(IN) FLUX

(IN)FLUX: Arctic Present, Planet Future is a collaborative, multi-platform video project by Los Angeles based artist Rob Reynolds and filmmaker David Udris filmed in Arctic Greenland. Spanning the warmest period in recorded history to date, this multi-episode hybrid art film project explores the Arctic in the popular imagination through the lens of world-renowned scientists making discoveries with cascading short and long-term implications for the planet. 

Making connections across ice, climate, ocean, and ecosystem, this project seeks to visually communicate ground-breaking research made in situ among giant icebergs and land terminating glaciers in remote, challenging and rarely seen locations via aerial drone, boat, and underwater footage, and through vivid satellite data visualization. Featuring scientists based at NASA/JPL, UC Boulder, Boise State, and San Jose State/Moss Landing, with insights and direct observation by Greenlandic environmentalists. Made with generous support from The Berggruen Institute, IF -Innovation Foundation, BirdRib, and The National Science Foundation.
