Carl Michael von Hausswolff is a composer, visual artist and curator based in Stockholm. His main tools are recording technology (camera, tape recorder, radar and sonar) used to explore electricity, frequencies, architectonic rooms and paranormal electronic interference.

Hausswolff participated during the first international theatre festival in Bergen in 1984. This concept later became BIT Teatergarasjen. The performance group Phauss performed the production Effigiatus homo deus signatur in auro - Phauss goes to the mountains in search for the gold from midnight in the then newly established wharf USF Verftet. It included among other things hen the audience believed were slaughtered during the performance, something which caused great furore in the national media.

Conversation:

Sven Åge Birkeland and Tone Tjemsland were two of the three directors for Teatertreff 84, the international theatre festival in Bergen 1984. Tjemsland, who is now CEO for Carte Blanche, was the producer and Birkeland has since then been artistic director for BIT Teatergarasjen. With Carl Michael von Hausswolff they looked back at the event in USF Verftet and reflected over the local and international art stage throughout the past 25 years.
