The history of Newfoundland is intimately tied to itsrelationship with the sea, to its island status and itsconsequent cultural isolation, to its reliance on fishingand more recently oil. But it is also one of tides- of prosperity and loss, migration and resettlement,of occupation and erasure.This research is an investigation into the nature ofmutable landscapes – shifting settlements, resourcesand infrastructures. It is recognized that the needs ofeach community and the resources of each environmentare diverse in type and supply. The spatializationof an energy infrastructure has the opportunityto link, in a dynamic system, the ecological, political,cultural, and historical constituents atomized communities.It has the potential to be a dynamic systemthat forces a presence in the everyday lives of acultural habitat.
