This weekend at the Conflux festival, artist and technologist Natalie Jeremijenko will hold a workshop showing off a fish monitoring system that issues text-message status reports.
Natalie Jeremijenko's art strives to highlight environmental and scientific issues. Past works include robotic dogs that were hacked to sniff out ground pollutants, for example. In another project, Jeremijenko planted 100 pairs of trees, all cloned from a single plant, throughout San Francisco. It showed that while the trees were genetically identical they grew in unique patterns--thus highlighting the complex dance between nature and nurture.
This Saturday, during the Conflux Festival, she's offering a personal tour of her new work, Fish n' Microchips. At noon, anyone who wants can meet up with Jeremijenko at the Barney Building, on Nyu's campus, and from there, she'll guide the group to a spot in the east river, where the work's installed.
