  1. Dear Betsey
    Your double image is very appealing, surface and ground (bottom). A kind of deep sea Nolli map? I reckon you follow the medias covering of the partition line in The Grey Zone. Jonas Gahr Støre is comming to Tromsø tomorrow to be applauded for this remapping of the seascape. The post oil landscape/seascape, as the Vardø competition opened up - is postponed in the debate. This international remapping will continue in unforeseeable futures. But Peak oil is there, only pushed to its limits. As Vidar Lerøen said in KinoKino, globaly we have max 40 years to reconsider, an formulate new ways of acting - a new understanding - starting NOW!.
    You have gathered a matrix of knowledge of projects, thoughts and research of the seascape to come. Make a line up of your notions, challenge them and see if they lead you to a new terminology of the seascape - the post oil one. Fex some points of departure for what is to come, and how this reformulate Jæren/Stavanger on research, knowledge and praxises (the light house or the house of despair?).
    Your free hand drawings is very assosiative.
    I am looking forward to the next version of the double image (Double helix?)Or fex a couple of scenarios of change in this terminology of seascape. But follow your line of work, you are in a sea of possibilities.
    Look up Kemppes revision of the footprints of oil economy, i think he is introducing a new programatic approach to this fields, fex Forus.
    When does your next drawing appear on this blog?
    I am reading Gert Nygårdshaug on The Maya culture, Atlantis etc. Your way of working contains possible story telling aspects.
    Are you working with angels - Ariel?

  2. Thank you for your feed back!
    I am following the barrentz sea. and have found some interesting arguments. I will post my post-oil sea-scape as soon as I have a sketch ready. Working on making it as appealing and not banal.
    Glad you are feeling better!
