Statement
I am an artist from Denmark based in Den Haag in the Netherlands. With a fascination for systems thinking and ecology, my practice unfolds across and within multiple disciplines through computational, generative, autonomous organisms and systems; sonic attention; open-ended compositions; and situated bodies. I engage with relations such as the conceptions of human and nature; art and science; and environmental and social aspects of ecological systems. Often, I employ physical form that engages the senses and the bodily encounter. It is through the sensory apparatus that we experience the world, while the bodily experience is essential to making meaning and sense of our reality.
I explore situations that establish a greater sensitivity towards other life forms, that we in our human-shaped worlds and habits have become so distanced to. Through artistic and scientific methods I aspire to facilitate encounters with other lifeforms or their traces of activities that are beyond our bodily range of perception or simply are not within our habitual mode of attention.
Currently, I question the conceptions of ‘human’ and ‘nature’ through ideas of symbiotic relations and co-evolution in the Master's programme at the Artscience Interfaculty.
The artscience research project explores how symbiotic relations with and within the biological communities in the soil can be sensed by way of bodily listening practices and site specific or ‘hologenomic’ sound installation.
I continuously deepen my artistic practice and strengthen my voice and language to create stories that challenge the major narratives of our time: narratives of modernity, growth, progress, human exceptionalism, and nature as a resource. To me, this means to nurturing empathy, intimacy, listening, empowerment, decision-making, habit awareness, response-ability, and hope through art and aesthetic experiences.
As human beings and more, especially those of us suffering from neoliberalist and capitalist diseases, we need to re-position and re-member ourselves within the social network of planetary ecosystems and adjust to regenerative behaviour.
