Microcosmic Aquaculture
By Bittertang (Antonio Torres And Michael Loverich)
We imagine a future where the vast and deep expanses of the ocean will teem with overabundant floating gelatinous reefs. Humans will be nourished physically and aesthetically be encouraging new floating worlds of reefs that sustain large quantities of harvestable wild and captive fish. Farming in this project is not viewed as a monoculture but the creation of a new ecology where wild and captive wildlife are ’raised’ and their aesthetic potential is enjoyed by future divers and fisherman.
From Bittertang, Antonio Torres currently tastes new flavors and Michael Loverich explores frothiness in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Right, floating reefs, who knew? This feels a bit Jules Verne meets sustainable seafood. Bushwick frothiness, now that's a phrase. Creating a whole new ecosystem sounds ambitious, but hey, why not? Reminds me of the time I tried to build a self-sustaining terrarium, complete with tiny fish. Didn't quite become a thriving biosphere, the whole thing turned into a slimy mess, a testament to my overzealousness, but I did learn a thing or two about balance, just like in Slope Game I guess.
