CryoScapes: Landscape Painting with Water, Ice, and AI Jiabao Li, Ziyuan Jiang, Kuan-Ju Wu, Yasuaki Kakehi, 2025 https://www.jiabaoli.org/cryoscapes Cryoscape began during my Arctic Circle Artist Residency in Svalbard, inspired by water’s diverse forms—vapor in the clouds, snowflakes in the sky, liquid waves in the ocean, the warmth of hot water in my hand, and the solid majesty of glaciers and sea ice. Each phase of water reveals distinct morphologies. We are all connected through bodies of water. We developed a 3D ice printing system to create intricate sculptures that evolve with temperature changes. Surface treatments, including hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials, guide the water’s behavior. The interaction of water with these surfaces produced wildly different structures—some resembling lunar landscapes, others evoking the snowy expanses of Hokkaido, the crystalline intricacies of microscopic images, or even the forms found in Noguchi Playgrounds or the paintings of Kåre Tveter. A macro camera captures these formations in real-time, while AI interprets them into Haikus. Cryoscape evolves as it travels to different cities. In Alaska, Tokyo, Austin, and beyond, the humidity, temperature, air quality, and water calcium uniquely to the city shape the ice sculptures, making each iteration site-specific and collaborative with nature. The 3D ice printing technique has potential applications in fields like tissue engineering, microfluidics, and soft robotics. Ice, as a biocompatible material, can serve as a temporary support structure for 3D printing, easily melting away after use to enable precise and adaptable designs.
