Theodor Barth
(Dr. Philos. Anthropology) is a professor of theory & writing at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). In reverse chronology: KHiO, SINTEF, ARENA and NUPI. His work has been significantly concerned with involving writing in artistic practices; more broadly, with writing as a signature of wayfinding under conditions of criticality. His practice has hatched from keeping a diary under field-conditions to an archival project at KHiO (nicknamed Project Spinoza). This practice has been broadened by: a) exploring collaborations in experimental archaeology; b) collaborating with the Section for Pictures, Prints and Conservation at the National Library on environmental humanities and archival research (connecting related areas under the Norwegian constitution’s §112).
