Water Works: The Bay Area’s Summer Art and Water Festival
While some states are already starting to get cozy for cooler fall days, the folks up in Northern California will still be sitting pretty during September, which happens to be the Bay Area’s summer month! With warm and sunny days filling out their calendar, it’s only fitting that the community driven event, Water Works, has been scheduled to happen over September’s weekends. Starting this Saturday, local artist and designers will gather in an Oakland backyard to discuss water issues and show off some of their very own creations, including, as seen above, the Raintree by artist Christina Bertea, a rainwater collection tree that doubles as a clothesline in the summer. Read ahead to learn more about this fantastic event and to gander at a few more glorious projects!

We’re excited by the recent trend toward open-source design approaches, with Continuum’s Open for Branding project, Betacup on the Jovoto platform, and the recent announcement of Open IDEO.

This challenge is a great one for designers: using existing Sony technologies, either on their own or in unique combinations, how can we address key sustainability issues in new ways? Sony provides information about all their available tech, the WWF provides all the latest environmental facts and figures, and participants provide their fresh inventor minds. Casting a wide net, Sony is betting on the myriad of ideas that can come from a community of people both interested in environmental issues and capable of re-purposing anything from GPS units to dye-sensitized solar cells.

On August 5th, the Parsons DESIS Lab (of which I am a member) opened an exhibition at the Abrons Arts Center in the Lower East Side of New York City. The exhibition, running until September 15th, is part of the DESIS Lab’s Amplifying Creative Communities research project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation’s 2009 NYC Cultural Innovation Fund. (DESIS = Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability, an international network of researchers.)
What happens if design-based social innovation is not just a way of avoiding conventional, explicit politics, but a way of undermining politics altogether?
The exhibition is not a curation of findings at the end of the project, but a research tool in the middle of a project. It is one of a number of initiatives that are part of the Amplifying Creative Communities project to find examples of people who have taken it upon themselves to innovate new ways of resourcing their [...]
