Cold has always been of fundamental importance to human culture,
but it was not until the industrial age that possibilities of
artificial cooling were invented which are taken for granted today.
However, colling was also accompanied by new possibilities for
gaining knowledge. The frozen movement became a metaphor for
technical still life, and without cryogenics, there would be no
modern computing and imaging processes. Such possibilities of
ice-cold observation are contrasted by losses of visibility, due to
frost or precipitation, just as the artificial lowering of
temperatures fuels climate change precisely through its energy
consumption. Cooling technology is reaching new lows and highs in
every respect - with extensive consequences for knowledge and
perception.
