Thin Ice by Joseph Smolinski
Joseph Smolinski’s “Thin Ice” is a digital animation that critiques America’s fossil fuel addiction, drawing from childhood memories of trucks sinking through Minnesota’s thawing lakes. With a nod to 80s automotive ads that glamorized toxic masculinity and environmental neglect, Smolinski creates a striking metaphor for the state of the planet, questioning the role of technology and corporate influence in shaping our landscape.
