Vibeke Mascini’s artistic research has evolved around pre-modern and futuristic notions of electricity as a speculative agent of life. In a constant dialogue with scientists and experts, she combines natural and industrial processes. Her multi-media works address a fundamental and profoundly intimate dynamic underlying materials and organisms through the binding force of their energy. For Unfair™ she will showcase The Swell, 2020. This performance installation integrates a sequence of ocean waves from the North Sea that was faithfully translated to take shape on the keys of a grand piano. For Dust Suns, 2020, the dust of taxidermied moths was collected and used within a self-developed electrostatic drawing method; under the cabin pressure inside a flying airplane.
