404

404 is a collaborative exhibition documenting how climate change is reshaping Arctic landscapes. Developed through fieldwork in northern Alaska, the project draws on photography, LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, stereoscopic imagery, and other geospatial tools to record areas where thawing permafrost is altering land, infrastructure, and coastal environments.

The work emerges from participation in a federally funded research project focused on Arctic infrastructure and environmental change. These tools, typically used for scientific measurement, are translated into visual and spatial forms that allow visitors to experience environmental data as an environment rather than as numbers alone.

The exhibition does not attempt to speak for the land or the communities represented. Instead, it reflects on what it means to encounter a landscape through the tools and constraints of climate research. It considers how environmental change is observed, how data is governed, and how knowledge moves through institutional systems that do not always remain accountable to the places they describe.
