Kinetic Albatross

THE ARTWORK

The Kinetic Albatross is a 6-meter-wide 3D printed sculpture crafted from recycled P.E.T plastic material. It depicts an albatross flapping its wings indefinitely, a living sculpture that mimics the shape of this endangered species. It represents many marine animals who are also threatened by plastic pollution. This albatross is beautiful and majestic, but is full of holes, wounds caused by humans. 

The albatross flies elegantly in the sky to remind our audience that life is beautiful and fragile. Through this installation, we hope to inspire our audience to cherish life, and to make a change through conscious behaviour. 

As a wrap up of the entire experience, to help reinforce and extend the message beyond the exhibition, guests can take away a postcard embedded with homegrown webAR technology (no app required) containing more educational content presented in a fun, engaging way.  The webAR contains a short animated clip to demonstrate what people can do to make a change.  Sharing and reinforcement is key in conservation business.
