Bø’s approach to creating art is concept-based, and therefore techniques and materials vary for each project. His most recent works look at the authoritarian visual rhetoric of power, both used in political and commercial mass communication as well as in architecture and design. He probes various constructions of content as manifested on a building’s façade, a page’s layout, or as a politician’s speech. These strategies represent a simplified but powerful language. His work focuses on this leading and seductive interaction and its relation to content, for example by re-contextualization or isolation of imagery and form.
