ART OF THE VILLAGE
Land-to-Lake Climate Art Installation
Presented by Tahoe Public Art
A custom designed 3D augmented reality art experience with data-driven storytelling that takes visitors on a journey through the impacts of climate change on the ecological biodiversity of the Lake Tahoe Basin as well as an activation component that connects audiences to solutions.
Gilles Cenazandotti Environmental Art Exhibition
Presented by Contessa Gallery in collaboration with Tahoe Public Art
Visitors will encounter a series of endangered species, sculpted by world-renowned artist and activist Gilles Cenazandotti, constructed of discarded objects harvested from Mediterranean beaches (including petroleum, oil and plastic based products destroying natural habitats).
Anthropocene
Presented by 5 Gyres
This participatory metal sculpture is about microplastic pollution that flows from our seas into us. There are four bicycle generators that power LED lights and water pumps that push microplastic-laden water through the body of DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man.
JUNKraft
Presented by 5 Gyres
This exhibit, titled “Junk and Gyre” is a traveling show that just came offline from the Cleveland Aquarium. The center of the exhibit is the JUNK raft, which is a raft made from 15,000 plastic bottles that floated an airplane from Los Angeles to Hawaii in 88 days back in 2008. The entire exhibit tells the story of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and what must happen to solve the problem.
