About this exposition

„The Green Man“ art work is based on a real environmental research that was conducted on invasive tropical algae from the Adriatic Sea which belong to the most invasive species on the Earth. These algae are dangerous because they produce toxic compounds that destroy native species causing reduction in biodiversity and marine life. Despite its harmful effects on ecosystems, animal and human health the monitoring of these species in Croatia has been terminated due to lack of financial support. Through human body and circulatory system, this art work discusses fundamental issues present in research practice. Links in the work represent touch-activated voice lines that reveal the truth and actual state of scientific and artistic research practice.
