Hrund Atladóttir hefur fengist við mynd og vídjólist árum saman og komið víða við. Hún skapar verk á hreyfingu og notast oft við skjá sem miðil. Verkin umbreytast stundum frá annarri vídd, yfir í þá þriðju og verða að skúlptúrum í raunveruleikanum. Þau geta breyst í sýndarveruleika þar sem áhorfandinn sjálfur verður að skúlptúr sem brúar bilið milli tveggja vídda.

Hrund vinnur með tímann og hvernig hann líður mishratt eftir víddum, hraðast á internetinu en hægast í náttúrunni.

Svo eitthvað sé nefnt hefur hún breytt Kópavogskirkju í mosavaxin álfaminnisvarða og Sportbar Bjarna Fel í kakofónískt kaos. Á laugardaginn mun hún með tónlist Kiru Kiru að leiðarljósi umbreyta Mengi í UNAðslegann Sci-fi náttúruleiðangur.

Í augnarblikinu vinnur hún að sinni fyrstu teiknimynd í fullri lengd sem gerist á Hálendi Íslands framtíðarinnar.

Kira gaf í upphafi sumars út hugleiðsluplötuna “Unu,” sína fimmtu sólóplötu hjá breska útgáfufyrirtækinu Letra Recs sem stofnað var af The Tape Loop Orchestra.
Þremur vikum síðan kom “Motions Like These” út -samstarfsplata hennar og Eskmo á leibeli hans, Ancestor Media í Los Angeles. Hún er nú að vinna í heimildarmynd um Jóhann Jóhannsson ásamt Orra Jónssyni og Davíð Hörgdal Stefánsson í samstarfi við Join Motion Pictures.

SUMMER SCI-FI ) KIRA KIRA / HRUND ATLADÓTTIR
-AUDIO VISUAL SITUATION

An immersive video + music experience / good natured meditation trans with Hrund & Kira.

Hrund Atladóttir creates animated works mostly using video as her medium. The work transforms from the second dimension into the third towards sculptural objects and virtual reality. Her subjects have much to do with nature and the different timelines that exist between the natural world and the digital one.

Hrund recently transformed a Church into a moss sculpture using projection mapping and a sportbar into a cacophonian mess.

Next Saturday she will transform Mengi into who knows what using the music of Kira Kira as the guiding light on a Sci-Fi iang nature oriented journey to bliss.

She is currently working on her first animated feature that takes place in the Icelandic highlands of the future.
