Waterways researched the city’s circulatory system as one both human and ecological—
physicalized with water systems and cycles plotted daily by the city’s inhabitants. The collaborators enacted several public actions including bike tours, choreographed ferry rides, and chemistry experiments along the Brooklyn Waterfront.
The League of Imaginary Scientists
The League of Imaginary Scientists is a group of artists and scientists who engineer hybrid art works in the cross-section of their worlds, in collaboration with local communities. In pairing science and art, the League seeks to formulate new methods for data expression, embodied in playful interactions that produce physical artifacts and scientific residues. The League’s process is interdisciplinary, drawing on collaborators ranging from natural history museum curators to genomic scientists. Each imaginary science experiment brings together a new group of creative researchers, rallied by media artist Lucy Hg. Lucy Hg has collaborated with Waterways collaborator E.K.K.O and with Emma Nordanfors in particular on past international projects. The League has exhibited interactive art works globally. A complete listing of the League’s experiments is online. http://www.imaginaryscience.org
