Exchange on Melting Narrations
How can we mediate and embed scientific findings into new narrations? And what contingency, what order, will these narrations have? In this session recorded during Unearthing the Present, artist Susan Schuppli and paleoclimatologist Liz Thomas draw upon their extensive research on ice cores to reflect on the processification of ice and its situated material condition in evidence-based research. They discuss the procedures of “continuous flow analysis” as well as their practical and epistemic preconditions that help to read climate developments into the past and future.
