#30 20th Century Type Coins
- Marc Ganzglass 20th Century Type Coins is a radio play about two characters hoarding coins. The two characters compare sorting reports and tactics for acquiring coins based on their value as raw material. They talk about metallurgy and the implications of federal control apparatus. The play is presented as an animatic video- a roughly animated storyboard.

#29 Genusvägrarmanifestet / The Manifesto Of Gender-Refusal / Le Manifeste Anti-Genre
- A. K. Westin This "manifesto", which emerged in its first version six years ago, was initially intended to become an agitatorial sound-piece consisting of ambiguous voices in several languages. It ended up a backdrop and an insistent reminder while I was pondering other less agitatorial pieces relating to gender, gender neutrality and transgression of gender.

#28 New Territories In Acre And Why They Matter: Notes On Hope And "The Game" Of Coexistence
- Marjetica Potrc The Croa River community consists of approximately four hundred families spread out across eighty thousand hectares of Amazonian forest. They aspire to see the land they inhabit become an extraction reserve, and in fact, it is in the process of becoming precisely this: one of the new territories in Acre. As such, it is a good example of the current trend toward territorialization in the Brazilian state. It is also a good example of what territories stand for: self-organization, sustainable growth, and local knowledge.

#27 Ma And The Four Dimensional Concept Of Reality In Today's Tokyo
- Ninia SverdrupDuring the last few years, I have in my art been working with the understanding of time in different ways. When I spent a few months in NYC in 2002 it became apparent to me that I often understood time as a part of space. I saw time as a variable of space, and I found it difficult to separate that which has already happened from what is happening in the present. This made me question my linear perception of time.

#26 Obligatory Passage Point
- Collaboration between Linus Elmes, Linda Soneryd, Jens Soneryd,
Milo Lavén, Elin Strand, Tove Lamm Stråhle,
Jo Rideout and Per Nyström.
Point out a compass course and make an investigation. Make it a game. Investigate the relation between you as a citizen and the resistance of the city, when you are walking a straight line, following a pre-defined compass course. Investigate what obstacles your body will meet: the air friction; other bodies; ditches you are forced to go down into and up again as they pass your way.

#25 A Parallel Script To The Film: The Dream Of A Book
- Beata BerggrenImage: A very sunny late summers day at the southern coast of Sweden. On the beach a placard has been erected, 3,60 x 2,55 meters. Behind it, the sea and the sandy beach. The sun stands low and shines like a lamp on the placard. A shimmering light from the sea. The placard is painted with straight lines, in the same colors as the sky, the sea and the beach. It is quite windy and Dad is standing behind the placard, holding a rope to straighten it up. On the placard it is written:

#24 06.04.02
- Jelena Rundqvist SQUID said they wanted me to write about that which triggers me, which makes me want to do things, create. The things that give me energy, something important to me and thus also a part of my work as an artist. I thought it would be fun to write. Exciting. Possibly demanding, but in a challenging way. I was thinking I was going to write about Seinfeld.

#23 Theme, again.
- Fredric Gunve
Part 2 of “All Talk, No Action” (see below).
To deal with, and act within the artistic field today is to make a choice:
-Either you are with us or against us!
And we all know that the second option does not exist. There is no “against us”, we are already “with” from the very beginning, and probably all the way to the end.

- What themes do you work with??
