MED VIND I HÅRET

Do you travel through the landscape like a horse, cow, EPA tractor or perhaps like a rippling water?

Welcome to experience an interactive sculpture created for the biosphere reserve and the landscape around Lake Vombsjön in Skåne: An outdoor experience you see and hear via your mobile phone, about the movements in the landscape where asphalt meets meadow.

Med vind i håret (With the Wind in our Hair) is located in 10 different places in Storkriket Skåne and is available via your mobile around the clock 7 September - 4 October 2024, via the free app Meadow.

How to experience the work

To experience the work, you need a smartphone with an internet connection (charged, the experience is a bit battery draining but energising!)

1) Download the free Meadow app: https://www.untold.garden/meadow

2) Go to one of the places where the work is located - you see the locations on the map in the app. 

3) Once there, launch the Meadow app and open the experience: click on the title ‘Med vind i håret’, or go to the map and click on the symbol - a horse. Tap on Open the experience.

4) Stay in the experience as long as you want.

5) Tip: The experience is best viewed in shadow or twilight. Try to avoid bright light.

Mobile phone tips

This work uses the very latest Augmented Reality technology, which requires a recent smartphone (manufactured in 2018 or later), with enough space to download the app (about 230 MB) and a reasonably healthy battery. It works on iPhone 8 and later, and on most Android phones. More phone tips are found at Sjöbo Konsthall web page.

Artistic startingpoints

When I spent time in the region around Vombsjön (Lake Vombsjön) I was struck by all the movements and motions here - the waterm, the wind, the kettle, the machines, the insects. In the process explored how I could create an experience that enabled the audience to feel being part of these constantly ongoing trevels across the landscape, bien part of the biosphere where we co-exist.
