Some of it includes plastic of many colors, primarily polyethylene. Like upcycler Denton Plastics, the Hackers shred the plastic, mix the colors and melt it back together. They were part of a beach cleanup mobile-making group project doing that at this year's Spaceness.
There is also a show by Collin Richard - re:Presence. August 3, the Hackers have a lecture and participatory workshop on the plastic process.
