Hello, my name is Pierre and I’m a human being born in 1984 that live on top of the world.
I’m an interfusing generalist with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I love system thinking and discovering signals in the noise.
Sins and punishment

Robbing yourself
Life is the only thing you can rob from yourself.

too far
i know the way i hurt you but i can’t comprehend why i let me i’m afraid to know how you feel seeing me again so i dare not look back to see if you’re there i know it’s not for me to wish but i wish i’d see you smile so i’ll know you weren’t consumed by my doing and while i wish i wish i’d see you see me so i could let my silent remorse be said that i know i took it too far

The Destination
I love the road to there, but not getting to there.

An Arctic Sunset-rise
Greenland’s National Day is the day of summer solstice, when our daylight is at its longest. The midnight sun barely hits the horisont before it turns upwards again.
This is a picture taken from my bedroom, a few hours after the sun kissed the horisont. It’ll be another month before we have nautical twilight.
Behind the Scenes: Streaming concert
The 4th of June there was a live online concert streamed simultaneously from Nuuk (Greenland), Reykjavík (Iceland) and Tórshavn (Faroe Islands).
The Remains of the Commonwealth is a musical abstraction of the Danish Commonwealth where the three members of the group are playing live from the three geographical locations of Nuuk, Greenland, Reykjavik, Iceland and Torshavn in the Faroe Islands. Live performance combined with streaming.
Excerpt from the Livestream on Youtube
The performing artists were Miké Thomsen (GL), Jesper Pedersen (IS) and Heðin Ziska Davidsen (FO).
I assisted the streaming from Nuuk. Here’s some behind the scenes photos.
Here’s a short part of the performance. The rest of the performance can be viewed on Youtube.
