Rhythm is everywhere. It is breathing and beating hearts; it is the sound of a drum and the repetitive carved lines in stone done by a prehistoric human being. It is the flickering screen and a million digital processes too small to see. It is engraved in the depth of our minds and bodies. It is remembering.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, rhythm (Greek rhythmos, derived from rhein, “to flow”) is an ordered alternation of contrasting elements, and according to Roland Barthes both painting and writing started with the same gesture, one which was neither figurative nor semantic, but simply rhythmic.
In this exposition we are approaching rhythm through contemporary artistic and archaeological gestures, starting with some engraved and painted lines drawn by our stone age ancestors in France and South Africa.
The participants are all from the artisitc research project: Matter, Gesture and Soul, which is based at the Art Academy in Bergen.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
The exposition deals with methodological and ethical issues for the ART/ograph within the artistic research project "Blindsone" ("Blind spot").
The project is developed as a The Cultural Schoolbag-production with an emphasis for Devised Theatre.
The target group is upper secondary education.
The production has purposes within the Norwegian language, aesthetic learning processes and intercultural pedagogy.
The exposition is explained through 11 parts, in addition to references, photos and a film.

Keywords: Sound Art, Sound-Space, Resonance, Sonic Ambiences, Interdisciplinarity.
This exposition aims at sharing a “cross-border” exploration between sonic and spatial research fields. These are traditionally presented and understood as distinct knowledge areas, e.g. Sound Art, Sound Architecture, Sound Design, etc. However, they are intimately connected in experiential and practice-based terms.
A number of referential sound pieces have been chosen here in order to survey this in-between sound-space territory. Each piece prompts a micro-study that reflects on specific interdisciplinary traits. The purpose is to reveal common components and characteristics, parallel or symmetric processes in sound-space disciplines. To that extent, the micro-studies focus on transversal concepts and methods such as resonance, listening, sonic space, sonic ambiences, graphic scores and the materiality of sound, among others.
These referential cases are presented in dialogue with collective and individual sound-space explorations that the author has performed as a researcher, pedagogue and practitioner. All these materials are presented in a non-linear open form in which the visitor is encouraged to choose different paths and to establish own connections among the exposed cases and examples, including his/her own references and pieces.
An intended contribution of this exposition is to nurture a culture of openness at disciplinary boundaries, promoting fertile contagions among in-friction practice and research areas.
