The work draws on the aesthetics and structure of the computer game genre of “platform games”, where the character moves from left to right, confronting enemies and obstacles, and are often seen from a flat/straight-on perspective with a scrolling background environment. The storyline is based on the stories of three friends’ experiences of trying to maneuver through different departments of the healthcare system. &nbsp;<img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a44220ad8ff79da7492b9bcbdc804633f4e7da3d818767802112d2c162b7b972/cecilieafgang24-1.jpg" data-mid="218977537" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a44220ad8ff79da7492b9bcbdc804633f4e7da3d818767802112d2c162b7b972/cecilieafgang24-1.jpg" /> Afgang 2024, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, April-May 2024 &nbsp;Photos: Mikkel Kaldal <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18deae99edaabf5cff79b54003219f1cb3a8b66f0e3a8d766bf7665ba3fdf87f/cecilieafgang24-5.jpg" data-mid="218977539" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18deae99edaabf5cff79b54003219f1cb3a8b66f0e3a8d766bf7665ba3fdf87f/cecilieafgang24-5.jpg" /> https://ceciliepenney.com/Reticule-Ridicule Mon, 07 Aug 2023 11:10:50 +0000 Cecilie Penney https://ceciliepenney.com/Reticule-Ridicule <img width="4692" height="3256" width_o="4692" height_o="3256" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5780a8493e95245ed776e99f1029e5362a3d6568553da2c830ee584719fec7a2/_DSC6180_1.jpg" data-mid="187235388" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5780a8493e95245ed776e99f1029e5362a3d6568553da2c830ee584719fec7a2/_DSC6180_1.jpg" />SAUCE grop show, Copenhagen, 2023.

The radio signal was more than 50.000 times stronger than what had previously been recorded, leading researchers to wonder if it could be a message from aliens. In the installation, the visitor experiences an interpretation of Big Ear's "flat reflector", which captured signals from the sky. An LED screen in the ratio 1:35 is programmed to flash in varying intensities based on data from the time period when "The Wow! signal" was recorded. The light installation is synced with a video of scenes from American sci fi movies that were made in the time period of the Big Ear observatory’s existence from 1963-1998. The video is edited with a code based on the same data as the light installation and depicts different fictional interpretations of first encounters between humans and extraterrestrial beings. <img width="4480" height="6720" width_o="4480" height_o="6720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/71a78bb4c4ce47b8f2a6ddcecad1158b87efe1a187656145cc78fdfee3584201/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-5.jpg" data-mid="175746565" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/71a78bb4c4ce47b8f2a6ddcecad1158b87efe1a187656145cc78fdfee3584201/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-5.jpg" /> <img width="6646" height="4431" width_o="6646" height_o="4431" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a8357fda9a657b8b407327c10557fff3b32c497c2353bfae1cf3b88cd1a8370/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-7.jpg" data-mid="175746566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a8357fda9a657b8b407327c10557fff3b32c497c2353bfae1cf3b88cd1a8370/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-7.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4697dab498f2b8c1fe2ae7b3a89c7ad6143d735d5d9d20f681698e2efe743d6/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-1.jpg" data-mid="175746562" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4697dab498f2b8c1fe2ae7b3a89c7ad6143d735d5d9d20f681698e2efe743d6/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-1.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1bd5ec61413fed99a6541716fb803df62bdfb00bbaab25414ae52b5f5751e5c9/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-3.jpg" data-mid="175746564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1bd5ec61413fed99a6541716fb803df62bdfb00bbaab25414ae52b5f5751e5c9/CeciliePenney_kpSPRING_Photo-MikkelKaldal-3.jpg" /> Installation at SPRING 23, Kunsthal Aarhus, April-May 2023 https://ceciliepenney.com/Between-the-earth-and-the-moon-there-is-one-full-tone Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:47:33 +0000 Cecilie Penney https://ceciliepenney.com/Between-the-earth-and-the-moon-there-is-one-full-tone Between the earth and the moon, there is one full tone (2022) 6 channel sound installation.

Between the earth and the moon, there is one full tone investigates the philosophy “The music of the spheres” which was formulated by Phytagoras in ancient Greece and later developed by astronomer Johannes Kepler in the 16th century. Phytagoras identified the different intervals of musical tones by deviding a single string into different lengths. He believed that this theory could also be applied to the relation beetween the earth, the moon, the planets and the sun and that tonal intervals excisted in the distances between the celestial bodies, for instance that there was one full tone between the earth and the moon. The work consists of two parts; a 6 voice sound greeting to outer space, and an animation interpretting “The music of the spheres” through a geocentric world view.&nbsp; https://ceciliepenney.com/Are-you-well-1 Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:47:33 +0000 Cecilie Penney https://ceciliepenney.com/Are-you-well-1 <img width="4726" height="3376" width_o="4726" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea2fbbcb12fcca280f656abf9efd8929c3f1aa4638e576e150dc0cdd31dec25b/_DSC3858.jpg" data-mid="172958395" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea2fbbcb12fcca280f656abf9efd8929c3f1aa4638e576e150dc0cdd31dec25b/_DSC3858.jpg" /> Kimen, Ørestad Bypark, Copenhagen, 2021.

The sculpture was dug into the ground resembling a sewage cover, a portal or a communication link to another place.
