- In the past, sailors on whaling ships would carve whale teeth into works of art in a process called scrimshaw. These pieces would be brought home to loved ones as mementos of the voyage. Design incubator Studio Swine is attempting to recycle found materials and turn this aged art form into a more sustainable practice. In this short film, travel to remote parts of the ocean, where “the closest people are in a space station,” and watch as the process of collecting ocean trash and transforming it into beautiful treasure unfolds.

Ooohhh, I see an ivory alternative! I wish that there was a way to educate everyone in Africa, Asia, and the whole world about collecting marine trash to melt, and turn into scrimshaw. Of course, they'd be too ignorant to listen unless we tell them that they'll make more of their weight in gold with that than by poaching animals to extinction.
the result was stunning! but I wonder what happens to the other bits of plastic that aren't white?
beautiful.
This process is on my bucket list as of now.
son muy bonitos pero muy tristes al mismo tiempo pero todavía hay mucha gente de buen corazón gente como esa es la que el mundo necesita
It is truly beautiful.
Beautiful short film.
beautiful and inspiring
Find any Lego pieces?
Should do these in all kinds of various colors!
Bruh
Doing god's work by cleaning the ocean bit by bit and turning the trash into something beautiful :3
I like the way they did
beautiful
That's awesome art
This is Awesome
Good idea
I wish I could learn how to do that
Amazing person and works!
_I would love to buy a piece or two but I'm sure it would be hard._ *_Money & or availability of pieces would be issues to overcome._*
I re-purpous many things, did so more in the past though. Made some projects, a table out of Japanese wood that was a crate. A CD/DVD/VHS rack made out of a heavy duty crate from Cincinnati Milacron. _Just a few things, nothing like this fellow is doing though._
Cheers All,

Think of ALL the resources used in the manufacture of this luxury boat, could not be made without mining natural resources , plastics, fiberglass,stainless steel, and the camera used to record it all
Warm greeting❤
plastic should become illegal, that way we could avoid the damage to the ecosystem and also hinder the fossil fuel industry.
+Nairod2 especially water in plastic bottles is crazy.... should use recycle paper/cardboard..........
keith wisdom glass and organic materials should be the global standard. also the privatization of water in plastic bottles is another big damage to 1 economy 2 ecosystem.
but oh well that is not going to happen corporations will exploit this planet for resources until life on earth is not suitable anymore. so we better stater evolving to digest plastics and petroleum derivatives.
Good points; just don't understand; corporation can still make money and save the earth.... I guess they don't care even about their own future family members......
keith wisdom dogmatic indoctrination, the Pseudo-Religion (ideology) of major capitalist in the world is called Eugenics. they think they will be able to modify humans through genetic manipulation to the point of leaving behind our biological nature, or hoping they will develop technology to achieve eternal life. or what they call the "singularity" or the merge of humans whit technology.
the ideal world of those who control the current socioeconomic structure of society would be a giant hive where humans become obsolete and replaceable and the few allowed to live will become servant of an Aristocratic minority. (but is not like we are far from that reality, basically that is what crony capitalism and state indoctrination is)
so they don't care about the state of the ecosystem because if life in the planet starts to perish they will have the resources to live a normal life, or ultimately they will cede to be humans.
*sigh* the kind of ideologies that occur when Humans lost contact with the natural processes of the universe.
eternal life........only one way to receive that
2!!!!!
what is the climate there like
okay, but what happens with the shavings? they go back in the ocean and even more difficult to collect...
Exactly, this is why I don't even wear any plastic clothes
hi
Fascinating. But I'm not clear how it is economically viable.
Art doesn't need to be economically viable 😸 it seldom is.
Which countries pollutes the most the ocean?
usa
Me seg

1!!!
the result was stunning! but I wonder what happens to the other bits of plastic that aren't white?
+Geraldine Koh I imagine he sells them to other artists.
