Different types of wetsuit are made for different uses and for different temperatures.[2] Suits range from a thin (2 mm or less) "shortie", covering just the torso, to a full 8 mm semi-dry, usually complemented by neoprene boots, gloves and hood.
Wetsuits
A wetsuit is a garment, usually made of foamed neoprene, which is worn by surfers, divers, windsurfers, canoeist, and others engaged in water sports, providing thermal insulation, abrasion resistance and buoyancy. The insulation properties depend on bubbles of gas enclosed within the material, which reduce its ability to conduct heat. The bubbles also give the wetsuit a low density, providing buoyancy in water.
Neoprene or polychloroprene is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene. Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. Neoprene is sold either as solid rubber or in latex form, and is used in a wide variety of applications, such as laptop sleeves, orthopedic braces, electrical insulation, liquid and sheet applied elastomeric membranes or flashings, and automotive fan belts.

Back of the origin of Polytheism, people did not have enough resources and knowledge to understand the natural phenomena around them. The Ancient people make guesses on the things them can not understand and imagine there's a absolute power behind their life. They believe the gods and goddesses create the world and cause these natural phenomena.

After researching Neoprene aswell as other petrol derivated plastics and textiles we focused on their detrimentality for the environment, we decided to use video art and intallation to express our thoughts on the subject. This installation would show different form of video art all linking towards the same message. One of the video would show the offering of a neoprene package to the Earth as a representation of the soul/spirit/god of nature. The act of offering would symbolized metaphorically the impact of humans on nature. Because after the human civilization goes extinct, plastic will be the only thing left of us. It is therefore both cynical and paradoxal because the "offering" humans are giving to Nature is what will destroy them ultimately as the making of neoprene and other plastics is causing pollution and global warming damaging the Earth and leadind to the extinction of humanity. We decided to look more into installation and its different forms to see how we could present the videos.

In this project we want to get a public response, the audience is involved, taking part in the installation project. The reason that participation needed is religion based on human activities and civilizations。Like in polytheist religions where all the believers take part in ceremony, it is a public event where everyone is involved. In order to get wider ideas, we research action art and audience participation.
