2016 LAGI Santa Monica winners artfully rethink clean-energy infrastructure

By Justine Testado|

Tuesday, Oct 11, 2016

1st place: Regatta H2O: Familiar Form, Chameleon Infrastructure by Christopher Sjoberg, Ryo Saito

The Land Art Generator Initiative have announced the winners of their 2016 ideas competition! Following successful runs in Copenhagen, Dubai, New York, and a special edition in Glasgow, the main 2016 LAGI competition was set in sunny Santa Monica Bay in California. Participants worldwide had to envision a public art installation that can cleanly harvest energy from nature and will produce electricity or clean water for Santa Monica — a timely objective as California's drought presses on.

LAGI organizers described this year's submissions as the most innovative by far, and that they'll contribute to the city of Santa Monica's investigative efforts for solutions in sustainable water harvesting and consumption. In the end, three winners were selected. If all works out smoothly, LAGI might be able to make some of the most feasible design submissions a reality.
