If you wander around @bonamatic at degnestavnen 17 you might encounter some weird flyers about the Mundane monsters posted near the supermarket, in the library or perhaps the the bus stop. With Qr codes that lead to augmented reality versions of the three Mundane Monsters Opening 17. February 5-7 pm 18. February til 18. March 2023 Kristoffer Ørum's exhibition poses a paradox and asks how we can get used to living in a world that is constantly changing with technological trends that constantly supplement, expand and reinforce the same reality with extra layers of information. Our everyday life is increasingly a mediated dimension that is permeated by the virtual and by digital systems; what yesterday was a disturbing future is what we fool around with today and voluntarily throw ourselves into. Three of Ørum's speculative monstrous beings from his performances, exhibitions and interventions are brought together to simultaneously popularize and problematize the relationship between nature, culture and technology. They are called forth from the cracks between the familiar and an imaginary world, the techno-scientific authoritative and a bizarre future fantasy. The title's English "mundane" contains an ambiguity, as the word means the everyday, while the Danish mondæn, which is also derived from mundus 'world', means something that rather belongs in the fine world. Rather than the unpredictable or yet imaginable future existing as a dark cage full of scary tomorrows piled together in a formless heap, the exhibition suggests new ways to consider familiar issues in the world we must constantly learn to live with . In the spatial installation, the physical world is combined with virtual data in 3D printed sculptures, augmented reality technology, video and wireless transmissions. The exhibition is accompanied by the website Mundanemonsters.oerum.org and a series of interventions in the local urban space. The exhibition is supported by The Danish Art Counsil. #kristofferorum #mundanemonsters #bonamatic @kristofferorum (at Bonamatic) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cow1jGJsFeU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In an imagined future, humans have returned to their roots as hunter-gatherers, migrating from one giant oyster to the next as the seasons change. The world has undergone a significant transformation, with the once dominant cities and dry land now a distant memory. The giant oysters, once seen as powerful and in control, have become sources of sustenance for the humans, providing food, shelter, and a place to call home. As the humans migrate from one oyster to the next, they live off what nature and the seasons provide, relying on their skills and knowledge to survive. They hunt and gather, fishing in the low tide, foraging in the forests of kelp, and collecting the bounty of the Sea. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

#Repost - @bonamatic by @get_regrammer Kristoffer Ørum: Mundane Monsters Fernisering fredag 17. februar kl. 17 -19 18. februar til 18. marts 2023 Kristoffer Ørums udstilling stiller et paradoks op, og spørger hvordan vi kan vænne os til at leve i en verden, der er i konstant forandring af teknologiske trends, der til stadighed supplerer, udvider og forstærker selvsamme virkelighed med ekstra lag af information. Vores hverdag er i stigende grad en medieret størrelse, der er gennemtrængt af det virtuelle og af digitale systemer; det der i går var foruroligende fremtid, er det vi i dag fjoller rundt med og frivilligt kaster os ud i. Tre af Ørums spekulative monstrøse væsener fra hans performances, udstillinger og interventioner bringes sammen, for på en gang at popularisere og problematisere forholdet mellem natur, kultur og teknologi. De kaldes frem fra sprækkerne mellem det velkendte og en forestillingsverden, det tekno-videnskabeligt autoritative og en bizar fremtidsfantasi. Titlens engelske ”mundane” rummer tilsvarende en tvetydighed idet ordet betyder det hverdagsagtige, medens det danske mondæn, der ligeledes er afledt af mundus ’verden’, betyder noget som snarere hører til i den fine verden. Frem for, at den uforudsigelige eller dog tænkelige fremtid eksisterer som et mørkt bur fuldt af uhyggelige morgendage, der er bunket sammen i en uformelig dynge, foreslår udstillingen nye måder at overveje velkendte problemstillinger på, i den verden vi hele tiden skal lære at leve med. I den rumlige installation kombineres den fysiske verden med virtuelle data i 3D-printede skulpturer, augmented reality teknologi, video og trådløse transmissioner. Udstillingen ledsages af hjemmesiden Mundanemonsters.oerum.org og en række interventioner i det lokale byrum. Udstillingen er Støttet af Statens Kunstfond. #kristofferorum #mundanemonsters #bonamatic @kristofferorum (at Bonamatic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CohF93jsR-w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Purple oysters are a species of mollusk that have become increasingly popular among aquarium hobbyists in recent years. Unfortunately, this popularity has also led to a dangerous addiction to social networks that cater to these fascinating creatures. People who are addicted to these networks spend hours upon hours scrolling through pictures, videos, and forums about purple oysters, and often neglect their real-life responsibilities and relationships in the process. They may even go as far as spending their entire paychecks on buying and maintaining their own purple oyster colonies, at the cost of their financial stability. This addiction can take a significant toll on one's mental and physical health, as well as their personal and professional life. However, many who are addicted to these networks find it difficult to break away, as the allure of purple oysters is simply too strong. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

In the future, humanity had to abandon the land and retreat to the oceans due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. Life under the sea was not easy, but the people adapted, building underwater cities and finding new sources of food and energy. In this new society, the concept of wealth and money as it was once known became obsolete. Instead, giant pearls were used as a form of currency and a means of exchanging goods and services. However, unlike the old world where giant pearls were a symbol of wealth and status, in this society, every individual was entitled to an equal share of the giant pearls. The pearls were used as a means of exchange for necessary resources, such as food and medical supplies, without the hoarding of wealth by any one person or group. The equitable distribution of giant pearls ensured that everyone had access to the resources they needed to survive and thrive. The people lived in harmony, working together to maintain the delicate balance of their underwater world. The giant pearls were also revered for their beauty and played a central role in the cultural life of the ocean-dwelling community. They were used in non-religious ceremonies and celebrated as symbols of the bountiful and harmonious world that the people had created. Years passed, and the people of the ocean prospered, living in a world where everyone had access to the resources they needed, and where wealth was no longer a source of division and conflict. The giant pearls continued to play a crucial role in this new society, serving as a reminder of the values of cooperation and equity that had allowed the people to thrive.

Finally got a salvaged laser cutter that had been sitting in a corner for a while put to work cutting out the mundane monsters logo. There is something very scifi cutting things with light as well as something scary about this technology and its potential to cause harm and start fires. Very cautious about this new family member... #lasercutting (at Captive Portal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoK0zlasxoS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Building small stands out of plywood with self designed 3D printed connectors for Mundane Monsters. Sometimes in wonder if I might have been happier as an engineer solving practical hands on problems with instead of the fragmented and propositional art projects i spend my time on. Probably i would find still myself in much the same situation, looking over the "fence" to other traditions and instutions, wondering if they might somehow provide the means of pursuing my interest. Wondering what is to be learned from other disciplines about the world and how to live in it. In this way it is difficult not to sometimes dream that there might be a discipline or context where all of my interests and all of what in want to do might fit. But in truth i don't think that such an ideal profession, context or tradition exists, but that its something that every one has fashion for oneself. Carving out a space where what "needs to be done" can be, by not caring too much about disciplines or tradion. Obtaining a bit of freedom to act on what is apparent to ones self, by not adhering to the norms of one field, but instead choosing to maintain a polygamous relationship to many fields and ways of thinking. There is so much joy to be found in choosing no field and so much adventure to be had by having a utilitarian approach to disciplines, as useful fictitious rather than guiding principles. Even if that might never lead to a sensible/coherent narrative of the slef or a sense of belonging to anywhere for very long. So I guess in truth one of many names i might call myself could be artist-engineer or engineer-artist for as long as it serves my purpose. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

Today we said goodbye my stepfather at the Chapel and spend the whole day sharing all the things we remember about him. It was both immensely sad and uplifting to be surrounded by people from so many different parts of his life, brought together by our warm memories of him. Some of you might have noticed that I am not answering my emails/messages at my usual pace, and I won't be for a little while longer - but i hope you will bear with me as i take a small break from communicating to take care of myself and those close to me as best I can. #berightback (at Copenhagen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoF00XSMDA4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
