Australian Antarctic Division Art Fellowship 19/20

John McCormick and Adam Nash - aka Wild System - were the 2019/20 Australian Antarctic Arts Fellows with the Australian Antarctic Division. They sailed on the final Antarctic voyage of the icebreaker RSV Aurora Australis, collecting data from the ship, the voyage, the scientists, expeditioners and the crew for the entire six week voyage. They used lidar scanning, photogrammetry, drone videography, and ambisonic audio recording, among other methods to capture the energy and activity of the voyage. They also spent time on Mawson and Casey stations in Antarctica, experiencing the icy continent and station life first hand. They collected massive amounts of data and modulated them into various artistic outputs.
