A curated online exhibition was held on Waterwheel with 2 panels on the Tap on 29-30 March 2015. Documentation here.

168 contributions were uploaded by 85 participants. The media was then divided between 10 international guests, who then selected three that spoke strongly to them. Two panels were held on the Tap, in which the selected contributions were presented and discussed. The artistic calibre and level of environmental concern impressed the panelists.
