演講主題 / 創造與重塑：在美學不滿時代中的設計
Andrew Ananda Voogel 是一名混合媒體藝術家，也是Taitungerful Recycle Co. 的共同創辦人，該組織總部位於台東，致力於提高人們對塑膠污染的認識並提供解決方案。塑膠污染危機正在影響我們全球的河流、海洋和社區。
身為藝術家，他的作品曾在達卡藝術高峰會、高知穆吉里斯雙年展、Manifesta 11、紐約弗里茲藝術博覽會、舊金山藝術學院、加州大學柏克萊分校、耶拿斯塔特博物館、蘇納帕蘭塔藝術中心、東海岸大地藝術節、濟州當代藝術博物館、釜山海洋節、Serendipity 藝術節和重慶變革國際攝影錄影雙年展展出。
Voogel在國際機構講授並研究藝術、環境與創造力如何幫助我們應對日益增加的挑戰，這些機構包括加州大學伯克利分校、京畿文化財團、聯合國培訓與研究所、聯合國教科文組織創意城市論壇以及加州大學聖克魯斯分校。
他的作品曾兩次獲得舊金山現代藝術博物館 SECA 獎提名，並於 2018 年被 Verve 雜誌評為印度 40 位 40 歲以下創意人士之一。
演講概述
我們的城市環境越來越擁擠，不僅是汽車和建築物，還有各種污染物，其中一些是我們能看到的，而另一些則是看不見的。塑膠微粒就是我們引入地球生態系統的複雜材料之一。如今，它已經成為如此普遍的污染物，不僅存在於我們的河流和海洋中，塑膠微粒甚至出現在許多物種的肺部和細胞中，包括人類。
作為地球的守護者，我們面臨著幾個世紀的生態清理工作。作為設計師、創造者和創新者，我們將面對人類歷史上最具挑戰性的時期。我們如何改變與地球的關係？如何將廢塑膠這樣破壞性的污染物，作為建設未來的資源之一？我們如何利用設計和創意，重新平衡與自然環境的關係？
現在，年輕設計師都有機會利用他們的才華來建立一個未來，讓地球不僅僅被視為資源，而是作為一個可以共同療癒的創意夥伴。

Short Blurb of the Speech
Our urban environments are growing increasingly congested, not only with cars and buildings, but many kinds of pollution, some we can see and some we cannot. Plastics are one of these complex materials we’ve artificially introduced into our planetary ecosystem. It is now so ubiquitous as pollution that it is not only found in our rivers and oceans, but now micro-plastics are showing up in the lungs and cells of many species on the planet, including humans. As a human collective and stewards of our planet, we are facing centuries of ecological cleanup. As designers, creators and innovators you will be faced with some of the most challenging opportunities in human history. How can we evolve our relationship with the planet? How can destructive pollutants such as waste plastic be seen as one of the resources through which we can build our future? How can we use design and creativity to bring equilibrium back to our relationship with the natural environment? Now, more than ever young designers have the opportunity to use their talents to build a future where the earth is not just seen as a resource, but as a creative collaborator. One that we can heal together.
