Kraftlaus

How can an entity as large as a glacier fight back? Kraftlaus (meaning "powerless" in Icelandic) is a site-specific interactive installation that tells non-linear audiovisual stories of death and rebirth, of microscopic beings trapped within it, of ash falling and darkening the landscape, and of how humans dissect, analyze, quantify, and consume the glacier. The artwork consists of a “floating” large high-definition screen; a camera mounted on top of the screen that tracks participants’ movements; and a set of headphones that play sounds related to the glacier. The stories range from serene ice landscapes to fast-flashing imagery.
