Glacier 60000...

"In Glacier 60000, the indexical information versus the computer generated one forms the center of the work. Every time a jpg file is opened and closed it is decompressed and compressed. Hence the compression every time the file is opened and closed it looses some of its original information. Through automation I made the file open repetitiously several thousand times, saving a new copy each time. As an effect the recognizable photograph is transformed into an abstract almost map-like image before it is lost completely. All the images are then animated into a sequence. Here the instability of the digital information communicates a self-reflexive symbolism as it ‘melts’ the glacier into a field of grey tones becoming almost empty of the desired information."

I really like this concept of a digitalised version of global warming, I could use this idea of melting ice and flip it around to represent the earth getting hotter because of global warming.


This is screen shots of a video about global warming and how it has affected the inuets and their struggle to live, I can use this concept of an inuet standing on an iceberg for my idea representing the struggle of humans through global warming.
