Description
An event organised by the Remote Sensing: Ice, Instruments, Imagination research network.
Panel discussion
Abstract
In this session, we will consider together specific practices of engaging with icy landscapes, from science, art, and poetry. How does sensing/drawing/writing a glacier create and participate in imaginaries of ice, its movements and possible meanings? How do vision, sound and language interact and interfere in the construction of place? What approaches may be shared among different practitioners, and where do these practices diverge?
We will invite contributions from radioglaciologist Nanna Karlson and artist Charles Stankievech, and then open the discussion to the group.
