DESCRIPTION:Seaweed is a crucial part of the sea\, nourishing the water whi
	le also providing\na habitat for underwater life. When we think billions o
	f years back\, the sea was\nthe starting point of life on Earth. Early cel
	ls formed alliances with\nphotosynthesizing organisms that later became al
	gae. Without the evolution of\nalgae\, neither breathable air nor humans w
	ould exist.\nIn (s)kins of the sea\, Linda Zimmermann uses this allegory t
	o process algae into\na ceramic glaze\, a skin for ceramics. Together with
	 Limu Cosmetics\, she presents\nhow she weaved the material research into 
	her artistic practice. This research\nwas developed in collaboration with 
	Limu Cosmetics\, who are currently\nengineering a seaweed-based sunscreen 
	that not only protects human skin\, but\nalso remains non-toxic to marine 
	life\, allowing the material to serve both\npeople and the ecosystems it o
	riginates from. These material research projects\nare part of the STARTS E
	U initiative\, which aims to connect science\, art\, and\ntechnology.
