Kunst og videnskab

From 2018 to 2023, I have been part of the metabolic objects project at Medical Museion. As the project has now ended, in this blog post I want to reflect a bit on the twists and turns of the project and revisit some of the core ideas that developed along the way.

What does time mean to you? Is it the ticking of a clock? The rhythm of a dance? The oscillation of a cell?

In my previous blog post, I invited you on a virtual conceptual tour into the imaginary of The Living Room. Today I wish to dwell on the conception of care at museums and propose extending our sense of what it means to care beyond our inclinations to save at all costs. 

The sonic arts have long been fascinated with accessing and revealing phenomena unavailable to direct aural perception. Seeking above, under or altogether beyond our scope of auditory perception – pursuing cries of bats, tectonic rumble, and electromagnetic fields – or merely those sounds inaccessible due to the constraints of time and space, such as vast […]

I forbindelse med den kommende udstilling Verden er i dig har vi brug for at høre fra publikum. Hvad er forbundethed for dig? Hvor vigtig synes du, videnskab er? Foretrækker du historiske objekter eller samtidskunst?

In this blog post, I invite you on an introductory guided tour into the conceptual imaginary of the Living Room at Medical Museion

We are very excited to announce the launch a new pop-up display in collaboration with artist Isabella Martin called Z-Time: The art and science of circadian rhythms. This new display is an opportunity to share the process of developing a collaborative artwork exploring the science of circadian rhythms. The pop-up, created by Isabella Martin and Museion researcher Kristin Hussey, presents the workings of creating a piece of video art responding to the work of chronobiologists at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).

If I told you that I studied circadian rhythms, it probably wouldn’t mean very much to you. What about ‘chronobiology’? The biology part is easy enough, the study of living things, but what about ‘chrono’? These scientific names obscure a simple fact about being human that most of us take for granted – that our daily lives are governed by time.

Vores nye udstilling STOFSKIFTER åbnede i går! Tak til alle dem, der mødte op.  Her er åbningstalen, som kurator og lektor Adam Bencard holdt.
