In the constructed world, how do we understand raw materials? This center empowers both a retrospective and futuristic view on our relationship to natural resources. We envision an alternate story where these resources are self determining,commanding their own origin stories, value, and trajectory of use. We give voice to the voiceless by creating direct and intimate interfaces with these resources, shifting the nature-culture dialogue. https://c4pm.org/Event Sun, 16 May 2021 06:50:51 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Event <img width="3301" height="5100" width_o="3301" height_o="5100" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21d1943b5c5a6f166a67daa344bfba9e64453e477771478d09bdf155b31e48ef/Posters-Recovered-04.png" data-mid="108670201" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21d1943b5c5a6f166a67daa344bfba9e64453e477771478d09bdf155b31e48ef/Posters-Recovered-04.png" /> <img width="793" height="1224" width_o="793" height_o="1224" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a34aeedf11ff24ca058a67a0f09ae4f069f9cb110569a0f9c586d5607a54861/Posters-05-05.jpg" data-mid="108575285" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/793/i/2a34aeedf11ff24ca058a67a0f09ae4f069f9cb110569a0f9c586d5607a54861/Posters-05-05.jpg" /> Download the e-pamphlet https://c4pm.org/Welcome Sun, 16 May 2021 05:16:33 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Welcome NEWEST MEMBER WHO JUST JOINED US: No.79 ︎︎︎ Gold(Au)Soon It will be featured on our limited podcast series. Gold has been known since prehistoric times and was one of the first metals to be worked, mainly because it was to be found as nuggets or as particles in the beds of streams. Such was the demand that by 2000 BC the Egyptians began mining gold. The death mask of Tutankhamen, who died in 1323 BC, contained 100 kg of the metal. The royal graves of ancient Ur (modern Iraq), which flourished from 3800 to 2000 BC, also contained gold objects. UPCOMING GUEST SPEAKERS: Carbon SPEAKS 21-22 MAY Nickle SPEAKS. Iron SPEAKS.

I was observed to give an intense crimson flame when thrown onto a fire. In 1817, Johan August Arfvedson of Stockholm analysed it and deduced I contained a previously unknown metal, which he called lithium. He realised I am a new alkali metal and a lighter version of sodium.” https://c4pm.org/Copper-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 15:01:30 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Copper-Speaks <img width="5001" height="5001" width_o="5001" height_o="5001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3fff1b7e3f2c7a147310878d33eb7571f7472ef3df6ee6d9743a4f80ca0122ec/29-04.png" data-mid="108598799" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3fff1b7e3f2c7a147310878d33eb7571f7472ef3df6ee6d9743a4f80ca0122ec/29-04.png" /> “I was ‘born’ over 10,000 years ago from ores and has been a loyal friend of humans for at least 8,000 years in different states. I exist in the liver, brain, heart, kidneys and skeletal muscles of human bodies but you’ve probably never had a chance to meet me face to face. Besides that, you can also see me in electrical wire, cooking pots and pans, pipes and tubes, automobile radiators, and many others.” https://c4pm.org/Sodium-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 07:13:40 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Sodium-Speaks <img width="1201" height="1201" width_o="1201" height_o="1201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ebe97ee5858f9af1eb4444d2ce1d01efec6c0ddfad7b29dab2b97ce86092363/sodium-11.png" data-mid="108575569" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ebe97ee5858f9af1eb4444d2ce1d01efec6c0ddfad7b29dab2b97ce86092363/sodium-11.png" /> “I am known as Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3). Salt came from seawater, while soda came from the Natron Valley in Egypt or from the ash of certain plants. Their composition was debated by early chemists and the solution finally came from the Royal Institution in London in October 1807 where Humphry Davy exposed caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) to an electric current and obtained globules of sodium metal, just as he had previously done for potassium, although he needed to use a stronger current.” https://c4pm.org/Neon-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 07:08:51 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Neon-Speaks <img width="1201" height="1201" width_o="1201" height_o="1201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2648f5144a152291d281aec2b67207193af886f3ac49c194533c6053d6d811e4/neon-10.png" data-mid="108575514" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2648f5144a152291d281aec2b67207193af886f3ac49c194533c6053d6d811e4/neon-10.png" /> “I could be the most captivating element of the periodic table. I am the gas that can give you your name or any word you like, in fact, in light. I was filled the first illuminated science, which was produced almost a Century ago and since then, it has infiltrated language and culture. The word conjures up images of colourful or sometimes rather seedy, glowing science, many of which now don't contain the gas itself. Only the red glow is pure neon, almost every other colour is now produced using argon, mercury and phosphorus in varying proportions, which gives more than a 150 possible colours. Nevertheless, I am now a generic name for all the glowing tubes that allow advertisers and even many artists to draw and write with light and it was that glow that gave its presence away for the first time.” https://c4pm.org/Magnesium-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 15:57:16 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Magnesium-Speaks <img width="5001" height="5001" width_o="5001" height_o="5001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0bc33c0a149d6eb8cda0ad8aa7e32523c03cf9384bcf0154939fecbbbc30e33/mag-15.png" data-mid="108674429" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e0bc33c0a149d6eb8cda0ad8aa7e32523c03cf9384bcf0154939fecbbbc30e33/mag-15.png" /> “I am one-third less dense than aluminium. I am used for improving the mechanical, fabrication and welding characteristics of aluminium when used as an alloying agent. These alloys are useful in aeroplane and car construction. I am used in products that benefit from being lightweight, such as car seats, luggage, laptops, cameras and power tools. It is also added to molten iron and steel to remove sulfur. As I am ignite easily in air and burns with a bright light, it’s used in flares, fireworks and sparklers.” https://c4pm.org/Aluminum-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 15:57:43 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Aluminum-Speaks <img width="1201" height="1201" width_o="1201" height_o="1201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe81992f7f602ca1cba759bea58f31491d47a69bcad75277b9e81c1ceb11bbb2/aluminum-05.png" data-mid="108603379" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe81992f7f602ca1cba759bea58f31491d47a69bcad75277b9e81c1ceb11bbb2/aluminum-05.png" /> “Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and aeroplane parts. This is because of its particular properties. It has low density, is non-toxic, has a high thermal conductivity, has excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily cast, machined and formed. It is also non-magnetic and non-sparking. It is the second most malleable metal and the sixth most ductile.It is often used as an alloy because aluminium itself is not particularly strong. Alloys with copper, manganese, magnesium and silicon are lightweight but strong. They are very important in the construction of aeroplanes and other forms of transport.” https://c4pm.org/Calcium-Speaks Sun, 16 May 2021 15:59:43 +0000 c4pm https://c4pm.org/Calcium-Speaks <img width="5001" height="5001" width_o="5001" height_o="5001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e03bcc8c90765cc2687f941e27b7c8cdd6101df3ee443154e1cf7e1f0e1bc0fd/Calcium-13.png" data-mid="108673373" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e03bcc8c90765cc2687f941e27b7c8cdd6101df3ee443154e1cf7e1f0e1bc0fd/Calcium-13.png" /> “I am used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium and uranium. It is also used as an alloying agent for aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead and magnesium alloys.I am widely used. There are vast deposits of limestone (calcium carbonate) used directly as a building stone and indirectly for cement. When limestone is heated in kilns it gives off carbon dioxide gas leaving behind quicklime (calcium oxide).&nbsp;
