Jonas Ivarsson – A.I. & TRUST

TRUST

It has acquired a deeper, wider and right into the bone marrow meaning!

[ZEPPA]

2 juni 2023

This is Hello, Computer, a series of interviews carried out in 2023 at a time when artificial intelligence appears to be going everywhere, all at once.

Jonas Ivarsson is a professor of informatics. He started in cognitive science and communication studies before moving to education. In 2013 he became a professor of education, where his research focused on the role of various technologies in developing knowledge and competence. In 2019 he moved to Informatics at the Department of Applied Information Technology at the University of Gothenburg. There, his role is to take the lead on the emerging research on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence—a specific approach to the interplay between humans and machines in the context of artificial intelligence. Central to this approach are questions relating to how to design AI systems to operate in the context of human users and how to design learning trajectories of humans so that they can intelligently interact with increasingly complex semi-autonomous systems. His strategic leadership background includes serving as deputy head of department as well as research dean at the faculty of education. He has served at the board of the University of Gothenburg and as a member of the university’s coordination group for digitalisation and artificial intelligence. The government has appointed Ivarsson to serve on the advisory Ethics Council of the Swedish Migration Agency. Ivarsson is an experienced project leader and currently operates as principal investigator of the research project ’Professional Trust and Autonomous Systems’ funded by Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation

yesterday & future

Year 2000 – I was here – where were you?

I really don’t understand time – it’s a mystery – what is it, how is it – does it pass, or does it just keep going, coming back and disappearing!?

I understand it biologically and metrically (barely) but I don’t understand it emotionally… Iit feels like everything exists at the same time! That simultaneity does not agree with how we are brought up about time.


Anyway… now it’s summer and wonderful… right now… just be present and enjoy!

film 50 sec

replay – Beatrice – her grief

VIGIL

It was an “art performance” – for real – so strong… almost medieval.

I did portray the death and the burial of Queen Elizabeth an era

through Beatrice.

I kind of got “struck” by her – her grief went right through the window into my studio!

It touched me deeply that they were standing there for public viewing, with their claws – watched by prying eyes – but especially Beatrice. It was heartbreaking and in the same time pure and beautiful!

Ulla Barbro – my mother


film 1.58 min

her home

Where ever you are – I love you – and I am so gratefull – You never ever doubted me, no matter what it looked like. And it’s strong, because sometimes it looked really bad!

There is no love greater than a mother’s love… so here, among us humans… that’s what I believe!

Differences

I have seen a series – Exit – it makes me think of a reality – It may be that men need war to find a good inner level. Do they??

…which means that there will always be war!

Work in progress

The Legacy – repeat

I can never digest this, that I am here… in life, on earth!

invitations in question

By the end of May I will know if my project gets a public space… so looking forward to that day. Then I hope I can invite two people to the project!

There are no words for the feeling, the pleasure of being close to the see, the senses of the beach and the water… listening to the waves… love it! I think it is the best of relaxing moments for the soul.

The most wonderful days!

A GIFT

film 1.30 min

What universe do I live in – the universe that has “wormholes” – where you can travel wherever you want in a second. On my planet there are no fences, only if you put them there yourself. I’m easily deceived… the downside of free thinking is that it makes me gullible. In a way I’m glad I was fooled, I had forgotten that I saw a person 5-6 years ago – I saw a presence and a talent.

I am grateful that I was reminded

LISTENING TO A GRAVEYARD

THIS DAY

I went through memories from last year – and this very day was a special day, a road Trip.

the location is: Båstanäs in Töckfors

– the place is filled of silent stories. time was short, there was so much more to film.

It was poignant – jag blev så berörd – to walk there among all the cars, the deeper into the forest, the older and rustier it became. I actually saw wrecks that looked like they were from before WWII.

yesterday – CECILIA – one of my four sisters!

Her garden,in the middle of Gothenburg… like hidden, kind of unreal… lovely!

… always new things in development.

The cellar where fish overwinter and are then released into the ponds of the wooden farm.

There is a lot to say about everything my sister does … will come back another time!

STOCKHOLM – 2022-11-16 19:00

Norén – theater – “that’s how simple love is”… well, it’s not simple! … that’s for sure!

I had an experience… that didn’t exist in my reality… it happened to me anyway! It’s becoming art!

I went to Stockholm, went to the theatre Maxim… actually mainly to understand reality, which I had begun to doubt… would have filmed a lot more, but lost the desire due to internal circumstances. Anyway, it was a valuable experience, to be able to be part of the last performance – in reality… happy that I have seen the much loved theater Maxim, before it was shut down.

Loaded with new insights I went home… it was/is surreal. I’ve fallen out, beyond earth’s gravity!

OBS

If anyone wants to add this little film clip to their memories – the end of Maxim – it is now available for download!

THE LEGACY

THIS HEIR, behind me… this baby -25 years old – how is that possible

… wonder if he’ll pop out when he’s done? 
My hands, or my will is teaching me things my head doesn’t know

… sooo, wondering what will come of this..

film 2.31 min

Art work in the in the final process

THE LEGACY – THE HERITAGE

I want to highlight our inherited fear. As soon as we leave the safe womb, we are so incredibly vulnerable.

In this work – which has been ongoing, from and to, since 1997 – 2022 – I have portrayed my fear of existing in my earthly body, my earthly destiny. And as I see it, everyone else’s fate as well – because I am not alone in being born into a system where violence and power are one of the most controlling forces. After all, there is a counterforce of light and love, but not everyone is blessed to be in that frequency. Despite the fact that “THE LEGACY” has deep roots in a dark part of me, my personality, the work is portrayed with humor. Because humor is a great tool to deal with difficulties. So this little baby, sitting on one side in a crack of the work  – is even before leaving the womb – armed! This little heir seems to embrace his destiny even as he thinks: shit! On the other side of the work, his father – the comic book hero The Phantom rides his horse, gun at the ready… my childhood comic book hero, whom I chose to portray as the patriarchal role model.

ZEPPA – ZERTIFIED – how to avoid the scams in art!

Today is teming up with talented counterfeiters
one way – my way – of guaranteeing original quality is THROUGH a:

 

  WHY IS IT IMPORTANT that the person who sings off the board is the same person who painted the painting? 

Except

– that you do not want to be cheated!

… and in addition to paying for a lot more underlying work than just the fact that one purchase!  All crafts are impregnate by variably unseen forces! According to me – it is extremely important what you bring home – for you who do not know, to you’r awareness, an object is just a capsule, a shell filled with just the exact energy that it was made by!

 

The great thing about buying a work of art is, in my opinion, that you besides the image, do take part of the artist’s invisible presence – you simply purchase an animated object – it cannot get more exclusive than that! That is what you are buying when buying a work of art.

safety.44

” Zeppa-Zertified ” is:

= an hair collection in a safe deposit boxes from a selected individual who is no longer alive!

… to avoid any “accidents”

😉

– from this hair collection you use a piece of hair each time you sign you’r artwork –  hair must always be in a certain measure, such as 2 cm, unless it does not apply even if it is the right DNA, it is to eliminate cheating alternatives to open the capsule and cut a piece of the hair, to use for other work.

mounted.xx

Mount the hair shaft in papie mache (above) and rap the it  in some plastic or evan better tin foil paper, and then put the package in a ”capsule” , and mount it on the artwork. The ”capsule” can for example be made in paipé mache, wood or plaster.

VALDA.TRE

You mount the ”capsule” with suitable glue!

The ”capsule” is encapsulated in a mounted area of the object… and if you ever want to check the authenticity of a painting of me – or perhaps another artist who chooses this method –

you should be able to submit the painting to get an DNA-analysis. With professional help, lift the seal with a scalpel  and do DNA analysis of the hair shaft and comparing it with an analysis… and then, with a witness – of course, restore the capsule.


As for my works – it probably will be accessible on my website.

 ”Fauteuil-caramel”

Below – samples of a work of art, that is part of a series of paintings that I call  ”Fauteuil-caramels” … and of course, there is the new addition to it, a DNA sealing!

So lucky to have connected with an inner form

my new logo-language!

For the art loving decorator

is complete – A stand-alone – but it also works expressively to combine several of them

1/ I will process this images digitally.

2/ The images will be printed – with the highest quality on synthetic canvas –

3/ Then hand painted In selected areas with oil paint.

So these works are intended, in such a way that the decorator should be able to combine pieces in the desired color combination, in the desired size and in different directions – horizontally or vertically. There are exciting movements no matter how you choose. I think it adds something extra interesting when the recipient gets the opportunity if desired, to integrate with the work and thus take part in the creation … become co-creative!

PS

New parts are under development!

Mölndals Museum – fantomen klubben på besök

MÅLNINGEN har stannat i min ateljé i alla år, förutom en vistelse på några månader på Mölndals museum, för ca 6-7 år sedan. Vid ett tillfälle höll jag ett föredrag för Sveriges fantomen klubb, ett antal herrar, som befann sig spå bokmässan, hade hört talas om tavlan, hörde av sig till Mölndals museum, de bad om ett litet föredrag av konstnären… kunde jag ju inte motstå… samtidigt lite “odd” att berätta att jag fått en baby med fantomen för en grupp herrar… underliga situationer man kan hamna i, men jag tror att de hade kul!. De ville så gärna höra om denna tavlas tillkomst och varför!


THE PAINTING has stayed in my studio for all the years, except for a stay of a few months at Mölndal’s museum, about 6-7 years ago. On one occasion I gave a lecture for the Swedish Phantom Club, a number of gentlemen, who were at the book fair, had heard about the painting, heard from Mölndal’s museum, they asked for a small lecture by the artist and that I could not resist … at the same time a little “odd” to tell that I had a baby with the phantom for a group of gentlemen … strange situations you can end up in, but I think they had fun !. They really wanted to hear about the origins of this painting and why!

It is a fantastic entrance to the area where the art gallery is located … it offers both depth, excitement and incomparable possibilities, if you think about this rabbit’s presence.

Carmen Olsson has been given a residence in Trollhättan’s art gallery – and so has the textil artist Pernilla Eskilsson – starting soon. It is possible to visit the art gallery during this time:

25 april – 22 maj

A Dragon Has Come Out Of Its Cave



You can beat the Dragon with your mind

… doesn’t matter if it is an outsider or insider Dragon – it is not easy, you have to practice, every day – to sharpen your focus. The Dragon’s nourishment is your fear, your despair, or your lack of direction.

… and, the truth is, I do not know how to do this … I just know it’s so!

Spirituel Tram Impressions

I think that it is in some ways like go into a twilight zoon when traveling by tram in Gothenburg. On the one hand, the trams that go here are often from the 70’s … it feels really strange, considering how everything else has developed since then! And besides, it’s always a bit special because you get trapped in a vehicle with unknown people, all with their different energy bubbles. I will work in this painting like an experiment. I will see if I can land in an abstract description of a moment on a tram… without any people being seen … really nothing should be seen, just felt!

An artist’s defense speech


so-called artist – like myself – you do not choose, it is only in your genes. It’s a blessing – you live a rich inner life. but it is also horrible, vulnerable and omitting. you stand outside your surroundings …

you are visible but almost never seen…


People in the immediate environment are quite often provoked by the person you are … I do not know why … even those closest to you … it is sometimes very lonely, very sad…



Many times I have been extremely hurt … but I have been quiet about it, because I understand that they do not see… did not understand, or chose not to understand … in any case … why do you/we so easily forget respect … the most monumentally important thing… most important human trait!



I guess we can all feel that way … maybe …

Painting Ozzy!

PAINTING OZZY

OZZY himself 😉

FINISHING the painting these days, 2021, februari!
… and it is for sale!

Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even

bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR

CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.

First this year I have it for sale… as in for real!

titel:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

PAINTING OZZY

For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe

“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?

BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!

– between then and now –

THAT REALITY SHOW… THE OSBOURNS!

I needed it… why, I do not know… I very rarely look at things coming through the tv!

… at that time, when I did my life battle on different issues – Ozzy Osbourne show – was just hilarious,

a wonderful window for laffter,

empathy and presens… so, as a reaction to that very special window I summed up my impressions and

experiences in this painting that I gave the title:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become

humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.

I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …

it was great!

LAST NIHGT I PAINTED…


… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!

I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …



ABOUT CREATING CLOTHES

And this magic fabrics… that speaks and tell… impossible to resist!

collage – some of – zeppa clothes & creations

COLLAGE-presentation of parts of Zeppa-Creations. This work makes an important  existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep” – creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!

it is a way to speak

… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.

PERFORMANCE “PANG”: ONE OF THE MANY SKETCHES – I DID AN INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS ABOOUT THE BODY – CLOUTING – LIGHT&SHADOW INTERACTING WITH THE SPACE IN THE ROOM… FASCINATING! I WISH YOU WERE ALWAYS THIS ADAPTED, IN FACT A BIT LIKE AN OCTOPUS, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE… BUT MAYBE WITH CLOTHES YOU CAN BE SO ADAPTED TO YOUR INNER ROOM . THAT IS THE PASSION IN MY CLOTHING CREATION PROCESS.. IT IS IN A VERY EASY HAPPY PLAYFUL CREATIVE WAY! THE OPPOSITE WAY TO MY PAINTING PROCESS WERE I ALWAYS MOVE AROUND IN THE DEEPEST DEEP.

I MADE THIS STRANGE HEADDRESS IN PAPIÉ MACHÉ It was used later in another context

sketches for dance-costume

sketch for dance-costumeto dancer Carmen Olsson

I loved to do these sketches – I made a lot – never shown them before – my interest for fabrics and clothing began with this mission, 2013.

… how the stage costume became!

it became a doorway – a renewed way to think body&room – new insights

[KONSTHALLEN]


I WENT TO SE THIS EXHIBITION

… and I had a very speciell experience!

This movie specifically describes my experience of Moa Israelsson´s cocoons !


MOA ISRAELSSON

“Moa Israelssons konstnärskap rör sig ofta i gränslandet mellan fiktion och verklighet, hennes skulpturer liknar föremål vi känner till, men är tillverkade av andra material och dimensioner än vi är vana vid.

Israelssons installation Go, Gone består av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hänger från taket. Skulpturerna är formade som stora sovsäckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre åverkan. Stoppningen är synlig och materialet är fläckat, som om det legat ute under lång tid och bearbetats av tidens gång. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sömnen inger, men också sårbarheten. Tyget blir då ett försvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och världen som skyddar och värmer mot det som sker utanför. Verkets titel Go, Gone antyder att något gått förlorat och får sovsäckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som återstår är minnet av det som en gång funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln också ett hopp om att lämna förlusten bakom sig och gå vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong förvandlas och pånyttfödas.

Materialvalet, silke och läder, förstärker känslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare än syntetiskt framställda av människan. Det är från just silkeskokongen som silkestråden utvinns. De två materialen silke och läder är båda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Där det ena är ömtåligt och skirt, är det andra tåligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en känsla av sällsamhet och förfrämligande: föremålen känns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.

Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och läder.”
