Abstract
This presentation focuses on the recent projects by artist duo IC-98 that combine installation and digital animation. In analyzing these works, I engage the aesthetic notion of Sublime, defined by Edmund Burke as a product of encounters with objects that are vast, obscure or otherwise excessive and thus capable of producing 'delightful horror'. My contention is that Sublime can provide a basis for developing environmental awareness.
