Since 1 August 2024 I am Vice-Chancellor at SKH.
I am professor in film and media and I lead the research project Image as Site, which is based at the Subject area of Film and Media and funded by the Swedish Research Council. My artistic research revolves around the moving image and manifests across various artistic disciplines (visual arts, music, theater, film, dance, media art), as I usually collaborate in different constellations. As a result, my work is both subject-specific and interdisciplinary. I have long been engaged in ethical concerns within artistic research, for example, in dialogue with Rebecca Hilton through the research project Together Forever: Artistic Research, Documentation, and Ethics, which we presented at the Elia Biennial 2023. I serve on the steering group for VIS Journal, which I also was involved in initiating, as well as the KK Foundation's strategic council and ELIA's working group for Artistic Research.
I have been involved in the field of art since 1995 and in artistic education and research since 2004. In 2016, I joined SKH as a profile professor with responsibility for the profile area Art, Technology and Materiality, and I was responsible for the doctoral education until 2022. Previously, I was on the board of The Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, where I, among other things, worked on establishing a national interdisciplinary research school, funding artistic research projects, and driving the strategic development of artistic research. I have also been central in organizing the Nordic Summer School for Artistic Research (SAAR). I was a member of the Ethical Review Board from 2020 to 2022.
