Christian has been doing interactive installations and interactive performances - Some has had the focus of connecting on part of reality to other parts of reality using internet or other kind of connections. The installations and performances attempt to have some sort of political or provocative element or just simply being funny or strange.

Tech-bio: Been studying civil engineering with a focus on human computer interfacing and interaction design. Worked with programming and consulting in .net/C#, but has experience with a wide variety of software and technologies.

In Half Machine at Nordhavn, I am doing an installation called “Controlled Aggression” – A small ‘apartment’ with sofa, table, chair and kitchen. I am sitting inside, and when people press buttons on a control panel outside the apartment, I respond by performing the corresponding aggressive action they have requested. For example, if someone press the button labeled “TV” I will get up from the sofa and kick or beat the TV.

This installation makes it possible for people to make me act out the physical part of their own aggression.
