Interstitial Climate Experiment (ICE) will be a large-scale gallery installation (currently a work-in-progress). This 3D animation functions as a moving image conceptual 'sketch' of the installation. The animation itself is a work-in-progress and the interior (hut) and exterior (gallery) space serves as place-holders for the various components of the installation that will be added to the model as they are being prototyped and developed (audio stories, photography and video projection, architectural sculpture, holographic and 3D printed objects, and a data visualization augmented reality mobile application) to facilitate visualization and planning before production on the gallery (or potentially, web)-based installation.

THANK YOU to the Foundation for Glacier and Environmental Research (FGER) and the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) for inviting me to attend the summer 2021 expedition as artist-in-resident and science communication faculty. This project is inspired by this expedition, the people I lived with for 2 months, the awe-inspiring glaciers of Alaska, and the polar north in general. As an ongoing project, this work aims to visually articulate the decades of glaciological data collected by JIRP researchers and tell the millennial history of human exploration of glaciers in Alaska and Northern Canada.

Hut model based on JIRP camp huts (not to scale nor exact replicas). Left wall and front photo is the Vaughn Lewis icefall flowing into the Gilkey Glacier at Camp 18. Right wall and rear wall (with gallery entrance) is of Camp 17 on the ridge between the Lemon Glacier and the Ptarmigan Glacier (not pictured).

As the longest operating Polar research and education program, JIRP is an incredible opportunity for young people to learn how to do polar fieldwork with intense safety training, teamwork (vital for surviving and thriving for long periods in the field), collaboration, and creativity.
