How & Why – The Headliner for my lightning talk ab How & Why - The Headliner for my lightning talk about building a career on curiosity. How I almost always start with the ‘How’ and end up with a ‘Why’ afterwards. Here are some excerpts of my interactive career and on how I’m now building local AI infrastructure for a university and how I make the experience at @restaurantalchemist interactive. Thank you so much to the #pcd2026 CPH for inviting me, to everyone who showed up to support the community. To @stigmollerhansen @andreasref @runemadsen for organising. @dmjx for hosting. To all the other speakers. What a field to be a part of. And last but not least thanks to @chroma_vj for always snapping my whereabouts for social media 💕 #processing #touchdesigner #newmediaart #keynotespeaker

@morildcph at @roskildefestival ! I’m beyond word @morildcph at @roskildefestival ! I’m beyond words for the experiences this summer has brought me. I’m beyond proud of what my friends has achieved. Morild, a boundary pushing black metal band, playing Roskilde Festival, the biggest in Scandinavia. Through the past 7 years working with them, we have developed a one of a kind live laser show, which finally took its full form at Lagune stage, with me behind the development and execution. Several thousands of people attended the show. Such a unique moment in time. Shout out to everyone attending, took part in making it happen, and especially to everyone trying their best to mosh pit at an atmospheric black metal show. You guys are the best! Can’t believe we got to perform in front of the legendary Alien & Cow 👽🐮 Credits Music @morildcph Laser Niels Otto Light Amalie @a.solander , Vertigo @vertigo.dk Sound Johan @jonna.manual Additional video footage Line @line.fisker Harley @chroma_vj #roskildefestival #rf26 #touchdesigner #lasershow #blackmetal vjing liberationlaser danishmetal

What does the Sun Reflect On? Reflect On It, one o What does the Sun Reflect On? Reflect On It, one of the few pieces of the @cphlightfest, which are lighting up during the daytime too. Made possible with the playful help of everyone’s biggest star, the Sun. What will you reflect on in the sun? With only two weeks left of the festival, and in the beautiful snow, be sure to come by Havnegade, where Reflect On It is on display — day and night. #cphlightfest #copenhagen #lightart #installationart #sun
Reflect On It — Copenhagen Light Festival 2026. A Reflect On It — Copenhagen Light Festival 2026. A hall of mirrors, covered in contrasted lights. What will you reflect on? This piece marks my first time exhibiting at Copenhagen Light Festival. Taking a break from my usual computer-controlled, digitally interactive and complex pieces. Reflect On It, built with wood, mirrors, foil, and analog LED bulbs, takes a down to earth approach to interactive pieces, by altering your perception of reflections while you’re moving around. Giving an almost slitscan-like effect. Reflect On It is placed at Havnegade, Inderhavnsbroen near Nyhavn in Copenhagen all through February 2026. Big thanks to Alex who helped me building it all the way! #cphlightfest #copenhagen #lightart #installationart
RUINS Strobe occurs in video. My most recent #Lig RUINS Strobe occurs in video. My most recent #LightInstallation, set up in one of the most unique locations of #Copenhagen: The Ruins under the Danish Parliament, Christiansborg Castle for #Kulturnatten. Filling the entire 1000m2 of the Ruins. 800 years deep, underground, the #ArtInstallation told the story of ever evolving #Democracy, history, superstition, and Royal Family with a thread going all the way to modern day. Thanks to everyone who queued up in the rain to visit the installation!
