It extends earlier research into time-lapse visualisation begun during the ARC funded Derwent Project, which created new aesthetic models for representing multilayered landscapes over time, that convey layered information with clarity and impact. This project developed new methods of recording and visualising time-lapse imagery, both by adapting prior methods to the extreme Antarctic environment, and by refining temporal and spatial sample rates to improve image quality and image flow.

Custom software was designed to organise, collate, manipulate and output the time-lapse imagery with incorporated wind-speed and temperature data, as video. This visualisation represents an entire Antarctic summer at Mawson Station. It shows the rhythms of daily station life under the constant daylight of the austral summer from early December 2017 until early February 2018. The work represents a highly innovative method for visualising the relationships between real-time environmental data and its expression through the photographic representation of local phenomena undergoing change. The time-lapse aspect of the research has so far led to the development of two major works.
