Gruppebilde Bergen

‘Gruppebilde Bergen’ is a work in progress for Bergen City Hall. Through Fall and Winter 2020/2021 residents of Bergen, Norway, were invited to contribute their portrait to the project. The submitted portraits were processed by machine learning technology, in order to create new portraits of “Bergeners” for two large tapestries for Bergen City Hall. Portraits were collected through an online open call and photo shoots at various public spaces around Bergen.

Sustainable Societies for the Future is a two-part exhibition and program that springs from one of the most complex and urgent challenges of our day: how to create safe, inclusive, and sustainable societies. Twenty-four artists and artist groups are contributing works to the exhibition, that in different ways encourage dialogue and engagement with sustainability issues of local and global urgency.
