Criosfera by Giulia Foscari UNA / UNLESS
Criosfera is therefore a synthesis of optical, material and scientific knowledge which translates into a manifesto of values between the present and the future.
Criosfera, the cryosphere, encompasses all components of the Earth System that are frozen. 90% of such ice is in Antarctica. That same ice is the largest repository of data on our climate history. It is a time capsule that enables scientists to trace the climatic history of our planet, extracting from captive air bubbles trends of CO2, greenhouse gasses and temperature from past glacial and interglacial eras.
The quintessential marker of climate change is thus the Ice Core, a cylinder of stratified ice extracted from the depths of our planet’s ice sheets. The ice core thus becomes the element that creates awareness and calls to action.
Lights on. It’s action time."

It contains the measured perfection of optical extrusion whose section diffuses the light without making the sources inside visible. This element is suspended, horizontal or vertical, or fits into the space with three different essential structures, which refer to the scientific instruments used to extract and analyze ice cores.
