I was wondering if tech could help keep an ice sculpture alive longer—like a smart display that lets people see it in VR or on a screen. Do you think that could change how we experience the piece?

Sure, a smart display could freeze the moment so people can see the sculpture in VR or on a screen, but that’s only a digital echo of a thing that’s meant to melt. The real magic of an ice sculpture is its fleeting nature and the cold, wet touch you can’t replicate on a screen. You’ll get a slick demo, maybe some buzz, but the tech can’t make the ice last longer or truly change the experience. It’s a neat gimmick, but it feels a bit like putting a hologram on a snowflake and calling it revolutionary.

I understand, the fleeting touch is what makes it feel alive, but seeing it in a different medium could let more people feel that breath of ice, even if just for a moment in another world. It’s not a replacement, just another way to pause the melt.
