There's much debate on the causes of climate change. Scientists, politicians and opinion leaders all take the stage to present their vision or ideas. However, cool(E)motion is not focused on the possible causes of climate change. We merely note that the climate is changing, whatever the cause. Let's now focus on what this means for the Arctic. And more specifically, what will happen to traditional culture, when hunters can't trust the ice, when seals disappear and wheater condition deteriorate?

Cool(e)motion urges those in power to focus on the cultural effects of climate changes. We seek attention for this message by creating giant sculptures on ice bergs that will float when spring comes. This way, the sculptural 'hunters' can search for new hunting grounds for people in the Arctic.

Our documentary film: 'IceBerg Riders'

This weekend we worked at our film. Svebor, our director of edit, worked for months to view and edit 100's of hours of film, and has to reduce it to a 52 mnts doc. Believe me: To fullfill a project like this, you need skills that origin from out of this world. The rough edit will be completed in 1 month, and in this stage I already can announce that this unique and exciting story will rock the world. A team of excellent filmers/photographers worked for 4 years to get all shots and interviews. As everybody knows I believe in spontanious actions , less as possible organisation, of course no script, which all together will prove that a setting like this, that drived many people around me to madness, can lead to a completely unexpected but briliant result. Of course thanks to the help of a great and enthusiastic team!
