Rehearsals for Uncertain Futures is a single screen HD film about a Sea Ice Simulator (SIS) used in climate science to predict and model the impact of black carbon on ice reflectivity. Shot on location within SIS, a series of shipping containers situated in woodland, the work shifts between local ecologies of wildlife and fauna, to the technological manufacture of ice and the energy required to produce and sustain climate data. The film focuses on the interconnections between the lab and field amplifying physical and material practices behind simulation and predictive modeling. It asks how does data become data, where exactly is the field, and what practices of maintenance and care does simulation require?

Commissioned by the Centre for the GeoHumanities at Royal Holloway, University of London as part of Creating Earth Futures. Made in collaboration with filmmaker Daniel Beck and Professor Martin King from the Department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway University of London. The film premiered on at Raven Row Gallery, London. It has since been screened at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Furtherfield Commons, Watermans Art Centre and as part of the UK Green Film Festival at the Lyric Hammersmith in London.
