micro-+plastics
By studying microplastic, use the high-absorption-resin-made beads to visualise the data set:
"65 million microplastic particles were released each day in the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant, equating to approximately 100 particles/population-equivalent/day."
Each visitor will be offered one glass of 100ml water with 1g beads, they are required to place their glasses on the display counter. One glass represents "approximately 100 particles/population-equivalent/day were released".

The data set is presented via an exhibition, involving public participation and a split screen video. 65 different sounds from the plastic-made objects represent "65 million microplastic particles", and the process of the beads expanding in the bottle represents the microplastics released in the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant.
