Ice Floor was a project about climate change that had been developed by UK born artist Wayne Binitie in collaboration with Arup and the British Antarctic Survey, located in Cambridge. Since 1979 summer sea-ice extent in the Arctic has reduced at 10% per decade. Some major glaciers that drain the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have accelerated by as much as 50%, adding to sea level rise. Binitie’s installation explored the vulnerability of these regions to global warming and how they are subject to conditions like ‘calving’ (large chunks of ice breaking way at random moments).
