The Dynamo Island Foundation
Dynamo Island is the result of a collaboration between four European eco-enthusiasts based in Ireland. Its aim is to explore ideas on ecological balance, social harmony, political transparency and environmental design. Specialists in website creation, graphic design, interactive video game theory and cultural studies, the team seeks to initiate a constructive dialogue with site visitors in which major issues of the 21st century culture and civilisation can be explored.
