super excited about this one:
"The future of water is the subject of tension. Water is both disposable and sacred, a muse for artists and a necessity for life – a source of healing and of conflict. The Earth has abundant water, but only a very small proportion is available for human use. How should this be managed and sustained, and what would a water-scarce future look like?"
EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS
Among the many water-themed exhibits, events, workshops, and interactive experience, exhibition highlights include:
- An open source prototype for a robotic swarming, sailing ship that could clean up oil spills in the future
- Umbilical filters, artificial insemination kits and precocious puberty dolls, all responding to rising levels of chemicals and hormones in our drinking water
- A water pump that requires the same amount of energy to fill a plastic bottle as would go into producing it—approximately 3 hours of pumping per liter; 1,000 times more energy than would be required for tap water
- Water themed films screening in the Eyebeam Project Space
see you WEDNESDAY!
