The Ultimate Chill… Hub Culture Retrospectives: Antarctica is a journey without documentary edits or intrusive narration, just majestic timelapse views, stunning soundscapes, and wildlife existing at the pace of nature. Experience the last continent with an electro-ambient score by Aerostatic or the original environment soundtrack

This work documents the last vestiges of a vanishing ecosystem. Shot in the spring of 2005, the backbone of its structure is a series of static camera set-ups that capture a diversity of weather conditions: from subtle cloud movements over pristine glaciers to an inhospitable whiteout over a stretch of snow covered tundra. It is a catalog of a once isolated continent’s fragile yet powerful climate, whose shifts due to human impact have yet to be determined.

AEROSTATIC is Terry Golob and Michele Darling. Based in New York City, they utilize artifacts of sound generated by digital and analog processing in conjunction with a variety of interactive technologies to compose and design audio environments for film, installations and music performance. In approaching Antarctica, the goal was to find the sonic equivalents of ice, wind, snow, water and clouds existing in a sub-zero environment.

Hub Culture is the global urban network of individuals which grew from the 2002 book Hub Culture by Stan Stalnaker, focused on generating positive social action through activation of the network with content, experiences and community building.
