How can we mediate and embed scientific findings into new narrations? And what contingency, what order, will these narrations have? Starting from their extensive research on ice cores, artist Susan Schuppli and paleoclimatologist Liz Thomas will reflect on the processification of ice and its situated material condition in evidence-based research. They will discuss the procedures of “continuous flow analysis” as well as their practical and epistemic preconditions that help to read climate developments into the past and future.
