83,7 Kilo Ohm is designed and built by Erwin Stache, and invites people in public spaces to play together. A distinctive feature of this installation is both the ability to change tones, speeds and other parameters of sound, and the ability to interact and play with others. 83,7 Kilo Ohm serves as an interactive orchestra, where the player is also the conductor. Audio material is composed and programmed by Erwin Stache. Read more…

Atelier Nord presents film- and video art at the Norwegian Short Film Festival in Grimstad
As the first part of our initiative to present video art and film art through the new Norwegian digital cinema system, Atelier Nord presents a program curated by Susanne Ø. Sæther at the Norwegian Short Film Festival in Grimstad, Friday 18.6 at 12:00
Participating artists
This program is a presentation of younger Norwegian artists who have made their mark on the national and international scenes through their film and video works, along with selected individuals that are recent graduates. All have studied art, the majority at Norwegian art schools. While some work across both the film and art scenes, for most of them the gallery space is a more natural screening location than the cinema. In these galleries film and video can happily take their place as part of a larger installation comprising several video projections, the spatial presentation of which is fundamental. And yet an increasing number of film and video artists desire optimal screening conditions, with full control of light and sound, meaning traditional gallery spaces are more frequently resembling the darkened cinema theatre. It might seem, therefore, that the institutionally imposed division between film and art is, in some areas, beginning to break down. Read more
