Electronics pollution intensifies environmental colonialism. "The Sweeeet Side" uses human-bacteria synergy, turning copper waste into confectionery via bioleaching. Promoting e-waste recycling as a new currency, it bridges metal flows and future food chains. Liv Tsim presents a solution addressing e-waste through an innovative food approach, urging an eco-friendly shift.

In a world where electronics govern daily life and their chemical aftermath exacerbates environmental colonialism, the project "The Sweeeet Side" offers a groundbreaking collaboration between humans and the bacterium Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans. This inventive endeavour spearheaded by artist Liv Tsim merges the realms of Bioleaching and culinary arts, transforming pure copper waste into delightful confectioneries.
By promoting the idea of recycling e-waste as an innovative currency, Tsim envisions a symbiotic relationship between metal material flows and future food chains, paving the way for a sustainable ecosystem. Through this project, viewers are invited to witness a transformative process, savour its sweet outcomes, and recognize recycling as more than just a method of handling industrial detritus.
As Tsim embarks on this profound journey of redefining food sources and addressing the escalating concern of E-waste, she reminds society that envisioning a greener future might just start with a single, sweet step.
在一個電子產品主宰日常生活，而其化學後果加劇環境殖民主義的世界中，「The Sweeeet Side」 計畫提供了人與細菌 Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans 之間的開創性合作。 在這項創新的努力中，藝術家 Liv Tsim 合併了生物浸出和烹飪藝術的領域，將純銅廢料轉化為美味的糖果。
透過推廣將電子廢棄物回收作為創新貨幣的觀念，Tsim 設想了金屬材料流和未來食物鏈之間的共生關係，為永續的生態系統鋪平了道路。 透過這個項目，觀眾被邀請見證一個變革性的過程，品味其甜蜜的成果，並認識到回收不僅僅是處理工業殘渣的一種方法。
當 Tsim 開始這一深遠的旅程，重新定義食物來源並解決 E-waste 的日益加劇的關注時，她提醒社會，設想一個更綠色的未來可能只從一個甜蜜的步驟開始。

Based in Hong Kong and London, Tsim has pursued her BA in Fine Arts at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, and her MA in Biodesign at Central Saint Martins. With exhibitions spanning cities like London, Hong Kong, Berlin, and Sydney, her work delves deeply into exploring biotic material interactions, bioethics, and environmental justice.
She consistently probes the human role in addressing potential multi-species conflicts within ecosystems, especially given the Anthropocene's degradation of nature. Through kinetic installations, biomaterial sculptures, and immersive performances, Tsim encourages audience participation, often collaborating with diverse professionals to push artistic boundaries.
在香港和倫敦都有基地的Tsim，在香港浸會大學視覺藝術學院完成了她的美術學士學位，並在中央聖馬丁學院獲得生物設計碩士學位。 她的作品在倫敦、香港、柏林和雪梨等城市展出，深入探討生物材料互動、生物倫理和環境正義。
她始終探討人類在解決生態系統內多物種衝突中的角色，尤其是在人類紀對自然的破壞中。 透過動力裝置、生物材料雕塑和沈浸式表演，Tsim鼓勵觀眾參與，並經常與不同的專業人士合作，以推動藝術的界限。
