Call from the void, 2025

Wood, artificial plants, video screens

My recent project is a five-screen video installation, built from a single continuous video and displayed through five physically arranged screens. The composition is based on a spatial structure I designed to reflect disconnection — the screens act like fragmented windows, revealing only parts of a whole. It’s not only about what’s shown, but also what’s missing. I have researched how technology and emotions can co-exist. How digital tools can express and mimic human feelings, and how that affects us. I started doing this in 2021 when I started to develop, write code and train an Ai based on my own writings, diary entries, essays, e-mails and notes from notebooks since 2018. My process is often a collaboration between me, and this Ai-version of me. I want to make work that feels like something you remember, but can’t name — like a dream you only remember parts of, or someone you knew but don’t really remember anymore. Something that feels real, but it’s lacking something you can’t name. In order to achieve this I slow down the pace to 0.3, to create hypnotic imagery accompanied by the conversations with the Ai version of myself. The work is currently showing at Bildmuseet in Umeå.
