'Frseeeeeeeefronnnng', Duo with Hanna Pherson at Isotop Project Room in Bergen, Norway
Through a webcam on the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)'s website, you can watch a section
of the antennas at the Very Large Array (VLA) work together in a wye-form, three long arms of nine
telescopes, each observe, communicate and gather data through frequency band receivers in search of
astro-objects, radio sources, extraterrestrials (or attempt of) and so on. Elsewhere, an insect wanders
around on top of a Taraxacum flower, you know this by monitoring data from a radio-antenna
attached to
the insect's thorax, you know its immediate terrain, vegetation, temperature, humidity and whether it is
ok. If insects are consciouse, can feel and therefor suffer shouldn’t we question and protect them in
science?
Concurrently a fruit bat hangs from some long vegetation holding a fruit with its foot, while it meets
your eyes or gazes out towards the horizon -they form strong, long-term friendships and can recognize
their close friends by their vocal sound. Though, you may be aware and know a lot about bats, as an
excerpt from an Attenborough documentary, there are nonetheless subjective perspectives only known to
the bat, we may therefor not actually know what it would be like to be a bat, as Thomas Nagels argues in
the paper 'What Is It Like to Be a Bat?'.
In 'Frseeeeeeeefronnnng', artists Hanna Pherson and Helle Kongstad Holm Petersen work connected
from a curious perspective to explore different forms of being and communication: waves, frequencies,
antennal-language, non-communication.
They delve into questions of zoo-gaze, anthropocentric ethics, reductionist science and surveillance.
