#19 - New Orleans, Venice, and The European Cultural Centre; Partners for Coastal Community Resilience

In this episode, we speak world renowned sculptor and designer, Zach Coffin [https://zacharycoffin.com/] who has helped redefine the limits of large-scale kinetic art, both ‘on Playa’ in the context of the Burning Man experience, and through publicly accessible and interactive municipal art projects in cities around the world. Zach joins us in New Orleans from his home base in the San Francisco Bay area. As Chief Technology Officer at Helios Industries [https://www.heliosindustries.net/], Zach is now leveraging his sculpture, engineering, and design background to develop cutting edge renewable energy microgrid gen sets that hold the promise of completely transforming humanity’s relationship to mobile energy generation, freeing us from the noise, pollution, and safety issues associated with diesel and other internal combustion (ICE) generators.

Zach shares his pithy take on the art world and the importance of climate action, as well as details about his personal  journey as an artist, innovator, and climate technology developer. Along the way, we learn about origins of the now ubiquitous ‘Twenty foot equivalent unit’ (TEU) shipping container, which has since revolutionized global shipping, and how the Burning Man event has evolved with regard to large interactive art, urban planning, and sustainability.

GUEST BIO:
Zach Coffin
Helios Industries [https://www.heliosindustries.net/]
Founding Partner and Chief Technology Officer

Zach is a globally recognized sculptor with an extensive portfolio of installations. His primary artistic domain is the creation of large scale kinetic sculptures using structural steel, stone, and other materials. His creations are designed to evoke awe in the seemingly impossible, such as giant floating slabs of stone or massive metal structures which move gently with the wind. He achieves this by implementing his vision through detailed design, mechanical engineering and precise machining combined with a deep understanding of the properties of the metal and materials used to form his works.

Zach has been building large-scale kinetic and interactive sculpture for over 25 years. His work draws from engineering and the history of industry for a visual language that is practical and dramatic yet unadorned. He has received multiple public and private commissions throughout the United States and Europe.

#18: Next Generation Microgrids; The Burning Man Sculptor Behind SolarWing

In this episode, we speak with an awe-inspiring clean energy pioneer and leader in the extremely carbon-intensive disaster response sector. Will Heegaard shares with us the inspiring history and ongoing work of Footprint Project [https://www.footprintproject.org/], a small but mighty New Orleans-based non-profit that has gained national recognition for its grassroots work helping communities to not only restore critical power supplies with renewable energy generator sets, but providing the training and know-how to transform normally marginalized groups and communities into resilient, well-prepared, clean energy pioneers. Will teaches us about Footprint Project’s important post hurricane relief efforts and mission to provide clean energy to communities in crisis.

Footprint Project believes that we should not just be reacting to the next storm - we should be ready for it! They are working to break the negative feedback loop of responding to climate emergencies with fossil fuels, reimagining the traditional, response-centered cycle of disaster relief.

GUEST BIO:
Will Heegaard
Footprint Project.org
Operations Director

Will Heegaard sees every disaster as an opportunity to build back greener. Before launching Footprint Project, Will worked as an EMT / Paramedic in Minneapolis, and deployed with International Medical Corps (IMC) to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan (2013) and Liberia during the Ebola outbreak (2015). In 2016, Will managed an epidemic disease surveillance program for IMC in Guinea, West Africa, where he piloted the installation of solar refrigeration at five remote laboratories to safely collect, store, and refer blood samples for Ebola recovery. Domestically, Will has volunteered with Team Rubicon after disasters in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Puerto Rico.

Will founded Footprint Project in 2018 to accelerate the humanitarian response industry's transition off of fossil fuels, and has steadily grown the organization from inception into a nationally-recognized leader in community-led, climate-conscious disaster response, recovery and resilience. Footprint Project's model has received accolades from Time Magazine (2022 Best Inventions), and Building Green (2023 Top 10 Industry Transforming Products), and in 2022 Will was named "Person of the Year" by Microgrid Knowledge. Will received his B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies from University of California, Berkeley, where he wrote his honors thesis on the socio-political history of existential risk.

#17: Footprint Project; Operationalizing Sustainability for Humanitarian Response

In this episode, we strike out into the solar system with Roberto Carlino, a NASA engineer and innovation pioneer with an eye on the space age technologies and systems that will facilitate humanities leap to a multi-planetary species.

As part of Deep Blue Institute interest and advocacy for technologies that support maritime urbanism, or floating cities, we recognize that many of the concepts and tech innovations that support extended space flight and habitation provide the proofs of concept for the solution sets that will facilitate the realization of remote ocean-based habitats serviced by off grid energy, water, and waste systems. Robert unique background and perspective gives us a glimpse into how humanity’s irrepressible drive to explore the solar system, and beyond, is fueling technology breakthroughs and innovation here on Earth.

After a week of meetings and community events in New Orleans, Roberto reflects on what he sees happening in terms of climate tech development and entrepreneurship in the region. He also helps us to contextualize the role of New Orleans’ own NASA Michoud facility in the broader context of the global space industry. There is much to celebrate.

#12 - The Water Institute of The Gulf; Global Leadership for Empowering Resilient Coastal Communities

In this episode, we speak with Lelei LeLaulu, a preeminent thought leader, diplomat, and pioneer in the realm of United Nations sustainable development policy, island state climate resilience, renewable energy independence, and cultural preservation. Lelei shares his keen understanding of how island and coastal communities can harness the benefits of sustainable tourism, zero carbon ocean-based renewable energy technologies, and debt relief, while leveraging the transformative potential of the incumbent “bad boy” forces of extractive mining and fossil fuel industries.

From his diverse experience, Lelei gives us glimpse into the challenges and opportunities confronted by at-risk island and coastal communities seeking to effectively navigate existential climate-induced threats to their cultural heritage, economy, and way of life; exacerbated by the accelerating loss of landmasses that they have called home for countless generations. Originally from Samoa, he is a highly respected point of reference for government and industry leaders across the broad reach of Pacific, Polynesian, and Caribbean communities, helping them realize what might be the opportunities of “ocean gain”; Lelei’s alternative way of looking at the challenges of net global “land loss”.
