Oceanic Scales: Art & Science Community Platform (2014-17)

Visitors to Oceanic Scales explore their role in maintaining a stable ocean ecology through a multi-sensory, interactive art & science puzzle inspired by the microorganisms of the sea. The hope is to encourage change toward sustainable living practices and social change by engaging the public to reflect on and perhaps better understand how we impact the environment at local and global scales. Light, scent, sound and touch will inspire new ways of thinking about ocean health.

Co-created with artist Gene A. Felice II with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and support from the Blue Trail: Imagination and Innovation for Ocean Sustainability with OpenLab Collaborative Research Center at UCSC and the Coaction Lab at the University of Maine.
