Yay!! Fabulous party and we completed the tidal cycle artwork!!
So this reel needs an explanation.
This is Precious Plastic Plymouth recycling with the partygoers on Union Street today. We have an exercise bike converted into a shredder and then injection mould while you watch to make something new. Today we made buttons and added them to a tidal curve of Plymouth’s tides for this week.
We did this to engage people with the Intertidal project, an intriguing artwork by , with cars that respond to the tide, and to explain more about how tides work 😁🎶♻️
Crazy, fun, arts/science/sustainability mash up!

Have you ever seen a car that responds to the tide?

I went to a fascinating talk from artist, David Cotterrell about the ideas behind the project last night.

We are really excited that Precious Plastic Plymouth is part of the programme.

We’ll be running tide-clock making workshops at The Plot, using recycled plastic to create something beautiful while thinking about our relationship with the sea and the changing tides.

More about the project in the BBC article below 👇

David Cotterrell's installation has the water level in the cars change in tune with the tides.
