Dear, 

this is an attempt at a newsletter since I am slowly but surely trying to leave the social media sphere or at the very least, the fascist ones. It will be a sporadic send out when there are some news to tell, if you don't want to be on this list to receive them, please do let me know! <3  

I am on my way to Malmö and Intonal Festival to be part of a thing called "Enjoy the Unknovvvn" its a three day gathering curated by SDVVVorks where they invited artists and researches to meet and share around the topics on technology, minerals, art and ghosts. I had the great pleasure of inviting the artist Marja-Leena Sillanpää to host a seance. There will be exhibitions and concerts and everything is free!

Tomorrow Saturday 26.04 at 12.00 I will share some of my research around minerals, ghosts, our digital technologies and their wastelands and techno-fossils. This autumn i traveled to China and the city Baotou, a place where most of our rare earth minerals are mined which are then used for our digital devices, drones, and electric cars. I will share some about this visit. It will be a performance lecture and a meditation on toxicity, followed by a panel talk with amongst others, Hjalmar Fors, who is a historian specializing on alchemy and mine-spirits. I am very very much looking forward! Its at Claesgatan 14, hope to see you there!

Also, had the pleasure writing about this ghostly lake and artificial intelligence for Carolyn F. Strauss latest collection of essays: Slow Technology Reader, a book published by Valiz that is expected to come in August. https://valiz.nl/en/publications/slow-technology-reader If you are interested in these topics, I can very much recommend to listen to Carolyns podcast, AI murmurings, its its absolutely brilliant. https://www.slowlab.net/Resources-PODCAST-AI-Murmurings

In July 2 and 3rd, we have the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of performing (headbang) at JULIDANS festival in Amsterdam. Its a piece I absolutely love to perform, where Charlie Laban Trier and I are headbanging for an hour in a box with 40 liters of slime made from flax seeds while Josefin Runsteen is drumming and singing her brilliant poetry of sound epos. Its ecstatic, messy as hell, silly and sluggish (like slugs (like leopard slugs mating!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWwCMivDO2Q&ab_channel=afauclair)). It might be the last time it will be showed in this form and shape so don't miss this lovely beast! https://julidans.nl/en/shows/headbang/5172745/

And a final note, as everyone else I guess, I've been kinda perplexed and busy with trying to understand the world we live in lately, the violence, the genocide, the greed and individualism. If you have texts or news that help guide you, please do send them along because I am hungry for it. I found this text by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor beautiful and insightful https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk aswell as an interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SuNtj6ye0U&t=972s&ab_channel=ChanCentreforthePerformingArts with Anohni and Naomi Klein where Anohni talks beautifully about the earth and asks the question: "Have they ever stopped to consider, that this might be her best most beautiful idea?"
