Abstract [en]
This essay summarizes my artistry and approach as it has evolved during my five years at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. My artistry is multidisciplinary where I find inspiration in art, technology, science, and society. My artistic process often relates to a full concept, where I explore and tell multi-layered stories. I study and engage with scientific theories and engage with them in a playful and experimental non-scientific way. These stories are expressed in my work that are physical and digital created from my intent and from physical phenomena that the eye cannot always see.
I firstly describe how I have created paintings by using technology generated frequencies and how I have put them on canvas. “Painting with technology frequencies and vibrations” uses a technology-oriented approach in making paintings inspired from the Chladni plate method. The conclusion is that it was possible to capture frequencies on canvas.
Secondly, I describe how I have made paintings, and associated pieces, that relate to frequencies and disturbances in human characteristics. For the concept “Painting with emotional frequencies and vibrations” I brought in phenomena from quantum physics and specifically the observer effect to make the paintings. I focused on morals and ethics and how art possibly can positively affect us human beings. In my mind I also drew parallels to the future mass-surveillance society and how we may be affected by being observed all the time.
