Watermarks Project!

Posted by Fabrik | February 11, 2009

“Sea levels are rising due to climate change… but how much could they rise and how quickly? And how could this affect the city of Bristol?”

Watermarks Project is an art project that wants to speak to the world. Should be one of the most intelligent mediatic bomb i’ve seen in my life! So..Blogger..Now is your turn! God save the Queen! ;-)

Watermarks Project is running in Bristol from FRI 6th till today!

From the site

Watermarks is a public art project that will use a series of large-scale projections at sites across the centre of the city to explore the question releted to climate change.

Flood level marks will be projected on to the sides of buildings, showing how high water levels could potentially rise as the sea inundates the central, low lying areas of Bristol. By displaying these levels in real space, the project aims to help us to imagine the depth and extent of this potential future flooding - allowing us to measure them against ourselves in familiar environments.

The complexity and inherent uncertainty involved in predicting sea level rise means there is little consensus across the global scientific community as to how much sea levels could rise in the coming decades. The Watermarks project will use current UK government predictions for the next century to set key flood mark levels. The project, however, will also acknowledge uncertainty explore other scenarios.
