Project Details
The Pattern In Us All (2007) was a lecture performance created by Anders Bojen & Kristoffer Ørum at the University of Copenhagen.
Announced as a regular guest lecture through university channels, the event began with an introduction to the scientific field of patterns: their aesthetic and perceptual dimensions, and the role they play in how the human mind processes the surrounding world. Disparate subjects such as English Vorticism, brainwaves, animal perception, and doomsday scenarios were connected in an increasingly ambitious thesis.
As the lecture unfolded, the lecturer (actor Kristian Husted) gradually transformed from a detached academic into a man consumed by his subject. Using the fictional device Scope 3000, he ultimately merged with the patterns themselves.
The audience received a hand-out titled The Pattern in Us All: Exposing the Substructures of the World attributed to Kristian Husted. Presented as a manual for the Scope 3000, it included both a personality test based on pattern perception and a how-to guide for the device.
