Medieval Box: Part 3 – RealityScan home studio
This is the third post in a series about this decorated box, which I started back in March, and then continued by trialling some photogrammetry through the mobile app version of RealityScan. Here I’m attempting the same box but using the desktop application, DSLR camera and basic home studio setup with makeshift lighting. The purpose…

Portal Propagations: Heritage in circulation at the FIFA World Cup
Tonight, Norway’s men’s football team will face Brazil in New York as two of the last 16 teams at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, after weeks of Norwegian fans invading American squares and stadiums with their viking rowing. Regardless of how tonight’s game unfolds, Norway’s return after 28 years has brought its cultural heritage to…

Earlier this year I joined the newly formed Scannegruppa (scan group), a volunteer group formed to venture to some of the remote properties owned and managed by DNT Oslo to…

Medieval Box: Part 2 – Scanning by mobile app
Back in March I started out carving this decorated box on a weekend course, which I posted about in an earlier blog entry. After a bit of second-hand tool shopping and a few wet-weather weekends later, I’ve managed to complete the project. Both sides are carved with an interlocking ring pattern with variations corresponding to…

The Matter of Illusion
I’m happy to be able to share a new essay I have had published as part of the first Metode volume on ‘Deep Surface’, titled “The Matter of Illusion: Seeing the Surface of Facsimiles. It is written from an auto-ethnographical perspective detailing my journey of understanding through a research residency at Factum Foundation last summer.…

The Bible of Amiens
John Ruskin wrote “The Bible of Amiens” in 1880, which Marcel Proust later translated to French. Much has changed in this city since then, which was at the epicentre of two world wars, but Ruskin’s guide to the cathedral still proves effective. This was a story I first put out on Instagram, after my visit…
