  Image as Site (last edited: 2025) author(s): Ellen J Røed connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  Devices that produce images, such as cameras and microphones, invite their users to engage with the world by enabling a network of relationships. By appropriating the concept of field from certain discourses of sound art and applying it to the moving image, visual artist Ellen Røed explores, in a series of collaborations, how camera based field recordings might operate across experience, mediation and representation. By considering the moving image as a form of site in itself, the activities of the project consider how moving images can manifest as a form of place on its own terms rather than as a mode of representing reality. The project builds on the capacity of video based art for enabling movement, transience, and body, in other words elements of performance characteristic to site. Image as Site is an artistic research project at Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH), funded by The Swedish Research Council and SKH.

  Image as Site: Apartment Portraits (last edited: 2025) author(s): Ellen J Røed connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  With Apartment Portraits contemporary music ensemble Lemur and artist Ellen J Røed investigates the rooms we live in through a series of sound and video works for living environments, musicians, microphones, cameras and videographer. Through video art and contemporary music they explored three apartments in Oslo: The oldest of them is a 1970s apartment at Hovseter, the other two are more recent. One is located on Teaterplassen in Grønland, and was built in the early 2000s, while the last one is in Sørenga, built in 2016. In the resulting portraits of apartments, subtle and slow panoramic camera strokes through the apartments explores and portrays the relationship between performed sound and living environments. It tells the story both of the rooms, their owners, the performers’ actions as well as those the videographer. Leilighetsportretter is part study, part concert, part installation, part site specific intervention and part architectural field trip in Oslo apartments. The project is one of four elements in 'Samtaler om rom' – Spatial conversations, where Lemur works in and around the at The National Museum – Architecture´s exhibitions on Norwegian housing architecture. As such the work is part of an interdisciplinary effort to explore new strategies for the presentation of architecture. It is developed within the overlapping research framework Image as Site at Stockholm University of the Arts. Project is supported by The Swedish Research Council, Stockholm University of the Arts, and Norwegian Art Council. The project was presented at The National Museum – Architecture, Oslo in the framework of Ultima festival of contemporary music and Kulturnatt Oslo, at Bomuldsfabrikken Kunsthall and at SKH Research Week 2021.

  Image as Site: Kompass (last edited: 2025) author(s): Ellen J Røed connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  KOMPASS is part of the artistic research project Image as Site at Stockholm University of the Arts in which Ellen Røed and Signe Lidén have developed a method for field recording that combines sound and image in a distinct form of attentional (aesth)ethics. They explore how instruments, time and movement are included in and affect the relationships between bodies, images and places, between experience and representation, in various forms of field recordings.

  Image as Site: Unarchiving Nono (last edited: 2025) author(s): Ellen J Røed connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  Unarchiving Nono (2017 – 2022) by Ellen Røed and Bjørnar Habbestad operates as a form of comment or intervention on archiving musical material hidden away from an acoustic everyday life. The project has developed through a method where human memory is examined and activated as a carrier of the musical material, and where musical material is moved out of the archive and unfolded into a local reality. Through an iterative process of listening, remembering and performing each performance is influenced by a new layer of spatial acoustics and everyday sounds, stored with the musical performance, gradually building up to trandform the musical material by spatial layering.

  Elsa - New Reactive Earth (last edited: 2025) author(s): Lina Persson connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  This is a snapshot of the Storyworld New Reactive Earth, from March 2024. This worldbuilding began in 2011 when a collaboration with Prof. Ronald Mallett evoked in me how his time travel theory could enable future generations to confront how the present depletes the Earth. This made the conflict tangible and resistance possible, prompting me to continue developing this concept through methods of CO2 limitations and collective sharing in collaborations and interventions. Experimentation with limiting bodily access to energy and resources helped embody the storyworld's speculative premises. Slowing down breath, heart rate, and metabolism achieved an altered state that attuned me further to the relations and how I am entangled in my environment. Through iterative interplay, this speculative 'introverse' and my everyday environments have shaped each other. With the included prompt cards I invite you to join this shaping, to extend this interplay to your own environment. This Storyworld is neither a utopia nor a dystopia but a transtopia—a place to go through in order to get beyond current realities, get a glimpse of what else could be.
