Lisa Roberts is researching ways of animating the Antarctic landscape as a communitarian response to its texts, working with the notion of animation in its broadest sense of bringing to life, or breathing life into (our understanding) of its changing nature. She believes that working on-line and in dialogue with Antarctic texts, the expeditioners who composed them, and other artists can be a way to imaginatively map Antarctica.

Antarctic Animation is the site of inquiry. Water freezing and melting - with Christine McMillan and Jack Colwell - bridges the fields of Visual Art, Movement Improvisation and Data Visualisation. Animations are being made through human movement, drawing, writing, sound and assemblage, in response to scientific data and poetic texts of Antarctic expeditioners. Animations are revealing cycles and transformations that have been observed and experienced in the Antarctic landscape. Drawing the Antarctic landscape to human scale through human gesture allows for profound connections to be made with changes. There are more animations here, and a blog, maps, and much more on the site.
