untitled antarctica is a generative installation utilizing glass, wood, sculptural video and sound. The installation is based on underwater terrain data, (acoustic imaging) of the glacier-carved earth beneath the Antarctic sea ice. The cut glass and CNC carved wood are informed by a data set that describes the deepest dip at the fastest melting point off the Western coast of Antarctica. The sound is generativity altered using longitude and latitude based bathymetric data mapped to specific frequencies. The video is an algorithmic composite of bathymetric data that affects the video to realize shifting landscapes over time. Video stills were also extracted, transferred to film and then printed as silver gelatin prints. untitled antarctica premiered with 319 Scholes Gallery in Brooklyn, New York and went on to exhibit in several shows and galleries, including the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics in Long Island.
