Starting at the shipping container housing the live video feed and data visualization of HARVEST’s mining rig, Julian Oliver, facilitated by Musket Transport, will lead the group through the shipping yard to the adjacent field where the rig is located. At the foot of the 2kW wind turbines, Oliver will discuss how he directs the turbines’ clean power into mining cryptocurrency to support climate change research and awareness. Acting as a fully functional prototype beyond a media-art context, Oliver envisages hundreds of such HARVEST nodes could be deployed in the windiest parts of the world, together generating large sums of supplementary funding for climate-change NGOs in a time where climate science itself is under siege from the fossil-fuelled interests of governments and corporations. Oliver will address how the financials generated by HARVEST introduce the prospect of economies of scale and reveal the volatility of markets.
