Ice as an Agent of Aesthetic Science Communication is a new series in the online journal w/k - Between Science and Art, which explores the mediation and generation of environmental knowledge around (the melting of) ice at the interface between art and science. The focus lies on the question of how artists and scientists use the sensual quality of ice to make abstract scientific knowledge tangible in a new and more comprehensive way. In a nutshell, we are interested in the exploration, perception and mediation of nature in visual cultural contexts with a special emphasis on the cryosphere – which refers to ice and snow in the Earth’s climate system. This page provides an overview of the main arguments and key topics.
