About

Researcher, artist and teacher in European Ethnology. My research has primarily dealt with new media and digital culture. During the last years I have also developed a research track about the concept Industrial Cool. This deals with the ways traditional industries are transformed in contact with ideas about a postindustrial society.

Mixes of art and cultural analysis is another of my interests. I work with a number of art projects that are juxtaposed with research questions. Most of these projects are about experiences of place, landscape and geography and the ideas often emanate from my research. I’ve mostly collaborated with video artist Anders Weberg, and have more and more focused on working with sound.
