Art and Technology Los Angeles Museum of Contempory Art, LA USA Figure E: Four co-joined 10 foot by 20 foot ponds, seeded with algae Dunaliella make a changing colour field as the algae develop carotene in response to increasing salinity pond by pond. Figure F: Brine shrimp eggs are added and after 30 days are harvested and re-harvested every 30 days thereafter. Figure G: Brine Shrimp ready for harvest. Figure H: The ponds become far more salty. The right pond turns white as the water completely evaporates. Figure I: Salt is harvested.

Figure J: The Force Majeure: Peninsula Europe Part III: Where a new complex forest ensemble is composed by using paleo-ecological research methodologies to rehabit the lands as far as possible, where snow and glacial melt formerly supplied the rivers with consistent flow. The ecological design will seek to create a sponge phenomenon, which would replace, in some measure, the original glacial melt, reducing the effects of flood and drought. Figure K: The Force Majeure: Tibet is the High Ground Part III: Acknowledges that glacial melt, vastly accelerated by Global Warming, is putting the 7 great rivers that flow through the continent at risk for flood and drought. This work proposes, through an elaborate process of paleo-ecological research, to slowly replace the 2.4 million square kilometer plateau with a vast, water-holding, bio-diverse grassland/ open-canopy forest ecosystem. The potential for carbon sequestration suggests that 6 gigatons of carbon can be sequestered per decade.

Figure B: The Tetra becomes an Atmospheric Chamber: A researcher and a learner measure the water quality and carbon levels in the atmosphere. Sequence Two The Carbon Cycle: Photosynthesis and Climate History Figure C: A small Tetra is constructed by a fabricator to enter the leaf of plant as Carbon Dioxide. The slow process of Photosynthesis into Oxygen can be witnessed by the audience. Figure D: In a Tetra close to the leaf surface, a researcher and a fabricator talk about how the insect life and forest growth have been affected by climate change over time.

Figure F: The Tetra is sucked down into the lungs while chasing the O2 molecule and it enters into blood stream though the alveoli. The learner asks the audience to all breathe out loudly. Sequence Four The Energy Cycle: The Sharing of Electrons Figure G: Tetras behave like electrons travelling through an electric wire. Discussions occur about these processes. Figure H: Hundreds of Tetras join together as a metaphor for our homes in sustainable cities, where alternative energy is shared between citizens.
