Embodied Encounters at the Site of Deep Ecology

published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
Based on process philosophy and ecological philosophy, the project explores ecological awareness in the experience of a mountain. The fieldwork takes place at Tvergasteinstjørnet, a mountain area located in Hallingskarven mountain range in southern Norway, over a period of approximately five years.
The research aim is to explore, experience and artistically articulate the mountain. This includes the experience of ecological awareness or the sense of being embedded, being part of and being vulnerable.
This is art- and practice research where knowledge develops in the interplay between theory, practice and art production. Here, the body and the senses are the primary sources of knowledge. Sensibilisation is to enhance the ability to discern and find meaning in the continuously changing nuances of the environment, and this is both method and aim. Diary notes, visuals and sound recordings, together with readings of literature enhance sensibilisation and awarness.
The project explores in what way recording technology, photography, sound and video, facilitates, or distorts awareness of the mountain. Sonic and audiovisual artworks are developed the along the way. The project discusses the use recording technology in a way that enhances ecological awareness. The creative process stimulates reflection and the artistic outcomes contribute to the research findings.

Abstract:
The artistic research project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) explores the topic of correspondence for a new topic in theory and its material in art for the question of creativity in practice.
The artistic research method is an articulation of the spaces a, b, c, d, x, y, which is methodically explored.
"Space x" is a reflection of B.O.D.Y. - the second skin on the subject of correspondence, and "Space y" is a theoretical exploration of the theory of post-feminism.
This artistic research project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) is the research detail and advanced exploration of the artistic research "B.O.D.Y. (2010) - between auditory fiction and body reality.
The art project "B.O.D.Y. - the second skin" (2023) deals with issues of intersemiotic transposition in the transformative processes between different artistic media.

Ephemeral Traces

"Ephemeral Traces" is an interactive performance and art installation that explores the temporal nature of visual perception through the manipulation of the scanning process. Challenging the conventional notion of time in photography, the artist employs a scanner as an artistic tool, generating visual "timelines" that capture the fleeting essence of the present moment. By intervening in the scanning process, the artist distorts time, stretching, compressing, and fragmenting everyday objects into ephemeral traces of light and form.
These temporal distortions are projected in real-time onto a white wall, transforming it into a dynamic canvas. Accompanied by a carefully curated soundtrack, the projected images create an immersive aesthetic experience that invites viewers to contemplate the fluidity of time and its impact on our understanding of reality. "Ephemeral Traces" seeks to engage the viewer in a dialogue about the ephemeral nature of time, the role of technology in shaping our perception, and the artistic potential of the mundane. Through the interplay of light, sound, and movement, the project offers a unique and evocative exploration of the fleeting moments that constitute our lives.
