But the virtual landscapes were as elusive as the arctic ice. It turns out, observing the world with laser precision brings no precise answers but fascinating new perspectives on a landscape caught between permanence and collapse.
The exhibition, Archive of Endangered Spaces investigates the architecture of the archive through the interplay between digital and physical worlds, between scanning and fabrication, between science and fiction.
The Svalbard icescapes are the first entry in the Archive of Endangered Spaces. Over time we will grow the archive while researching methods and technologies that allow for spaces lost to change to be explored by future generations.
