Content: 4. Amanda Schachter and Alexander Levi’s Harvest Dome
Architects Amanda Schachter and Alexander Levi ‘s massive “ Harvest Dome 2.0 ,” assembled from 450 umbrellas and 128 bottles, once floated around the inlet of Inwood Hill Park in New York City. Deemed a piece of “performance architecture,” the 24 by 18-foot structure further proves the world’s garbage can we reused in many unexpected ways. 5. John Sabraw’s Toxic Sludge Paintings
Using toxic runoff found in the Ohio River region, artist and professor John Sabraw produces his own DIY pigments — bold yellows and reds that are sourced from the oxidized sludge of abandoned coal mines. Rather than using imported iron oxide from China to make his paint colors, he taps into the water’s heavy metals left over from abandoned coal mines, bringing to light the region’s pollution problem in the process. “ The artist, like the scientist, has a crucial role to perform in our society ,” Sabraw explained to HuffPost. “ See things differently, act on this vision, report the failures and successes.” 6. Naziha Mestaoui’s Virtual Forests
Naziha Mestaoui ‘s “One Beat One Tree” projects virtual forests onto city spaces, blurring the boundaries between the natural world and advancing technology.
