Tentative list of Ideas that Kristoffer tries to work according to

  • Not to preach to those that I already agree with
  • Not to do what I think is expected of me
  • Make unruly and troublesome projects that are not confined by media or subject
  • Express my politics through how i work, not as a subject that my work is about
  • Not to have a personal style or preference, but to follow where “the work” leads
  • Use sustainable resources and recycled materials whenever possible
  • Provide the best possible working conditions for those i work with
  • Produce as much as I can myself, to learn from the process, not just the written word
  • Control the means of production so that a can continue to make economically unsustainable work
  • Address specific places and people, rather than global abstractions
  • Acknowledge my personal history, and how it shapes my work
  • But also admit that each biography is one of an infinite number possible versions of who I might be
  • Practice being critical about theory rather than observing the critical canon
  • Make work that one is able to “think with”, or get confused by
  • Steer away from the dominant discourses and their buzz words
  • Remain marginal enough to be relatively free from outside agendas
  • Stay close enough to mainstream media, and institutions, to be part of their ongoing discussions
  • Remain passionately ambivalent, and willing to change my mind
