Material Vision – Silent Reading

A series of photogravure prints, and the creation of new musical instruments and a performance on the remote Bear Island in the Barents Sea. Through a combination of artistic and scientific practices, Material Vision – Silent Reading investigates various ways of reading a landscape and how the viewer and the viewed relate to each other. A mobile eye-tracking technology was developed, combined with instruments that give audible feedback to the reading of the arctic landscapes. This page shows the work in progress from the earliest experiments on archive material to the expedition itself, and resulting prints and films (tba).
