Tape Caulk Alternative




Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Sólheimajökull is a piece of Katie Paterson that suits the idea of \u200b\u200bactivism made from a conceptual standpoint and delicate. The truth is I do not know whether the author was thinking about climate change by creating this work, but certainly serves as a perfect metaphor. What is it exactly? Paterson

recorded sound in three glaciers in Iceland and pressed three discs of ice water from these glaciers and their sounds , obviously. The discs were put in three plates and rang until completely melted and disappeared ... Now all that remains are three DVDs, I hope not a day when the only memory I have is that the glaciers.

Just graduated from Slade School of Fine Arts, Paterson embarked on a journey to Iceland where he lived for 7 months. His experiences in the Scandinavian country took to create experiments as Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Sólheimajökull.

On his return to the UK, came Reflect on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the moon using Morse code and recording the whole process. At present, the Scottish artist prepares a map of all the dead stars in the universe with the help of amateur astronomers Internet. In an interview

by Monocle, Paterson declared that always had a peculiar conception of art and what it means: "it is sometimes difficult to explain in words my creations, maybe that's why I became an artist."
