A visual, emotional & conceptual archive of performative installations that anticipated the LGP Method's integrative logic. This article presents a series of digital collages created through the daily reworking of personal archives—photos, performance records, and installations. These images are not final works but affective documents in motion. They explore the blurred boundaries between memory, artwork, and archive. This visual practice is part of the ongoing evolution of the LGP Method, showing how transformation and process are central to its structure. After the method's formalization, a new identity—New Art—emerged, emphasizing mobility, reinvention, and the spiritual-emotional dimension of creative work. This archive also acknowledges the valuable collaborations with artists, performers, and institutions who engaged with different stages of the process, activating the method from multiple perspectives.

This thesis explores the layered and often ambiguous relationship between place, memory, and history in the southwest region of Poland, with particular attention to the city of Wrocław. Combining site-specific observation with theoretical reflection, it examines how everyday encounters with neglected, transitional, or repurposed spaces contribute to a sense of familiarity and belonging in a region shaped by post-war displacement, political upheaval, and economic transformation. Through examples such as a stadium which kept on changing its role, remnants of wartime infrastructure, and viral online videos captured in forgotten environments, the research investigates how traces of the past persist outside institutional archives and dominant historical narratives. Drawing on thinkers including Yi-Fu Tuan, Paul Connerton, and Henri Lefebvre, the thesis emphasizes the importance of lived experience, spatial practice, and the subtle cues embedded in the landscape. Rather than presenting a fixed interpretation of history, the work advocates for a more nuanced, open-ended approach—one that recognizes the complexity of the past as it is revealed through the overlooked, the accidental, and the intimately familiar.

NORSK: I dette kunstneriske utviklingsarbeidet undersøker jeg hvordan norsk folkemusikk kan integreres i mitt etablerte musikalske sound. Gjennom lytting, refleksjon og skapende praksis har jeg latt tradisjonsmusikkens estetikk og uttrykk påvirke mitt eget formspråk. Arbeidet har resultert i albumet "Relasjonsorkester", der jeg utforsker møtepunktene mellom tradisjon og samtid i tre utvalgte låter: "Hei, hallo", "Tankerom" og "Langsiktig sparing". Prosessen har vist at respektfull lytting, tilegning av teoretisk kunnskap og bevisste kunstneriske valg er avgjørende for å forankre nye uttrykk i en levende tradisjon. Oppgaven reflekterer over hvordan tradisjonen kan bli en del av egen kunstnerisk identitet, uten å måtte bli en tradisjonsbærer i klassisk forstand. ENGLISH: This artistic research project explores how Norwegian folk music can be integrated into my established musical sound. Through listening, reflection, and creative practice, I have allowed the aesthetics and expression of folk tradition to influence my own musical language. The project resulted in the album "Relasjonsorkester", where I explore the intersections between tradition and contemporary music through three selected songs: “Hei, hallo”, “Tankerom”, and “Langsiktig sparing”. The process demonstrates that respectful listening, acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and conscious artistic choices are essential for grounding new expressions within a living tradition. The thesis reflects on how tradition can become a part of one’s artistic identity without necessarily becoming a traditional bearer in the conventional sense.

Gjennom denne masteroppgaven utforsker jeg muligheter for å skape en tonalitetsfølelse innenfor dissonante rammer. Prosjektet er et kunstnerisk utviklingsarbeid der jeg utforsker temaet gjennom komposisjon innenfor rammene av Olivier Messiaens Modes of limited transposition. Samtidig vil jeg forsøke å definere tonale sentre innenfor disse for å skape et tonalt uttrykk. Arbeidet skal resultere i et album og refleksjoner tilknyttet komposisjonsprosessen.

Through a series of photographic assemblages that focus on texture, depth, and atmosphere, “The Oracle of Delphi” documents interactions between these assemblages and AI language models. The work demonstrates specific ways that current AI systems struggle to comprehend material qualities and contextual relationships in personal narratives, particularly when dealing with dimensionality, surface qualities, and emotional resonance. By analyzing these limitations, the work reveals the gap between human and machine perception of materiality and affect, while suggesting potential approaches for developing more nuanced human-machine encounters. Through these material encounters and a deliberate “kinking” of established patterns, the work demonstrates how algorithmic systems might be recrafted from processes of reduction into expansive sites of co-creation and possibility.
