Ecobuttons
Many attempts have been made to fuse art and science. I see the two fields not as inconsistent, not as incompatible, but as complementary; as two distinct but indispensible strands in the ever spreading network of tools and ideas that humans use to enquire about the world and their place in it. With this project I intend to blur the notions of what a community science project is, what a community art project is. I hope to provide an interactive sociable space through which the people can explore for themselves the complex interactions, the simple laws, that go together to form an ecosystem, while they themselves are responsible for making something.
Working together we can learn and make our own human systems; of business, of economics, of community, work better. We all have a place in these systems. We can all belong. This is your project. Your vision. This is

Mission:
I see myself as closing the windows to boredom, to despondency, to social exclusion, to the feeling that nothing you could do has the possibility of making a difference to the world. Instead I wish to open the window to optimism and understanding and the feeling that even a single child can make ripples in the world.
