"DROP" is an audiovisual installation that sonifies the era of melting ice through days, months and years. Sonification means that sound is added as a complement to a visual representation to facilitate our understanding of it or to reveal new links in research data. The artwork is based on a data visualization and sonification developed by Baraga and Fraction – a composition in time on the loss of our most valuable natural element – ice.

The dataset used comes from the IMBIE project – a collaboration between scientists supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
