Dreamboat: Floating Makerspace

The DREAMBOAT floating makerspace for Dreamspace academy is currently floating in the lagoon! It’s an art+science field station in the middle of one of the most interesting ecosystems on earth, the baticoloa lagoon! It’s the home of the mysterious singing fish, and even lights up green when it hears the singing fish song (they weren’t singing tonight so we played a recording, but the visuals totally worked!)

We have been working at a super fast paced rate on a tight budget during numerous crises and managed to pull it off!

It will be there to work as an observation post to monitor the interesting creatures like the mysterious singing fish, as well as the destination for tourism! And a floating art project!

Making Weatherproof Biopolymers

Betty has been working with PluginHUMAN to develop carbon neutral and carbon negative working practices and materials. During Dinacon, Betty will continue this creative research, investigating ways of developing weatherproof, compostable biopolymers. These biopolymers can be used widely as a replacement for many commercial plastics.
