Trøndelag senter for samtidskunst

We at Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art would like to welcome you to the opening on Friday September 3rd at 7 P.M!

Atle Selnes Nielsen builds installations, constructions that tell us about actions taking place. A behavior of development here and now during a conversion from i.e. motion to sound. The word kinetic is in this context given a nostalgic reference, and might remind us of time periods before the memory stick and computer based motion.
Within a closed circuit his installations move according to their own built-in conditions. You could say that sound and metaphors are being generated by a small universe or ecosystem.
By using analogue technology and physical phenomenon, the artist wants to bring forth problems around issues of man-machine, digital technology of today and its consequences.
 
The artist is working with wood, metal, water and air. Kitchen supplies and bicycle parts, cassette-tapes and analogue electronics, pump systems and engines.
He has constructed a new installation for the show at TSSK, and will also be exhibiting drawings of this process.
The installation includes moving rubber balls in various sizes connected to each other with brass pipes, tubes and electrical cords.
