Walk
I was transformed into a deaf tick. I crawled through a golden sea of fur and arrived at a sort of temple of cartilage and fragile hairs. I had found the ear of the tiger. I slid down the ear canal, and from there I could hear everything: Extinct languages, tonalities and forgotten cultures. I could hear the tiger’s THOUGHTS.

The GPS-based audio walk “Sans for finans/Money & Magic” is a guided investigation into the structural nature of the monetary creature, inviting the audience to "pay attention" to value and money. What is money? How is money created today? Who is in control of the Norwegian Krone? More so, what is the relationship between money and value?
The audience is guided by the voice of the curious spirit of Bodil, a soon to be retired anthropologist, a wanderer in the landscape of money and value, a counselor for the love-struck and love-stuck, and a traveler of many dimensions.
With a combination of contemplative money-discourse and glimpses from Bodils life, the listener is invited to partake in a walking route through the city centre of Oslo, via various organs of the monetary system as of today. The wanderer is guided through financial hotspots such as Barcode, the stock exchange and the Central Bank, accompanied by a co-inciding soundscape of vibrational frequencies the wanderer ends the journey at the toilets in Spikersuppa.
