InsideOut

Involved as sound artist in the real-time media performance InsideOut. It is a project by Edit E. Vizer and Sofie Lauritsen and will be displayed September 3.2010 at Platform4 as a part of the Culture Night.

"InsideOut is a real-time multimedia performance/installation based on elementary phenomenological studies where re-acting bodies are playing together. In this live art installation the performing body will be the focal point of the a re-active environment where waves formed by the physical and psychological (furthermore the social) body will be transmitted to be the main material for an experimental play with sounds and visual elements."

APPARAT.Lab

A part of the four-person group organizing and curating the new festival Apparat which will take place at Platform4.

"Four days in October Platform4 will be transformed into a special experimental space with installations, live performances and workshops. Several artists and artist groups from the field of sound, visual and performative arts will be hosted by the festival, where they all will present some new works and create other ones in co-operation with local participants."
