wov! I like the enormous energy in your work; going there, driving there, bringing in your family, filming there, going up an down the road. I like your going behind statistics too. The diappearing farmer and the rise of large scale organized industrialized farmland is part of your war stragy. But a terminlogy of wars, reading fex japanes history, has at least 10 reminders, or situations, where positions move back and forth.
Try to enhance an widen up your postulates, and search for tendencies in Jæren, and the world, that can be added to your strategy. your work Can be titled "Seven reminders for Jæren" (quote Italo Calvino/The Charles Norton lecture series). And then: on to that of (geo)locating). Can you elaborate on what your brief may be. Is it a system of positions, fields for exploration throughout the whole Jæren? Do you introduce an experimental field? Is it a hybrid grid of fields of Guerilla tactics, is it a smooth take over act, or is it a striated constructed series of events and space (Ref Labadini, and you have also read the text). Keep up this good work, it will bring you in a possible breakthrough position of understanding - I hope. And remember that Taraln Oma (in Ona Light House studio) said that Jæren farming was not that bad ecologically, but that only a new view on survival and the importance of agriculture worldwide would press Jæren to new positions. Time is ripe, may be?
