Artist talk (with Mikkel Rørbo)
5511 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90019
Saturday, March 16 at 1:00 PM 2:00 PM
Ends Mar 16, 2024
Join us for a discussion between Henrik Soederstroem, the artist of “Spirit Interface,” and Mikkel Rørbo, an interdisciplinary researcher and, sometimes, artist and curator. Mikkel is currently a PhD candidate at the Peter Weibel Research Institute for Digital Cultures in Vienna. His work focuses on speculative methods for critical engagement with emerging technologies and hauntological aspects of machine intelligence. Henrik’s artistic practice centers around themes of virtuality and reality, often seen through the lens of horror and the supernatural. His 2023 MFA thesis, “Media Horror,” investigates how works of horror fiction engage with media technologies. Mikkel will hold a short presentation followed by a discussion between the two practitioners on speculative fiction, haunted media, the digital eerie, and esotericism in the virtual plane. This talk will be held over Zoom and live in the exhibition space at Killscreen. Join us in the gallery or by visiting Killscreen.com and clicking the available Zoom link.
