An Exhibition about Looking and Seeing
25.5.2019-1.3.2020

Do we see with our eyes or through them? In BLIND SPOT you can explore the relationship between what you see and what you perceive, through art installations and eye-related medical artifacts from diverse periods.

Investigate the interactions between science, society, and culture: How have studies on human diversity been affected by new technologies, different visions of health and medicine, political/economic inequalities and racial ideologies? What kind of consequences can this research have for society and the lives of individuals? Exhibition period: 21 March 2018 – 15 December 2019.

A tinfoil recording from the early 1880s, made on an Edison phonograph, is being unveiled in Norway. The recording has been digitally restored by leading American experts. The anticipation is considerable. What is being said and who is talking? Could it be Thomas Edison himself?

Jon Kyllingstad: 'Race' and 'ethnicity' and the science of human genetic variation 1945-2012. Research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s SAMKUL-program.

Beatles fans and everyone interested in music technology have something to look forward to. From November 3, the Music Machines exhibition will include a Studer J37 tape recorder exactly like the ones used by The Beatles when they recorded Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Where do you draw the line between a musical instrument and a machine? To what extent can music be created without using technology? Does technology stimulate or inhibit creativity? These are just a few of the questions that are addressed in this exhibition.
