Things They Don’t In Florida – AI Augmented Browser Based Experience

Previous slide Next slide Things They Don’t In FloridaAI-Augmented Browser-Based Experience This part of Mårten Spångberg’s contribution to the Nanaimo/Nordic collaboration one day showed up completely out of the blue. Happy go lucky perhaps or the contingent result of research, study, doubt and deliberately getting lost. It’s rare with projects that allow for the form […]

Dance’ Necessity

We all know that manifestos traditionally and necessarily are light on practical details and heavy on rhetorical ambitions. Still, recent times have to an increasing extent demanded a mighty claim for dance and dancing. Why is it necessary to dance? In the first place, and especially in periods when our world and the earth need […]

Zooming In Zoning Out how

In a rather mediocre film from the early 00’s, Kevin Spacey’s character, an American university professor lecturing freshmen, states: “You get Lacan’s point? Fantasies have to be unrealistic, because the moment, the second you get what you seek, you don’t, you can’t want it anymore. In order to continue to exist desire must have its […]

This or That but Never a Little Bit

It’s curious how the English language has been gifted with both freedom and liberty, whereas other Western languages have had to choose only one. One can wonder if Brits, Americans and related are so desperate they need two terms for the same thing, or if the double shot makes them twice as free and liberated? The […]

To Itself as Itself

At a dinner party somebody responds, “Yeah, but however much money, you’d still be looking for a good deal.” The conversation ricocheted and I never grabbed the chance to voice whatever position, but to me it’s obvious, the only interest in economic wealth is in order not to have to bother about money. Rich I […]

Stories and Landscapes

I don’t want more stories. Who decided that they are unconditionally good and that storytelling is making the world a better place? Actually, I don’t want more images either, not at all, but first stories. I wake up to stories, live them throughout the day and before turning off the bedside lamp I pass through […]

I Will Always Love You

Dolly Parton wrote the song ”I Will Always Love You” as a farewell to her business partner and mentor Porter Wagoner. It was a great song when it came out in 1974, sang with a genuine Parton vibe, after all, she wrote it and performed it. It was her emotions, her goodbye. In 1992 Whitney […]

The Making of Worlds

Many years ago in a small theatre, a brief conversation with the person next to me. I was on the edge of surprised when she, in her mid-thirties, made clear that she had nothing to with performing arts. Perhaps slightly prejudiced, but in particular as she wasn’t in company with a friend. She expressed that […]

Just Dancing

When my daughter, like other children, didn’t start drawing and painting animals, houses or families, I got a little concerned. I convinced myself it was completely normal but still, and after some time I decided that maybe, while painting together, I could ask her what she was creating. Busy with acrylics, painting on small canvases, […]

I’m For Choreography – both choreo- and -graphy part

On the bike this morning I came across a graffiti. “Pure hate” sprayed on a wall, obviously in black but with quotation marks, caught me thinking, that’s philosophically kind of complex. Pure hate cannot be attached to an object or phenomenon, cannot be directional or emanate out of a subject, a human or a ghost. […]
