Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm, during his visits to the WRO Art Center as part of the EMAP 2024 residency, is developing an art project titled Scan. This project will be showcased at the WRO 2025 Biennale – Qualia.

Scan is a kinetic sound installation that explores inaccessible phenomena from our immediate surroundings using advanced experimental detector technology. It extends and explores human sensory and cognitive capacities. Scan employs an array of rotating detector systems that directionally capture and amplify signals in the microwave range.
This part of the electromagnetic spectrum —a region densely populated by human technologies— is highly versatile, supporting a wide variety of communication and observation, from everyday technology (such as mobile phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi) to advanced scientific studies (such as satellite communication, radar, and radio astronomy).

The artist talk takes place on 13 December 2024 at WRO Art Center.
