HOW TO QUITformat: performativ workshop series og digital support groupmaterial: digital experiments in disconnectivity and care, workshops / performances and upcoming publicationdimensions: variableyear: 2018-ongoing

two performative workshops / experiments, as attempts to develop concrete tools to alter, subvert and quit mainstream internet infrastructure and its harmful and depressing routines. An attempt to balance the potentials of the internet with humans needs for intimacy and local community, by focusing on pragmatic tools to actively shape one’s internet usage and aid in digital care towards oneself and others.

The two experiments was a part of the exibition “Shaking the habitual” at |meter| exhibition space in Copenhagen. Here, over a period of four months from March 3rd through June 23rd, 2018, |meter| invited artists, writers and activist groups to join a search for feminist utopian horizons.

During the winter of 2018/2019 the group has been working on a publication documenting the two workshops / experiments. The publication will be released at |meter| space in march 2019.

HARVESTING THE RARE EARTHformat: solo exhibition: overgaden, institute of contemporary art, copenhagenmaterial: video, worms, micro organisms, glass, light, sound, scenographydimensions: variableyear: 2017

"Harvesting the Rare Earth" presents a speculative near-future scenario, where mining companies are using genetically modified micro organisms to harvest rare earth elements from e-waste dumps around the world.

The exhibition positions itself between a futuristic science demo and a dystopic illustration of the ecological consequences of our current necropolitical reality.

CLOUD COMPUTINGformat: solo exhibition, DIAS kunsthal, vallensbæk station, denmarkmaterial: stones, minerals, video, sound, harddrive sculpture, publicationdimensions: variable year: 2016

“One’s mind and the earth are in a constant state of erosion, mental rivers wear away abstract banks, brain waves undermine cliffs of thought, ideas decompose into stones of unknowing, and conceptual crystallizations break apart into deposits of gritty reason.”

Robert Smithson, A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects (1968)

LCD GLITCH MODULESformat: LCD screen sculpturematerial: custom electronics, LCD modules, steel, fluorescent light tubesdimensions: 120cm x 150cm x 20cmyear: 2012-2015

LCD Glitch Modules består af udtjente LCD-skærme, der får nyt liv, når digital signalstøj sendes direkte ind i deres elektroniske kredsløb. Støjen skaber grafiske mønstre og dynamikker, som er unikke for hver enkelt skærm. Der indgår ikke noget video signaler i traditionel forstand i installationen: De grafiske mønstre på skærmen er en direkte konsekvens af videoskærmenes materialitet, deres design og de enkelte komponenter som skærmen består af.

“Silicon, salt, crystals and volts are the primary elements of this initiatic journey into the paranormal where geologies manifest occult waveforms from the earth. Cryptic crystals from the Salzburgian salt-mines have been collected in the misty mountains and are displayed on unique plinths synthesising and amplifying their immemorial din from below. ”
