In residence: April - May 2026

Scott Carroll is a futurist, designer, and award-winning filmmaker whose work explores the intersections of human behaviour, landscape, and narrative—using technology to expand the liminal spaces between them. His films and interactive projects have reached nearly 80 million screens worldwide, through platforms including the BBC, PBS, Arte, EiTB, Warner Brothers, and 20th Century FOX.

Following the acclaimed pilot launch of INSCAPE – The Incubator for Science Collaboration with Arts, People and the Environment with the University of California, Merced at Yosemite National Park, Carroll went on to conceptualise and found Blū Dodo, the first handheld immersive platform for behavioural change in the climate space. His forthcoming film, The History of the Snowman—a mixed animation and live-action documentary inspired by the New York Times bestseller—will explore humanity’s centuries-old fascination with the snowman in the context of climate change, with production beginning in 2026.

A two-time alumnus of the Community of Writers programme and an award-winning journalist, Carroll will also complete a series blending narrative journalism with ecological inquiry for NPR during his Artica residency.

Together with Australian multi-media artist Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger, whom he met during the 2024 Arctic Circle Expeditionary Residency, Carroll will develop The End of Sound—a tactile, multi-sensory installation reimagining how we perceive and interact with sound and sight in the Arctic. By combining Lea’s tactile materiality with Carroll’s cinematic storytelling and spatial design, the work creates an intimate dialogue between human agency and the fragile Arctic ecosystem. The installation invites participants to move beyond passive observation, engaging the senses to inspire deeper reflection on climate change, perception, and ecological responsibility.
