Operating on a sailboat, they rely on solar energy to power their workstations. Sailing to far away places, they often come into situations where bandwidth is an issue. Visiting image-heavy websites is costly, and sometimes impossible. A website can be made to load faster by optimising its images for the web. It is an extra step that is worth taking because it ensures greater access for everyone.

Green Hacks is a series of artist-made how-to videos unpacking practical tips to educate, inform and inspire their community. From non-toxic analogue development techniques, to DIY lens upcycling, to lengthening camera lifespans through alternative software, each short video offers a creative but concrete step, demonstrating how to produce/show/think about and make art in more sustainable ways. Small actions with significant impacts.
