«Elusive Habitat» shows a series of works that explore the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, the digital and the physical, and the chaos in between. Through the use of visual imagery linked to science and technology, the work alludes to the changing nature of our environment and existence. The material is obtained from a variety of both digital and physical sources (e.g. old magazines and journals, picture books, textbooks, digital archives, YouTube, Wikipedia, disassembled computers and TVs and other physical objects) in an extensive collection process. By experimenting with the most basic of digital and analogue tools and techniques, the material have been manipulated, fragmented, abstracted and connected to form new images. Central to the exhibition is a series of silkscreen prints on the material Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal, retrieved from the inside of obsolete TV, computer and tablet screens. A material that is a hidden but essential part of the components that makes our screens come to life.
As a part of the exhibition a book under the same title is released. The book consists of original collages that build on largely the same source material as the exhibition, but assembled into a fragmented and abstract narrative of clues and associations connected to the theme. By experimenting with three and four colour separations and at times unusual colour combinations on the risograph machine, the printing process has become an essential part of both the development and execution of the visual imagery.

Advanced computer parts presents a selection of advertisements for computer parts collected from the 1984 editions of BYTE – the small system journal. This monthly magazine was influential in the 1980sm because of its wide-ranging and in-depth editorial coverage of developments in the field of small computers and software. Today, similar parts and the actions they perform, are hidden in a sealed environment behind polished containers.
