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
