Development #1 – Initial ideas

In the week 7 Friday studio class, we are grouped up as three members to work together for the following assignments. My group is asked to research academic sources to support the pollution that occurs by human activities in Melbourne and China regions. Air pollution is the most common type of all, and which stood up in my mind straight away as soon as I am acknowledged that we are going to do some research about the pollution issues.

We have been listing three aspects of pollution we can engage in through the after-class group meeting. They are Industrial waste gas emissions; Household exhaust, and Recycled waste issue.
The industrial exhaust will focus on factory exhaust and car exhaust, and those are the ‘biggest fans’ in producing the air pollution in our daily lives.

Air conditioners apparently can be one of the Household exhaust outputs. According to the news report in the latest decade, air conditioners have become unconsciously influenced in weighting the global warming incident. Besides, from my perspective, lawnmowers are also trouble in this case, as they consume diesel.

The recycled waste issue definitely is the topic which I concern the most. Massive amount of recycled waste landing on the public ground or floating on the ocean have brought unpredictable damage to the environment.

Everything in nature is entangled and dynamic. “A world that already exists, populated by objects-as-such, but is rather immanent in the very process of that world’s continual generation or coming-into-being (Ingold, 2011)”. The reproduction of one species may bring about the extinction of another species. In this Anthropocene era, every move of human behaviours is likely to be driven as a harmful deed to the damaged environment. For the following media piece making, we are decided to concentrate on recording some details of the ‘damaged world’ using slow motion and close-up shooting techniques etc. In the meantime, we present our ideas, and we are also meant to zoom the circumstance we need to deal with.
