The project challenges social media as a tool to establish a new relationship between human and nature within the context of Jakartain Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the most social media active countries with the government launchingthe campaign #wounderfulindonesia to captivate the imaginary of tourists, a phenomenon which has led to the creation of a new type of tourism centered around Instagrammable Attractions and Tours. The project exploits the social media "like" economy as a means to reforest the estuary and riverbanks with mangrove-plantations. Every 10 likes on a post with #wounderfulindonesia will equal one mangrove tree engaging both the ‘Post-er’to oversee the growth of the plant and the government to secure their well-being. The project challenges the acts of "Posting" and "Liking" beyond their potential of connect people but also as a tool re-connect with our environment and help in the battle to safeguard it.
The project was developed within the context of the Architectural Association School Of Architecture.
