Exhibitor’s text

ORBS

My digital ORBS are perfect! They float weightlessly and transform silently.

Form, color and surface are completely flawless, and the sensuality is overwhelming.

I can almost touch them.

‍

I've conducted hundreds of experiments, trying to perfect shape, surface, and colors.

When I solve one problem, a new one arises!

I am finally ready to flock the physical ORBS. I only have one attempt. I hope it succeeds!

I'm battling against gravity, time, scale and temperature.

‍

My ORBS are finished. You can touch them, walk around them, and lift them. They lie there, completely still. They are not perfect...

‍

The works are supported by Nationalbankens Jubilæumsfond
