2006.Liberty

synopsis

The Liberty project is provocative. The utopian idea to install a giant wind turbine from the raised arm of the Statue of Liberty analyses various forms of wind-producing technology to give the island its liberty, by being truly self-sufficient and free!
Between fiction and reality, the project can work using the resistance of the metal structure made by Gustave Eiffel. The statue must be able to support a wind turbine of 50 metres in diameter.
The project includes 10 prints, limited editions of 15 pieces, with blue prints of the technical structure and analysis. We are currently looking for a gallery to present the exhibition.

Team: Linda Barsotti, James Ennis.
