Project Blackwater was a design experiment meant to create a fake viral news narrative and insight outrage around the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is an example of how powerful design and media can be in crafting messaging to the detriment and benefit of humanity. FYI I am an avid environmental advocate and was not allowed to volunteer in the cleanup which is what made me wonder what was being hidden and prompted this experiment. I also created and acted in the video.
