Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- En artists book som består av två olika böcker, läs mer om böckerna nedan. Böckerna skapades genom animationer som ställdes ut på Skövde Konstmuseum, Göteborgs Stadsbibliotek. Verket var också en del av Forskningssymposium: Glitch and Photography II: Bugs, Camouflage, and Insect Media där jag var inbjuden att göra en artistic lecture utifrån projektet. (Hasselbladstiftelsen, HDK-Valand och Konstnärsnämnden IASPIS) Böckerna har också haft releaser på: Supermarket Art Fair, Chart Art Fair (Copenhagen) AInsects A book from the 18th century with the title Atlas de Insectes containing detailed illustration of insects. As the book is scanned the illustrations on the opposite side of the page shine through the paper. The insects are cut up into their component parts (Wings, Body, Head, Rod), that are then fed into an AI, that through a chance process reassembles them into millions of new, made up insect species. Thus a new Atlas is developed, overlaid by the shadows of the original – as if a future AI was trying to understand life on earth. The eaten books The insect is moving over book pages, eating its way through the book, page by page in a slow animation. When the whole book has been eaten the insect moves on to the next. Thus a selection of books, important to our culture and civilisation, is disintegrated as the insects erase the lines through their movements. In the end, all that is left are small fragments of text and the traces of the insect’s movements. The animation keeps going for half a year, after which the consumed pages are printed and bound into a library of erased books with little else than the titles remaining.

Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Dissolution 1999-2017 Olle Essvik - publication Olle Essvik - a bibliography in the book-serie Den store nordiske registrant over kunstnerbøger og andre kunstrelaterede trykte sager, published by Antipyrine & *[asterisk] The subject of this book is the Swedish artist Olle Essvik, who in his works transfers and connects traditional analogue crafts like bookbinding and woodworking to digital programming and code. The montage include in addition to books; multiples, calendars, CD's, computer discs, PDF's for download, codes, home pages, scans, photocopies and 3D-printing. Together, all these items form a dispositive of books and reading, dealing with how the analogue book, as well as its digital versions and deposits, is a way of doing, thinking, learning, and experiencing. The project examines the book as a machine, a mobile entity, a dispositive, that dedicates itself to knowledge, remembrance, historiography and media archaeology, in a situation labelled both post analogue and post digital. Essvik's "library" represents a temporally and spatially complex network of machines and expressions, one that reflects basic everyday experiences - of time, recurrences, coincidences, interactions, dependence, sleep, transience - his own, and those of our present times. Transience in particular is a central aspect to the chaos of digital preservation. To be more precise, several of Essvik's digital codes no longer work. They collapse as the simple result of hard- and software incompatibilities. Remaining are the books, several of which, in Essvik's case, contain digital code - as documents without a player - a compost for book worms and digital worms alike, where the sediments become difficult to distinguish for the media archaeologists of the future.

Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- r är en bok av Nils Olsson. Min roll i projektet var som formgivare, konstnär och bokbindare. Ett experiment och undersökning kring boken utifrån material, distribution och algoritmen som en metod för att skapa original. Till boken skapade jag en algoritm som slumpmässigt sammanställde Nils Olssons anteckningar till bilder. Boken formgavs tillsammans med Joel Nordqvist och blev en bok där formen även utgjorde distribution via post.

Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Göteborgsförlaget Rojal ställer ut artist books och bokrelaterade konstprojekt. Förlaget drivs i Majorna sedan 2014 och producerar och ger ut böcker i udda format och små handbundna upplagor, ofta i nära samarbete med författare och konstnärer. Förlagets verksamhet har kretsat kring ett praktiskt utforskande av boken som form och uttrycksmedel, gör-det-själv-publicering och möjligheterna att kombinera äldre hantverk och material med nya teknologier och digital kod. Under utställningsperioden kommer Olle Essvik och Joel Nordqvist som driver Rojal att visa böcker och bokrelaterade konstprojekt och samarbeten med bland andra Linda Hilfing Ritasdatter, Nils Olsson och Jonas Örtemark och Leif Holmstrand. En del av utställningslokalen kommer att fungera som ett tillfälligt bokbinderi där besökarna får en inblick i produktionsprocessen och en möjlighet att binda in sin egen bok. Verktygen som används är skapade för att enkelt kunna reproduceras, med åtföljande manualer och instruktioner. Workshopen är en del av Essviks pågående projekt The Enemies of Books – en undersökning av boken som ett objekt för demokratisering, i skärningspunkten mellan traditionella hantverk och ny teknik.

The Computer As Seen In the End of Human age
- 2022

Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The title of the book, The Computer as Seen at the End of the Human Age, is a reference to the exhibition “The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age”, curated by Pontus Hultén for MoMA in 1968, highlighting how technology was influencing art at a time when mechanical machines were increasingly replaced by electronic and chemical devices. Through its selection of contemporary art works the exhibition thus came to function as a recording of technological history. I never got to see the exhibition since I wasn’t born at the time, but a couple of years ago I came across a curious book with a tin cover. The book was published in connection to the exhibition, and the history recorded between its covers ends at approximately the same time that early computers start to make their way into the art world. In the fifty years that followed, art came to be marked by a digital presence. It was that book, along with an interest in dead media, and a curiosity for art aided by algorithms, that sparked the idea for The Computer as Seen at the End of the Human Age. Here you will encounter new works by a selection of artists, specifically invited to use algorithms/AI to contribute to a continuous, self-reproducing, anachronistic, machine aided recording of history. A way to preserve, revise and/or comment upon digital history from the vantage point of present-day technology or through the lens of imagined future media, perspectives and technologies. The works have been created specifically for the book. Some are based on works by other artists, made in another era, repurposed for our time and technologies. Others are based on redundant technologies, revived and given new functions. Some adopt a critical or political approach to the algorithm and its impact on society. Several utilize it as an opportunity to create unique works for each separate copy of the edition. Thousands of files eventually compiled into 200 unique books, each with a different cover and different contents – generated, aided or influenced by algorithms. Participating artists: Geraldine Juárez, Cornelia Sollfrank/Winnie Soon, Mishka Henner, Shane Hope, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Rosa Menkman, Rosemary Lee, Olle Essvik, Evan Roth, Jonas Lund, Darsha Hewitt, Carl-Johan Rosén, Linda Hilfling Ritasdatter and Jacek Smolicki.
