Governor’s Island 2013 Residency for Oyster City

The Oyster City team has been granted a 2013 Swing Space residency on Governor’s Island by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Oyster City, an AR walking tour and game, is a project by Rachel Stevens, Phoenix Toews and me. We are excited to have a studio on Governor’s Island since a large part of our project takes place there. In addition to LMCC’s studio spaces, the Island is also home to an oyster hatchery and nursery run by The NY Harbor School, a marine-science based public school focused on the health of the local waterways. The school’s nursery plays a significant role in helping the Oyster Restoration Research Partnership restore the harbor’s oyster population.
