Art form in the medium future (not far, not near) - ecological vandalism of old, poisoned industrial sites. Artists with skills in biology, ecosystems, gene hacking, & a neoluddite inspiration will build small guerilla miniecosystems to leach out poisons and embarass corporate property owners.
Example - brownfield by a plastics factory, near a town that had to be cleared out because of the cancer cluster. long abandoned and tastefully camouflaged. low profile, uninhabited. first the trees start coming up, leaching out nasty chemicals and storing them in brightly colored wood. "daddy, why are those trees over there glowing neon orange?"
engineered fish that looooove to eat other fish full of dioxin. (hopefully they can actually break it down)
geneered vandalism. someday, we will look back at our early postindustrial period, and shake our heads not only at the long vanished species that we wiped out, but at the crazy new ones enthusiastic splicers let slip out of the lab.
guess it's time to go be social tonight.
