Bård Torgersen

Bård Torgersen serves as Associate Professor at the School of Arts, Design and Media, Kristiania University of Applied Sciences, specifically within the Westerdals Department of Creativity, Storytelling and Design. Born in 1967, he emerged from Norway's post-punk underground as co-founder of Nemlig Hemlig and electronica pioneers Superskill before establishing himself as a major literary figure following his 2005 novel debut Everything Must Go Away.

His creative practice centers on avant-garde literature, multimedia narrative experimentation, and subcultural expression, consistently dissolving boundaries between music and text. Torgersen's work explores sound poetry integration, experimental fiction structures, and interdisciplinary artistic forms, reflecting his dual background in electronic music and literary innovation. His international performances across Europe, Japan, and North America demonstrate the global resonance of his boundary-pushing approach.

Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals escalating complexity in narrative form and thematic depth, with recent works like Eat Earth (2024) and the forthcoming Let's Do This Together (2025) demonstrating sophisticated integration of multimedia elements and subcultural critique. His bibliography consistently engages with contemporary Norwegian society through experimental lenses while maintaining international relevance through translations in Germany, USA, and England.
