Speaker
Tristan Duke
(LACMA Art + Technology Lab Grant Recipient)
Description
Artist Tristan Duke will share work from his ongoing interdisciplinary, research-based project Glacial Optics. In 2022 the artist undertook an expedition to the arctic where he made functioning camera lenses out of glacier ice, capturing portraits of the glaciers through their own ice. Subsequently the artist has worked with the NSF Ice Core facility and the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) to further explore the glacier as a literal and poetic lens through which to understand our world.
