Description: Underwater sculpture, Træna, Nordland, Norway. A site-specific Live artwork that investigates the practical and contextual implications of creating an underwater sculpture in which its "true" form is manifested as an image on an echosounder display.

The 8th Sister

---------------->

Participants: FUNK.CO.UK and Motherboard/ Per Platou and Amanda Steggell.

Description: Collaborative site-specific event in St Mary Magdalene Church and Gardens, Holloway Road, Islington, London. The inner city church hosts a group of asylum seekers. For this event I transformed a plain church window into a lively fresco that shone out at night by projecting video onto the window. Sounds from within the church generate/ animate the imagery.

Production: July 2005. FUNK.CO.UK
Media: Video, 4.36 min

Description: Audio-visual performance for the release concert for Sigyn Fossnes’ latest album at the Nowregian Academy of Music, Lindemansalen, Oslo. I originally commissioned Eraser's Edge in collaboration with Ole Henrik Moe in 1995 for a more traditional dance production. However, it took over 10 years to realise.

Description: Theatre production at Grusomhetens Teater, Scene, Oslo.

For this monologue I designed the live video set-up involving 4 cameras and monitors, the sound-controlled lighting system and the aroma design in a manner that allowed us to improvise with combinations of these elements in relation to the text.

Production: December 2005. Motherboard.

Media: Photo, aroma system.
