ARTISTS DEVELOPERS / SEPTEMBER 2018: LIGHT NIGHT ELVELANGS
Elvelangs, translates as “(Cultural) Walks along the River”.
Elvelangs is a newly established event attracting about 2000 visitors during one autumn evening. The event is a collaboration between several local cultural institutions. Nordland Academy of Arts and Sciences contributes with Neptun Art Science Lab, containing local workshops prior to the main event Elvelangs.
In 2018 we invited back Artist Developers under the artistic leadership of Alice Helps. They produced two installations under the heading "Light night Elvelangs".
Elvelangs consists of a 1,5 kilometres walk from town to the hills, starting before dark at 7pm ending at 10pm. Along route the audiences encounter various installations and cultural experiences from local schools and choirs to profesional performers. As darkness decends the rivers and creeks starts to illuminate and combinded with visual and aural inputs this creates a truly unique experience. Installations and artistic elements vary year by year.

CENTER FOR GEONOMIC GASTRONOMY / MAY 2017
The Center for Genomic Gastronomy is an artist-led think tank that examines the biotechnologies and biodiversity of human food systems.
The Center for Genomic Gastronomy is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge at the intersection of food, culture, ecology and technology. The Center presents its research through public lectures, research publications, meals and exhibitions. Since 2010, the Center has conducted research and exhibited in Europe, Asia and North America.

FRANCK DUBOIS FEBRUARY 2017
Franck Dubois (FR) develops work around recurring questions covering interrelated issues such as: attention, time, space and their relationship to the sound that unified them. He began working with the question of temporality through photography in 1992, and gradually the questions turned towards the sound space. Having already developed a relationship to Vesterålen, Franck Dubois will At Neptun Art/Science Lab explore contextualisation of time; listening to the past - hearing the future through the creation of an acoustic rendition, in-situ and in real time, of the spatial and temporal landscape within a Museum setting.
