Icelandic artist Odee presents a graduation project featuring a QR code linking to digital artwork at Bergen Kunsthall. The piece critiques alleged secretive actions taken by the University of Bergen and the gallery, aimed at censoring his work. Following a breakdown in relations with the university's art department, Odee was excluded from a group exhibition. He claims legal pressures from fishing company Samherji influenced university decisions, and emphasizes the legality of his artistic expression under Norwegian law, highlighting broader issues of power and censorship in art.
Odee's work serves as a critique of institutions' power, utilizing digital art to confront censorship and to challenge the influence of powerful companies on artistic expression.
'Pre-emptive censorship is illegal under Norwegian law,' Odee asserts, illustrating the tension between artistic freedom and institutional censorship.
