Drop

Drop is an audiovisual installation that personifies the melting of ice in time through days, months, and years - using the lycra textile that forms a levitating drop as a projection surface. DROP is based on data visualisation and sonification piece developed by Baraga and Fraction - a composition in time, about the disappearance of our most valuable natural element - ice. The installation visualises and sonifies the melting of ice in time through years, months, and days. The composition that visualises drops as a metaphor of melting ice transforms rapidly as we move towards the present moment- clearly reminding us of its urgency.

The dataset is used from project IMBIE, a collaboration between scientists supported by the ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).
