THE
WORD OF LANGUAGE
In
the year 2000 the 7 famous mountains surrounding Bergen entered
the world of language. When hiking to the summit of each mountain
during the summer months and passing a sound-installation, each
mountain presented its' own unique little mountain speech.
But
to have mountains speak took 3 years and challenged the digital
technology as well as "The Academic-Know-How" within and
outside the mountains.
And
along the way The Speaking Mountains wondered why they were such
a challenge ?

WITTGENSTEIN
PHILOSOPHERS
When
asking the Wittgenstein-Philosophers The Speaking Mountains were
accused of turning common concepts upside-down in a paradoxical
and absurd way.
They
traveled to the native in the north: The Sami, who found it unnecessary
to have mountains speak since the communication already existed
between man and nature. Except one Sami: Dr. of Law, Ande Somby,
who had a true dialog with the Speaking Mountains.

SOCIOLOGY
& FINE ARTS
The
Sociology found it possible to communicate with mountains and most
of all necessary to recognize this new member of the language despite
it's difference to others. Though, the mountains could suffer from
speaking disorders like dyslexia or aphasia and thereby explain
our inability to understand them. The Sociology suggested Psykoanalytic
Methods as another possibility for further investigation of the
phenomenon of communication with mountains.
The
Fine Arts situated The Speaking Mountains within a"Metha-Physical-Surplus":
it is only true because we believe it to be.
