Balloons along traditional hunting trails act as way-finding devices and suggest a soft network between remote communities while simultaneously collecting widespread data
Buoyant Light
By Claire Lubell and Virginia Fernandez
A cluster activates the space outside the Northern Store while also measuring changes in permafrost around building foundations. New street lighting improves safety at night.
Community members gather on the ice on a winter night to watch the youth of Artcirq perform.
The visual impact of the balloon begins to disappear in spring. Fisherman can access the equipment for maintenance checks after the long winter.

Fascinating project showing how art, light, and community data visualization can support remote Arctic life and cultural engagement—very inspiring work on social impact through creativity. In a similar way, digital experiences like the game Slice Master at https://slicemaster.net/ bring people together through play and community feedback, highlighting how interactive media can also connect diverse audiences and spark cross-disciplinary dialogue. brkt.orglinhlinh1 · Dec 22, 25 4:15 am
