Philosophy
My work uses
the media of video,
light, smell and new technologies
for screen, installation,
artefacts and live performance,
as well as painting.
My concerns
are with cross-sensory
perception and the uncharted
territories of the senses.
While exploring
the immediate offerings of
the senses I’m particularly
interested in the effects
of developing
technologies which are developing an extrasensory
or subsensory
awareness.
My intersensory
art practice is about breaking
the boundaries of perception.
It includes
interpretations,
misinterpretations and adjustments
made according to intelligent
guesses,
assumptions, estimations
and associations, while we
are training in communications
to assist
the transfer of
knowledge without technologies.
My question,
as
similarly expressed
by
Odland, B & Auinger,
S
(2007) in Requiem
for
Fossil
Fuels,
is...
Who
are
we and
what are
we becoming?
