Inland

Longing – Fast Forward

Is a long-term art project with the people living on the edge of the Greenland inland-ice.

From May 2012 we will set up an automated research station, monitoring 360°, throughout the circle of one year. Based on performative experiments with local participants and structural collection of video and sound, the recordings will shape a large scale audio-visual installation, showing the current inner / human and outer / environmental change of pace.

Video Triptych

Ole Kristensen and Annesofie Norn, Vinter 2010

This video installation was made to complement the rerun of Frost, a modern dance performance, in Dansehallerne, Copenhagen.

In the summer of 2009 I travelled up the coast of Nothwestern Greenland with Annesofie Norn in preparation for our project ‘Longing Fast Forward‘. This video installation is based on the footage from this research trip.

Frost and Longing Fast Forward are related. I had just returned from Greenland when the choreographer Tina Tarpgaard called me to ask if I could join Frost as software artist – I accepted along with Jonas Jongejan – and we set to work immediately. The performance theme was melting and freezing and the experiences in Greenland inspired quite a share of my work with the interactive scenograpy.

About

As software artist i create computer programmed interactive art. My work combines installation art, audiovisual set design, modern dance, graphic design and performance art.

Through developing digitally controlled setups – often with firsthand written open source software – one of my main interests lies in participating in new and challenging creative spaces for artistic practices and research, ranging from large-scale media-based installations to theatre and dance productions.

In addition to my auto-didactic approach to knowledge and hands on experience, i hold a bachelor in Interactive Media. I thrive in experimental research environments where there is room for exchanging both crazy, grand or silly ideas. Whether it be with other artists, specialized geeks, academics, the local politician or a passersby.

Keeping curiosity alive is a priority for me. Why’s are complex, and there is enough stuff for the curious in that for at least several thousand eternities. The best school has so far been Christiania, trying to learn why people cluster and act the way they do. To believe that outcomes have reasons that i can never know in their entirety is enough to me. I'd rather wonder if a newborn does not know itself from it's surroundings than put my faith in stories about good vs. evil, a supreme being, the immutable order of things, or fate.
