GLIMPSE
Interactive audio visual arts
Glimpsology
GLIMPSE started as a mobile digital photo studio equipped with a mixture of sculptural and inspiring outfits and sound system with the purpose to inspire creativity.
From the very beginning, the aim was to create an interactive space for experiences where the cameras function as catalysts and where the visitor becomes an active part of the creative process.
Since 2003 the GLIMPSE has participated in festivals and exhibited its work in museums and gallery spaces. While experimenting in the fields of photography, video and installation art, GLIMPSE has always remained faithful to three principals ;
Interactivity : The visitor participates actively in the creative process.
Recycling : Most of the props, clothes, images and films used in the process of creating new material are what most of us consider to be ”trash”. ( wikipedia definition : unwanted or undesired waste material).
Playfulness : Approaching the creative process in a relaxed and improvised way, leaving space for experimentation in the present moment.

Rififi gallery Växjö, Sweden 2007
The installation was made as part of the mobile studio at Rififi gallery in Växjö. It consisted of 24 tv sets, a computer, a dv camera and a VHF sender antenna. As the visitor walks into the center of the circle, she sees herself from a different angle in each monitor mixed with recordings of previous visitors, dressed up in GLIMPSE outfits. The images are transmitted from an antenna on the ceiling placed above the center of the circle. Each televison set is different and some of the transmissions are weaker than others, creating a feeling of distance. A distant drumming blends into the tv noise can be heard from an audio sountrack made by Mattias.
