SPECIAL EVENT
Glacier Dreams: Artist Talk by Refik Anadol
Internationally renowned media artist and director Refik Anadol will discuss his new artwork in conversation with Honor Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum.
He will reveal the creative process and influences behind Glacier Dreams, an immersive AI-generated installation inspired by the beauty and fragility of glaciers.
Refik Anadol is a pioneer in the aesthetics of machine intelligence. Using data as his primary material, he creates site-specific sculptures, live audio/visual performances and immersive installations that encourage us to rethink our engagement with the physical world and with the creative potential of machines.
Glacier Dreams is the result of a long-term research project shaped at the intersection of multisensory new media art, machine learning and environmental studies. Visual materials collated from publicly available data and institutional archives, together with glacier images personally collected by Anadol in Iceland, were processed through machine learning algorithms and transformed into AI-based multi-sensory narratives. With this project, Anadol hopes to use existing AI tools to contribute to glacier research and raise awareness on climate change and rising sea levels.
Glacier Dreams unfolds as a series of artworks over multiple chapters around the world. It will be presented as a large-scale projection on the facade of ArtScience Museum at
i Light Singapore 2023 from 1 to 25 June.
Refik Anadol will give a presentation about his artwork, before being in conversation with Honor Harger, Vice President of ArtScience Museum.
The event is co-organised by ArtScience Museum, the Refik Anadol Studio and Julius Baer, in conjunction with i Light Singapore.
