But just in the nick of time humanity is saved – because the aliens witness a performance piece, and decide that there is still hope for humans after all.

Crossing Water Street and turning right on to Front Street, walking along the back side of the 27 storey building, entering the open loading dock. Inside the garage; a security guard in uniform on his stool, a tv-monitor on his table. Behind a metal door; a temporary particle board maze, which leads to an elevator. A ride up, the door opens at number 10. A florescent light is flickering and humming. I continue through the corridor, in to my detective office.

Back in 1999 when I first started putting together my scrapbook of literary coincidences, let's just call them that for now, I cut out parts of articles, interviews, memoirs, essays, diaries, any printed text wherein was recounted various examples of how life imitates art.

In the center of the large wall behind the desk hangs a plastic sleeve with a book inside. Judging by its colors and ornate typography, the book is evidently quite a few years old. On its cover is emblazoned an obsolete sounding title: Sagan om den Stora Datamaskinen (Eng: The Saga of the Big Computer machine. A vision by Olof Johannesson).

It is not strange then that artist Alessandra Di Pisa in her latest work Buying The Museum takes a shot at the very core of the art institution, but this time from a perspective seldom pursued by artists when she aimed at buying the actual institution, thus totally shifting the power relations.

What follows is an unsorted, nonhierarchical and partly arbitrary selection of characters who have influenced our work. A family album, a list of usual suspects, your average perpetrators - or maybe just a side show of funny faces, assembled together from our library of eyes, noses, ears, facial hair et cetera.

There were several books on the bookshelf that I was too short to reach, and one who didn’t fit amongst the others because of its size: it was being kept on the desk in the office instead. The book of chronicles. I learned to read fairly late, and I started out with this one. “The 20th century chronicles”. I was sitting with it for days on end. All through the night, secretly. The cover was a collage of scientists, presidents, celebrities, emigrants, wars and athletes. It was rather easy to grasp, well arranged with two months worth of time for every page spread: history begun in January of 1900 and ended, abruptly, in December of 1987.

In my luggage, on my first trip to Svolvær in January 2008, I had a couple of guidebooks on the Lofoten Islands in Norway - not containing a word on what interested me the most - the migration patterns of humans and animals in the area. Humans have obviously always been on the move, despite enormous social and geographical barriers. It's a fascinating thought. Migration does, in fact, contain fantastic potential for evolution and growth, both for the individuals and for the society - economically, socially, and culturally.

20th Century Type Coins is a radio play about two characters hoarding coins. The first - Ephraim, is a scholar, an empiricist and a diligent coin collector. The other character - Mungo, is impetuous, anti-authoritarian and a survivalist. The two characters compare sorting reports and tactics for acquiring coins based on their value as raw material.

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.

One thing leads to another - so can the world be related. Causal connections above and beyond the easily predictable make me curious and therefore the chain of effects motif occupies an important place in my work, especially as a narrative means.
