GROUND TRUTH traces Lena von Goedeke’s artistic work during her research residency at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden. At the heart of her work is Arctic research, particularly the technologies used there, their potential, and the challenges they present. Her interest focuses both on the ethical and technological aspects of generating representations of the world and on the fragility and transience of material data storage media such as rock, fossils, and permafrost—which she explored in depth during her stay at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden.
