SUMMARY:Aqua Cosmos: The Hudson Canyon Projection - September 26
DESCRIPTION:An immersive video art projection on the Brooklyn Bridge\nIn collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society and presented through the New York City Department of Transportation’s art program, internationally recognized multimedia artist Anita Glesta, will premiere AQUA COSMOS: The Hudson Canyon, a monumental 18-minute immersive projection that will transform the Brooklyn Bridge into a gateway to one of the world’s most extraordinary marine environment on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, from 7pm to 10pm each evening.\nThis is a free public walk-up event. Viewers can gather in Emily Warren Roebling Plaza, Brooklyn Bridge Park.\nJust 100 miles off the coast of New York City lies the Hudson Canyon, the largest submarine canyon along the Atlantic Coast. Comparable in scale to the Grand Canyon, it is home to an extraordinary diversity of marine life, including whales, sea turtles, sharks, tuna, cold-water corals, and species that support local fisheries.\nAQUA COSMOS: The Hudson Canyon commemorates the 101st anniversary of the 1925 Arcturus Expedition, one of the first scientific explorations of the canyon. Before deep-sea photography was possible, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s pioneering Department of Tropical Research documented this hidden world through striking illustrations. Those archival works, preserved at the WCS Archives, are paired with new NOAA deep-sea footage as well as humpback, fin, and North Atlantic right whale vocalizations collected by WCS’s New York Bight team, inspiring artist Glesta’s immersive 18-minute film that weaves together art, science, and over a century of ocean discovery.\nThe installation celebrates one of the Atlantic’s most remarkable underwater ecosystems while highlighting WCS’s longstanding leadership in protecting the Hudson Canyon. Since nominating the area for National Marine Sanctuary status in 2016, WCS has helped lead a coalition supporting NOAA’s ongoing designation process for the first National Marine Sanctuary off the coasts of New York and New Jersey.
