Presentation
CryoScapes: Landscape Painting with Water, Ice, and AI
SessionArt Gallery
DescriptionCryoScapes began during Jiabao Li’s Arctic Circle Artist Residency in Svalbard, inspired by water’s diverse forms—vapor, snow, waves, glaciers, and sea ice. The team developed a 3D ice printing system to create intricate sculptures that evolve with temperature changes. Roaming water droplets freeze on hydrophobic or hydrophilic treated surfaces, forming landscapes that blur the sense of scale, from lunar terrains to microscopic crystalline patterns. A macro camera captures the evolving formations in real time, while AI searches for nature-like patterns and composes them into Haiku-inspired poems. As CryoScapes travels to different cities, it co-creates with local conditions—temperature, humidity, and water mineral content—blurring the line between the artificial and the natural.
