Vatnajokull

Just over a year ago, in December 2009, I found out about Katie Paterson’s Ice Records, a wonderful piece of environmental art. It seems like she has been fascinated by ice, and the sound of it, for a longer period of time, as she made Vatnajokull a year before the Ice Records. 

The telephone number in neon was shown in the gallery, and when visitors would call it they would be directly connected to a mobile phone connected to a microphone and amplifier in Vatnajokull glacier. Wouldn’t it be nice, to just be able to call a place anywhere in the world, not to talk to a person, but to listen to its sound?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?
