Sustainability Resonator empowers green development

The CHINAPLAS 2023 Installation Art – Sustainability Resonator – is a co-creation of CHINAPLAS, multidisciplinary artist Alex Long and the global plastics and applications industries. It aims to build an energy body for delivering the necessity and effectiveness of aggregation, addressing today’s problems about climate change and the environment.

Among various energy forms, the developers have picked wave, which is a conduction carrier of energy and represents the trend. Sound wave is one of the basic carriers of thoughts. Most communication, knowledge, feelings and ideas find their origins from the transmission of sound.

In the development process, CHINAPLAS collected voice messages for promoting sustainable development from over the world. Every voice cell was transformed from a piece of voice by parameter processing on computer and then made into a solid body by 3D printing technology. The cells were assembled together to build the final model.

An NFC chip is embedded in the voice cell. Audiences having entered the resonator can listen to the voice files by moving their mobile phones close to the voice cells.

Besides, the Plastic Recycling Experience Area at the Sustainability Resonator site offers visitors the opportunity to experience the plastics recycling process through the operation of granulator, shredder, injection molding machine and extruder. The recycled products are given away as souvenirs.
