“Glacier wrapping” is a geoengineering practice of blanketing a glacial landscape with massive synthetic tarps to reflect sunlight and reduce ice loss, often motivated for maintaining profit-generating activities like skiing.
Glacier Wrap is a triptych of digital works titled Gorner, Rhone, and Aletsch.
This series deconstructs chunks of Swiss geo-data and ungracefully attempts to wrap them with a cloth simulation. Originally commissioned by the Electric Objects as part of Art Club #55.
