The Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) provides a platform for the design and construction of aesthetic and site-specific renewable energy generation infrastructures conceived of as public art installations. Each sculpture will continuously distribute clean energy into the electrical grid, with each having the potential to provide power to thousands of homes. Presenting the power plant as public artwork—simultaneously enhancing the environment, increasing livability, providing a venue for learning, and stimulating local economic development—is a way to address a variety of social and environmental issues from the perspective of the ecologically concerned artist and designer. By nature of its functional utility, the work also sets itself into many other overlapping disciplines from architecture and urban design to mechanical engineering and environmental science. This interdisciplinary result has the effect of both enhancing the level of innovation and broadening the audience for the work. Land art generators serve as testing grounds and demonstration projects for emerging clean technologies. Incorporated these systems as the medium for public artworks brings wide attention to their innovation and eases the constraints of market viability for implementation of products that are in the later stages of prototyping and testing.
