The Dolphin Embassy was a project by Berkeley art collective Ant Farm. It's mission was to develop dolphin/human relations through the creation of a common language and a mobile laboratory. The project received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and was shown at SFMOMA.

Ant Farm is considered significant as the first studio practice to incorporate new media in its work. Thematically it looks like they were focused on the confluence of new technology, utopian optimism and psychedelic drugs.

Iterations of the designs for the Dolphin Embassy continued into the early 2000s with a proposal for a space craft that would act as a joint dolphin-human space colony and would contain a massive, free floating sphere of water that would be ultra sonically stabilized.

So cool! One of my favorite art pieces! http://greg.org/archive/2010/06/01/cue_the_dolphin_embassy.h...
