Will new technologies offer a viable alternative to temporary exhibitions? That's the question that we'll try to answer through the Bruegel box, an immersive art project by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This project is the concretization of a deep reflection on the changes taking place in the field of museology. In this digital age, the Bruegel box (or any other painter's box) will enable us to explore new possibilities and will become the setting for a new museum space. The technology will serve the art, facilitating its access when physical transportation becomes increasingly binding. It also allows us to expand the museum experience and the meeting with the art pieces, by exporting the project abroad when the work itself can't be loaned overseas anymore.After an introduction of the project, from the original ideas that initiated it to its actual production, we will share our experience with the delegates. We will review both the technical and human difficulties that were faced throughout its production.
Our overall aim is to raise questions on the future of museums in the digital age, opening up a debate. Is it this the future of the temporary exhibition? Will technology offer an alternative to broadcast our collections and enable museums to stay economically sustainable? Will future generations still be more likely to visit museums if we only can display digital or 3D printed duplicated masterpieces in order to protect our cultural patrimony? How to find the good balance between entertainment and scientific researches? And what about the "aura" of the pieces of art (W. Benjamin)? By being the 21st century museums, we need to redefine our fundamental missions.

Skeletal muscle has several key functions including body movement, posture, respiration, communication, organ constriction, and heart beat. Muscle tissue is excitable, contractile, extensible, and elastic. The three main types of muscle are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is voluntary, striated, and attaches to bones to enable movement. It makes up around 40% of body weight. Smooth muscle is involuntary and found within organs. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and pumps blood throughout the heart. Muscles contain myofibrils which are made up of repeating contractile units called sarcomeres composed of actin and myosin filaments. Nerve impulses trigger calcium release and the sliding

Organic Baby Products are important for several reasons. Babies are very susceptible to pesticides and other toxins contained in inorganic products. Choosing organic clothing/apparel, bedding, furniture, diapers and even toys can help ensure the health and safety of your baby. By creating a non-toxic environment for your baby, you help reduce early exposure to chemicals and heavy metals which can have negative long-term effects on your baby's growth and development. By choosing organic products, you are not only creating a healthier environment for your baby, but for your entire family and future generations.
Plastic poses significant threats to the environment and human life. It pollutes oceans and beaches, kills over 100,000 sea animals annually who mistake plastic for food, and takes up to 1000 years to degrade. Its production involves toxic chemicals that can cause cancer. Exposure to plastic during recycling can cause health issues. While governments work on solutions, small individual efforts like using reusable bags and recycling plastic can help address the problem.
Synthetic fibers are created through an extrusion process where fiber-forming materials are forced through holes to form threads. This was developed by scientists to improve upon natural animal and plant fibers. Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from purified cellulose that is chemically converted and dissolved, then forced through a spinneret to produce filaments. Nylon was the first synthetic polymer produced on February 28, 1935 by Wallace Carothers at DuPont; it is an aliphatic polyamide. Plastics are harmful to the environment during production and disposal as they do not degrade and release toxins, so reducing plastic use is important.

This document discusses the causes and effects of littering. It begins by defining littering and different types of litter, including hazardous materials. Litter can remain in the environment for a long time and have detrimental environmental and health impacts. Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter. The document then examines reasons for illegal dumping and littering behaviors. Passive littering is harder to reduce due to psychological factors. Effects of litter include visual pollution, threats to wildlife, water pollution, and fires. The document concludes by providing tips to properly dispose of waste and encourage responsible behaviors.
Plastic poses significant environmental problems. It is made from polymers that do not degrade and can persist in the environment for centuries. When plastic litter ends up in oceans and waterways, it kills over 100,000 marine animals every year either through ingestion or entanglement. Plastic bag litter also pollutes landscapes worldwide. While recycling aims to reduce plastic waste, the recycling process itself can release toxic fumes and harm workers. Small actions like using reusable tote bags and reducing single-use plastic can help address this global issue. Government regulations and individual responsibility are both important to lessen the environmental impact of plastics.
This document discusses the harms of plastic pollution and the plastic epidemic. It notes that plastic production has rapidly increased from 1.5 million tons in 1950 to over 320 million tons today, and is projected to double by 2034. Plastics contain chemicals like BPA and phthalates that disrupt human endocrine systems and are linked to issues like infertility, obesity, and cancer. Microplastics from degraded plastic are ubiquitous in water, food, and air. The document outlines various efforts underway to mitigate plastic pollution through ocean cleanup, bans on microbeads, development of biodegradable plastics, and reducing personal plastic use.
Presentation on Plastic By Kanishka and Nishtha from Hillwoods academy school...prakashrohit
This brief presentation on understanding plastic has been made by the young students of Hillwood Academy School in Delhi. The presentation also presents some simple ideas on what can be done to protect earth from the menace of plastic
Plastics are typically organic polymers made from petrochemicals or renewable sources like corn or cotton. The first man-made plastic, Parkesine, was created in 1862 and derived from cellulose. Celluloid, another early plastic, was invented in 1868 and used for movie film. While plastics have many uses like bags, furniture, and toys, plastic pollution is a major problem as it does not fully break down and harms wildlife and the environment when littered or dumped into the ocean. Alternatives to plastic bags include jute, canvas, reusable paper, or polypropylene bags. Plastics should be recycled to reduce environmental impact but avoid landfills and waterways.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. The study found that lockdowns led to short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter concentrations globally. However, the impacts on air quality were temporary and levels returned to pre-pandemic levels once restrictions were lifted and activity resumed.
The document warns that stuffed toys can be a source of pollution and invisible dangers for children since what goes on the skin can enter the body, and suggests washing stuffed toys frequently instead of continuing to buy new ones. However, it also states that washing toys frequently is not an excuse to keep buying more.
Polyester fabrics are made from toxic precursors that are carcinogenic and poisonous, exposing both workers and the environment to health risks during manufacturing. As a plastic material, polyester contributes to the body's toxic load in ways we are just beginning to understand. It is often treated with additional flame retardants that increase this toxic load. Dust mites that live in beds and on stuffed toys feed on shed human skin and their waste affects indoor air quality, potentially triggering allergic reactions and health issues like asthma or even cancer over time due to these pollutants.
Older stuffed animals from grandparents' time were made from natural and biodegradable materials like cotton, wool, fur and felt on the outside and natural fibers like rags, wood shavings or kapok for stuffing. These toys would decompose over time without harming the environment. Today's plush toys, in contrast, break sustainability rules by being made almost entirely from polyester derived from non-renewable oil that does not degrade and pollutes the environment. Synthetic polyfill is also increasingly used for stuffing instead of natural materials.
While stuffed animals were once treasured by grandparents, modern plush toys are often not cared for in the same way. These smiling toys known as stuffed animals or cuddly toys are soft and whiskery lumps of fun for children but may not be treated with the same affection as toys from earlier generations.
This document outlines a plan for a student project to design a website for a homeless youth shelter. It involves researching the causes of youth homelessness, analyzing the demographic of homeless youth, and mapping out the design process.

- Target market
* Young parents
- Problems
* Many young parents blindly buying stuffed toys for their children
*Young parents usually ignore the danger of stuffed toys
* Stuffed toys are made of toxic materials, such as synthetic fiber
*Stuffed toys are harmful to humans’ health and the global environment
- New desire
* Let young parents notice that how harmful the stuffed toys are and how do they
affect children’s health. As long as parents can see the problem then they will stop buying stuffed toys.
4. Research of the topic
• Today’sstuffed toys, break all the rules about sustainability. Almost all are made 100% from polyester, which in turn comes from
non-biodegradable, unsustainable, polluting oil. As with most elements of stuffed animal production, synthetic fibers and materials, such as
polyfill, are increasingly common in stuffing used for toys.
• Of 11 toys tested so far, most contained a broad range of compounds, with highest concentrations in the exterior fabric--not the stuff-
ing.
• PBDE 47 was found in all toys. PBDE 47- Pentabromodiphenyl ether (also known as pentabromodiphenyl oxide) is a brominated flame
retardant which belongs to the group of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Because of their toxicity and persistence, their industrial
production is to be eliminated under the Stockholm Convention, a treaty to control and phase out major persistent organic pollutants (POP).
• When used improperly, stuffed toys present hidden dangers that can be hazardous to children’s health, and even fatal.
• A study finds that stuffedtoys can accumulate potentially toxic air pollutants.
5. • Indoor Air Pollution- There are little creatures that live in stuffed animals. They are tiny and dust mites, invisable to human eye. They
like to eat dry flakes of skin, and their waste affects indoor air quality. Consider how much time you spend indoors. All that time, you’re
breathing in the air around you.
• These pollutants can cause a range of health problems, from triggering allergic reactions and asthma to cancer and even death.
• Jeff Gearhart, who led the Healthy Toys study, said one-third of the toys — about 500 — contained significant levels of lead, arsenic
and other chemicals.
• Your skin is the largest organ of elimination and absorption—what goes ON the skin goes IN the body;
• When toxins are absorbed through your skin, they are taken-up by the lymphatic system, then into the blood stream and eventually
the liver—the chemical-processing plant of the body responsible for removing toxins;
• Most synthetic fabrics, from stuffed animals and bed linens, are treated with chemicals during and after processing. These chemicals
not only leach into the environment, impacting groundwater, wildlife, air and soil, but they also may be absorbed or inhaled directly.
6. • Stuffed toys are put in everywhere in children’s bed room as decorations without any uses.
• The main problems of the stuffed toys - Made of systhetic fiber (toxic chemical materials)
• Damages:
* Indoor air polltion - The invisable dust that is hidden in the stuffed toys(Lead to human’s health problems).
* Outdoor pollution - When stuffed toys are washed, the toxic substances with water flows into the nature.
Poster theme:
STOP BUYING STUFFED TOYS
NO ONE WANT TO LIVE WITHIN A TOXIC ATOMASPHERE. (Indoor air polltion)
STUFFED TOYS AFFECT BOTH YOUR SMALL FAMILY AND OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE. (Combining outdoor pollution)
Description of the design process
7. Booklet:
• Showing the different materials of stuffed toys between past and nowadays.
• Point out what are the main toxic substances are contained in stuffed toys.
• The process of how indoor pollution affect children in the bedroom.
• Showing how does the outdoor enviroment is affected by the polluted water after wahsing stuffed toys.
• The consequences (Plants, wildlife and soil are damaged)
Billboard:
• Use a kid’s language to attract parents attention.
• A girl is angry with a stuffed bear and says “You hurt me, I don’t trust you anymore.“
STOP BUYING STUFFED TOYS. THEY ARE TOXIC.
8. • According to the target market, the 3 campains will be used in kindergardens and hospitals. Beacause the two places where are most
of the young parents often go to. They can get the booket as an educated book to pay more attention on why they need to stop buying
stuffed toys.
• The childish style fits the target market.
• A question and anwser way of the booklet shows a conmmunication between stuffed toys and parents.

10. WILL YOU TREASURE ME?
YES !! WE WILL.
Those smiling lumps of soft, whiskery fun known as "plush toys," "stuffed animals," or "cuddly
toys." But unfortunately, these are not the stuffed animals our grandparents loved.
11. TODAY
PAST
Though terms like "sustainability" and
"biodegradability" were not even in our
grandparents' lexicon, their stuffed animals
were made of all-natural materials. The
outsides were cotton, sheepskin, fur or felt, and
the insides anything from chopped-up rags to
wood shavings to kapok fiber. And when their
loving owners had outgrown them, these toys
obligingly turned to dust, or decomposed
organically back into the Earth. No harm, no
foul.
Today's plush toys, in contrast, break all the
rules about sustainability. Almost all are made
100% from polyester, which in turn comes
from non-biodegradable, unsustainable,
polluting oil. As with most elements of stuffed
animal production, synthetic fibers and
materials, such as polyfill, are increasingly
common in stuffing used for toys.

12. Indoor Air Pollution
Polyester (1953), "wrinkle free" fabrics developed from
xylene and ethylene.Polyester is the terminal product in a
chain of very reactive and toxic precursors. Most are
carcinogens; all are poisonous. And even if none of these
chemicals remain entrapped in the final polyester structure
(which they most likely do), the manufacturing process
requires workers and our environment to be exposed to some
or all of the chemicals shown in the flowchart above. There is
no doubt that the manufacture of polyester is an environmen-
tal and public health burdenthat we would be better off
without.
Polyester fabric is soft, smooth, supple – yet still a
plastic. It contributes to our body burden in ways that
we are just beginning to understand. And because
polyester is highly flammable, it is often treated with a
flame retardant, increasing the toxic load. So if you
think that youʼve lived this long being exposed to these
chemicals and havenʼt had a problem, remember that
the human body can only withstand so much toxic load -
and that the endocrine disrupting chemicals which donʼt
seem to bother you may be affecting generations to
come.
Did you know there are little
creatures that share your bed and
live on your stuffed animals - and
cause air pollution? They are tiny
dust mites, invisible to the human
eye. They like to eat dry flakes of
skin, and their waste affects indoor
air quality.
