After a busy summer and already a productive fall, I finally posted the sea level rise videos from the Shoreline Dimensions installation at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts Creative Code Showcase, August, 26 2015. "Deep Past" and "Near Future" videos were part of a three-piece interactive installation that takes viewers on a journey through 18,100 years of sea level rise that shapes the San Francisco Bay Area shoreline in a kind of dance through time.
Developed over the summer during the Gray Area Creative Code Fellowship, the installation evolved to become part of the Changing Shorelines visualization at the Exploratorium (currently on view). Both projects incorporate scientific data from regional conservation and development organizations as well as federal agencies and climate change/sea level rise experts. I worked with QGIS, ArcGIS and Mapbox Studio to integrate the geospatial data and Javascript, NodeJS, MAX, JQuery, and Arduino to bring it to life in the gallery. Thanks to everyone at Gray Area, Stamen Design, and the Exploratorium who showed me different ways of thinking about sea level rise and who made this project happen on so many levels!
