Video painting and VR Installation

Glaciers are deep-time containers of environmental time. Iceberg Cycle (Ice-Time) expands our perception of the relationship between the human and the glacial. Using a subversive treatment of speed, Iceberg Cycle (Ice-Time) conveys the expansion and contraction of glacial ice. It elicits the poetry contained within the specifics of frozen water. Face-to-face with mammoth glaciers, the video-painting reveals time in the cryosphere – time that is dwindling. This video portrays living ice from the Jakobshavn Glacier, the world’s fastest flowing ice field.

Ice-Time 360° is a 360°-cinema/VR recreation of the original Ice-Time installation mediascape. Ice-Time is an immersive, multi‑projection video and 3D sound installation that combines art science, and technology. The artwork is a creative response to the accelerating changes we are observing in Earth’s ecosystem. It examines polar ice as the most visible yet inaccessible indicator of climate change. The installation creates a singular portrait of ice, from vast glaciers to individual crystals, revealing deep time and the phenomenon of ice through contrasting physical scales and speeds of observation. The artwork creates a poetic-scientific portrait of ice through time‑lapse photography, micro‑photography, satellite images, and contact audio recordings.
