-cloned Nordmans fir trees, earth, acrylic, electronics, network, computer, growing lamps - 2016

The Condition installation merges two modes of existence and two different intelligences within non-terrestrial micro-gravity condition. The biologically evolving existence of the cloned fir trees, and artificial intelligence behind the self-organizing rotating system that is fed with data from space weather satellites. It is a speculative model for a future forest consisting of typical Danish Christmas trees.
