Media Mountain (2020)

24 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Silent

"A timelapse video of Media Landscape Mountain, an installation work that reflects on the nature of increasingly shorter product life which leads to consumer demand and excess consumption. The technology lifecycle of research, development, ascent, maturity and decline, is slowly changing as the world's population moves toward sharing technology and media equipment, repurposing and recycling."

Artist's statement

Credits & notes

Presented as part of #biennale.no, “a (Norwegian) biennial that doesn't take place and which disseminates works which don't exist. It is a contemporary art biennial that themes virtuality, and is virtual itself. To pitch it further, the biennial has a motto that it both takes place and doesn't take place, and in all possible places simultaneously. The biennial is distributed and decentralized as collaborative nodes, and based on artist-driven DIY practices outside of institutions.” - https://biennale.no/
