Melting Earth
Medium: Installation | Data Visualization
Year: 2019
Ice melting simulates the temperature change around the world. According to the different degrees of the impact of global warming, I choose 9 areas in the world and design the ice cubes.
9 ice cubes with different information are divided into 3 groups according to their sizes.The bigger the ice, the less impact of global warming, and the longer the melting time. At the beginning of the experiment, 9 boxes were removed from refrigerator simultaneously. Remove the ice cubes completely from the boxes and put them on the table. Under the constant temperature of 26 degree centigrades, take the ice melting process by time-lapse photography. And there are also a guidebook about this whole installation be frozen into the ice.
The whole installation consists of 9 area ice cubes with information and a guidebook which is frozen into the ice. According to the different degrees of the impact of global warming, 9 ice cubes are divided into 3 sizes ( large — North America, Australia, Europe; middle — East Asia, Africa, South America; small — Arctic, Antarctic, Greenland ). At the beginning of the experiment, 9 boxes were removed from refrigerator simultaneously. Remove the ice cube completely from the box and put them on the table. Under the constant temperature 26 °C, camera took the ice melting process by time-lapse photography.
