Dial-a-Glacier

Artist Katie Paterson has created an alleged artwork consisting of a phone line hooked up to a microphone that is recording the sparse sounds of a glacier melting.
Paterson was inspired by a fever-induced hallucination that the water she drank was making her part of the glacier. Only one caller can get through at a time, so that each can experience a "one-to-one beautiful and intimate moment" with the glacier. Calls are charged at international rates.
The Shrillary campaign was delighted to learn that moonbats are capable of connecting emotionally with chunks of ice.
Also in danger of melting — if someone splashes her with a bucket of water.
On a tip from V the K.
