(b.1968, Landskrona, Sweden)
Anders is an artist and filmmaker working in video, sound, new media
and installations and he is primarily concerned with identity. The
human body lies at the root of projects that formally and conceptually
chart identity and its construction as a preamble to broaching matters
of violence, genders, memory, loss or ideology in which personal
experiences co-exists with references to popular culture, the media
and consumerism. Specializing in digital technologies, he aims to mix
genres and ways of expression to explore the potential of audio visual
media.
He coined the term Peer-to-peer art or (p2p art) in 2006. Art made for
- and only available on – the peer to peer networks. The original
artwork is first shared by the artist until one other user has
downloaded it. After that the artwork will be available for as long as
other users share it. The original file and all the material used to
create it are deleted by the artist. ”There’s no original”. Seven
films with a duration between 45 minutes and 10 hours have been
uploaded on the file sharing networks in one copy and their original
have been deleted. P2P Art – The aesthetics of ephemerality.
