Hi everyone,

Some of you may be interested in the current interactive exhibition in the Science Gallery in Trinity College Dublin (just opposite St Mark’s church), ‘Surface Tension’, which runs until January.

It’s free, and also suitable for kids. Its very thought provoking, in terms of how we use the planets resources (amazing how much water is used in making a beef sandwich!), and also has good sections on the successes and failings of first world water development projects for the third world.

Here’s the blurb:
The future of water is the subject of tension. Water is both disposable and sacred, a muse for artists and a necessity for life – a source of healing and of conflict. The Earth has abundant water, but only a very small proportion is available for human use. How should this be managed and sustained, and what would a water-scarce future look like?
SURFACE TENSION brings together work by artists, designers, engineers and scientists to explore the future of water, playing on its physical properties, its role in politics and economics, and ways in which it may be harnessed, cleaned, and distributed.
