If “landscape art can only represent the void and architecture only simulate” (Fox, 2000;52), what can landscape animation do?
Local wastelands and discarded objects can simulate one perception of Antarctic landscape.
That Antarctica is such a void is just a human view. It teams with microscopic life.
Is representing Antarctica as void another ‘terra nullius’ ploy, to care not for what’s living there, and take what we think we need?
Animation brings to life. It does not set on canvas or rest in stone, forgotten in some collection.
