CHAPTER I
BEHOLD THE OCEAN
**All pieces are available on https://beholdtheocean.com/**
PATAGONIA HAS THE THIRD LARGEST ICE RESERVES IN THE WORLD.
THIS ECOSYSTEM IS BEING DISRUPTED:
OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, GLOBAL WARMING, RETREATING GLACIERS.
I PRODUCED BEHOLD THE OCEAN IN CHILE IN DECEMBER 2020, DURING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC WHEN GOVERNMENTAL MEASUREMENTS SEVERELY AFFECTED ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH. THE PROJECT DOCUMENTS A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO THE SOUTHERNMOST OF PATAGONIA IN GLOBALLY TURBULENT TIMES AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DURING THAT PERIOD.
I AM USING THE WORK TO MAP OUR RAPIDLY CHANGING NATURE TO THE BLOCKCHAIN AS AN ACT OF FUTURE-PROOF PRESERVATION. WITH THE PROCEEDS, FRIEND AND MARINE BIOLOGIST MAX VERGARA AND I PUT TOGETHER AND FUND A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO CAPE HORN IN 2022. WHEN WE RETURN, WE’LL PUBLISH THE ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ON-CHAIN.
