stacks of bunk beds, lines of hanging clothes, and canvases encrusted with sawdust to examine the systemic abstraction of the world we live in, and its role as a metaphor for social and political reality.
During two different research expeditions, in the mid - to late springs
of 2010 and 2012, the AUV — which resembles a 2 - meter - long
bunk bed with twin hulls
stacked on top
of one another — traveled back and forth through several different Southern Ocean waters in a lawn mower — like pattern at depths
of 20 to 30 meters under the ice to collect a 3D survey
of the topography
of the sea ice's underbelly.
