Landscape/mindscape/langscape: The ephemerality of the digital and of the real in Marlene Creates’s video-poems for ice and snow
Abstract The present essay aims at illustrating Marlene Creates’s web project Brickle, nish, and knobbly (2015), as a key example of Eco-Digital Humanities.

The archive is also an open instrument for everybody’s use: a digital audio-visual (poetic) dictionary, that ultimately functions as a challenge to climate change effects, that might dissolve both the ice formations and the language that accompanies them.
