SHARE A BRAINWAVE

  Here’s an art project I encountered in the front office of the Danish minister of culture Brian Mikkelsen. As far as I know it’s still there. The piece is a seemingly ordinary cup of coffee placed on a windowsill a few metres away from the actual office of the minister. Every 10 seconds, a mechanism triggers shockwaves (well, more [...]

A touch of fibonacci while descending and ascending the waves above… 

…spirits are lifted, thoughts blur and everything tends to look somewhat wavy…

Oh wauw – I just realized that softice and swirls (caramel, strawberry and chocolate…) are very wavy foods. Bon appetit!

Wavy details of the classic Copenhagen park benches (dotted by birds shit, graffiti and drops of spring-flowers)

The Elbphilharmonie – the new concerthall in Hamburg – definately encourages the audience to share a brainwave or two while listening to the music.

Even a seemingly discreet shoe can potentially hide otherworldly beauty. Overwhelming waves beyond belief, oceanic beauty right there under one’s foot.

My mother was afraid of dark water. Throughout her life she avoided all situations – however appealing they appeared – that involved dark oceans, ponds, lakes. She knew they would make her feel nauseous. No moonlit scinny-dipping. No romantic midnight-strolls along the boardwalk. No summernight-fishing for mackerel in the Norwegian fjords. No shooting-star-watching from the [...]
