Photography Practice
Commercial portfolio and experimental art projects
Current Work
Active commercial photography practice based in Kristiansand, Norway. Nature and landscape photography from Southern Norway, portrait photography for private and corporate clients, and limited edition prints for interior decoration.
Upcoming Art Projects
Two experimental photography series currently in development, exploring the boundaries between observation and interpretation.
The Circle: Influence
A strategy game about information, trust, and power – where what you don't know can destroy you
Game Mechanics
The Circle is a social strategy game for 3-4 players (15-30 minutes) that explores information asymmetry as its core mechanic. Each player's hand constitutes secret information that others need – deciding what to play when determines the outcome.
Trust Architectures
Building (temporary?) alliances without knowing who to trust
Progressive Disclosure
Information is revealed gradually throughout the game
Constraint-Driven Design
Only 2 point value cards, a few action based cards and the missions to motivate your play
ARG Experience
The game has a digital ARG (Alternate Reality Game) campaign running parallel to the physical game. Players can explore The Circle's universe via circleinfluence.com – a terminal-based web experience with hidden documents, character profiles, and secret communication.
Discovery Paths
The ARG can be discovered through 8 hidden entry points spread across 3 platforms (DigTek.app, Morgenbadet.no, CircleInfluence.com) – from obvious links to expert-level hidden hints.
One More Thing
Did we mention it already? The game also comes with its own iOS companion app, to keep track of score while playing, but also gleaming insights into the universe in which the game takes place.
DigTek Apps
11 iOS apps built on constraint philosophy – "Less, but better"
Philosophy
DigTek is a Norwegian indie development company creating privacy-friendly iOS apps based on a philosophy of "constraint as liberation." Each product has radically focused scope, privacy-first design, and no tracking.
Life as User Experience
A book about applying software principles to life
Concept
"Life as User Experience" explores how software principles can be applied to life design. Seasonal adjustment, graceful degradation, intentional defaults, appropriately unfinished – all concepts that make sense beyond code.
Norwegian Concepts Integrated
Self-regulation through design, not discipline
Wisdom from observing how things actually work
Flourishing in relation to physical environment
Pleasantly imperfect, comfortable without being optimal
"Your life, as currently constructed, is optimized for something. The question is: what?"
Morgenbadet
A Norwegian-language blog about technology and life's vicissitudes. "Iskalde grøss, eller forfriskende og oppkvikkende" (icy shivers, or refreshing and invigorating) – long, reflective essays exploring philosophy, paradoxes, and personal experiences.
