This year\u2019s theme is \u201cAlienation\u201d, and Momentum\u2019s curators have worked hard to provide a comprehensive event that goes beyond the scope of the traditional biennial. That means, in addition to tried-and-true formats such as installations, film works, and sculptures, Momentum also includes non-traditional interdisciplinary works like comic books, novels and podcasts too. Despite a summer filled with art events deemed disappointing and uninspired by most critics, it\u2019s refreshing to see a biennial that forces visitors outside of their comfort zones. Though the entire programme presents enough work to make Momentum 9 worthy of a visit, the event\u2019s must-see piece comes from Norwegian collective Trollkrem.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Momentum_9_PRESS_WebRes-076.jpg\" alt=\"Trollkrem deepdownbelow momentum 9\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" \/><br \/>\nHoused inside the Momentum Kunsthalle, Trollkrem \u2013 an artist duo comprising Tor Erik B\u00f8e and Jennie Hagevik Bringaker \u2013 have built an elaborate seascape made up of moss-covered boulders, an inflatable hot tub and VR goggles. Entitled &#8220;Deepdownbelow&#8221; the immersive work serves as an exploration of the alien, unknown environment that exists inside the ocean&#8217;s deepest layers. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the artist-made habitat, and are invited to go so far as to take a dip in the hot tub if they wish. These tangible additions all serve to make the virtual performance \u2013 a 7-minute video performance of beautiful seapunk mermaids drinking and lounging \u2013 feel all the more real. Dolphin calls are even incorporated into electronic beats to create a soothing, aquatic ambience. A selection of swimwear designed by Norwegian designer Siv St\u00f8ldal sits nearby the installation, and visitors have the option to try-on one of the streetwear-influenced pieces for the full experience.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Momentum_9_PRESS_HighRes-083.jpg\" alt=\"Momentum_9_PRESS_HighRes-083\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" \/><br \/>\nFor Momentum 9&#8217;s press preview in June, Trollkrem offered a live action interpretation of &#8220;Deepdownbelow&#8221;. Taking place along Moss&#8217; rocky shoreline, performers greeted guests like true sirens of the sea and offered various jugs of murky-coloured elixirs \u2013 concoctions which remain a mystery to this day. Whale meat was fed to the truly adventurous, and journalists were taken out of their comfort zone just as Momentum&#8217;s curators intended.<br \/>\nFor those unable to attend Momentum 9, Trollkrem has uploaded their VR performance onto YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LszMOuqU5Nw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hier<\/a>.
