The gramophone record, the musical thought, the
score, the waves of sound, all stand to one another in that pictorial internal
relation, which holds between language and the world. To all of them the logical structure is common.
(Wittgenstein, 1999: 32)

Jordheim (b.1981 in Bergen, Norway) is a visual artist, conceptual poet and
composer currently working with the translation between visual and auditive
systems, concrete poetry and the concept of isomorphia.
Through
installations, visual scores and concrete poetry, Jordheim's work springs from
an interdisiplinary
agenda; between genres, fields of art and medium, and the thesis that all visual has sound. Jordheim
thematizes the human need for systematization and questions if there a direct
connection between language and the world; topography, typography, text,
architecture and sound/music. The scores are often
frame work for a collaboration with musicians, where the outcome is in the
translation between the visual and the musical improvisation.
John Cage stated that letting go of control when
composing is a spiritual and philosophic matter, that creates a bridge between
music and fine art.
