2018 // The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom
In Jules Verne’s “In Search of the Castaways”, the leading metaphorical character is water. This medium is the provider of the journey; it is also the concealer or revealer of the information that the wanderers sought throughout their journey across the world. Water is the interface of the interaction with their environment and the common ground that drove the group’s actions. Today, water as human territory is in itself a myth yet to be consumed. Throughout history, it was often seen as the unknown, because apart from industrial purposes, human economy is only based on procuring land surface. Utopia is the realisation that water (not only land) constitutes inhabitable territory, that water has different states and potentials and that it can produce different spatial conditions. The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom is a project showing a model of embracing ocean level rise and consequently taking up life on water.
