Dataton Dialogues
Organised in collaboration with PRAKSIS, a transnational platform for art, research and learning.
Dataton Dialogues was a 3-month residency with artists Tris Vonna-Michell and Henrik Follesø Egeland. The two artists worked at Pachinko from 23 October 2023 to January 2024, during which they configured a 1970s Dataton MIC 3 Programmer for PAX dissolve units to generate audiovisual experiments that responded to the artistic practices of Ed Vonna-Michell (1950-2020), Tris’s father. As well as drawing on the Vonna-Michell family’s history of exploring self-organised art, the residency invited contributions from other individual researchers and groups. Through this process, the residents explored the concept of authorship and developed new ways of working with archival, image and sound materials.
Conducted in two phases, the residency led to the exhibition of a slide and sound installation at Pachinko in December 2023, an exhibition in Vermilion Sands, Copenhagen, in March 2024, as well as a publication.
