What interests me in language is its ability to fail meaning. I use dead, peripheral and code languages to excavate meaning. Its like an archaeological dig in a search for a forgotten empire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the event Thursday Nov 26, starting at 20.00, Linda has invited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pipstafford.com\/\">Pip Stafford<\/a> who is a Tasmanian media artist and producer based in Hobart. Her work is primarily concerned with networks and communications, rituals and patterns, radio and feminist methodologies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We will combine our practices at long-distance through a time collapse. We will act from Iceland and Tasmania simultaneously. She will be using electro-magnetic pulsations and frequencies that will be audible and seen in Seydisfjordur. I will create a scenario working on readings of the future through the past using the mythical gemstone Black Opal which I collected in the Australian Desert\/Mining district of cursed landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Our attempt is to create seances awakening other dimensions and its ghosts from the virtual world in combining our current realities and practices as triggers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Linda will also show a first edit of her film <em>Zeus Tears<\/em> as part of an installation in the Bookshop-projectspace.<\/p>\n<p>The doors will open at 20.00 and the performance seances will commence at 20.15 and last for about 15 min. The exhibition will be open through theevening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindapersson.org\/\">www.lindapersson.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2943,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_exhibition_status":0,"wds_primary_location":0,"footnotes":""},"exhibition_status":[426,427],"location":[],"class_list":["post-10308","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exhibition_status-lidnar-syningar","exhibition_status-busetuaaetlun"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/10308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/10308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_status?post=10308"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=10308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
