‘Glacier Dreams’ by Refik Anadol

Glacier Dreams is a breathtaking new art commission by the talented Refik Anadol that sets out to capture the exquisite beauty and fragility of the world's glaciers.

The artwork results from an extensive research project at the intersection of multisensory new media art, machine learning, and environmental studies. Refik Anadol has processed a vast dataset of visual materials from online and institutional archives, supplemented with glacier visuals he collected in Iceland, through machine learning algorithms to create an audio-visual masterpiece. The artwork also features a pioneering artificial intelligence model that adds an olfactory component to the multisensory experience. This groundbreaking work of art is a powerful reminder of our planet's vulnerability and the urgent need to protect it.
