Profile: ‘Ocean Cleanup’ – Ridding The World’s Oceans Of Plastic (Video)
The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, is developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.
Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans – legacy plastic – isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated.
FOUNDED 2013
Dutch inventor Boyan Slat founded The Ocean Cleanup at the age of 18 in his hometown of Delft, the Netherlands.
NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION
We are a registered charity as a ‘Stichting’ in the Netherlands, and a 501(c)(3) in the US.
HQ ROTTERDAM
The Ocean Cleanup’s team consists of more than 90 engineers, researchers, scientists and computational modelers working daily to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.

Design & Animation : Taehoon Park
Short animation for Animography.
I’m so glad that I have a chance to collaborate with Animography.
It’s very simple and fun animation :). The main idea of shrinking car is inspired by Conceptual artist Gabriel Orozco’s installation work.

Future Of Safe Driving: ‘Infrared & Iris Sensors’
The SEAT Smart Quality team uses Eye-Tracker glasses to track the driver’s gaze through infrared sensors, cameras and algorithms. Knowing where users are looking helps to achieve a more intuitive and secure interaction with devices such as infotainment.
This technology will have applications in other areas such as the design of mobility apps. Infrared light sensors, high resolution images and a sophisticated algorithm. All this technology is used to find out exactly where people are looking.
As we drive, the road must obviously be the main focus. That’s why it’s key to safety to be able to locate everything we’re looking for on the central console of the infotainment system at a glance, from the navigation system to the air conditioning or the radio.
“We must guarantee the minimum interaction time with the screen, and to do this the information must be where users intuitively and naturally look for it” says Rubén Martínez, head of SEAT’s Smart Quality department. To accomplish this, they now have an innovative system.
