Most people have probably reflected on the contrasts between the organic and the mechanical. It is a space between the dynamic coincidences of nature and the precision of industrial processes, where the expression of the analog aberration contrasts with the rigid repetitiveness of the digital aesthetics. Jørn O. Jøntvedt have also made it a habit to notice how nature, or more precisely - how we perceive nature - is also interpreted with reference to objects and environments we have created. He use art to explore the aesthetics of the space between organic nature and the technically constructed structures.
The many projects he has work on are all about this coexistence. He has design machines to tame the watercolours built-in errancies, or force computer-generated graphics to act randomly and imprecisely. He mixes fragile mechanics into production processes that reveal the randomness of the method.
His art takes us to a is a rich area for exploration, driven by the human tendency to create order in the environment we occupy. This juxtaposition between nature and constructed order is found everywhere in his art. His paintings and sculptures are often composed of industrial products and uniquely constructed shapes. He believe that insight into art is supported by an interdisciplinary practice, and he find that his work in one discipline will affects the outcomes of another. There are few common references in his technique and method, but tactile material is preferred - and often, beyond the intention of manufacturers whether it be plastic, paint or metal.
All the art he shape tries to transform the prosaic space we live in and re-focus the gaze we use - when we try to make it understood.
