Antarctic animation:
expanding perceptions
with gesture and line
A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,

Antarctica is the focus of research for many scientists and artists. As a place laid bare to the elements, Antarctica allows for measurements of climate change to be made (on the ground and remotely) without the usual physical distractions. Antarctica allows for an expanded sense of our place in the world.
Animation is the visual language of change and transformation. In this work, animated gestures and lines connect climate change data to human experience.
