Check out the Plastic Wave sculpture innovated by surfer and activist Kathleen Egan from San Francisco! An interactive multi-sensory art project like this is phenomenal not just for its creativity, but for its purpose, as it seeks to mentally connect people to the issues behind the art through physical connection. This wave probably can't physically travel very far (although it will be on display in a few spots), but it would be really cool if people all over were somehow able to ride the plastic wave. We are interested to hear/see how other activists pick this ball up and run with it.
