Encounter At Farpoint
2022
Participatory Performance, Silkscreen
This ongoing participatory artwork invited the public to imagine future relationships to flooding and water. Participants engaged in a process to imagine new modes of co-habitating with water in New York City, and inscribed their ideas onto to blank front pages of the New York Times as future headlines, feature images and/or image captions. This performance was invited by The Old Stone House in Brooklyn, a historic Brooklyn site and epicenter of recurring flooding in the Gowanus neighborhood. It was also Invited by organizers of the Sandy+10 conference at Columbia in fall 2022, marking and reflecting on Superstorm Sandy and its impacts at policy, community, and individual levels.
As high-rises become increasingly expensive, low-rises come back in fashion: low-rise undersea buildings.
