Figured I better update with some of my recent activities. Production of my latest installation has been stalled due to lack of time, but I've been up to other things instead:
On Oct 14 I performed with the trio of Mårten Falk, Annal Lindal, and Johan Arrias at 3:e Våningen in Göteborg. I was playing electronics to the group's all-acoustic improvisations. It was a very nice show and hopefully we can produce something again soon.
During the month of October I have been working at Valand School of Fine Arts with Richard Widerberg teaching a month-long media art and technology course. I have focused particularly on teaching seminars on the history of information theory, it's relation to how we use technology, and several concepts around the use of technology in art. Richard has been working with teaching the class basic programming in the Processing language, to get people started on learning to control a computer, as well teaching some concepts of cybernetics.
The course has been an attempt to have a critical view towards IT in art, but from a slightly different angle that what is maybe usually covered - we are interested primarily in the ideas of control and command.
We also have had great guest lectures/workshops by David McCallum and Mika Satomi.

Looks like I let the webpage go a bit stale over the last few months. It's not for lack of being busy!
At the start of March, I ran a week-long noise music workshop at Einar Granum art school in Oslo.
I have continued working at Valand Art Academy in Gothenburg, where I have been starting to develop a different approach to noise music and performance. I have been working on a separate web page about this but development has been stalled due to my time being occupied by other things.
At the beginning of May I was working with the Geiger experimental music society who commissioned me to make a record with the great guitarist Mårten Falk. The results were great, and will be released on vinyl and online (if I can get my hands on the final production). And another album may be in the works as soon as fall!
On the record I played radio and gramophone loop, and Mårten played prepared acoustic guitars. It's really great to work with another musician, especially one with such a different background.
I have been working with the online artist's text project SQUID to produce a new text work, which I have just recently finished. This will be released soon, and is a text that outlines the themes of a new exhibition I have started work on called Why We Can Not Speak another radio-based installation. More details on that later.
