We think art & creativity are 2 of your 5 a day. Communities & environment are us. Science good, bullshit bad.

Thanks to @EnvAgency for swinging by to capture some video of us at our studio and at Science Beach. Great to be able to help out with the community engagement side of their planning works in Sandown Bay.

This photo shows the 2013 installation of the Yarmouth Primary School Vertipool. Designed and made with school children, this Bouldnor model Vertipool is still in place on a concrete seawall near their school today.

3/3
Systems.

1/3
Nodes. Conceived in the spaces between other nodes, born of properties unimagined; previously unknown, unseen, undiscovered, unexplored, unexplained, untapped, un-understood, unplanned, unexploited, unrealised....until they emerge as properties demanding to be known…..

[Eccleston George @ecclestongeorge]

2/3
…seen, discovered, explored, explained, tapped, understood, planned, exploited, realised. No longer emergent properties, instead, each a meritous node in its own right, with new spaces between them teeming with potential and the capacity to become something remarkable.

A twist in the many tales of the humble Knampspaggler!

[Artecology @ArtecologyDept]

For thirty years our craftsmen having been using a homemade pattern imprinting tool called Knampspaggler to create naturalistic weathering patterns in wet concrete surfaces. Today the Knampspaggler made a giant leap from tool ➡️ to artificial habitat!

In 2015 three important ideas came out of the House of Eccleston George and @arcteam.
1. @ArtecologyDept 2. @poomuseum 3. @ImagineRefiner 4. @SpaceIw
With the arrival of @GosportHAZ Imagination Refinery, all four ideas are now up and running!
👏 @makers_guild great work! 🫡

[Imagination Refinery @ImagineRefiner]

How it started, how it’s going! In 2015 we had an idea. In 2023 it’s a reality thanks to @GosportCouncil @GosportHAZ, Pete Fellows, @makers_guild.
Creativity was worth £109 billion to UK economy in 2021 according to @DCMS . Creativity starts with imagination!

Vertipools (artificial tide pools) deployed in France as part of the MARINEFF research project that has now come to and end. 2018 -2023.
Photos show the newly installed array, and the same Vertipools several months after installation.

Director Dan with the heat gun and a giant poo! Just another behind the scenes working day at the poo museum! 😂

[Artecology @ArtecologyDept]

Working today with @IndependentArts on a project called #Wavelength. School workshop making habitat vessels using sand-casting. Kids then joined @arcteam, @TheCoralCentre & @FutureOceansFdn for interactive activities, discovering living coral, a pop-up natural history museum!

An island haemorrhaging young people would do well to listen these brave youngsters.
Oi, old people, ‘Do Something Different’ or the projected population data for young people leaving here will become reality in less than a decade.
No young people, no #IsleofWight. Simple!

[Nigel George @NigeGeorge]

‘Do Something Different’, a brilliant docu film made by young people of Sandown Bay. A call to action for young & old alike to break the cycle of pattern repeat behaviours which hold their home town in status quo.
A WAKE UP call to Town Councils & Local Authorities. Superb!
