The FO-Marsh is an aquatic
infrastructure that will resurrect urban salt marshes and
translate ecology into art as a night-time spectacle. It is a synthetic
structure made of bundles of fiber optic cables allowing it to
kick-start the regrowth of a natural marsh by providing the structure
for sediment accretion, refuge for living organisms, and fostering of
marine food webs. Anchored to the riverbed and intermixed with salt
marsh grasses, it will sway with tidal flux to create a pixilated
grassland in the water that is sublimely attractive to people.
Integrated into the lighting component, will be mechanisms for
translating information about water quality, habitat growth, and tidal
fluctuation to the public. As the development of FO-Marsh is taken from
the conceptual stage into product development, a new collaboration
formed between myself and a coastal marine ecologist, Keryn Bromberg
Gedan. This partnership is a marriage of art and ecology, and ultimately
seeks to provoke a lively conversation about the degraded nature of our
waterways.
