Waterfront Sculpture in Tromsø

Body:

Bárru/ Bølge / Wave

Valentin Manz

2022

drivved, plast fra havet / driftwood, plastic from the sea

Swell. Crest. Break.

Water is the blood of earth. Now soft, now hard, now invisible. Now sweet, now salt. Now held, now released.

Swell: There is no ‘away’.

Crest: Plastic is in our bodies, in every sea, in rain.

Break?

Story part:

Body:

X åpner øynene. I et lite øyeblikk er hun ikke sikker på hvor hun er, hvor hun har vært, hva hjernen hennes har gjort de siste åtte timene. Hun skvetter til idet telefonen gir henne beskjed om at hun har fått en ny melding. Den spiller lyden av {{sound}}. En favoritt over lang tid. Hun leser beskjeden. Den er fra moren hennes, på familiens gruppechat. “Har du lyst til å bli med meg til hytten, Y?” “Kanskje, men jeg må spare kreditt ❤️, X”. skriver X. Moren vet at Y ikke lenger er navnet hennes. Y var en annen person, med en annen kropp, og han er borte nå. Prøver moren å få fram et poeng? “Bare gi meg beskjed, X.” Kanskje tiden da det var ubegrenset med trådløs stråling har gjort henne glemsom likevel. X tar seg selv i å fantasere om at moren hennes en dag {{prove_sorry}}? Enda en øvelse i å være skuffet. X tenker på {{upset}}, og kjenner at det knyter seg i magen. Øynene er lukket, hun sukker og knuten løser seg opp. “Det er for tidlig for alt dette,” tenker hun og surfer på telefonen i noen minutter. Temperaturen er på vei opp til syv grader celsius i dag. Et blikk ut av vinduet, mot de høye fjelltoppene på andre siden av fjorden, bekrefter at gårsdagens snølag er borte. Det er lavvann. I Nature 2.0 har de høye fjelltoppene snø året rundt. Vanskelig å tro. X ser for seg faren sin som peker på den tidligere tregrensen i Nature og sier: “Jeg lastet opp disse bildene i 2029, da jeg var 18 år gammel, fordi jeg hadde et ønske om at du skulle få se snø.” X ser på noen bilder av {{animal}}ene. Den nyeste videoen til Mountain Fresh Water tar over skjermen. Uansett, tenker X, hvis jeg skal bruke kreditten min på å tilbringe tid i Nature 2.0, så vil jeg heller dra til {{Favourite location}} enn mammas virtuelle minne av den gamle ‘familiehytta’. Hvis jeg blir hos Mountain Fresh Water i ti måneder til, så gir de meg rabatt på et ubegrenset Nature-abonnement, men er det verdt det? Hun svinger benene ut av sengen og skjærer en grimase. Den venstre foten hennes er klissete. Hvorfor er den venstre foten klissete? Hun ser ned med avsky. Foten hennes sitter fast i en tallerken med alge-{{liked_food}} fra gårsdagens middag. G må ha satt den der for å gjøre opp for det som skjedde i går, selv om hun egentlig ikke kan ta seg råd til å spise mindre enn hun gjør. “Æsj!” roper X og hopper mot badet. “Æsj”. Hopp. “Æsj”. Hopp. “Æsj”. Åpner døren. “Æææææsj”. Hybelkaniner. Hun jamrer i ubehag. Ekkelt, fot {{liked_food}}. X tetter vasken og tar fram den personlige feltflasken med logoen til Mountain Fresh Water på, som hun har malt over med {{animal}}. Lik tatoveringen på armen hennes. Hun har ikke råd til vann, men hun kan heller ikke kaste mat for 3 millibitcoin, så hun vasker {{liked_food}}, tørker tallerkenen med håndkleet og legger maten tilbake på tallerkenen. Hun skulle ønske de kunne reparere den grå maskinen som resirkulerer vannet, men delene koster en formue. X går forbi P og Q idet de forlater soverommet sitt. Som vanlig holder de hender. Rart. G sitter på det lille kjøkkenbordet og drikker en kopp med Caff. “Jeg har laget en kopp til deg, X.” X tar koppen og stirrer ut av vinduet. Fint vær i dag. Det er {{liked_weather}}. Perfekt dag å gå tur på. Kanskje ta på seg VR-brillene og dra til {{Favourite location}}, hvis det er tid.

Story part:

Body:

X opens her eyes. For just a second she’s not sure where she is, where she’s been, what her brain’s been up to for the past eight hours. She jolts as her phone notifies her of an incoming text. It plays the sound of {{sound}}. A longtime favorite. She views the message. It’s her mom, on the family group chat. “Do you want to come to the Cabin with me, Y?” “Maybe. I need to save credits though. ❤️, X,” X types out. Her mum knows her name isn’t Y anymore. Y was a different person, with a different body, and he’s gone now. Is her mum trying to make a point? “Just let me know X” Maybe all the radiation from the old days of unrestricted wireless really does make her forgetful. X catches herself fantasizing that mom might one day {{prove_sorry}}? Another exercise in disappointment. X recalls {{upset}}, feels a tightness in her stomach. Eyes closed, she sighs and the tension passes. ‘it’s too early for all this’ she thinks... and surfs on her phone for a few minutes. Temperature is going up to +7degrees celsius today. A glance out the window confirms that yesterday’s dust of snow on the rocky peaks across the fjord is gone. The tide is out. On the Nature 2.0, the high mountains have snow all year. Hard to believe. X pictures her dad pointing to the old treeline Nature and saying, ‘I uploaded these images myself in 2029 when I was only 18 becauseI wanted you to see snow.’ X looks at some pictures of {{animal}}s. The latest Mountain Fresh Water video colonises the screen. In any case, thinks X, if I’m going to spend credits on a hangout in Nature 2.0, I’d rather go to the {{Favourite location}} than her mom’s virtual memorial to her old family ‘hytte’. If I can stay at MFW for another 10 months, they’ll give me a discount on an unlimited Nature subscription. But is it worth it? She swings her legs over the side of the bed, then frowns. Her left foot is sticky. Why is her left foot sticky? She looks down in disgust, her foot sitting neatly in a plate of algae-{{favourite food}} from last night’s dinner. G must have left it to make up for what happened yesterday, though she can’t afford to eat less than she does. “Ew!” She shouts, starting to hop towards the bathroom. “Ew.” Hop. “Ew.” Hop. “Ew.” Open door. “Ewwwwww.” There’s a dustbunny hanging by a hair. She moans in discomfort. gross, foot {{favourite food}}. X plugs the sink, takes her personal canteen with the Mountain Fresh Water logo which X painted over with a {{animal}}, like the tattoo on her arm. She can’t afford the water, but she also can’t waste 3 millibitcoins of food, so she rinses off the {{favourite food}}, wipes the plate with her towel, and puts it on the plate. She wishes they could repair their grey water recycler, but the parts cost a fortune. X walks past P and Q as they exit their bedroom, as always holding hands. Weird. G is sitting at the tiny kitchen table, drinking a cup of caff. “Made a cup for you, X,”. X picks up the cup and stares out the window. Good weather today. It’s {{liked_weather}}. Perfect day to go for a walk...Maybe put on the VR headset and go to {{Favourite location}} if there was time.

Ice-9 invites you on a journey to the future. Don’t panic, it is just 50 years from now.

Body:

On Saturday, 28th of April, during Vårscenefest, we invite you to March to the Future with Ice-9 to celebrate the launch of hello X Podcast and Website. The event will start at 16:30 at Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum, (the Present), where we invite you to reflect on the concept of time, have a coffee and a waffle, put on a futuristic hat and get ready to face the future. Specially for this event, Valentin Manz has designed various hats and a 5m wooden boat, which symbolises unity and fellowship. At 17:30 the ceremonial March to the Future will begin. We will walk along the waterfront carrying the boat above our heads while 29 fantastic women from the TromsøTamburene will keep the tempo of the march. At 18:00 we will enter Polaria, where the celebration will continue with homemade food, drinks and Talkaoke.

Talkaoke is a pop up talk show that has been gaining popularity in festivals, clubs, galleries, theatres, conferences and on the street. For the first time Talkaoke is coming all the way from London to Tromsø. Talkaoke = talk + karaoke! Participants sit around a table and are passed the microphone whenever they want to talk, coming and going as they please. In Tromsø, the host and founder of People Speak, Mikey Weinkove and his team are going to discuss food, the future of life in the North and whatever else that comes up. Join the debate!

March to the Future

Dream creatively about the future

hello X

Header text:

The future is an open set of possibilities whose probabilities shift in relation to how much time, energy, and emotion is invested in imagining and debating any particular trend or scenario. Our working hypothesis is that we are more likely to get what we imagine in great detail, that our most preoccupying dreams and nightmares shape and guide our path to the future. While we may never fully control the future, we certainly condition the scope of possibility through our present perceptions, thoughts, habits, and actions.

Body:

hello X is founded on an emergent cultural production philosophy which nurtures a circular feedback loop between co-creators (in contrast to a linear production model in which creative professionals and an anonymous mass of passive recipients). While the process values specialists who can contribute their skills and insights, hello X aims to facilitate creative participation by people at all levels of experience, from all walks of life, through a diverse range of formats and distribution channels. This circular cultural economy places value on the experiences and insights of every participant and can strengthen democratic communities, activating the powerful force of the human imagination. hello X hopes to be a prototype for a forum with that uses the universal language of stories to communicate on three levels: objective reality (evidence-based knowledge), intersubjective reality (ethics and socio-economic models), and subjective reality (our personal, emotional experiences).

The language of story is both universal and diverse, with many traditions and formats available. People need stories, not merely as a distraction, but as an ancient way to maintain functional communities and as a way to construct meaningful and reflective lives as members of these communities. Culture is not merely an industry or catalogue of leisure-time activities. Culture is as vital as air, water, and food. We can’t live without culture. We can’t live without stories. The mainstream cultural industry of the last century has increasingly been created by a professional elite who stimulate us with painstakingly formulated recipes of heroic violence, hollow sexuality, and bankrupt love. Unfortunately, the most popular stories of our time (Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead) are not particularly complex, and do not appear to reflect the objective or subjective lives of the audiences that consume them.

hello X attempts to couple the new culture of networked communities with a new story-production process. Participants at all levels should have fun, enjoying the freedom of the imagination, while also absorbing and synthesising complex social issues along a long generational timeline. Because the future can never be contained in one perfect story (just like the past and present cannot be contained in one official story), hello X nurtures a creative space where many stories can grow, like a forest garden. Our great hope is that the hello X forest will evolve into a complex creative ecosystem, developing in stages and producing relations, ideas, possibly even social movements that would be impossible in our current environment.
