Julian Assange’s extradition trial was planned to resume today. It has all the ingredients of a good thriller… torture, obstruction of justice, corrupt judges, severe conflicts of interest, and potentially, one of history’s greatest injustices. Enjoy 😉

DOCUMENTARY – War on Journalism

These prints were produced in 2015. Originally, “Rain” was to be a series of 60 prints, but being my first attempt at silk-screening, half of them didn’t make the grade. (misalignment, loose emulsion, finger prints, etc) They ended in the defect pile and most were cut up for drawing paper. These come from a small pile that were saved from that fate, now hand finished and possibly nicer than those that qualified.

I managed to score a nice collaboration with the amazing artist, @chemisgraffiti. My pieces are on the fronts of his mobile phones and expand on the concept of 'being trapped in the digital box'.

Yellow Ribbons 4 Assange. The history of the yello

Yellow Ribbons 4 Assange.
The history of the yellow ribbon is ancient and has been adopted by numerous causes.
Its most significant use is as a symbol of solidarity with someone who is far from home, and an expression of hope that he or she will return safely and soon. 🏡
Thanks to all the hands on board tonight, this campaign, #YellowRibbons4Assaange at Lille Lungegaardsvann, Norway, was quite literally, a stroll in the park.
After kl1500 today, supporters (anyone willing to get off the sofa for the greater good), are encouraged to show solidarity by taking a yellow ribbon from Lille lungegaardsvann (or making your own), tying it to a body part and posting a selfie with the tags #YellowRibbons4Assange #YellowRibbonDay.
The world needs more whistle blowers, and whistle blowers need our support. Hope to see some selfies put to good use🙏
PS – no artists or activists were hurt during the filming.

All finished with this big commission at Åkra sports hall 🙂
Apart from the challenging weather, it has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The suggested project title was "Alle Teller" (Everyone Counts) and during my short stay, I have seen how well the title suited the location. Everyone I met was committed to upholding the value of diversity and all the minority groups depicted in my design, seemed to be represented and appreciated in the community 
Aside from that, the project gets a playful twist considering a local accounting firm, Bøhn Regnskap, commissioned it.  - Thanks guys and girls for all the goodies and hot chocolate that kept us going! Thanks to @OnarOlsen for the great pics, and thanks to my clever assistant for holding out with me 🙂

Travel sketches.

It’s exactly in times like these, of uncertainty

It’s exactly in times like these, of uncertainty and unease, that we should be cherishing everything that is symbolic of our best values, not tearing them down. Y Block is a symbol of Social Democracy and a reminder of a time when we triumphed over fascism. It was a fascist who tried to destroy it on the 22nd of july 2011, but unknown to most people, it suffered no structural damage… it was built to stand for a thousand years!
I can’t help but feel a little queasy with the thought of this exquisite work of art being razed, only to be replaced by more neoliberal architecture. What does that say about symbolic significance?
I’m sure Pablo Picasso will be turning in his grave with the thought of this work hanging anywhere other than where he had intended:( #Y-Blokka #laystå #Oslo #PabloPicasso #TheFishermen #CarlNesjar #ErlingViksjø #SocialDemocracy #Gatekunst #Streetart #AFK

Although our focus was recently shifted, I’m going to venture a gentle reminder that the issues prior to covid19 still exist.
However legitimate our inconveniences might be, they are luxury problems compared to the realities of most people.
With that, I want to shift your focus to an organization I became aware of recently. They are human rights lawyers and humanitarian aid volunteers with a vision to replace charity with empowerment. None-the-less, they desperately need financial help now to get back on their feet since the recent burning of their offices in Moria camp, Lesvos. If you have a few bucks to spare, check them out at www.fenixaid.org.
The corona crisis has shown how connected and dependant we all are on each other. I hope it is also a wakeup to the power that lies in the act of showing solidarity.

Excellent-upgrade
As experts applauded China for its response to the Covid19 outbreak, I can't help but wonder if they were also aware that this crisis gave the Chinese government an excuse to upgrade their surveillance capabilities. With the help of AI they can now identify citizens despite the use of facial masks. How do you think this move affects the ability of dissidents to continue their fight for democracy? Do you think these measures will be retracted when the crisis is over?

What a strange place our little planet has become.

What a strange place our little planet has become. I feel it resembles more and more a blockbuster movie each year, but without the certainty of a Hollywood ending. It seems this one is going to illuminate the best and worst of humanity, and put the fragility of our system to the ultimate test.
Thank god I live where I do! Immense gratitude to everyone on the front line. You are all heroes! 🙏💪
We will get through this of course. It’s been done before. But keep in mind, fear spreads like a virus to, and it is in states of fear that the worst decisions are made. So instead of worrying about what’s out of our control, let’s get all the best ideas on the table before the bad ones, and envision the world we want to emerge on the other side of this shit-show.
And if that fails, just blame China 😉 – joke

Trial by Puppet. Good morning, Worm your honor

Trial by Puppet.

Good morning, Worm your honor
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do!
-Roger Waters, The Trial, 1979

For those not familiar with this reference, treat yourself in these PANdemIC times, to an evening with "The Wall" and the inspiring work of Roger Waters.

Do Not Cross this Red Line.
Sak'en has had a busy weekend... Pasteups, stencils, an art performance inspired by David Dormino's sculpture, 'Anything to say?' and 500 meters of Red Tape placed around Bergen.
The project coincided with many similar initiatives around the world calling for the release of Julian Assange as his extradition trial started yesterday.
I highly recommend anyone visiting this piece to scan the QR code and share 🙂

'Emergence' - The second part of this piece (Excellent) is back on the wall:) The thief got cold feet when he learned that Gulatinget had footage of him taking it and that PbyP was going to report it to the police. Rather ironic considering these pieces are about surveillance. I guess this is a good example of technology's double edge sword.
This one is a collaboration with @justbrosey whom it's been a pleasure working beside. Thanks also to @arne.beck for the beautiful images:)
