An online rendition of Monica Aasprongs installation Soldatmarkedet has been published at Afsnit P, a Danish site for new visual poetry.

Two of the parts in this rendition are collaborations between Monica and me. The first part is an extension of an previous installation collaboration between me and Monica for Skulpturens Hus in Stockholm 2005. 300 texts from that installation have been picked out and merged into a triptych consisting of three large text maps that visitors can navigate within. The triptych was commissioned by Afsnit P but has previously been exhibited as an installation at the Translation exhibition in Norway.

The second part is a diptych composed out of previously unpublished texts. The diptych has been arranged to resemble an open book. The pages consist of texts created by Monica based on letters in the title word “Soldatmarkedet”.

Navigation of the texts are performed sideways within the boundaries of the triptych while visitors can dive through one page to another in the diptych. The visual simplicity and downplayed interaction fit nicely within the greater whole that Monica has created with Soldatmarkedet.

The complete gallery is available here: Soldatmarkedet at Afsnit P.

I also keep copies of the diptyk and the triptyk in case the gallery at Afsnit P should be removed.

Think is a playful interactive environment where visitors can share thoughts by writing them down on pieces of paper and sending them to a wall where they are presented as bubbles emerging above the silhouettes of passersby.

Think was developed by Carl-Johan Rosén, Dietmar Suoch and Henrik Wrangel for The Interactive Institutes NVISION Studio. It will be exhibited during the The 13th International Conference on Thinking, June 17-21, in Norrköping, Sweden. The conference takes place at three different venues; Louis De Geer, Flygeln and Värmekyrkan.

More information is available on the accompanying website (which I’ve been slightly involved in the making of). The website will also feature a real-time connection to the installation during the exhibition.
