Communicating Climate Change Through InterANTARCTICA
September 25th
2009
Dr Caitilin de Berigny Wall (onacloV) returned to The Australian National University this week to showcase her latest interdisciplinary research project, InterANTARCTICA. Caitilin (onacloV) is an artist, researcher and lecturer at the University of Sydney. She studied Bachelor of Arts (Visual) with Honours at the Australian National University.
InterANTARCTICA is an innovative cross-media platform which pursues climate change in an interactive context incorporating sight, sound and touch. The exhibition provides a technological platform for the public to interact, experience and learn more about climate change.
There are a number of components to InterANTARCTICA such as panoramic video, tangible user interface (TUI) tables, multi-user interactive sound and visualization projected onto a dome. The aim of the interactive display is to stimulate multiple sensory experiences for the viewer while communicating critical scientific data surrounding climate change.
