GØR DIN PLIGT OG KRÆV DIN UDREDNING / DO YOUR DUTY AND DEMAND YOUR EVALUATION is a hand-carved relief in recycled XPS foam, 180 × 80 cm, installed at Midt- og Vestsjællands Hospital as part of FORSTADIER / PRECURSORS. The work is based on a sketch generated using locally run AI models powered by certified green energy. Installation photo: Morten K Jacobsen. Curated by Morten K Jacobsen.
The title and carving rewrite a motto carried on Danish trade union banners from around 1900: “GØR DIN PLIGT OG KRÆV DIN RET” — Do Your Duty and Demand Your Right. Replacing “Ret” (right) with “Udredning” (evaluation) shifts the slogan from the language of solidarity and entitlement to the language of the healthcare system, where the right to care has become a bureaucratic process to be navigated and waited for.
The sketch was generated by a Qwen image model, which then inspired the hand carving — reversing the usual dynamic, where the human prompts the algorithm.
FORSTADIER / PRECURSORS is a duo exhibition with Aske Thiberg (@askweee), circling the iconography of the healthcare system — the clinical room, the language of care, the institutional forms — with detours into bias in language models, datasets, isolation and alienation. At the gallery, the video LEDDYRSOMSORG / ARTHROPOD CARE is accompanied by full-scale sculptures, signs and leaflets. On view until 11 April 2026.
