At the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), researchers, led by Francesca Pellicciotti, explore glaciers that seem to defy global warming.
At the first Vienna Climate Biennale, ISTA is now taking the opportunity to give the field of glacier and hydrosphere research a stage and, in collaboration with artists, to thematize their research results and the accompanying findings.
From April 5 to May 18, the exhibition walking on rolling stones can be seen at the Galerie rauminhalt in Vienna’s 4th district – a collaborative exhibition that aims to foster the exchange between science, art, design and technology.
With the artists Céline Ducret, Martin Heynen and Patrick Hari, we delve into our complex emotions in times of uncertainty, and tells the story of what it means to measure new realities step by step, as the world shifts beneath our feet.
In doing so, they encounter stories of computer models, remote sensing devices, abstractions, hope, defiance and trust – across multiple research institutions and even continents.
The exhibitions are supported by photographs by Jason Klimatsas and Eduardo Soteras who accompanied the research group on their travels and many breathtaking moments.
Growing glaciers: Can we dare to hope?
Exploring research, emotions, and complex realities – ISTA invites to taking steps forward, with a critical gaze on our landscapes and prospects.
