Aftenposten, 31.08.15
“The artists in the new exhibition at Trafo are keen to create something that is more than just a demonstration that they are skilled craftspeople… if we dig deep enough we will be able to rediscover ourselves in the most impersonal mechanisms, something that Glen Farley’s Secrets II shows. The sculpture, consisting of a section of an anonymous forest floor, comes alive when we press a button. Up from the foliage rises a camera that projects a montage of pictures on the wall – fragments of a life that we need to create a context for.”

“A form of nostalgia develops quickly when things are set in motion within an institution, whether it is classical mechanical Victorian times (Myskja), the rainy shortcut home from school through the woods (Farley), or Surrealist’s vision of an accidental meeting (Nielsen ). However, I recommend this exhibition without reservation; take a trip to Asker … ”

The sculpture “Research” received over 100 written comments – fantastic, many thanks! Sorry I cannot publish all of them…
I liked it a lot! Made me wonder about several things. Hmm. Well executed!
Best piece in the exhibition!
Very cool art!
Terrible!
Damn, this is good! Regards, Johanna, 16
What is this supposed to show? Is it a military exercise?
Unnecessary research
Mulla Krekar!
Why is there a caveman?
I was surprised and wonder how long it took to create this
Cool and strange
Nonsense!
Dark at work, darker at home
Cool mirror
Who is the man in the white coat? WHO IS HE?
If this Scenario A is better than the abandoned Scenario B, I am curious about the reason behind this! Anette, Larvik
Clever and fun! Nils from Hammerfest
Never look out at the world. You might see the truth.
I have a lot of questions – 1. How does this thing work? 2. How does it get the electricity? 3. What is the tin can used for? 4. Is the man Osama Bin Laden? 5. Who is the man with the white lab coat? 6. How does it move without a remote control? 7. What is the yellow house? Why are the drums there?
All work and no play – but I learn. Pleasure and Pain, light and dark, temptation and evil, learning and work, hot and cold

Our lives together on the earth are filled with daily rainbows that are found within us all
Silly
I started to run around and call to my friend. FUN!

Communist
Hm…?
It looks like an experiment with people who are working. Mons 10 years old
Created interest and expectation on progress – interactivity
I felt relieved after seeing this piece
I thought it was cool but I didn’t get the point of it
