Description
Newtown Creek is a massively contaminated Superfund site running through the Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York. For the AR artwork "Newtown Creek (oil spill)" Tamiko Thiel has created a 3D object from the outline of the creek, textured it with an iridescent oil spill and geolocated it at Meeker Avenue and Gardner Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, one of the few places with street access to Newtown Creek.
