Glitter cloud
In winter settings, glitter clouds are often seen at sunset or sunrise as streaks of light and spectacular glow of color in the sky. Glitter clouds consist of a number of tiny ice crystals bathed in sunlight even though the ground is dusky or pitch dark. The ice crystals bend sunlight to varying degrees and the result is reminiscent of a soaring oil slick, a shimmering pearl, a shiny shell or sparkling sugar; the cloud is white but also yellow, red, green and blue. Colorful spots travel around the stratosphere but settle on surfaces at the surface of the earth when grabbing a camera that gives wonder into the world of social media and computer technology. Their brilliance fascinates but is also interpreted as a harbinger of great news, such as winter hardness or warming.
At the graduation exhibition of the Iceland Academy of the Arts 2024, over 70 students from the art department, design and architecture show their work, where they, among other things, deal with the redefinition of the generation house, examine the demonization of natural phenomena, investigate whether it is possible to make high-fashion clothing from Icelandic wool without ever coming close to a sewing machine, experiment with new technologies for visual communication and look for the beauty in the fears of the present. The projects reflect their learning, research and artistic creation in recent years. The graduate students face the challenges of our days - light and darkness, cold and warmth - and the result heralds news.
Iridescence
In the calm of winter, as the sun is rising or setting, mother-of-pearl clouds can sometimes appear as streaks of light and spectacular color doting the sky. These (Nacreous) clouds consensus of many tiny ice crystals that glimmering pearcence, even as the world below may be dim. The ice crystals bend the sun's light to vary degrees and the result is dominant of the disease, "the color of skin" is also traveling by the heart of the disease, and blue.
At the 2024 graduation exhibition of Iceland University of the Arts, 77 students from the Departments of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture - will show their work, where they grapple with, among others, redefining the multigenerational home; studying the demonization of natural phenomena; where it is possible to make haute couture clothing from Icelandic wool without even using a sewing machine; experimenting with new tools in order to communicate information visually; and finding the sublimation in these precarious times. The projects reflect their studies, research and artistic creation over the past years, both the animals and animals.
