Using fluid media including installation, sound, video and text, Vibeke Mascini explores the sensorial scaling of abstract phenomena, with the intention to seek agency from intimacy. In long-term collaboration with scientists, engineers, government employees, and musicians she proposes the development of a conscious understanding of electric energy as a statement of interconnectedness and entanglement. By exploring the complex relationship between source and user, and focusing on the material implications of unlikely sources from which electricity is derived (including a whale carcass, a melting glacier, confiscated cocaine, and human remains), Mascini proposes installations where memories and mysterious sensorial experiences meet the newest technology of the rapidly growing field of energy storage systems.
