My projects deal with breaking borders and boundaries, visualizing hidden power structures, and the relationships between openness and control. Trying to define a moment where something is put in motion, opens up and touches deep down.</p> <p><a href="http://faces-l.net/en/node/227">read more</a></p> installation new media New York Norway public art public space urban interventions video Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:15:06 +0000 Vibeke Jens 227 at http://faces-l.net Aileen Derieg http://faces-l.net/en/content/aileen-derieg <p>I work as a translator in Linz, Austria, with an emphasis on contemporary art and new media.
