Auto Navigate My History is a software-based installation that replays the artist’s own browser history from the past year. The work displays a computer screen automatically navigating through previously visited websites, creating a continuous and randomised journey across traces of personal online activity.

The project was presented as part of the group exhibition Coming From at Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen. The exhibition explored the sources of inspiration behind artistic practice, inviting 35 Danish artists to contribute an object, material, or work that revealed part of their process. Each contribution provided insight into the often hidden or indirect references shaping contemporary art.

Auto Navigate My History uses the digital archive of daily browsing as both source and medium. By exposing an otherwise private dataset in a public exhibition space, the work reflects on memory, digital traces, and the role of the internet as a space for both research and distraction. Visitors could observe the browser wandering through familiar and obscure websites, highlighting the fragmented and associative nature of online experience.

The installation ran on a standard computer connected to a screen in the exhibition space. Custom software automated the browsing process by reading from the recorded history file and simulating user clicks. Pages were loaded sequentially or at random, with intervals that gave visitors time to recognise and reflect on the material. The system operated continuously throughout the exhibition, looping through the history without direct interaction.

The exhibition Coming From took place from 23 August to 14 September 2014, with an opening on 22 August. It was organised by Overgaden in collaboration with DR and included contributions from artists such as Rikke Benborg, Nanna Debois Buhl, Claus Carstensen, Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, Kirstine Roepstorff, Morten Stræde, Jesper Aabille, and Kristoffer Ørum, among others.
