Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard works within a multidisciplinary artistic practice that ranges from composition and sound art to performance, conceptual art, and visual art.
He regards his work as fundamental research into realities and is interested in how bubble-like systems manifest themselves as human conditions.
Løkkegaard is particularly interested in the concept of instrumentalization and what (Western) instruments can signify, as well as what they can control and accomplish. Consequently, he often works with musical instruments not only as sources of sound, but also as cultural markers embedded in various systems and hierarchies. This drives Løkkegaard’s work and has led to musical compositions that can be performed by people with or without prior musical knowledge or training.
