What happens at Earth’s poles affects us all; combined, they are our planet’s thermostat. Loss of ice in these places has a direct impact on our seas globally; and weather, perhaps the principal consideration for all who go to sea, becomes increasingly unpredictable.

This generative artwork explores global warming and ice-melt, with the 2025 Tall Ships Races as an anchor.

David Cass is a painter best known for his abstract representations of sea. He graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2010 and divides his time between the UK & Europe. He has exhibited internationally, including at Venice Biennale and four COP climate summits, generating new engagement and accessible discourse.

Co-commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts and New Media Scotland’s Alt-w Fund with investment from Creative Scotland.
