THE COLORS OF ICE. Preservation, promotion and emotion
Glaciers are alive: they move, change, and evolve. They have sounds and colors.
The artistic project reveals to us the “Colors of Ice” as seen through the eyes of nature, science, and art. In addition to the satellite photographs documenting the glacier, AI-generated images are used to reprocess scientific data, introducing new colors to the ice that display its boundaries, temperature, melting and future scenarios.
The “Colors of Ice” are ultimately interpreted through an artist’s sensitivity in the photographs taken inside the glacier.
