The exhibition “Persistent Disequilibrium” at Wrap art center in Bergen (September 2023) was made by the artist collective Pixels.Frames.Beats.Drones (Jeremy Welsh, Tijs Ham, Trond Lossisus, Øyvind Brandtsegg). The installation/performance concept is based around resonance, vibration, recycling, sound phenomena and available materials.
For this event, we had a lot of new material, so we did not re-use any earlier pieces. Still the topics and basic concepts remained the same. The processes of group interaction are refined each time we work together, and as we come to know what to expect from each other, the artistic collaboration flows easier each time around. It starts to feel like a band.
Previous iterations of the collaboration has resulted in exhibitions in Surnadal and Molde. The next iteration will be at Rosendal Teater in Trondheim in May 2024.
