The Academy of Rhythmorfology (ARm) studies rhythmicity as a form-finding force. We explore the internal and surrounding rhythms of the living, how they connect and oscillate and make form. ARm is also concerned with the rupture of external rhythms and their effects on life forms. The academy is a collaboration between artist Signe Lidén, biologist and media theorist Arjen Mulder and curator Hilde Methi.
– – – Signe Lidén is an artist based in Oslo, Norway. Her work explore relations between place, sensing and sound. Through field recording, instrument building and conversations, she approach place as a dynamic becoming produced by geological, biological and atmospheric processes, as well as social and economic relations. Her work spans from sound installations, video and performance to more documentary forms such as sound essays and archives.
