SDG 14

SDG 14 aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. Oceans are crucial to the planet’s health, supporting biodiversity, regulating climate, and providing food and livelihoods for millions. This goal focuses on reducing marine pollution, protecting marine ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainable management of fisheries. It also emphasizes the importance of conserving coastal areas and addressing the impacts of ocean acidification and overfishing. By safeguarding life below water, SDG 14 ensures the protection of marine ecosystems for current and future generations, helping to maintain the balance of Earth’s natural resources.

Rubber and frost meet, right here. Where have we been? Where are we going? That horizon... it's softer now, the light uncertain. Each mark on this tire, a story of the land. But the land is changing, breathing differently. I see it, we all do. This isn't just a view; it's the ground shifting beneath us, captured in a moment.

Autonomous Operation

Digital Salvage explores the use of digital archiving, artificial intelligence, data organization, publishing systems, and content preservation technologies to support heritage and community storytelling. The project serves as a practical learning environment where participants develop skills in digital literacy, research, content management, automation, archival practices, and emerging technologies while creating lasting public value.

Acknowledgements

This project was an activity piloted with strategic arts innovation funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse in 2022. We thank them for their support.

Experimental Futures

Digital Salvage explores the long-term relationship between technology, creativity, memory, and knowledge. The project examines what happens when information systems continue to evolve beyond their original creators, creating new opportunities for autonomous research, publishing, cultural preservation, and digital stewardship.
