Bedre internet på djk, 2020-2022
Jutland Art Academy / Aarhus

An institutional critique of the low-frequency/non-functioning routers at the Jutland Art Academy. It began as an open joke, which gradually gave way to a growing frustration among some students, as it affected the unfolding of the teaching, grounded in the routers' solid performance.

The concept was formed after an assembly in 2020; which justified the issue as an obstruction not only related to the academy's facilities but affecting 'the whole area', raising confusion and questions about why no one was trying to solve it. The concept functioned as a quiet protest, which used merch. as seeds to openly communicate the lack of resources allocated a state-recognised institution, which affected the students' education and work.

An attempt to solve it was initiated in autumn 2022, after the campaign had ceased operating, when Helle Kongstad Holm Petersen concluded her education at the Jutland Art Academy. Insights from the students suggested; new routers were obtained. Though “rough” weather — e.g. rain — would obstruct the frequencies and once again slow or sever their use.
