挪威艺术家Trond Kasper Mikkelsen与1976年出生于Oslo，7岁时搬迁到Grimstad，19岁因为学习艺术又回到Oslo，并在2004年取得了奥斯陆国家艺术学院（Oslo National College of the Arts ）的纯艺术硕士学位，自2003年开始自己国际性的艺术展览。
TKM的背景是绘画和音乐（实验电子）、雕塑、金属制品；最近他迷恋起编程艺术、电脑动画和芭比娃娃。目前他作为电脑动画建模老师受雇于奥斯陆国家艺术学院。
他的作品主题总是在质疑功能和设计的功能性，以及设计概念和美观、实用性间的关系。过去7年间他通过机械设计来研究这些问题。从他的作品中我们就可以看出，TMK绝不是一个苦心研究枯燥理论的人；可以说他介于科学怪人、黑色幽默和反讽之间，身份则一会是物理学家、一会是互动装置艺术家、一会又是建筑师。
比如他的作品系列Wearables（可佩带的）便是希望创作一组可以帮助人们体验更多现代生活经验的配饰。换句话说，就是帮助身体达到更好的延展功能。其中Metamorphosis是一支戒指，它拥有花瓣一般可以打开的太阳能板，在你将其张开佩带时，它会吸取光能。创作这样的作品不仅需要CAD设计基础、大量的绘画设计草图，同时耗费人工和材料，具有试验性。

Trond Kasper Mikkelsen is a Norwegian artist working out of Oslo (N) and Milano (I). He was born in 1976 in Oslo, moved to Grimstad at the age of 7, and returned to Oslo for art-studies at the age of 19. He finished his Master of Fine Arts at the Oslo National College of the Arts in 2004 and has been exhibiting internationally since 2003. His background is from painting and music (contemporary experimental electronica) through sculpture and metal-work, and his latest obsessions include vector art, computer animation and Barbie-dolls. He is currently employed at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts as a teacher of computer modeling and Rapid technology.
His main body of work is focused around questions about function and functionality, and the relationship between these concepts and ideas of beauty and usefulness. He has been working for about 7 years with the development of functional yet absurd mechanical instruments that express some of these questions. He also does larger installation projects and interactive work in cooperation with other artists, most often as one half of the group permanently/temporary.
