Here are some “accident” images while making the installation Luminous Forest. Sometimes the best shots are when something unexpected happens. My favorite is the one above, a light rainbow!
This installation blends analog (an overhead projector and shadows created on it) and digital (the capture of the image from the projector and projecting it in the opposing wall). The result is an immersive installation where you can play with the light and shadows on the space surrounded by this luminous forest, while someone else…
In collaboration with Annelise, we created an installation made with found objects. We wanted to explore how the layering of objects in a space can create both depth in the arrangement of the objects, and a surprising image as the shadow of all these objects combined. At first it seemed an easy idea, just to pile…
Curious about light, color and shadows together with Birgitte and Annelise, we decided to explore our movement with additive light. We used photo filters in red, green and blue paired with spotlights to create our sources of “colored light!. We then directed them towards a white wall, and by adding these RGB lights we got…
In order to test out colored light and reflections, Annelise, Birgitte (research fellows at Oslo National Academy of the Arts) and myself created a model for an installation. We experimented first with colored mirrors and reflections. To do so, we placed colored acetates (photography filters) on top of circular mirrors. We used spotlights to direct…
I’ve found out that when I can’t quite figure out how something works, I’m intrigued and become curious. This curiosity then leads to play, and for me, to be immersed in an activity, an object or a space. I read about an art piece in the 70’s called Going Around the Corner Piece by Bruce…
I was invited to give a workshop on Play at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (Khio) in the Autumn of 2013. In this workshop, I started by giving a brief talk on play and how it can be an important part of the design process. Afterwards, I facilitated materials (cardboard props) in which teams of students…
In the Autumn of 2013 I gave a Holistic Mapping workshop at the Norwegian Academy of Music (NMH) in Oslo. The students at NMH have a creative laboratory seminar every week, in which invited artists, designers, and creatives come to explore creativity and find new ways of looking into their practice. This time, I facilitated…
Play can change behavior for the better. It can bring the extraordinary out of the everyday and we can gain new perspectives from the world around us. Play can help us think in a different way, and as designers, come to better creative solutions. Maziar Raein and I gave a workshop on Play at the Norwegian…
I ran a workshop centered on design process as part of my Master’s. I got my class to help me out and together, we designed a situation, product or service. In order to do so, in teams, we would pick one word from three categories in the board, blindfolded. Then, we sketched and brainstormed ideas according to…
