GLACIES LIQUOR #1 | Arctic Ice Transition
This graphic poster visualizes Arctic sea ice conditions by superimposing data recorded on September 1st annually from 1979 to 2023, utilizing sea ice concentration measurements from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). By focusing on this period when Arctic sea ice coverage reaches its minimum extent, the visualization captures trends and fluctuations in ice coverage through a compelling visual narrative.
Each piece is part of a worldwide limited edition of 900 posters, authenticated through an embedded NFC tag carrying a unique serial number.
