#10 The Heroes Of Absolute Zero
- Janna Holmstedt The first days of the experiment had been uncomfortable, claustrophobic. Imagined sounds caused him to react
as if someone was just outside - knocking, steps, distant conversations. But they were only sound memories. The
only thing that there was to listen to in fact was the murmuring of his own blood circulation.

#9 Poetry Is What Gets Lost In Translation
- Ylva MazettiAs I, in any situation where emotions are called upon, invariably turn to vocabulary to facilitate and comprehend,
I also understand the arts through words. Every visual question, statement and sensation needs to pass through
this internal transformer...in order for me to place it in the correct category in the winding tunnels of my
comprehension to store for further interpretation.

#7 Through The Home Tunnel
- Veronica Brovall I live in the house during the construction of the sculpture. I cut myself on bamboo sticks, bump into the large
spades that poke out of the tunnels. They dig, hollow out the house to make a new existence in it. I have nowhere
to sit - the chairs have either knives or bamboo fastened to them - the refrigerator is covered with staples.

#5 The Melancholy Of Evolution
- Po Hagström Today there are 1,600,000 registered species on earth. It is reckoned that around 320,000 of them will have
disappeared by the year 2020. Around 2050 it is assumed that every other species (800,000 species) will have

#4 For The Love Of Foucault
- Marcus SteinwegWhy Michel Foucault? Because philosophy in Foucault's sense is a PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, an act of solitude.
The solitude of the subject of philosophical experience has nothing to do with pathetic or narcissistic, depressive
self-enclosure. The solitude of the philosophical subject is an act of resistance. The subject resists the easiness of
mere opinion. It opens itself to new experiences, the EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW SELF.

#3 Crystal Palace
- Camilla Bergqvist A strong dazzling sun from a cloudless blue sky. Glass facades emerge in the sunlight. A house of glass looms into
view. A panning and presentation of a city constructed entirely of glass: Crystal Palace.
[...] we wish everyone a good morning. Today in room 101 we'll be showing a film on the legendary mountain, Mt.
Everest, which according to our sources reaches around 8848 m. At the same time, in room 314, the classical
costume drama, Room with a view, will be screened. For children, there will be a visit by a clown.

#2 The Story As Seen From A Moving Viewpoint
- Yukie KamiyaAs a result of filmic expression that has benefited from technological advances, the fusion of 'the visual' and 'the narrative' is now resulting in unprecedented forms of expression. What kinds of stories are being told by artists
who have acquired the medium of 'the moving image?' How are these stories being told? The focus of this essay
will be on storytelling in the medium of the moving image, which has seen a rapid growth since the mid-nineties.

#1 "I Have Never Seen A Girl Wearing a Muslim Headscarf on Television Without It Being About The Scarf..."
- A conversation with Rikke Andreassen by Ellen NymanI am at an art exhibition in Germany, watching an educational fi lm on how to use a condom for protection against
AIDS. The film is from South Africa. One of the women at the lesson giggles and smiles shyly, as she pulls a
condom over a wooden phallus. Her friends are in stitches and the situation exudes lust and
powerlessness. I am watching the film, surrounded by happy German art lovers. But they are no longer looking at
the film. They are looking at me with well-meaning expressions on their faces.
