This is the world.
This is the World (2023)
Video installation, video 3 min duration. 40 blow-up pillows with print.
The work is centred around world-building as a way of imagining other futures and passing on information. I am exploring the gap between text and image, legacy and misunderstanding- maybe here interpreted by another intelligence?
Exposing the bare bones of a world built in the games engine Unreal, a tool I use in most of my projects, I play with the actual construction and artefacts. Exposed with errors and gaps.
An AI-driven voice with various intonations, genders and ages that all say the same sentence and the image and symbols are an interpretation of this.
The work was made as a response to the collective Tenhaus exhibition Bitacora. Made for the Norwegian Drawing Triennial.
We were all given the text “What It Will Be Like” by Claudia La Rocco, which I responded to. The installation is a result of their collective practice and we can see Stah Szumski, Stan d Haene and Trond Hugo Haugen in the installation images.
