Elly Vadseth with Boris Kourtoukov, The Lure of Slowness, Hydrological Rhythms, 2021. Augmented reality. Innstallation view: Kunstrom Skogen, Asker
Lure of Slowness, hydrological Rhythms is a place and movement sensitive virtual installation narrating past, present and emerging futures. Materials: Lure of slowness Application, 8 channel sound. iPads with Lidar scanner, movement. Dimensions variable.
The application Lure of Slowness is designed as a portal for sensing multispecies time past, present and emerging futures, ruminating on emerging trans-corporeal choreographies. The application invite the viewer to co- imagine and co- create new paths through movement and interaction with place. Navigating parallel space through the application, wet gelatinous worlds emerge, narrating interconnected hydrological rhythms, Extinction events, biological hydrologics and knowledge erosion towards new interspecies relations. Through virtual space grounded in physical environments, Human and more than human time scales and biological perspectives merge.

The work is inspired by the Oslo field's geological history, ancient and new movement patterns, recent years with pandemics, the snail's neurological journey/ sensory choreographies and climate predictions from researchers about a wetter and warmer climate with new species constellations in the future.
