"Brus" focuses on the reaction between CO2 and water, on the exuberant interaction that brings life to the refreshing fizz in our Danish water and searches for the sea's CO2-absorbing abilities.
With "Brus" we turn the postmodernist notions of quantum mechanics upside down. We contend with the idea of its probabilistic nature as a challenge to traditional notions of cause and reality. Our exhibition cuts through the apparent mystique of quantum mechanics to reveal a system that is both simpler and more modernist.
We dissect the quantum mechanical machine and what do we find? A machine shaped with a scientific purpose – that produces a landscape that, despite its abstraction and incomprehensibility, still strives for univocity.
It is precisely quantum mechanics' dry pursuit of uniqueness that drives its modelling capabilities. This indispensable power is used by those who strive to accelerate the development of innovative solutions - such as improved methods of desalination of seawater or modelling ocean acidification.
"Brus" pays tribute to the quiet, a mechanism we often don't think about. We reveal quantum mechanics, hidden behind its abstract veil - a nature that is too small to see and therefore passes our eye. We welcome you to take in this revelation and hope that you will be fascinated by this modelled dance of particles and the explosion of integrals trying to describe the process that goes on around you every day.
Svend Lehmann Bager is an artist with a distinctive viewpoint, combining a solid grounding in both the arts and the sciences. Trained at the Funen Art Academy and holding a Master of Science in Physical Chemistry, Svend's work is characterized by a unique synthesis of these two disciplines. Since 2012, Svend has consistently integrated elements of science and chemistry into artistic projects, resulting in an interdisciplinary approach to creating art.
Julian Priest is an independent artist exhibiting internationally who lives and works in Denmark and has a studio in Gilleleje. He works with participatory and technological forms exploring themes including infrastructures, time, energy, security, space, environment and communications. Recently he has created a series of works which explore gravity including a large interactive work for Art Space Auckland and an orbital artwork 'The Weight of Information' that was in low earth orbit between nov 2018 and march 2019. He works through production company The Greenbench, was a member of the Aotearoa Digital Arts trust board and is trustee of the Wellington Independent Arts Trust. Previously he was active in early wireless freenetwork community Consume.net and advocated an open spectrum in the public interest. He has lectured at the Banff Centre, Whanganui School of Design, was senior lecturer at A.U.T University and Massey University, teaching fellow at Victoria University of Wellington and 2018/19 resident artist at the Thomas King Observatory in Wellington. He is currently working with satellites at IT University of Copenhagen
