  Dark Matter (last edited: 2021) author(s): Eamon O`Kane, Geir Harald Samuelsen connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  The Irish visual artist Professor Eamon O'Kane is investigating the recent past through a ten-year project at a site in Denmark and is using the archive accumulated from this research as a comparative to the distant past of a Neolithic site, Newgrange in Ireland. O´Kane uses an observation made by Buckminster Fuller where he relates Einstein´s theory of relativity to a deeper understanding of the universe, explaining that when one looks at the night sky one is looking into a type of time machine where it is possible to see stars that have died many thousands of years ago simultaneously with stars which are being born more recently. O´Kane is developing artworks which examine the history of humankind’s relationship to mapping the night sky and the cosmos through mark making and symbols. He compares different approaches throughout the centuries including the stone carvings on passage tombs at Newgrange which date from 3200 BC right up to images of space produced by NASA.

  Inspired by the Austrian philosopher Otto Neurath’s statement from the 1920s, Words divide, pictures unite, and his vision to democratize communication through creating a common visual language, we investigate how visuality can brigde the gaps between people with different cultural and social backgrounds.

  Kelp Spillages (last edited: 2021) author(s): Francisco Trento connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  *** This is a work in progress, not spell-checked and far for deployment.*** In this multimodal essay, I discuss some of the practices and experiences from the first Kelp Congress, part of the Lofoten International Arts Festival (LIAF, 2019). In the context of the festival, I participated in a workshop navigated by Dr Sabine Popp, Kelp Diagramming Collective. Transversally I touch issues regarding non-human agency, intra-action (Barad, 2003), and especially the understanding of the vegetable and algae life as the paradigm for thinking and developing new subjectivities and art (or not) practices, guided by the work of the Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia. This essay was supposed to be presented in a video/online 30-min format during the 11th SAR International Conference on Artistic Research 2020 is organized by the Society for Artistic Research (SAR), Bergen.

  Nomadic Conversations- Cyprus (last edited: 2019) author(s): Johan Sandborg connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  Nomadic Conversations research approach utilities participatory practices, where ideas and decisions develop through a responsive process in order to address both tangible and intangible knowledge. This is organised as interwoven, overlapping and interrelated meeting points, sites for single or multiple field trips. Nomadic Conversations constitutes characteristics of potential instability, conflict, memory of tragedy and repressed history.
