Since the early 1990s Peter Hagdahl has worked with new media and is one of Sweden s most acclaimed artists within the field. Hagdahl s art grows out of an interactive process that involves dialogue and collaboration in diverse fields such as cultural theory, informatics, urbanism and science. These encounters have extended the framework for distributing and showing his work outside galleries and museums to extensive public commissions and platforms such as net-art forums, workshops, live events and streamings. Influence, change and transformation are key concepts in Hagdahl s work. The apparently stable is transformed into the ephemeral and volatile, thus questioning the dichotomy between the two. His works are often critical comments on, or investigations of, the new social reality that information technology creates. A recurring theme is the construction of various systems reflecting the complex weave of connections and dependences out of which contemporary society is constructed.
