Artistic practices
Once in a while I record interviews with co-students at the academy and other artists. I run the audio files through the Ntnu developed Speech-to-text application. The txt files becomes an archive that serves a variety of purposes.
To have the conversation
To reread conversations. From chaotic improvised to settled and grammatised.
The machine interpretation transforms the conversation by its trascription and translation, in a way that changes the authorship. Relieves it from dialogue betwee two I's. Errors create new meaning. the translation also adds to a nuanced understanding of the terms.
A sense of what is talked about.
A dialogue, intrview setting can create a poignancy where, and timing also demands
To learn from and revisit various topics

From Genalguacil to Tynset, Via Norway and Scotland.
In july 2025 I participated in Innovation Encounter at the Lab Genalguacil, as part of a mixed student contigent from Trondheim Academy of Arts and GSA Highland campus.
In October 2025 we'll follow up with a trip to Tynset

MAPPING CYBERNETICS FEEDBACKloops
Although Norbert Wiener presented cybernetics as the science of control and communication ‘in the animal and the machine’, for Ludwig von Bertalanffy cybernetics remained a rather limited discipline; it was one specific if important form of ‘general systems theory’.48 The great contribution of cybernetics, according to Bertalanffy, had been the model of feedback regulation in both technology and biology – in the latter, homeostasis can be explained by the feedback model. Like cybernetics, systems theory has an implicit ideal of homeostasis, of equilibrium. The living organism manages to overcome entropy and achieve a ‘fantastically improbable state’ of equilibrium because it is an open system that can regulate its relations with the environment through negative feedback.49 The success of systems theory in the 1960s and the rise of the ecological movement towards the end of the decade also went hand in hand with the popularization of the term ‘ecosystem’, coined by Arthur Tansley, and the ecosystem is a concept that puts a premium on stability and equilibrium.50
But, as we have argued of cybernetics, systems theory in general can also be pushed from the inside to a point where it becomes dialectical. Hans Haacke’s work from the 1960s and early 1970s is a case in point. Like Burnham, Haacke was interested in technological as well as natural real-time systems, as opposed to the idealist duration of traditional art and its appreciation.51 Most of his 1960s works dealt with natural – physical or biological – systems. In 1969, one of Haacke’s pieces involved Dan Graham chucking one hundred plastic bottles into the North Saskatchewan river. While Haacke’s original idea had called for glass bottles, and these contained notes and were meant to be found, obviously not all were fished out of the water or washed ashore, and apparently the substitution of plastic for glass did not raise any concerns.52 Other pieces, such as Live Random Airborne Systems, which involved seagulls retrieving bread that Haacke had thrown into the sea, were understated and lighthearted (non-)events.53 By 1972 the work had taken on an explicitly political dimension: Rhinewater Purification Plant, shown in Essen, was a fishtank filled with filtered water from the heavily polluted Rhine. ‘Open systems’ for Bertalanffy were still conceptualized in terms of homeostasis; both ‘the dynamic interplay of processes’ that regulate the organism on a basic level and superimposed feedback mechanisms aim at this. The Rhinewater Purification Plant is in fact an open system creating homeostasis, but is itself dependent on electricity and thus implicated in a political economy that destroys not only social fabrics but also ecologies in order to stabilize itself. The term ‘purification’ may make some people feel uncomfortable, but the German Aufbereitung (the original title being the rather wonderful compound word Rheinwasseraufbereitungsanlage) is rather more neutral in this regard.
