Arctic Stories: Time Tells

Please use headphones for best listening experience

2023, video and acoustic, Yellowknife and Fairbanks

In collaboration with permafrost scientists Kelsey Nyland, Nickolay Shiklomanov, and Dmitri Streletskiy.

Through sound and video, this project explores paths and roads in the arctic towns of Yellowknife, Canada and Fairbanks, Alaska. These roads have been intensely affected by the thawing of the permafrost beneath them. These impacts of a dramatically changing arctic can also be seen reflected in the broader ecosystem.

In Arctic Stories: Time Tells, the recorded acoustics caused by driving on these devastated and collapsed roads are as prominently experienced by the viewer as the video footage revealing these changes.
