“rhizom-e”, Carl Erik Lunde. For surface/rhizome, at Bergen Kunsthall, 2000

 
For surface 2000
RHIZOME-E
Mitt interessefelt er grensesnittet mellom menneske og maskin. Det er allerede forsket en god del på hvordan språket former oss. Jeg prøver å ta denne kunnskapen med meg inn på arenaen for digitale medier. Et digitalt håndtrykk er det som skjer når det surrer og går i apparatene f.eks. når en kaller [...]

“Abstract Machines”, Carl Erik Lunde. For map/nomadic machines 1999, Bergen Kunsthall

Abstract machines is a concept we find in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. I’ve concentrated on this particular concept because it stands opposed to nomadic machines or nomadic movement.We are all accustomed to law and order. Courts and policemen. Or to put it simple, white male justice. It is a strength to be reckoned with, [...]
