Description: | The Northern Polar Studies is a large-scale screen-based installation which uses data-sets from drifting buoys and satellite measurements of Arctic sea ice. This data has been used to model the retreat of the Arctic going back the 1980s by examining the age and distribution of sea ice. In animating this data visually, the work reveals an uncanny vision of phantasmagoric shapes, figures and tendrils of environmental ruination over an extended time period. In part equally fascinating and abject, the work expresses the plasticity, vulnerability and multidimensionality of environmental sites in an era of anthropogenic forcing. |
