Konsekvensanalys for the Board Room at the Stockholm School of Economics (Impact analysis for the...), 2016, by Bella Rune is a site-specific commission and part of Rune's project Konsekvensanalys (impact analysis). Konsekvensanalys is a project where the artist explores the interface between physical reality and a virtual world with augmented reality (AR).

 

Through an app called "konsekvensanalys", developed by the artist, visitors can engage with the AR artwork. Pointing the camera on one's phone toward the old paintings in the board room, Rune's virtual artwork will emerge, giving the men in the paintings a new context.

 

The project Konsekvensanalys has been displayed in exhibitions at Stadsskogen in Uppsala, Konstmuseet i Norr in Kiruna, at Tensta Konsthall in Stockholm, and at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, Russia. We have two site-specific, permanent, installations of Konsekvensanalys at SSE: one in the Board Room and one in the Heckscher-Ohlin Room (Konsekvensanalys för Handelshögskolan, 2018). The installations are part of the SSE permanent art collection.
