Project description

Experiment Arctic” is a new media art installation, which talks about global warming and its consequences. The current artwork differs from the other works of this field by it temporality. A piece of ice that placed on the special table is let to melt in order to visualize the real situation that is happening in Arctic Sea. The water from melting ice controls videos that are projected on the top of ice and table. Visuals are about global warming, shrinking ice in the North Pole, and correspond to different water levels. Thus, the work aims to shake our consciousness and experiment with a new and temporal medium like ice.
