In this exposition I invite you to reflect on a part of my artistic research: the screen capture. The aim is to reconsider this little-explored practice by artistically transforming original images through a double variations in post-production. In this artistic research I also use experimental software and unconventional methods to carry out images from videogames. At the same time these methods engage with the European regulations about copyright and American fair use policies. While the extraction of images from three-dimensional, copyright-protected spaces is often restricted, it can sometimes be permitted when used creatively.

What is OASIS? Does it have a spiritual dimension,or is it something temporal that is shaped by social relationships and achieved collectively? It is about the collective, inclusion, a place of relaxation? Does it have to be about proximity between people or a total isolation in a safe domestic environment and introspection? What happens if, within our social fragility, we leave our personal oasis and enter the public realm, where we are exposed under the gaze of others? If we decide to carry with us , even if it means symbolically , our personal domestic objects that make us feel secure and present , as a shield against the uncertainty of the outside world? Is this the answer?

This performance seeks to form visually narratives about gender fluidity, identity, vulnerability, and the sense of the fragmented self in this fast changing world monitored by cameras, frames and the feeling that we are constantly observed . Body is the main research tool, a moving diary. On its surface are imprinted all the stories, desires and fears experienced during the years. They are collected, and then, interpreted kinetically, blurring the boundaries between the material reality, and the reality of the unspoken. A keeper of all the intimate and domestic moments, trying to protect them from the external world. In this journey, Camera obscura is a companion and an opponent.

All Tomorrow´s Parties: post pandemic dancing is an artistic research that undertakes the task of discovering how hiv and aids has affected the Norwegian dance scene in the 1980´s and 1990´s and all the way up until today. Many dancers got infected by the virus, lived with hiv, and died of aids. Who were they? What were they dancing? And what kind of dances would they have danced had they not died too early? By interviewing the survivors, this project aims to map out how the Norwegian dance scene was affected by this pandemic, outline the hole left behind by this generation that disappeared, and try to fill it by creating dances that they could have danced.
