Executed in 2023

Antarctic Ice is an interactive kinetic artwork showing the current state of the melting ice sheets in Antarctica, driven by data from NASA. Every hour, the iceberg will go back to its original shape and then melt away until it reaches a size that is representational of where the current measurement is when compared to 2002. If trends stay as they are, the iceberg will continue to shrink over time. 

When you approach the artwork, you can reveal the full iceberg by interacting with the piece, which will then once again melt back to its current state.
