Concept
Working for a tech company in the Silicon Valley this past summer, I was struck by the irony of how we all tended to eat organic and drive electric cars and make other environmentally conscious decisions, while simultaneously designing products that depend on mass production, mining rare earth metals, and other destructive practices.
As ocean temperatures rise, jellyfish find themselves in a particularly advantageous position. Populations that used to die off in the winter now thrive all year long, and numbers are booming. Jellyfish blooms are disrupting entire food chains, consequently starving larger species, and even becoming physical problems in manmade structures, from boats to nuclear power plants. The absolute reign of jellyfish over the worlds' oceans is becoming less and less far fetched.
Can we reconcile our trendy tech hardware to a gelatinous future? Ten rings explore the possible transition into this apocalyptic, for-now fiction. 2014
