The Atlas of Death by Olle Essvik In a number of works of art, the visual artist Olle Essvik has taken an interest in insects, bookworms that eat books, electronics as anatomy, and robots whose actions in a way resemble the apparently primitive abilities of insects. The performance The Atlas of Death has its starting point in two works of art, Eaten Books and Atlas of Ainsects. In the artworks, Essvik is interested in insect anatomy and insects as symbols of decay, survival, extinction, death, and post humanity. The performance is about Essvik’s work with insects and coding and is based on a reading from within the computer program, Eaten Books. A performance where the software is letting insects erase the text. Essvik will also lecture at the seminar Future Revisited, which will take place on Saturday 4 November 2023 at ARoS Museum. For further information on the seminar – please see the tentative festival programme. curated by: Moritz Neumuller
