FEATURED: Untitled (Stavanger Oil City) from the series «Stavanger Oil City»
2012–2013
You have never experienced reality. Not in the unfiltered way that the common folk assume they have. If we are to believe the perceived world to be the truly real, you are still experiencing it filtered through a multitude of interfaces. At best, you're living an open-ended video game. Interacting with the world through a nuanced and intuitive controller, experiencing everything in glorious ultra high def and infinity-point-one speakers. At worst, you're living a dream on repeat, watching an ancient replay of an already lived life.

The piece was made for the exhibition «Inngang 13: Åpen port» at Rogaland Kunstsenter in Stavanger, Norway. The «Inngang» exhibitions are usually reserved for new members of the local artist's union.

When the decision to build the power line was initially made public, there was outrage.
