Sudoku Representing Non-Knowledge test

December 12th, 2011

Test of ammount of unrecognizable foreign organisation.

Friday I had the pleasure of offering a combination of the well known puzzle sudoku  and a photo safari as entertainment for the annual Christmas party at my job. As a test, it was a great success where many emerged  in the game. Those I talked to are both interested and very critical about what type of game and information they play with.

Can one accept a photograph as a representative of something that is not visible, for example, on the other side of a wall or wall? It is especially relevant when it represents knowledge about being present in a locality. Immediate recognition of foreign  information is possible even with very blurry photos. But it is hard to say to which extent. There still needs to be some kind of logic, the not logic or non-knowledge can hang on to or be connected to.

Immerjung, in cooperation with Jakob Friis

February 17th, 2011

Immerjung research a visualization of grown ups walking one another in a pram suited for the situation. The project offer the experience of being driven around the city while lying down. As a parent an offen thought of exchange of experience, to be able to participate in the perception of a young child from within the pram.

We reach towards the art spectacle and the specific situation where people are open for experiment. The project invite local people and art communities to participate in intervention within local street life. We wish to find the best way to build the pram. We hope to cooperate with a producer of prams, and get access to knowledge about sustainability and maintenance testing. The building process can both be carried out in cooperation with a large company and a small scale team of black smiths. When finished the prams will be tested, the best routes explored and framework for the project in the city. Security and legal questions will also be taken care of.

There really is nothing like direct communication with the players; it’s a rush.

Open Source and Collaborative Writing of History

February 11th, 2010

After a workshop Nis Rømer and Gillion Grantsaan improves the concept for writing and organizing articles on Wikipedia as art in public and private spaces.

Nis Rømer & Gillion Grantsaan gave a workshop at KUA, Copenhagen university Amager on Open Source and collaborative historywriting. The discussion from the participating art history student was on power structures. Who are administrators, why was this article on the garden in Peder Lykke Centeret suggested deleted or moved. Why do we do this, do we get anything out of it?

After discussing the outcome of our work, we realized it gave a lot of opportunities we didn’t expect a year ago. An article on public art at in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, had been broken up into what is notable on an online free encyklopedia. Some of that left out was more about publict art. So the local art in public (article written in danish) should make sense to art in public in general (article written in english). It means we can start working on a detail, which might be considered notable.

Also we decided to write a bit more about Kai Nielsens Blågårdsplads, and some playgrounds Gillion showed us at Nørrebro. Find available media and get legal permission to publish it under the local license at Wikimedia. Later on we will work on how it is part of public and private spaces. I imagine it is specially through workshops and guided tours we can develop the project from this point. We dont use private and public spaces as functions, but rather as meeting places where we meet other interests, where we don’t know what will happen.

There was one thing we didnt clear out. The workshop was aimed at art historians, mediators in danish. It could be a priority to work with an aim towards the institutional. However art can also be about anything else, and appear in public space. Do we only aim for renegotiations of some consensus within the art sphere? I am afraid it’s not precise to identify the project in opposition to everything outside the imagined white room. The opportunity we got to think of a difference to the idea of art in public came from a wikipedian admin. Im not sure if we ought to deal with mediated reality as either consensus or agonistic.
