Looking forward to show a new version of Department of X at Lydgalleriet in Bergen.
In the sound installation Department of X, the viewer becomes the center of a fictitious meeting between researchers in various disciplines, where the conversations follow an unpredictable pattern that neither leads to agreement nor disagreement. Eight researchers from astrophysics, philosophy, brain research, informatics, evolutionary biology, anthropology and dance have been interviewed based on a selection of their academic articles. Based on mapped themes between the researchers' statements, an algorithm generates combinations that are continuously transformed.
