Wayland Patch 8/29/12: One Fish's Journey from Transfer Station to Boston Festival and Beyond. “In the beginning …” there were boxes upon boxes of discarded CDs. Those CDs posed an artistic dilemma for Wayland resident Dan Balter and his friend and collaborator Peter Vazquez, the founders of the eco-art organization Fireseed Arts. They, along with artist Juan Flores, took a look at the more than 6,000 CDs and thought, “fish scales.” And so began a project at the Wayland Transfer Station, where Fireseed Arts operates an artist-in-residence program designed to show transfer station visitors the artistic opportunities of their “trash.” The projects developed through the program find homes in a wide variety of places, but this fish was destined from the beginning for a very large stage: the Boston GreenFest on City Hall Plaza.
