Antarctic Futures

For the past few months I have been helping develop Antarctic Futures – an exhibition, public seminar series and program of children’s learning workshops. The event is a collaboration between artists and scientists that aims to mobilise public reflection about the future of Antarctica in the light of anthropogenic climate change.

Antarctic Futures runs from 15 August – 23 October 2022 across the University of Wollongong Gallery and Early Start facilities. More information here.

I am showing some of my own work in the exhibition. The mixture of code-based drawings and 3D visualisations aim to imagine a changed Antarctica – at once collapsing/disintegrating and growing warmer/more green. Despite its digital status, this work does not really lend itself to web display. The intricate details of the algorithmic drawings are only visible at greater scale in print, but still, here are some sample images (click to see a bit larger versions).
