Duke Riley- Acorn
During the revolutionary war a primitive submarine called the Turtle was used to attack a British flagship in New York harbor. The one manned wooden vessel reached the ship successfully but was unable to attach explosives to its hull.Although the mission was a failure this unorthodox guerilla tactic embodied “the spirit of 76.” Individual acts of selfless courage combined with Yankee ingenuity allowed us overcome a superior military force. Valuing liberty over life is the core of our patriotic identity. At the time the predominantly loyalist new Yorkers and the British troops were horrified by what they viewed as a cowardly insurgent attack.
The war on terror in the U.S. and abroad mirror the American revolutionary war on many levels. This time however our role as the military superpower as well as our ideology have inverted. Those who appose us must resort to new tactics of destruction and terror. In our effort to squelch these attacks, we have compromised our civil liberties in favor of heightened security measures such as the patriot act. This undermines the founding principles that true patriots fought to establish long ago.
In 2007, I reenacted the Turtle’s mission. I built and launched a similar submarine in the direction of a new British ship invading New York harbor, I successfully navigated to within a few yards of the Queen Mary 2 before I was arrested and my sub was confiscated. Despite billions of tax dollars spent annually on homeland security New York harbor is no less permeable than it was 8 years ago or in 1776.
Subsequently 60 million municipal tax dollars were allocated to haven the massive ocean liner in Brooklyn. Promises that the foreign owned ship would bring revitalization and jobs to the surrounding neighborhood were never kept. Thus provided further empties for attack.
The final project combines the submarine re enactment with an alternate history of the battle of Brooklyn. Factual Information regarding seditious generals artist recognizance missions and an invaluable Multi racial naval regiment are woven into folklore. A mythical liberator resurfaces from the bottom of the harbor centuries later to restore a derailed national objective.
