I | I constructed a specialized camera mount for holding and stabilising the camera on a rope. The subject is instructed to pull on the rope. Currently, the rope is tied to a fixed point. | ||

In the process of working on this project, I have physically explored the notion of frontier, nature exploration and thought about what it means to move into the distance. | |||
I read about "dispersion relation" (a theory taking into account that which effects the path of a moving subject or object through space and time). I decided in these experiments that the subject should be attached to a heavy weight (fixed object) and try to pull against it. | |||

I'm in a phase of changing my life speed. Coming into a wokring context that ressembles passed ones. I want to step outside of pragmatics, daily news and politics and return to a working pattern rooted in intuition. I started this semester off with concrete ideas, but realised many of them were "one-liners" or time-rooted, connected to this particular moment in time and even more specifically to the current moment in media art production. I hold a romantic belief that my role as an artist is to work in another way that the world around me functions, to look for what can be seen between the cracks and can be found through "other" ways of looking. For example, if capitalism draws most of us to produce objects and move in a strong claimingly forward direction, then I should slow down and look beside me instead of ahead, watching for the tiny details and patterns that exist or searching for other types of motion. | |||
