Enter the Forest – mere spekulativt end mine foredrag. Mere eksperimenterende end mine trykte tekster. Mere nørdet. Det er her jeg lærer hvad jeg tænker. Tankerne kommer på engelsk. Samtalerne på dansk.
Spotify is playing your favorite tunes before you even know they existed. Hollywood just premiered the same superhero movie you already saw five years ago. The newest iPhone is almost as thin as it was 11 generations ago. Slop is everywhere. And it is not the fault of AI (at least not entirely). But how did we get here?
Without critical, reflective interpretation, data becomes misleading and dangerous. On survivorship bias, Hans Christian Andersen's networking strategies, and why truth resides just as often in the shadows as in what appears before us.
What if the 'errors' in translation are actually something precious? On mishearings, Dadaist curation, and how imperfect translation becomes a thinking technology.
'The future' is too often just a mode already contained in the present. On futures thinking, artistic indeterminacy, and becoming a steward of uncertainty.
Artists use artificiality as a vehicle to transform time-based experience into lived reality. From Peter Weir to Marina Abramović — on designing duration.
Enter the Forest is not about trees. It's about stepping into a space where clarity dissolves and plurality emerges. On enclosure, entanglement, and rediscovery of connectedness.
Authentic workplaces may actually undermine the very community they claim to foster. Why liberation emerges not from authenticity, but from embracing partial roles.
Marc Augé's 'non-places' - airports, train stations, supermarkets - lack historical identity yet liberate minds from routine constraints. On displacement and creative potential.
How the regenerative movement risks becoming another jargon of authenticity. On romantic nostalgia, vagueness, and the difference between mysticism and material change.
Moments of reflection open up deeper connections — not just to ourselves but to the world. From the Legoland Tower to the Overview Effect.
A form of performativity that works by hollowing out and dematerializing the object. On Tino Sehgal, John Cage, and the art of nothing.
The appeal of analog as a counterpoint to the hyperdigital world. On how objects shape interactions through their material properties and become bridges to meaning.
Counter-memorials materialize memory as a process rather than a static historical product. From Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial to the 9/11 voids.
Knowing facts about the past is insufficient to prevent its repetition. On the difference between historical knowledge and cultural memory, and why we need entanglement over distancing.
Følg med i mine tanker om kultur, design og det der opstår imellem. Skriv til mig, hvis du har spørgsmål eller emner du gerne vil høre om.
