Extending the Behind the Meter project, this informative website and campaign uses a simple, straightforward design language to compare and contrast discrepancies between two industries in New York's Finger Lakes region: wine & grape agritourism vs. cryptocurrency mining.
It's also an exploration in graphical persuasion/polemics, prompting the Governor of the state of New York to sign a bill calling for a moratorium on new cryptocurrency mining development.
According to Stuart Walker, “the tacit expression of values and the assertion of a position are fundamental to both technological development and the discipline of design, and are therefore, critical characteristics of design practice.”
Event at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center, Geneva, NY. June 2022.
