Representation (for people and those who represent them) is an artwork made for Bergen City Hall. The work consists of woven textiles with a design including computer generated images based on people in Bergen. Through the image collection campaign titled Gruppebilde Bergen I collected portraits from residents in Bergen through the Fall and Winter of 2020/2021. The campaign was an open call to the people in Bergen to submit a portrait of themselves. The collected images were used as a training dataset for machine learning in order to generate new portraits for the artwork. The work was completed in the Summer of 2022.
