About Glacier Lament Suidheachadh Ealain

Is e Tuireadh Eigh-shruthan ionad-suidhichte ealain a tha a' beantainn ri call nan eigh-shruthan. Tha Pantone a' liostadh ceithir cairtean dath airson gorm-eigh-shruthan, ach ann an fìor eigh-shruthan tha an gorm seo caochlaideach agus fuinneamhach. Mar a thèid eigh-shruthan à sealladh, tha an gorm sònraichte seo cuideachd a' dol à sealladh. Chaidh tòna gorm nan eigh-shruthan ann an Alaska a shampladh agus a mheasgachadh, agus an uairsin a chumail ann an trì fichead searrag glainne ath-chuairtichte, crochte os cionn canabhais. Gach uair a thachair tuiteam-eigh (calving), thuit aon searrag. Ro dheireadh an taisbeanaidh, bha na trì fichead searrag air fad air tuiteam, a' cruthachadh dealbh air a' chanabhas fodha.

Unique Properties: There are four color cards in PANTONE for glacier blue. However, in real glaciers, this blue color is variable and dynamic. As glaciers are disappearing, this unique blue is also disappearing. We sampled and blended the blue color from glaciers in Alaska and hung them in recycled glass vials. When one glacier calving happened, one color vial fell down. At the end of the exhibition, all 60 vials fell down, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.
Dimensions & Packaging: 4m x 6m x 6m
Tags: Glacier, climate change, light, Alaska
Production Technology: Data sonification, data physicalization, electronics, glacier melting data
Inspiration: Glaciers are sentinels of climate change. They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. This series of works embodies the stunning beauty, rapid change, fragility, destructive power, and magnificence of glaciers. At the same time, they challenge the audience with the dramatic, irreversible ecological damages from climate change.
