This is a piece done my Katie Paterson, and it is a phone call that anyone can call and listen to an Icelandic glacier slowly melt away. Paterson has two photos showing how the glacier looked when she started this project and how it looked about a year later.
How would you define this piece in terms of media? I find this piece incredibly interesting and definitely makes a statement. I believe it was put out to the media to make a statement about global warming and trying to express how dire our situation is. She made it very public to the media especially by giving a glacier its very own phone number, so people can even call in a listen to our world slowly falling apart.
