Blue Algae is an interactive, abstract representation of human introduced impacts on the Everglades ecosystem. Your body movement forms toxic blue algae on a simulated water surface. The more you interact with it, the more algae is formed; touching on the current issues that humans are introducing toxic elements into the Florida water supply. Depth sensors track your movement, so just move your body to interact with the piece.
