Really sorry that I won't be able to make it to this.
But would love to hear about it from anyone that can.
/The Southern Ocean Studies/ is a sublime art work (not hyperbole, this
work evokes the precision of Durer with the cyber-gods' eye view of our
relationship with our ocean environment).
Thanks Tom for sharing!

FLOATING POINTS
Gavin Baily, Tom Corby
Ambika P3, University of Westminster,
35 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5LS
Private view: 6.00 pm Friday 18th December
Exhibition Opening hours: Saturday 19th Dec – Monday 21 Dec, 12.00-6.00
We are pleased to announce a new exhibition by Gavin Baily and Tom
Corby consisting of 3 screen-based projects and an installation set
within P3’s underground galleries.
The Northern Polar Studies (2015) and Minima, Maxima (2015) are
premiered, while The Southern Ocean Studies (in collaboration with Dr
Jonathan Mackenzie 2010), and Cyclone (2005 – 2015) are uniquely shown
together for the first time. All 4 works employ various forms of
climate or meteorological data to visually and physically condense the
aleatory, hidden and the systemic aspects of sites and landscapes as
large-scale data animation or installation.
Art has long found ways to make tangible the Earth’s exhalation of
atmospheres and climates. This exhibition can be seen as part of this
tradition, but breaks from it by bringing contemporary scientific
technologies, data and institutions to bear to show how universal
concepts of human relations with landscape are still pertinent in a
contemporary context of accelerating climate change. Additionally,
the complex entanglements of the social, material, atmospheric and
geographic explored throughout these works, extend our feel for
landscape and also our sense of how time functions in it. Landscape
through its laminations, layering and morphologies, is conceived in
this work as a recording device that tracks the Earth’s changing
energy signatures. This movement of time and matter reimagines
environmental terrains as extended temporal forms resultant from
long-term changes; which we might propose of as ‘deep time landscapes’.
This work has been made in collaboration with the British Antarctic
Survey, and special thanks goes to Nathan Cunningham, Dr Clare
Tancell, Professor David Walton, Dr Beatrix Schlarb-Ridley, Professor
Mike Meredith, and Pete Bucktrout. Funding for this work has been by
Arts Council England, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the
Natural Environment Research Council, and the Centre for Research in
Education, Art and Media at the University of Westminster.
