The seeds of the open island initiative began in the year 2000 when Joy Lohmann made a floating social art installation at the world fair EXPO2000 in Hannover, Germany. As an artist, designer and maker, Joy has since then created several public artworks, social sculptures and floating islands to raise awareness on climate change issues and develop lowcost islands for people in need.

The final OPENISLAND – idea and opensource documentation was realized in India from 20122014 together with Art Escape, a collective based out of Goa (20122015), and dartofscience.com (2014 & 2015).

Till now, 10 floating island structures have been built by the team (6 in Germany, 3 in Goa, India and 1 in Ahmedabad, India).

Open Island serves the following purposes:

as an opensource DIY recyclingfloat system and manual to raise climate change resilience in floodaffected areas
as a symbol to attract like minded people for collaborative humanitarian actions
as a multipurpose platform for local communities (floating classroom / stage / marketplace / fablab / social business
