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.

The Living Room eksisterede som et eksperimentelt forsknings- og udstillings-projekt i et lille støvet rum i museets kælder. Nu tager vi afsked med The Living Room, men mens afsked ofte kan være vanskeligt, er der noget decideret paradoksalt ved at tage afsked med et projekt som gav museets kasserede genstande nye levende begyndelser.

To explore these questions and their implications, we bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to problematize text as technology. The PhD course takes place […]

Online talk: Tomorrow June 10th from 11 to 13 you have the chance to join a conversation event taking place online as part of the Future Urban Legacy Lab online discussion series at Politechnico di Torino. 

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 […]
