Journal Article
Crude Life
2018
Overview
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest industrial petrochemical accident in US history, and because the spill occurred in the deep sea, its impact on the environment has been difficult to assess. The Gulf of Mexico is among the most biologically diverse marine environments in the world, with new species being described every year. Yet, the long-term damage and potential recovery of these species post-spill is not well understood. Crude Life is an interdisciplinary art, science, and outreach project focused on gathering data on endemic fishes affected by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. This portable art-science museum of Gulf of Mexico regional biodiversity seeks to raise public awareness of local species, ecosystems, and regional environmental challenges through temporary \"pop-up\" exhibitions, along with community citizen-science surveys of Gulf species. According to co-curator Sean Miller (University of Florida), The Crude Life Portable Biodiversity Museum is designed to be a location-variable museum capable of easily opening at many different public events and site-specific contexts.
