Conscious Dives

The interdisciplinary group Conscious Dives: (Slow) Artventure Experiences was formed to create the interactive underwater art installation “Plastic Futures” and its main goal is the design of ‘slow tourism’ experiences, which will offer an alternative model of sustainable recreation, combining contemporary art with the protection of the marine ecosystem.

Group members are Nadia Skordopoulou, visual artist with international experience in site-specific landscape art installations and creator of the “Plastic Futures” art installation; Ferdinando Laconi, environmental scientist with a focus on marine biology and professional expertise in waste management, scientific advisor of the project; Apostolos Roditis, mechanical engineer and founder of Ulysses Multihull Adventures, technical consultant; and Veroniki Korakidou, interdisciplinary artistic researcher, who is the project curator.
