I am particularly interested in generating awareness about how we impact our environment so that we may do so in a way that is mindful of future human generations as we as other species we co-evolved with to share the planet. \nThe Panama Canal offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the power of our ideas and the force of our actions (connecting two oceans) — including the unintended consequences.   I would like for our students\, particularly our engineering students\, to focus on how we have used machines to reshape our peninsula.  How we have redefined our waters edge: as mangroves give way to sea walls\, as dredging creates new ports\, as wetlands are drained\, how mining creates square lakes\, how water is moved and channeled and controlled– as be have plumbed our state and crossed it with pipes\, tubes canals that manage water flow. \nStudents will post their exploration online on the CREATIVE B’s MOVING WATER BLOG: . \nMoving Water aims to allow the viewer to reflect on this critical resource — and how their collective and individual actions/inaction can have dire consequences for our state. \n<iframe src=”//player.vimeo.com/video/101035260″ width=”500″ height=”281″ frameborder=”0″ webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href=”http://vimeo.com/101035260″>Xavier Cortada July 9\, 2014 Lecture</a> from <a href=”http://vimeo.com/ufcota”>UF College of the Arts</a> on <a href=”https://vimeo.com”>Vimeo</a>.</p>
