The Drilling Consortium - subterranean and subglacial research from artistic, technological and scientific point of view
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Draft outline of the round table / content:
The drilling consortium will debatte different methods, tools, ethics and aims to approach unknown deep earth and ice territories and their discoveries. The history of the earth is engraved within its very own substance. One just has to unearth them and learn to see and read it. The changing colors within the layers of rock deep down below, the captured million year old athmospheres within million year old ice cores ... once recovered, the history of the earth can be read at as an open book, but every text needs to be decrypted and interpreted to be understood. The drilling consort gathers a group of experts of different fields together, (artistcic , technological, economical and scientific), allowing to share different interpretations of the hidden.
