1. Killing Lena

   "Killing Lena" is a rendered video series in which Lena Sjööblom's famous face is repeatedly exposed to the compression algorithms she unwittingly helped to develop. The videos presented are compression pornography, the suggestion of a "compressivist art", and a poetic digital demise. The installed version of this piece shows the effect of different recursively applied compression algorithms on the original image, simultaneously on separate screens.

2. Sky and Wires: At Home and Homeless

   "Sky and Wires: At Home and Homeless" is a response to a contemporary life of engaging with places not as a space to be, but as a space to chart a trajectory through.

   Artist Statemenet:
   The conceptual focus of my work is the synthesis of ideas from cartography, information theory and phenomenology. It exists in a space between the footsteps of the walker, the pulse of a neuron, and the progress of civilization. I'm interested in perspectives different from human-centered values and experiences. A signal isn’t given meaning only upon the receiver’s understanding of it. Noise is part of the signal. A page of random characters contains more information than a Shakespeare sonnet. Formally, monotonous structures and extended crescendos induce near-hypnoidal states, while acknowledging the more aggressive aspects of contemporary life. The conflict between movement and stillness is always present. These aspects take intermedial forms, foregrounding the interplay of sonic and visual elements.

5. Skindoscope

   Web-art work that focus on the poetics of alterity – the game of identity and alterity. Based on interactors’ data (skin color, name, city, country, gender, height and weight) the work creates different visual kaleidoscopes intending to cause reflection about people’s differences and similarities.

   The artist also produced a version of the work for Second Life, where the kaleidoscope is formed by the leaves of a tree. Each avatar who interacts creates a leaf with his/her skin color and each 10 leaves created causes the tree to produce a coin of L$ 1,00, which can be taken by any avatar who touches it.

10. Petits Poèmes à Lecture Inconfortable

    These little poems ask the reader for a physical effort that disturbs reading. Each poem asks for a different use of the mouse and rebels again what you want to do. The poem acts you ! You totally engage yourself, your body, while reading. Reading is a confrontation with an untamable: you can only grab som scraps of text to construct a meaning, your meaning. Finally, your activity is part of the text itself, the symbol of the necessary conflict with matter to construct life. (http://www.epoetry2007.net/)
