  D/struct - Lucas Maassen and Raw Color via jeremyriad

 Lucas Maassen and Raw Color created the project D/struct. They are questioning the possibility to own a product when it is virtual. Music and movies are detached from their physical carriers and can be borrowed or bought from shops and digital libraries. This restructuring is now beginning to manifest in the world of physical product. The technology of 3D scanning and 3D printing causes a decoupling of the shape of the product and the material it is made.

For over 10 years, Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang have been creating sculptures from plastic debris that washes up on a beach in Northern California. The couple repurposes everything from discarded combs to milk jug caps to toy soldiers in order create beautiful artworks that call attention to the problem of plastic pollution in our seas.

nprfreshair: Today’s Fresh Air, Susan Freinkel on chemicals in plastics: “These chemicals act in a more convoluted and complicated way.  ”They interfere with our hormones and they interfere with the endocrine system, which is the network of glands that orchestrate growth and development. And there’s some research showing that DEHP, this chemical that’s in vinyl [used in IV bags] has this property. It interferes with testosterone.” [complete interview here]

shortformblog: In Canada, the money — not just the credit card — goes plastic Sir Robert Laird Borden gets a plastic makeover: Do we need any more proof that paper’s a dying medium? Last month the Bank Of Canada announced details about their polymer-based $100 bills, which offer more security due to the basic fact that plastic is harder to counterfeit than paper. The first ones roll off out of the mint in November, and the $50 bill will change over in 2012. “Canada’s new bank notes will have innovative security features that are easy to verify,” said the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney. “The leading-edge technology in these notes will expand the frontiers of bank note security.” And on top of all this, the money is safer from the elements than paper. Are there any disadvantages to making bills out of plastic? (Above: Samples of paper $100 bills, via Bank Of Canada’s Flickr page) source Follow ShortFormBlog
