#48 Technology Of The Voice
- Johan Landgren
Let us step inside the recording studio. Here, the identity we call pop singer is produced. It is this dream factory which makes the voice you hear on the radio something completely other than just a human being singing.

#39 Urban Narratives
A round table discussion with Meira Ahmemulic, Antonio Scarponi and Elin Wikström.
Adapted to text by Katja Aglert, Martijn van Berkum and Janna Holmstedt
In the context of SQUID, we found out in 2008 that urban and narrative were the most common search words, or themes, used in the SQUID archive. The varieties in approaching, investigating, or tip-toeing around these themes are as many as the number of contributions. Nevertheless, we thought it was an interesting thread we had stumbled upon and felt compelled to follow up and decided to do this under the theme of Urban Narrative.

#32 Scrambles Amongst The Alps
- Martijn van Berkum I'm convinced that you cannot describe nature, not philosophically, nor in a scientific manner and, not in the last place, not from an aesthetic point of view either. The moment you start describing it, studying or painting it, nature is undone and becomes something different altogether: a dissertation, a story, or an art work, anything that fits into a human framework of understanding. It's a Bermuda triangle of philosophy, science and culture in which nature disappears.

#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.
The English text will become available soon.

#17 Lost Homing Pigeons
- Melissa Dubbin & Aaron S. Davidson On Sept. 11 2002 a group of 80 pigeons, posing as white doves evoking peace, were released in the New York City
area. It was a tribute that went quickly awry as a fundamental misunderstanding became apparent. These pigeons
from a poultry market, originally destined for soup, were confused with homing pigeons- resilient birds that after
release are able to navigate to homes up to 600 miles away.

#11 Drifting Through Incomplete Renovation
- What is to be done/CHTO DELAT?If you look at a map of Petersburg, you will immediately see that Narvskaya Zastava is an isolated zone,
surrounded by a ring of factories, railroad tracks and shipyards. Before the revolution, it was part of the city's
proletarian outskirts, an historical hotbed of dissent. The historical decision to begin the October Revolution was
made here.

#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.
