At MIT, an art installation reminds visitors of warming waters and our role in climate change:
Walking up the pathway to MIT's nanotechnology research building, look up. You'll notice rings hanging from the ceiling. Some are lit up with LEDs and disappear into the surface. Amorphous stainless steel panels reflect the shapes back.
The site-specific installation's name is a nod to the physical sea route to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean, which for centuries has been ice-bound, but with the acceleration of global warming, is melting, allowing ships to sail through without an icebreaker.Olafur, an internationally renowned Danish-Icelandic artist, views art as an encounter, where the viewer is co-writer and co-producer.
The passageway to the door of the building was perfect."It's a transit. ... It's a calculation between two points more than actually a space in itself, so a lot of it for me personally is that it has to do with process,” he says. “If you think about it there is no space which does not have a sort of inscribed behavioral agenda.
"I think you can also see it as an experimental spatial setup with a semi-circular lantern or lamp that once you see it in the mirror appears to be a circle and you might need a moment ... to figure out this is not really a full circle."
