Technology in use: VDMX for video and Native Instruments Traktor Pro for sound on two Apple MacBook Pro’s. The footage used in this VJ-set is a mix of my own footage, some raw material for my two drawings exhibited at Darkness Descends, raw material from my short film Hydrophobia, footage from Ubuweb and some footage by Snorre Ruch and Svein Kvamme. Everything is video footage (no graphic elements) and the output is strictly halftone dot screen Black & White.

I am available for playing either combined or separate VJ/DJ-sets. Previous locations includes Rockefeller Music Hall (Oslo), Monkeytown (Williamsburg NYC), Insomnia Festival for Future Music + Techno Culture (Tromsø), Rock In Progress R.I.P. (Oslo), UKS (Oslo), Preus Museum (Horten), Spasibar (Oslo), The Munch Museum (Oslo), Månefisken (Oslo), Grafill Gallery (Oslo), Kick (Kristiansand), Sound of Mu (Oslo), Blå (Oslo). Upcoming event as VJ on Øya Night/The Villa.
