Sea-Level Projections

Climate change could raise the global sea-level by 20 ft. in the next 180 years (The New York Times, "What Could Disappear" 04/24/2016). RISDs Fleet Library building ("15 West") is 9.8 above sea-level.

Sea-Level Projections is a proposed projection mapping installation, casting the expected sea-level rise on to historic buildings in Providence, RI. The locations are buildings with historic flood markers, indicating the extent of disasters past. Sea-Level Projections indicates the extent of disasters yet to come.
