Ocean Prototype Nights: Canoes, Conservation, and Computation

Ocean Prototype Nights:

Six live-streamed evening dialogs twice a quarter from Oct. through Jun. around the Ocean Art + Science: Navigating the Pacific Project, a dozen 3-year artist-scientist-scholar collaborations in oceanographic and Indigenous ocean art and science culminating, in 2024, in rolling exhibitions at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps and the Geisel Library.

These dialogs are "prototypes" in the sense that they show research in progress. Canoes, Conservation, and Computation, our second episode, features dialogs, demos, and display live from the opening of the Design and Innovation Building at UC San Diego.

These projects respond to the pressing social, economic, and environmental concerns of coastal California Native and Pacific Island Indigenous communities in diaspora through the canoe as a vessel for countering cultural loss and creating community.

Ocean Prototype episodes are produced by Paolo Zuniga and directed by Lisa Cartwright, Nan Renner, and Joe Riley with support from Jessica Ashook, Johnnie Chatman, Mingyong Cheng, Clarissa Chevalier, and Heige Kim for the UC San Diego Department of Visual Arts and Institute of Arts and Humanities, the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Getty Pacific Standard Time.
