\"Journey<\/a><\/p>\n

When: <\/em>This Tuesday October 23rd from 7:30pm to 8pm followed by a pub crawl.
\nWhere:<\/em> Shipping container at the Columbus Circle grove of trees (map link here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

You are invited to a lecture performance featuring a ceremony of transformation. Journey<\/em> is a public art installation in downtown Syracuse. The centerpiece and entry point of the installation is Toiletponics. The chief nutrient source for the food-producing ecosystem is a tilapia fish who’s excrement is recirculated as fertilizer for the vegetables. The fish is named Beefadou and he is ready to retire. Please come to see a short lecture performance by the artist to celebrate the closing of the installation and witness Beefadou’s actual retirement live. A pub crawl through downtown will follow.<\/p>\n

Come to commemorate broken and reinvented models of existence, transmutation of waste into value, and ecopoetry. Witness the remarkable story of an artist’s quest to aesthetically package the Nitrogen cycle and one fish’s transformation from lab rat, to livestock, and finally to a pet. The installation will continue to operate until October 27th using another experimental nutrient source.<\/p>\n
