The very best of Ars Electronica 1979 - actual
SGM - Iceberg Probe
The SGM Iceberg Probe has been designed to allow the user to “penetrate” layers of ice and visually explore underground realms threatened by global warming and multicultural business interests.

The main aim of this probe is the investigation of subterranean icebergs located beneath ice skating rinks and other areas. With the SGM Probe (SubGlacialis Montometer), subterranean lifeforms and ecosystems can now be studied directly in their natural environment. The probe line (50 meters long) disappears into the seemingly endless depths and functions as a sensitive interface between two worlds.

A playful interface, like a sleight-of-hand trick, provides an entry into “deep” issues. By combining sophisticated hardware and software technology, this ground-breaking location system facilitates research of subterranean icebergs and search activity through the strata. The SGM Iceberg Probe is an explorative device and video-installation with a sculptural extension into the depth.
