Salt as a new way of living

For our project, we have chosen to opt for the material salt. Salt is much more diverse than previously thought. One of the words we use to describe our project is saltification, which means that we want to "rebuild" the desert by building buildings with salt. Eric Geboers is one of the designers we used and researched for this project. The Atacama desert and more specifically Cordillera de la Sal. This is a very dry part where there is no life at all. Thanks to the project we came up with the self-sustainable salt city, we can reinventalize (look at how to re-involve and colonize a society in this place) these places again. By mixing salt with cornstarch you get a sturdy material with which there can be built. The company SaltX from Sweden is working on a new way of producing energy with salt. They are making energy storage to keep the power supply 24/7. What they do is that they take renewable energy, storing it, and delivering steam when needed. SaltX stores energy in chemical bonds thermochemically within a nanocoated salt. To charge the salt, they need to heat it up to 550 degrees Celcius. When it reaches that temperature, the salt will release water and become ‘dry salt’. You can store the dry salt for weeks, even months. Without losing his energy. To discharge the energy, you just add water to the salt again, a chemical reaction will happen and high-temperature steam will be released. The steam can then generate energy again. There is already a British scientists team working on a "fake rain" invention: The Sahara Forest Project. The creator is the Scottish person, Charlie Paton. Their discoverable (rediscover sustainability) idea consists of greenhouses that operate entirely on an environmentally friendly energy system in which large mirrors project solar rays onto solar panels, which generate extra electricity. My major connect with this task due to the fact that we want to inform and educate people. Many people are not at all familiar with the Atacama desert, the terrible things that have happened here, and the new ways of sustainable construction. We can bring this into the world in an educational yet light way. I study DBKV, in which I am trained as an educator. The younger generation must understand that how we treat the world now is not the way. By employing more people in sustainable materials such as salt, we can make a difference. By following my major, I have noticed that being a teacher, thinking in terms of solutions is the way to go. I hope to inspire the younger generation to be better, just like my teachers have done for me. As the theory reference, I took the podcast of mothers of invention. They talk about the nomads and that we as humans must therefore deal much better with the earth. The earth is a living organism that never really gets any rest and works 24/7. The most important thing about this project is that we want to continue to respect that place because the people who now live there have a special spiritual bond with the environment. We want to transform the uninhabitable area into a livable, self-sustainable place, ergo re-habilitate.

Saltification

To use salt in a different context than on your food may seem a bit weird at first, but it is actually a very big part of Eric Geboers’ master thesis. He thought beyond the idea of what we use salt for these days and made a whole plan for building a city made of salt in the desert. The saltification of the desert.
In my own social practice project, me and my group took a big part of his project and started combining it with other techniques and methods. Our own salt city will be build in the Atacama desert, the driest desert on planet earth. We use salt in the context of electricity next to that it can be used as furniture. The material salt plays the biggest role in our project, though we also use algae, water and the sun to make sure that the processes containing salt can even happen in the first place. Since salt can easily be extracted from ocean water by making artificial salt lakes, the saltification of this specific desert is very sustainable as well.
This method can be connected to my own personal work in such a way that I like to think beyond materials. Reflecting it directly to my major, could I maybe even use saltification to take typical graphic design out of its context? What can salt do to graphic design? What is the boundary of the connection between the material and the discipline?

Re-habilitate

As discussed in the podcast from Mothers of Invention, it is important to know your environment and how to make sure you are not extracting the earth while giving nothing back to it. They talk about how nomads are a great example of a good way of living with your surroundings. They re-habilitate new areas every few months.
Though our project does not include moving every other period of time, we do make sure we extract as less as possible from the earth. On the contrary, we actually have a system in our salt city where algae create biomass in the end of the process which can be then fed to the ground. We also create fresh water by separating ocean water, which can also serve as food for growing green back into the desert. With this city, we will make the Atacama desert partly habitable again. We re-habilitate the area.
Re-habilite may not be directly connected to my major, but I do think the way of looking is very important to graphic design and my work. Look at what we have now, why we think living/growing/anything is not possible over there and ask, but why not? From such a starting point, start researching.

Recosmetic
What does it mean: the method of slowly swapping all of your old harmful cosmetics out for new better ones. Not actively throwing away usable products but the activity of slowly making sure every product is used until empty before buying a new, sustainable one. Discarding all of your non sustainable products away and buying new sustainable ones to use straight away would be counterproductive. This is to minimize waste while we change into a world where we only use sustainable cosmetics and all cosmetics are created from only fully renewable resources.
It relates to the theory of ´Degrowth´: we need to change our behaviour to fit the very limited resources available. The solution is not to keep buying more products, not even if they happen to be sustainable ones. We need to change the way we make and buy cosmetics in the long term, by slowly using up every product you have and swapping it for a sustainable one. I came across an interesting group of designers who works with this concept of how counterproductive waste is. They created a smart bin which only allows you to open it once every hour, to point out just how much we actually waste.
Since my major is art teaching, teaching is in my experience a lot about slow, long term progress and being patient. The same goes for changing consumer behaviour. This circles back to the idea of degrowth. We don't want consumers to buy more new cosmetics, we want to change their way of using cosmetics entirely. This means finishing non sustainable products you already have, swapping products for things you can easily diy, and if you still need to buy something new after you have done all that, to make sure you pick something that is sustainable and fully made from renewable resources.
As you might have guessed from the term I came up with, our project was on the pollution, exploitation, and greenwashing in the cosmetic industry and how to make consumers aware of this. We see a future in only making cosmetics out of fully renewable resources, and only using the thing we actually need. We strive to no longer be seeing this ever changing stream of cosmetic trends, but a new world with new cosmetic brands, fully renewable and sustainable. In our project we created a platform to inform consumers about the wrong doing in the cosmetic industry.This also circles back to my major as an educator, We really tried to create awareness in a taget group who might already be aware of some of the issues, they for example will check for animal testing certificates, but they are yet to be made aware of how big the problem exactly spreads out.

Dictionary, two terms I invented


Self-defloorestation

Self-defloorestation is a combination between seafloor deforestation and land deforestation combined with the destruction of life itself caused by us humans. We deforest the land and the seafloor for our own purposes. But at the same time while doing this we are being very self destructive. We create our own extinction if we go on like this. And with that the extinction of all life on earth. The rainforests and marine plants absorb the carbon-dioxide on earth and provide us with oxygen. But every minute there are 27 soccer fields of land deforestation and 4316 soccer fields of seafloor deforestation. So we are really on the way of clearing out all the floor we are standing on and making sure that in a few decades we just won’t be able to exist anymore.


De-ocstuckivism

De-ocstuckivism is the activism targeting saving the oceans and all the life in it. It is doing this by targeting the commercial fishing industry and the pollution of the ocean, mainly by plastic (so the plastic soup), but also the oil spills and so on. This can be done in all sorts of ways. By urging people to recycle more or by bringing this matter to the outside world and pointing out to people how bad the situation is. Education and knowledge are very important in this matter. The commercial fishing industry is a way bigger problem than most people think and is actually the main cause of seafloor deforestation and destruction of all marine life. It also causes more than 50% of the plastic waste in the ocean because of the fishing nets. So not only should we recycle more, we should also very urgently do something about the commercial fishing industry. A lot of big corporations are to blame for this and a lot of them are trying to cover it up by greenwashing. De-ocstuckivism is very much needed to save the ocean and all life in it and with that also save our future because without the ocean and marine life, we would be dead as well.


Reflection:

Both of these terms were useful to me while working on my project. I personally applied the de-ocstuckivism in my work with making a photo series about the pollution of the ocean, so within my major Photography, and used self-defloorestation as a resource point for my work. I learned a lot from the work of Lynn Margulis (Feldman, “Symbiotic earth”) were she states that we humans are not the leading life form on earth, but that bacteria actually are. And also that with polluting the earth we are destroying those micro organisms and with that we are destroying our change of development and evolution. From the book, Pluriverse A post-development dictionary (Kothari et al.) I also learned a lot of new terms and ways of thinking that inspired me by creating my own new terms. It is all about how you explain a term and in what context to use it. And both of these terms together really well explain my vision and goal I had while working on this project. They explain my urge to do something about this problem and to create and hopefully inspire people or new ways of thinking and doing.

Theorie Assigment Social practise New Earth.

With my group I researched the natural material Salt. The most common term we found was Salinization. Salinization is the increase in the salinity in the soil, groundwater and surface water. Salinization is caused by drought, drainage of certain areas, floods, rising sea level. Fresh water is becoming saltier and ends up in our water system.

In our project a new term is born; called Profit-salinization. Profit-Salinization is meaning that we make Profit from-salinization. Profit-salinization is different than De-salination because the salinization problem stay’s existing the only thing we do is make it profitable for us as humans. De-salination is a process that takes away mineral components from saline water.

There is already a method for the De-salination of water. It’s called MemPower https://www.wur.nl/nl/show-longread/Zuiver-water-en-elektriciteit-met-MemPower.htm MemPower is a method founded by Wageningen University & Research and makes very pure water with membrane distillation using solar heat or residual heat. With this new technology, no electricity is needed because it is actually produced. For example, clean drinking water and electricity can be made from salt (sea) water.

But there is another important effect of MemPower that got our interest. Electricity is produced with MemPower. This MemPower is a double profit to this salinization problem because it’s generates fresh water and even electricity and fits to this new term: Profit salinization.

Profit salinization works especially on places where sea and fresh water meet each other. To keep our project local, we choose Rotterdam for further investigation of how Profit salinization should develop.

In our project we show a speculative visual of Sea-urbanism. Sea-Urbanism is urbanism shifted on the water. Urbanism is the study of cities and their environmental, economic, cultural, social, geographic, and administrative-political influence on the environment. In this Sea-urbanistic visual, Profit salinization is an important keyword. In this speculative visual we practice Rotterdam 100 years into the future where a lot of water is part of Rotterdam and even the Netherlands. Floating houses are part of the city landscape. Those houses generate their energy with this MemPower method. The houses are connected to each other by pathways like ordinary urbanism.

A nice example is the floating office in Rotterdam which is called the FOR building. https://www.forbuilding.nl This building is designed by Powerhouse Company. This office is a circular building. This building is design that help to create the vison of circular and climate neutral building.

Trans-function-salt
The function of salt for humans is nowadays using it to give taste to food or preserve food. Which means that we are getting a lot of salt into our bodies and often too much.

By Trans-function-salt I mean that we give it a different function. A function that is centered on the climate and less on the humans. In our speculative design we shift the function of salt to generate energy from it which does not bother the climate.

In my major Spatial design, I am used to regular energy solutions like gas, earth oil. But there is a lot more, if I look further. This practice has pushed me to the boundaries with researching a (for me very simple daily using) material like salt. By trying to make a plan based on an issue a lot of question came up that were in the first place not on my mind.

A circular economy, something that sounds so good but is stil so far from our current economy. According to Giacomo d’Alisa in Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary (1) the main aims of the circular economy are:
Reduce the use of raw material
More reusing
More recycling
I have to say myself that even these three things that sound so simple, some of them that you can do at home, are sometimes hard to follow.
The term circular economy is something that interests me, within my major we don't talk about topics like sustainability that much. But I’ve developed an interest in it during my time at the academy.
During my search for inspiration on Pinterest, I came across the artist Youyang Song, textile designer (2). The first thing I was drawn to when I saw images of her work was her use of vibrate colours, interesting shapes and textures. Her website says 'material innovation', which intrigued me immediately. She made bioplastics from biowaste, in combination with food waste such as banana peel. In Europe alone, around 88 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually. (3) With her work she provides new materials that are partly made form waste, are biodegradable and are easily recyclable. she crosses all three of the main aims for a circular economy. This is where I realised the possibilities for biomaterials, and for my major project I started to use fruit peels as a tool.
I started researching bioplastics and biomaterials during my last major project which really got me experimenting and working with my hands.
I mixed different biomaterials with different kinds of waste to see what kind of properties the material would get.
I'm looking forward to experimenting more with waste and how to give it another purpose.

For the project of the social practice, me and my group chose the ingredient salt. We were interested in using salt as a building material and how that would contribute to more sustainable buildings. During our research we came across a huge mountain located in the middel of Germany that's entirely made out of table salt. The mountain is a byproduct of potash mining. It's waste thrown on a pile, because it's the cheapest option to dispose of it and they don't know what else to do with all that salt. The mountain is very harmful to the environment as the salt is infiltrating the area surrounding the mountain. When we saw footage of the mountain we were amazed that it had come so far for it to be so big. This made us think about how we could get rid of that mountain of salt. The salt was seen as waste, but there are so much more things salt can do than to eat it. I connected the circular economy term to this because within our project our ultimate goal is to live in an economy where byproducts as salt are used for new things.
A circular economy, something intriguing and intimidating. It may be far away still, but I hope I can contribute to it.

REDEFINING

For our project we took inspiration from BlueCity in Rotterdam. This is a place where startup companies that work in a sustainble way are located. The core value of these startups is that nothing goes to waste. By using the waste of the city they make new products with a longer durability that can be used for a new purpose. For example using the peels of damaged mangos from the market to make leather. Or making wooden furniture with the old wood of the port of Rotterdam. By using old materials for new products BlueCity is redefining the word trash. Instead of just throwing it away you can look for possibilites. From trash the material becomes something useful .We translated these ideas into our own project and created SaltCity. This is a place where also companies are located. The idea of SaltCity is that these companies use the salt of Monte Kali for their products. In our research we have seen that the mining company that is responsible for the giant mountain of salt doesn't know what to do with the salt and just dumps it. With SaltCity we are redefining the salt and turn it into a useful material. Redefining is something we do in my major as well (teacher training). As a teacher it happens that methods or terms are outdated and not useful anymore for education. By reinventing and looking what is suitable for today's date education can still me given but with a fresh view.

DEGROWTH

In a nutshell degrowth is downscaling of production and consumption to gain enviromental sustainability. As described in Pluriverse A Post-Develpoment Dictionary degrowth is about escaping the fetishm of growth (money) and be more focused on sustainabillty (enviroment). In our project the mining company who is responsible of Monte Kali didn't think about other options to deal with the salt because it's too expensive. They picked the cheapest option and that's dumping it on a pile. Degrowth is not really about doing things smaller but doing things differently. So in case with the mining company they shouldn't just decrease their potash mining but look for possibilties what they can do with the salt. Thatt's when SaltCity can be used as a possible sollution. The potash mining still continues but there is now a destination for the salt. Degrowth is something that could be used in my major as well. In Dutch highschools the number of students are getting bigger. That makes it harder for the teachers to perform their jobs because now they need to put more energy into their lessons. It also happens that students who need special education are putted in regular classes. So not a good situation for student and teacher. This all happens because of economizing. Literally looking for cheaper options. We as upcomming teachers can come with sollutions for example making lessons shorter for the people who don't need help so there is more time for the studens who are struggeling. But I think the main sollution would be putting good education above mone

When choosing this social practice I was expecting assignments and classes about the behaviour of humans and maybe even how to change them. When I got exactly that I was a bit confused, it was the total opposite of my expectations. Where I was thinking more like a designer focussing on his client, this social practice taught me to take it back to the first, and probably most important step in modern design.
To have the knowledge to really know about your surroundings, about changing environments and about new changes in developing for example material in a fungus based manner could be the first step in design. I was expecting to look at others, and change them, this practice did exactly the opposite. It showed by example how I should change my behaviour in design.

While researching on the internet I stumbled oppun a capsule like space made by Emerging Objects, an American studio. This capsule was made by 3D printing salt. The shape, light and texture are amazing and it all started by an interest in innovative design with a very common material. This combination, salt as a building material and 3D printing, show the immense new possibilities in designing that lays ahead of us.

The combination of all the new technologies we are creating now can maybe make the earth into an utopia again? Maybe we can stop our environmental influence by breaking free from biological resources and natural cycles. This brings me to reading the chapter ‘ecomodernism’ by Sam Bliss and Giorgos Kallis in the Pluriverse dictionary. Ecomodernisme strives for fixing the environmental problems created by technology, by using and developing more technology. The way to go is by extracting humankind from nature and creating a dense area where humans can live. Now this utopia (or dystopia) is difficult to envision but fascinating to do so. The chapter also states that humankind should break free from biological resources and natural cycles. Now this contradicts recent innovations with natural products. If humankind is good at something it is draining natural resources. For some reason I wouldn’t be surprised if we like salt thát much and we start using it for more than food consumption reasons, that we will somehow still affect our environment. It’s a bit like how the E-sigaret was envisioned to not be harmful. Is it possible to erase our ecological footprint on this earth? I do not think building more nuclear energy power plants, like the text states, will be helpful.

Since I do Spatial Design my interest lies in the future of spaces. A new development in the area (in the west) are eco villages. Near Almere, RenGenVillages is building The Netherlands first eco village. The construction company ReGen Villages, wanted to be able to tackle the issues of our time – population growth, housing shortages and environmental and sustainability issues. With houses costing between 250.000 and 850.000 this is a very out-of-reach utopia for most.
In the Pluriverse Dictionary Martha Chaves wrote a chapter about eco villages. The term eco village describes a human scale settlement in which human activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world that is supportive of healthy human development. Eco villages represent a change in human behaviour moreover a change in the economic system alone.

This utopia is something that I see happening and that is already happening now, even in the Netherlands. In southern parts of the world it is a more common thing. The global north is a difficult environment for eco villages due to the high costs of land and the lack of financial gain by the villages. The global differences are still of an effect, but innovative design and maybe even a bit of eco modernistic thinking might be a great combination of creating this ‘New Earth'.

Cogens-Aquaius
During the research for my practice New Earth, I started to think a lot about the right of having water. As described in Rizmi, Uzma. "Decolonization as Care." Slow Reader: A Resource for Design Thinking and Practice, Eds. Strauss, Carolyn and Pais, Ana Paula. Amsterdam: Valiz, 2017, we as western people have a very inferior position when it comes to the use and access to clean drinking water.Responsibility and competition between international institutions are two important considerations when looking at the human right to water as described in; The right to water and water rights in a changing world, Colloquium papers, Delft, the Netherlands.
In The Netherlands for example we shower, drink, wash and water the plants with the cleanest water in the world, without even thinking about it. We have never experienced what it is like to live with water scarcity. What would it be like if you didn't have water for a week? Can we empathize with people in Africa, for example? Can we reflect on our luxury habits and privileged position? Do we also see the imbalance in the world at this point? Will we then be able to realize that clean drinking water is a fundamental Human right? And if we do, what will that mean?
As a spatial designer, this practice has given me a lot of thoughts about how to solve the problem of changing the paradigma for our western inferior behavour, wich make still no significant changes. I believe there is a connection between spatial design and water shortages. For example, in my research I have found that there are many possibilities to deal creatively with water shortages. Such as, for example; Hong Kong architecture studio Orient Occident Atelier, they have designed a Civic Center that harvests water for the small Cambodian village of Sneung. There are many more examples of innovative ideas like this, if one is able and willing to decide to change the way of looking at this problem.
I connected some words by merging existing terms, which originated in Latin. I have also tried to link these centuries-old words in terms of content to the present-day Fundamental Human Rights. After all, the right to water is not only for the privileged Western people.
So, I came up with a new term: Cogens-Aquaius.
Aqua is the Latin word for water. I have chosen a word very well known worldwide to reach many a bigger audience. It is true, however, that this is a Latin word. In the future it could for example become an African word.
I got 'Ius' from the well-known term 'Ius ad Bellum'. This comes from the Latin, a right that applies in time of war. Another example is 'Ius Soli', a legal right about nationality (the right of the land). The word Ius is also known as the word 'Jus'. For example, you have the word 'Jus Cogens' which means; mandatory law.
Jus cogens is the general term in international law for universally binding unwritten norms of civilization. Or, as the Vienna Convention on Treaties defines it: "a norm accepted and recognized by the international community as a whole, and a norm from which no deviation is permitted, and which can only be changed by a later norm of international law of the same nature".
Cogens-Aquaius thus represents the generally binding unwritten civilization standard that 'everyone has the human right to clean water and sanitation, which is physically accessible within or in the immediate vicinity of the household, educational institution, workplace or health institution. According to WHO, the water source should be within 1000 meters of the house and the collection time should not exceed 30 minutes. '' (from: United Nations General Assembly by Resolution 64/292, July 28, 2010)
That resolution calls on states and international organizations to provide funding, capacity building and technology transfer to help countries, especially developing countries. So that means if this is really a human right, we have to act like this and think three times before we take a sip of water!

Hypocritical Activism

During the New Earth practice, I was thinking a lot about how to create a performance/education tool without becoming the thing you swore to combat. As artists (and myself as an illustration student), we have to face the reality that making art often creates unnecessary waste. Sadly even art pieces and education material are not exempted from this. Often well-meaning ideas backfire inevitably, for example; ordering bamboo cutlery from a different country as a method to combat single-use plastics, handing out countless stickers/pamphlets at protests, or Bjarke Ingels meeting with Jair Bolsonaro to discuss sustainable development opportunities. So in that spirit I was focusing on not wasting water while trying to educate about water scarcity, etc.
The term I came up with for this essay is:' Hypocritical Activism'. It is related to performative activism and green-washing, but in contrast to those two, hypocritical activism is not always rooted in ill will or malevolence.
Being hypocritical means saying or presenting you have certain moral beliefs but showing in your behavior that those beliefs are not sincere.
While performative activism is usually done to increase ones social capital, like posting a black square on your Instagram feed to show support to the George Floyd protests, but not signing the petition to arrest his murderers (28 million Instagram users participated in 'Blackout Tuesday,' while 13 million people signed the petition to arrest the police officers), hypocritical activism means destroying your own point through your actions, for example wasting water in a project about water scarcity.
To references Janis Birkeland's 'Eco-Positive Design,' we must decide for ourselves if we think that art/education only contributes 'to sustainability if they provide more benefits than no' art at all. A critical point I think I have to mention is that the term isn't meant to devalue/value any activism. The slogan:'There's no ethical consumption under capitalism:' applies to activism as well. Is a wasteful/shocking art installation going to create so much social change in the end that the benefits override the cost? For Rafael Perez Evans, the artist who dumbed around 30 tons of carrots on the pavement in front of the Goldsmiths University of London in a performance piece called 'Grounding' to call attention to the wasting of food, the answer seems clear. I, myself, am more inspired by the students that decided to use the carrots to make soups, salads and cakes to sell and donate for food banks in Lewisham.
However, that is for each of us to decide on our own. All is fair in love and war - and climate crisis, right? But for this project, I firmly believe that teaching children about the importance of water in nature and themselves and the importance of combating pollution and fighting for accessible water for all while, in contrast, wasting water does not make sense. That is the reason why we ended up going with the idea of immersive projections that do not use any actual water instead of having the children literally play with water.
