While I do not know the artist, this large wooden hand somehow represents philosophies by Ludwig Wittgenstein, an Austrian who lived in Skjolden to get away from people. He studied mathematics under Bertrand Russell, while working on his PhD at Cambridge. He died in 1951, at the age of 62, in Cambridge.

Wittgenstein’s logic work had a profound effect on computer science. His writings on logic influenced hardware and software design, and his later theories on language and rules helped shape machine learning and natural language processing.

The view of the back: yeah, crazy.
