Artist statement

I am a Norwegian artist, living in the area close to Oslo. Besides working as an artist I am also working as a associate professor at Oslo National Academy of Fine Art.

My artistic research is based on my interest in technology. I see technology as one of the great stories of our times, which needs to be uncovered, examined and analysed. I relate my work to the discourse within technocriticism. The artworks are in the field of installation art. The installations can involve video, sound, animation, photo, found and made objects. The different artworks rarely have one single theme, but always have elements of complexity, diversity and disorder. Whether it is as a strategy, as a expression, or a theme. This is the backdrop for all my works.
