Causeway: Reimagining the Edge by Dylan Gauthier

A crowdsourced augmented reality and public drawing project, Causeway: Reimaging the Edge interprets data from the NYC Comprehensive Waterfront Plan's public access implementation study, renderings of future and current building sites along the NYC waterfront, and historic hydrologic maps to invite the public to reimagine water access and care in their neighborhoods. Using a custom Instagram filter developed by the artist, the public will be invited to create photo renderings of future access points along the water. The project asks: how can various proposed solutions to rising sea level rise promote better access and environmental justice in the city? How can we reimagine our city’s edges to allow for additional access to water? What do we want our waterfront to look like in the future?
