Description originale

Inspired by issues relating to climate change, DUMBO Underwater imagines what it might feel like if sea levels rose to the point where parts of New York City found themselves underwater. Most scientists agree that sea levels are rising and that coastal cities, such as Brooklyn, are at risk for flooding. This being the case, it is worth considering the possibility that New York City, or some of its parts, may one day be underwater. This site-specific video installation uses the idea of the East River overflowing in DUMBOOpens in new window to transform this possibility into an experience.

DUMBO Underwater is part of the DUMBO Arts FestivalOpens in new window which takes place in DUMBO, Brooklyn, September 24 – 26, 2010. It will be available from sundown to sunrise at 81 Front StreetOpens in new window until October 13, 2010. It is roughly 80′ x 9′ and runs 50′ on loop. DUMBO Underwater is a sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts.
