The Garden in the Machine is a groundbreaking total installation by renowned artist Jesper Just that explores the intricate relationship between natural and digitally produced environments. Set against the striking façade of Filmby Aarhus, this immersive work transforms the building into a canvas, projecting an interactive image sequence of a slowly rotating forest from sunset until midnight.At the heart of this installation is a solitary Scots Pine, equipped with sensors that continuously register its photosynthetic processes, dictating the film’s flow in real-time. Spanning an impressive 1,400 square meters and utilising 13.2 kilometres of LED strips, The Garden in the Machine stands as one of the largest video installations in the world.This book offers an in-depth exploration of Just’s artistic vision, technical ingenuity, and the profound questions his work raises about reality, perception, and the intertwining of the organic and the artificial.

What is artistic freedom? Something you take for granted in the Nordic countries? Yes, most people would probably say. But perhaps this is not the case at all? After all, does freedom really feel completely free when you as an artist need to please large foundations or well-established museums? How do you express yourself artistically in hyper-sensitive times? And in which direction is art moving towards in a digital age?This anthology explores artistic freedom through a wide variety of texts. All contributors are concerned with the topic – each in their own way – ranging from the legal and practical aspects to the personal and experiential. Like a kaleidoscope, the anthology illuminates different ways of looking at the subject.The anthology is published by a/nordi/c – a think tank that from 2021-2023 worked to bring the practice of the art world and the political reality closer together.The following people have written contributions in the book:CARSTEN STAURANNI SYRJÄLÄINENSARA WHYATTFREDERIK TYGSTRUPADELHEID ESHITOK SEYFARTH GULBRANDSENKHALED BARAKEHJENNI LAITISANDRA WEILOLE REITOVHEIKI RIIPINENANNA JUULCHRISTIAN VILLUMKRISTOFFER ØRUMSTINA GUSTAFSSONELINE SIGFUSSONSIGNE WULFF

THE RANT is an artistic reaction to the development of the blockchain technology based on Ejlerskov’s own practice. It is a vision that connects our physical and digital world and leads the way into a possible future, where our spirit and bodies are as much part of the technological revolution as the upcoming decentralized internet.Central banking and the history of money, reincarnation and astrology, art, tech, neo financing, and crypto, plus the possibilities of our existence being a simulation? I am willing to consider all possible angles on life at this point. There is nothing simple about the transitory era we are living in. It is all intertwined. The same technology that can save us all can enslave us if it is not handled wisely. - Ejlerskov

Alexander og Niklas lever i to meget forskellige verdener - hvor den ene sælger sin krop og er den ”lykkelige luder”, sælger den anden sit inderste gennem sin kunst.Det giver en del udfordringer i deres kærlighedsliv, og da de efter en bytur udsættes for et morderisk overfald, ændres alt.Ud af ruinerne af sorg, store følelser og løgne opstår ny kærlighed, og der skabes etdybt venskab, der bringer mening over fortidens skygger.Historiens omdrejningspunkt er LGBTlivet i 2010s København, og hvordan kærlighed mellem to af samme køn både kan opstå og dræbes.

AKA HØEGH has her very own style of expression within Greenlandic and Nordic art – deeply rooted in the vast landscape and dramatic world of myths and legends that is Greenland. She focuses on everyday feelings and the sanctity of nature in a time of major societal changes. She depicts mythical landscapes, dreams and futuristic visions in the light of global warming. She thinks big while staying humble: We only get to borrow the Earth, we’re all just guests in this life. Aka Høegh works with a wide range of styles and media – from brushwork and watercolours to granite sculptures, from etching a steel needle into zinc to paintings and the decoration of entire buildings. She has influenced and inspired Greenland’s art scene more than any other artist, and her art has travelled far and wide beyond the country’s borders. MAI MISFELDT is a press officer at Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen. She has a joint degree in Danish and History of Art and is a former art and literature critic for Kristeligt Dagblad and Berlingske Tidende. She was a member of the Statens Kunstfonds Projektstøtteudvalg for Litteratur from 2018-21 (the Danish Art Council’s Literature funding body).

The famous fairy tale "The Flying trunk" by H.C. Andersen is about the son of a rich merchant who squandered almost all the inheritance he inherited from his father. One of his former friends gave him a trunk. It turned out to be magical, as it could fly, and the merchant's son went to the land of Turks on it. He settled in the forest, and after learning that a beautiful princess lived in the city, to whom no one was allowed, he flew to her. And since the guy was a storyteller, he captivated the princess and her parents with his stories. But like most of Andersen's tales, the end of this story was not so happy: the trunk burned down, and the merchant's son could not connect with his bride.Collection: My First TalesIllustrated by Saeideh AhmadiRetold by Clara Wedersøe Strunge“My first tales” is a collection of H.

The emperor in this story hires two crooks who promise to sew him a new dress from such a piece of thin fabric that it will be practically invisible to fools.

Andersen, exposing the stupidity and vices of the ruling elite.Cunning crooks can deceive anyone, even the emperor himself and his loyal advisers, but not a child.

This fairy tale will acquaint the little reader with the contrast of what’s natural and artificial, what occurs in nature, and what is made by man, and how the beauty of the former can be superior to the latter. This is conveyed through a mechanical bird and a real nightingale. The abilities of the artificial bird consist in resembling the sound of an organ barrel and playing a melodic tune, but it is the living sound of the nightingale that saves the emperor and fends off death when he is at his most difficult hour, all thewhile the mechanical clockwork of the artificial bird remains silent.

The Tinderbox is a tale about a brave, lucky soldier who managed to deceive a terrible witch, escape execution, and marry a beautiful princess. The soldier is presented to us as a dexterous and agile hero who managed to take possession of a magic Tinderbox, kill a witch, cheat the queen and king into both pardon his execution and marry their daughter, the princess he was in love with. But note that the main character can also be called frivolous and cruel. The illustrations of the talented artist Igor Oleynikov only emphasize the duality of the character of our soldier.

Umiddelbart er det ligetil. ZUSA skærer sit eget navn i bogstaver og sætter dem op, hvor vi andre ser det. Det er enkelt, det er genkendeligt, og det er let at forstå. Og hvad så?Det er meget mere end det. Intet er tilfældigt. Det handler om kontekst – og om fællesskab. Da gadekunsten bølgede frem i Danmark i midten af 00’erne, var præmissen, at kunstneren selv valgte udtryk, materialer og ikke mindst placering i det offentlige rum.Et hav af forskellige værker, metoder, teknikker og temaer vrimlede frem. Midt i dette virvar af gadekunstens overflødighedshorn dukkede ZUSAs navneskilte op på vægge, elkasser og bænke. I begyndelsen forekom det en smule naivt, men med tiden og med gentagelsen har ZUSAs værker udviklet sig til et væsentligt statement i det offentlige rum.Konsekvensen er klar. Motivet er hver gang de fire bogstaver i ZUSA, mens valget af typografi og farver varierer fra gang til gang. ZUSAs værker er – ligesom gadekunsten – afhængig af konteksten. Værkerne folder sig for alvor ud, når konteksten er i orden.De karakteristiske navneskilte er med årene blevet nogle af de gode venner, man hilser på, hver gang man cykler forbi. Kører i bus. Går tur. Eller bare er rundt i byen. Og man glæder sig over placeringen, udformningen, konteksten... ZUSA? Hvor stammer navnet fra? Det er en forkortelse af det tyske ord zusammen, der betyder at være fælles, at være sammen. Det er det, Zusa ønsker med sine navneskilte. At skabe et fællesskab i det offentlige rum.- Katrine Ring, Forfatter og Dokumentarist

In 1918 Wilhelm and Henny Hansen opened their home, Ordrupgaard in Charlottenlund, to visitors with an interest in art. Today the museum houses one of Northern Europe’s most important collections of Danish and French art of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century.The director of the museum, Anne-Birgitte Fonsmark, brings us close to Wilhelm Hansen and the Danish artists and works he collected in the years 1892 –1916. The Danish Golden Age is richly represented by C.W. Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Johan Thomas Lundbye, Wilhelm Marstrand and P.C. Skovgaard, but there are also artists from Wilhelm Hansen’s own time, including Vilhelm Hammershøi, Theodor Philipsen, L.A. Ring and Funen Painters such as Johannes Larsen, Fri Syberg and his childhood friend Peter Hansen. The book also features contemporary private photographs from Wilhelm Hansen’s homes.

The Choir Work honours the ancestors. They were the singers in the monasteries a thousand years ago who invented the alphabet of music called notes. They were the masters of Notre Dame in year 1200 that gave us the first amazing polyphony. They were the masters of late renaissance that perfected the art. They were all composers that understood the true nature of the choir whatever their time, place and styles were. Therefore the Choir Work is only a small part of a huge Choir Work going through the centuries – a link in chain. I have borrowed a vehicle for a short while: a lifetime to keep the unbroken tradition alive – changing and yet not-changing. The core remains.
