Artist and photographer Ernest Goh is the founder of Ayer Ayer, an ecologically-engaged art project that reaches out to communities through visual, experiential, and participatory artworks in art and science. In 2019, Ayer Ayer's focus on ocean plastic pollution in the regional waterways of Southeast Asia led to the creation of public art, research, and education projects that reached several public and private organizations. The group's efforts in design and engineering have developed methods in upcycling plastic waste into artworks and products.
Ernest's work has been commissioned by and installed at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum in Singapore, collected by the Multimedia Art Museum Moscow, and also resides in corporate, public, and private collections.
