art.description.projectSpace of Law was made by the creative collective STUDIO ALIGHT, which consists of Samantha Hookway, Fredrik Garneij and Christofer Kanljung (SoL added collaborator – Alexander Windgård). The variablydimensioned installation was built first from a curiosity of answering the following questions: 1) What is the aesthetics of the law? And 2) And how could we experience this with our bodies? Or even hold it in our hands? And, luckily and with the combined competencies of the collaboration Studio Alight was able to create a work that draws nearer to the answers. As the Studio Alight website states: “While navigating inside the law of Sweden enables the audience to navigate their own way through the paragraphs and exposes the complexity in its construction. The bodily experience of this artwork indicates the potential of aesthetics displacing subjective positions and previous understandings.” Technologically, this work to come alive uses code as an artistic medium, the law of nature (gravity in particular) as the decider of strength of relations and employs big data visualization techniques. See the piece via the images in the attached PDF, the referencing websites, the GP Kultur Recension (Aug 31, 2019). Yet, also, one can take a flight through the paragraphs of our land by visiting: lagen.studioalight.com. Then, also, as a further reflection and accompanying exhibition text, ICIA employed Charlotta Kronblad,lawyer and researcher of the digitalization of law at Chalmers University. Kronblad described the work to activate democratic measures: “By using digital technologies to combine art and law, the artists enable totally new questions. When the law is not spatially restricted new possibilities emerge as of how to regard and use it. In times of mass migration and digitalization, where both material and immaterial borders disperse, it is possible that we might need to understand and apply nationally based territorial legislation in novel ways. To dare to consider this, is not only important but also urgent. Because the fact is, that we live in an increasingly complex world where global changes, technological progress and alternative systems of government challenges the rule of law as the optimal one. Contemporary western democracies, based on the nationalistic rule of the people under the law, may not be forever. To build vital and ethical environments for human co-existence moving forward we might need to think in new ways about dynamic network of relations and norms and a development of the rule of law. This piece of art enables such thinking. With art as the mediator it is suddenly possible to question the twodimensional nature of law and awake thoughts about the nature and future of the rule of law.” After exhibiting this autumn at the ICIA, Space of Law is finding new exhibition formats and locations. Studio Alight is currently working with leads of showing this work in further audiences, for example at upcoming Vitalis this May, as well as, in law school classrooms, and even within a national courthouse in Helsingborg.sv
art.description.summarySpace of Law is a visualization of the connections between the paragraphs of the law of Sweden. It provides an understanding of the between the lines of the law and is an experience that alights the gravity of the connections between the paragraphs.sv
