Science in the Anthropocene: A transdisciplinary visual exploration in the Icelandic Westfjords
(2025)
Elisa Debora Hofmann, Benjamin Hofmann
In the Anthropocene, human activity is the driving force of environmental changes, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This exposition combines visual arts and social sciences to explore what roles science can play in navigating these changes in the Westfjords, a peninsula in the Northwest of Iceland. It presents five objects to tell place-based stories about science and to identify its potential contributions to resilient and thriving human-environment relations.

Craftmanship
(2025)
Kjell Tore Innervik
This project identifies a shortcoming in the range and coherence of the language that musicians use, in particular the Norwegian instrumental traditional music (folk music), when they aim to communicate the craft elements of their practice.
The Craftmanship project identifies craft as deep knowledge that is a result of skills based activities that again result in tacit knowledge. This knowledge has traditionally been communicated between practitioners or from master to apprentice through a series of subtle cues, ideas or metaphors, which resist language – it is learned through experience and a form attunement between the participants.
The project therefore, proposes to develop a vocabulary, based on and drawn from a practitioner’s perspective, through the “languaging” of keywords, and a critique of scores in order to revitalise the transmission of this knowledge for a new generation of musicians. Furthermore, it proposes that when attunement happens, it facilitates profound moments in performances, where the musician and audience reach a tacit recognition. The project proposes that these moments, colloquially described as ‘Magic Moments’ are the aim of most musicians in performance situations. These moments are often dependent on social situations. The project aims to construct a framework for further investigation of the contexts within which these moments manifest themselves.
