GLACIER DREAMS: AT THE INTERSECTION OF ART, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
A pioneer in aesthetics of data and machine intelligence, Refik Anadol returns with Glacier Dreams — his newest AI data painting installation unveiled as an immersive, multisensory activation. At Art Dubai 2023 which took place between 1-5 March, the new media artist launched the first chapter of his ongoing collaboration with Swiss Private Bank Julius Baer for their NEXT initiative. Presented as a three-dimensional space where sound, light, and scent come together in a hypnotic generative display, the synesthetic project illuminates the beauty and fragility of Iceland’s volcanic glaciers which Anadol refers to as ‘melting memories’. Across its multiple chapters, Glacier Dreams investigates both the geological and aesthetic formations of glaciers while raising awareness about the dangers of rising sea levels by utilizing AI tools in innovative ways to ‘change humanity’.
