In this brief film, hear from the artist and scientists involved in its creation. (Recorded in September 2021). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition features an original glass sculpture encasing Antarctic air from the year 1765 \u2013 the date that scientists say predates the Industrial Revolution \u2013 and an Antarctic ice core containing trapped air bubbles that reveal a unique record of our past climate. Locked deep in Antarctic ice is a unique archive of the Earth\u2019s history reaching back 800,000 years. Tiny bubbles of air that were trapped as snow fell reveal the astonishing rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide since the start of the Industrial Revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more from artist Wayne Binitie, Arup Fellow Graham Dodd, and BAS Glaciologist Dr Robert Mulvaney. Polar Zero is a science-art collaboration between artist Wayne Binitie (Royal College of Art), scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and engineers and designers from Arup, supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The exhibition launched at Glasgow Science Centre, October 2021, for COP26.<\/p>\n\n\n                <div class=\"related-content\">\n                        <div class=\"container\">\n                <h2><\/h2>\n                <div class=\"content-carousel swiper-container\">\n                    <ul class=\"content-carousel__wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                                                    <li class=\"content-carousel__item swiper-slide\">\n                                    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/the-greenhouse\/british-antarctic-survey-data-as-art-polar-aesthetics\/\" class=\"grid-list__item\">\n    <img width=\"610\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/02\/va-610x340.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>    <div class=\"grid-list__content\">\n        <ul class=\"grid-list__terms\"><li class=\"grid-list__restriction grid-list__restriction--13andover grid-list__restriction--1\">\n                        13 and over\n                    <\/li><li style=\"background-color:#835fa5;\" class=\"climate-change\">Climate Change<\/li><\/ul>        <h3>British Antarctic Survey: Data as Art<\/h3>        <div class=\"event-date\">\n            <!-- event date -->\n            <span class=\"event-date__item\">\n                            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span>Data as Art is a series of dramatic and powerful artworks that are visually engaging and help to explain complex science and their importance.<\/span>    <\/div>\n<\/a>                                <\/li>\n                                                                                                                <li class=\"content-carousel__item swiper-slide\">\n                                    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/the-greenhouse\/ice-core-research-gallery-british-antarctic-survey\/\" class=\"grid-list__item\">\n    <img width=\"610\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/curiousabout.glasgowsciencecentre.org\/ourplanet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/02\/10006700-610x340.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>    <div class=\"grid-list__content\">\n        <ul class=\"grid-list__terms\"><li class=\"grid-list__restriction grid-list__restriction--8andover grid-list__restriction--1\">\n                        8 and over\n                    <\/li><li style=\"background-color:#835fa5;\" class=\"climate-change\">Climate Change<\/li><li style=\"background-color:#ed6c58;\" class=\"research\">Research<\/li><\/ul>        <h3>British Antarctic Survey: Ice Core Research Gallery<\/h3>        <div class=\"event-date\">\n            <!-- event date -->\n            <span class=\"event-date__item\">\n                            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span>This gallery shows the process of retrieving and analysing ice cores to taking clues from the past to help predict our climate future.<\/span>    <\/div>\n<\/a>                                <\/li>\n                                                                        <\/ul>\n                    <div class=\"swiper-nav\">\n                        <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        ","protected":false},"featured_media":2265,"template":"","events_category":[42,47],"acf":{"age_restriction":["13 and over"],"start_date":"2022-05-13 16:45:07","header_before":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Polar Zero - Curious About Our Planet Preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sq2Ev0h8EGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"header_after":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Polar Zero - Curious About Our Planet Preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sq2Ev0h8EGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"short_description":"Artist and sculptor Wayne Binitie\u2019s immersive exhibition, Polar Zero, explores the past, present and future of our relationship with the planet and its climate.
