Future Climate Souvenirs creates engaging artifacts that provoke awareness and discussion of the climate crisis through humor and speculation rather than doomsday scenarios. In this series, Chicagoans imagine how they might adapt their infrastructure and create new nature reserves, regenerative schemes and eco-tourist sites in response to predicted atmospheric changes and ecological impacts.
Bioluminescent Boulevards
Take a stroll down Chicago’s Bioluminescent Boulevards
Chicagoan’s have led the world in building innovation since inventing the skyscraper in the late 1800s. Continuing this eminence, the city is now using bioluminescent marine bacteria to illuminate its historic boulevards without burning fossil fuels. The light emitted by the bacteria is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside the organism. Each luminous tube lining the boulevards is a self-contained aquarium filled with saltwater, where the bacteria are cultivated with nutrients, and oxygen is circulated. Stroll down the newly pedestrianized boulevards and envelope yourself in the magical ethereal glow this phenomenon of nature.
