For the listening session at Page Not Found, Kristoffer Kjærskov will outline his ongoing research centred around ambience and landscapes, and present some of his recent projects. Currently a fellow at the Danish Institute in Rome, he is working on a sound project focussed around the Tiber River that runs through Rome. The project draws on the suggestive nature of the periphery as a starting point for material assemblages, and uses the river as an entry point to an urban, cultural, and material periphery where spaces, histories, and experiences overlap and intertwine in deconstructed narratives. For this project tape recorders, hydrophones, and contact microphones are used to document sounds from and around the Tiber, which are layered into improvised collages that relate and interpret the specific sites in changing environments.

Kristoffer Kjærskov is a sound and visual artist. His practice intertwines investigations between locations and materialities, where found and processed fragments create bridges between experiences and are used as elements in new collages and assemblages. Through his sound project Economy Of Meaning (EOM), he works in a genre-bending field that explores techniques, moods, and formats. In 2023, his album Site Seeing was released on the London-based label Calling Cards Publishing. In April, he will launch an artist book at the exhibition platform O-Overgaden in Copenhagen.
