A 20-minute version live performance of Kirkegaard's THE LAND (LANDET in Danish) - a pulsating and immersive work composed from sound- and vibration recordings of the mechanical aspects of Danish agriculture. Recorded on a pig- cattle- and a chicken farm, as well as at the ‘Danish Crown' pig slaughter house, detailed sensor recordings of the vibrating, roaring machinery of agriculture invites the listener out to the land and into an incessant, almost hypnotizing universe of sound; a condition that the endless pulse of the food industry generates.

ARTIST TALK – Inuk Silis Høegh and Jacob Kirkegaard
Meet the visual artist Inuk Silis Høegh (GL) in conversation with sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard (DK) on the film installation The Green Land: During the recording of The Green Land Inuk Silis Høegh invited the sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard to collaborate. As Inuk Silis Høegh needed to entrust the sound of his film to another artist with challenging perspectives, no one better for the task is Jacob Kirkegaard, whom have recorded sound from everything in-between Greenland’s ice cap, Trump’s wall in Mexico, dead bodies and landfills. How did the collaboration develop between an artist with a loss of hearing, and a sound artist’s microphone recording the almost inaudible. How did they in collaboration find the right balance between image- and sound narration?

Permanent Cloud by Jacob Kirkegaard is a new sound and visual installation created especially for Mori Art Museum.
The work captures the sound of humanity's rapidly growing digital memory stored in the mechanical heart of the Cloud.
Jacob Kirkegaard made audio recordings at a massive data center in Germany with sensors placed directly on different parts of its servers. These sounds of the mechanical Cloud are combined with video footage he shot of natural clouds.
Permanent Cloud is installed in a darkened room on the 53rd floor of the Mori Tower. The sound recordings of the Cloud play through four speakers located in the corners of the room. Video recordings of clouds are projected through three parallel semi-transparent hanging projection screens onto the large floor-to-ceiling window at the other end of the room, which is covered by a darkening film. Through this last projection surface can be seen the real clouds and the Tokyo skyline beyond that become integral parts of the work.
