Listen to the sound of "ice."
The ice, which is formed when flowing water freezes below freezing, is thought to contain the conditions and memories of the land.
From the Arctic and Iceland in the north, to Antarctica in the south, and cities like Tokyo and New York,
The exhibition will feature the sounds of ice recorded in various locations around the world, as well as electronic music composed from the image of ice by artists from around the world.
The installation, which allows visitors to listen to the sounds of "ice" while looking at visual documents related to the collected sounds, will be displayed in the blanClass space for three days.
The documents that the artists sent along with the sound of "ice" take a variety of approaches, including photographs, drawings, sheet music, and even diary-like structures.
On the final day, a sound performance will be held using the sounds of the collected "ice."
I imagine the sound of "ice" condensed in the empty space of blanClass melting away again.
