To Hear and Being Heard is a text where I outline the outcomes out my practice-based artistic research project as part of Enhanced Practice at the International Center for Knowledge in the Arts, Copenhagen DK.

The text is accompanied by the video House of Ears, which can see in full length by following the link in Bio.

Thanks to everyone involved in this project!

Back in April, I got to sit down with dancer and choreographer Lara Ostan Vejrup (@laraostan) and visual artist Laurits Malthe Gulløv (@lauritsgullov) to talk about our individual artistic practices, about urgency, sustainability, listening and the relationship between art and language.

In two episodes, these podcasts presents conversations between participants of the Enhanced Practice program at International Center for Knowledge in the Arts. Episode 2 features Liv Vester Larsen (@creativewithoutnature) and Marina Dubia (@pessoateimosa) and recordings by Nanna Katrine Hansen. The podcast is edited and produced by Jan Høgh Stricker.

For two weeks, I’ve been working at this space. I initially titled it House of Ears, just to have something to start with, but it really only became something through the individuals and small groups that I invited to experiment with ways of practicing listening on different levels; from personal to interpersonal and local to global. It’s been a real pleasure. More info to come. #soundart #socialpractice #lydkunst #socialart #listening @ladder.space #listen #being #morethanhuman

In process… a behind the scenes glimps into the preparations for the upcoming exhibition darkweb.dk at XM3.

Darkweb.dk was originally presented as an interactive internet music release in 2016. While the music performs in an infinite loop, users simultaneously create their own visuals and send them as screenshots to a digital archive. By 2021 this archive has received more than 1.200+ screenshots from around the world.

Since the original release, however, darkweb.dk has been approached by wanna-be-hackers who believe that the music release is the actual gateway to the dark web, also known as deep web: an encrypted part of the internet where illegal activities are harder to trace. This has led to thousands of emails from people who wish to learn how to hack, buy drugs, make quick money, become a soldier, as well as emails with threats and queries bordering on the criminal.

In a time where hacker attacks and data security is a growing issue, these screenshots and interactions provide a unique insight into some personal motives of these potential hackers: poverty, desperation, anarchist nihilism, indifference, or the longing for being part of something.

As a nuance to this dark and intangible web, the exhibition presents the screenshots as colorful re-materialisations and as a kind of conversation with the wanna-be-hackers. Along with a disassembled computer and a performance with The Dark Web Office, the exhibition invites the audience to reflect on their own digital security.

The exhibition is supported by Aalborg Kommunes Kulturpulje.

Thanks to Jonas Hall, Jeroen Derks, Martin Sohn Østergaard, Mikael Madsen and the more than a thousand contributors of screenshots.

Opening: Wednesday 1st of December at 16 - 20
Exhibition period: December 1st 2021 to January 27th 2022
Opening hours: Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 - 14 + Sunday at 10 - 16
Location: XM3, Sallingsundvej 33A, 9220 Aalborg

Camera Sonora is a performance group, making long durational performances that combines extended musical improvisation, performance and installation with an aim to explore aspects of music and time as a method to venture into thoughts an emotions, reflecting on themes like mind, body, identity, memory, time and space.

Camera Sonora performs for an extended period of time, sometimes several days, and fills the room with an ever changing soundscape.

The exhibition is extended! The exhibition period

The exhibition is extended!

The exhibition period for the sound work You Are My Sunshine has been extended and can be experienced at Aalborg Main Library from 1-15 October - around the clock!

In the sound work You Are My Sunshine, 10 North Jutland male voices sing a song about love and longing. The work raises questions about the alternation between the man as a private and public figure. Through the frail vibration of the individual voices, the listener is invited to reflect on the singing voice's ability to lower emotional guards and forge bonds between people.

In his artistic practice, Morten Poulsen works with both the perception of and the development potential for white masculinity. At the intersection of sound art, politics and artistic research, Morten critically and self-critically questions the personal, structural and ideological presence of the white masculine voice. Morten graduated from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen in 2021 and is part of the Enhanced Practice program at the International Center for Knowledge in the Arts.

For the past few days, I have been walking around

For the past few days, I have been walking around in Hanstholm, way up in the northwest of Denmark, singing and recording male voices. It has been such a pleasure being there, meeting people and listening intimately to the individual characteristics of these voices. The recordings will be part of a new sound installation, premiering in Aalborg in September. More info to come…. // #soundart #artisticresearch #lydkunst #voice #malevoices #intimacy #men #socialart
