Visit www.watermarkseattle.org for the official project website and complete description of this ever evolving project with various contributors including Nicole Kistler, Sarah Kavage, Vaughn Bell, Brennon Staley and many, many participants. Watermark combines scientific research, mapping, photo simulations, performance art, and gallery shows to bring greater understanding of climate change issues to the public. Below are some examples of our photo simulations by Nicole Kistler and photos of some performances by Robert Zverina.
