Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This exploratory essay introduces selected sound recordings along with notes and observations from Minuting – a practice of sonic journaling I have performed daily since July 2010 in numerous locations and settings. I weave these observations together in a way that resonates closely with the idea of repetition, in multiple forms: protest, automation, cycle, and ritual, as well as the repetition inherent to my acts of recording. While introducing sounds from the archive of Minuting, I reflect on how this constrained and systematically enacted form of listening, recording, and re-listening leads to a transversal type of sonic reflexivity. It is a form of alertness to sound that stretches beyond the immediate resonance of the 'now' – towards spatially and temporarily distant, yet to some extent intertwined, objects, subjects, events, and environments. The text evolves across three interrelated layers: annotated recordings from the project's archive, a set of thoughts and associations triggered by re-listening to the material, and a discursive analysis that opens up the project to a dialogue with other thematically resonant debates and practices. Drawing on perspectives from media studies, the philosophy of technology, sound studies and durational art, I discuss Minuting as an art work, a creative constraint and a transversal listening practice. Lastly, I propose it as an existential media technique for composing critical and reflective positions towards one's surrounding space, experience of time, and use of sound technologies.

- The ore, the forest and the hydropower of the northern Sami territories (nowadays the northernmost part of Sweden) have for a long time been essential to the unsustainable life of luxury that many people, perhaps even you, lead today.The question in the title – asking who you are in Lule Sami, Swedish and Meänkieli – is about exactly this. Do you remember your foremothers and forefathers, what part they played in this history? Which role, based on all that has happened, is now yours? Let’s break it down into smaller parts. And begin with a question about joy: What makes you feel joy, and is that feeling connected to some kind of consumerism? How do you live? In what kind of building? Where does the water that you drink come from, where does the food processed by your body end up? What is your daily mode of transport? Are you a permanent resident under the control of the Swedish State or do you move freely as you wish? How does all of this connect with the culture you live in? Have you ever considered what Swedish culture really is? And how Swedish culture is being defined through words, images, and stories, through the history you were told, or perhaps through the history you were not told?I want to invite you along on a voyage of reversed perspectives. During which you, as you are today, have to contort yourself to remember – in order to understand who you are, who you have become, and how this depends on what your predecessors did and said. ‘Sweden’ has not always been. Modern Sweden – that is the Kingdom of Sweden – was established as a colonial nation state in the 16th century. Up until then the Sámi were influential and powerful. But, concurrently with other European colonisation processes taking place across the world, Sweden also became an assertive colonial state; an empire founded on the colonisation of the Sámi territories.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Malmen, skogen och vattenkraften, i de nordliga samiska territorierna, (och numera de nordligaste delarna av Sverige) har under lång tid varit förutsättningen för den vällevnad och ohållbara livsstil som många människor, kanske även du, upprätthåller idag.Titelfrågan – om vem du är – på (lule)samiska, svenska och meänkieli, handlar om just detta. Minns du dina förmödrar och förfäder, och vilken del de har haft i denna historia? Vilken roll, som bygger på det som hänt, är, i nutiden, din? Låt oss bryta ner detta i lite mindre delar. Vi börjar med en fråga om glädje: Vad får dig att känna glädje och är den känslan kopplad till något slags konsumtion? Hur lever du? I vilken slags byggnad, varifrån kommer vattnet du dricker, vart tar maten du processat genom din kropp vägen? Hur färdas du dagligen? Är du fastboende och under svenska statens kontroll eller förflyttar du dig fritt som du vill? Och hur hänger detta ihop med den kultur du lever i? Har du funderat något på vad svensk kultur egentligen är? Hur svensk kultur formuleras i ord, bild, berättelser, i historien du fått lära dig, eller kanske den historia du inte fått lära dig?Jag vill ta dig med på en perspektivvändarresa. Där du, som den du är idag, får vrida och vända på dig för att minnas – och därmed förstå vem du är, vem du blivit, beroende på vad dina föregångare gjort och sagt.Sverige har inte alltid varit. Sverige – Svea rike – som modern kolonialstat skapades på 1500-talet. Fram till dess var samer inflytelserika och mäktiga. Parallellt med de europeiska kolonisationsprocesserna runtom i världen blev även Sverige en stark kolonialstat, ett imperie, grundat på just kolonisationen av de samiska territorierna.

Nuclear waste culture : projecting the past into the invisible deep future. A conversation with Ele Carpenter.
- 2022

Ingår i: Commodity Frontiers: Journal of the Commodity Frontier Initiative. - : Brown University Library. ; :4, s. 36-44

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nuclear Culture project of Ele Carpenter is the overarching title for her curatorial research into art and nuclear culture covering the full material trace of radioactive materials from uranium mining, energy and weapons production, decommissioning and waste. The curatorial process involves working closely with artists and a range of nuclear contexts, carrying out field research, commissioning new artworks, curating exhibitions and hosting roundtable discussions and symposia. The project started in 2011 when Carpenter was invited to talk about how artists might respond to submarine dismantling by the Submarine Dismantling Project Advisory Group (SDPAG) who were advising the British Ministry of Defence on how to take apart and store their old laid up nuclear submarines, some of which still have their old reactors on board. This article is a conversation between Maarten Vanden Eynde and Ele Carpenter about the urgency of nuclear visibility and deep time responsibility of radioactive waste in a period of increasing insurmountability.

Framtiden
- 2011. - 1
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- »Länge trodde jag att framtiden var ljus. Jag var en av de frälsta. I datorn såg jag en vän, i digitaliseringen fann jag ett hopp, på internet upptäckte jag en ny värld. När arbetet med den här boken inleddes för snart tre år sedan uppfattade jag en enorm potential i den rörelse som växte sig allt starkare omkring mig. Jag såg ett samhälle som skulle kunna bli helt nytt, mer demokratiskt, mer genomlyst, mer upplyst. Allt som kan digitaliseras kommer att digitaliseras. Detta var jag övertygad om. Jag skulle bara skriva boken som beskrev detta.Men under resans gång insåg vi att allt inte stod rätt till med framtiden. Vi omfamnade löftet om den för att vi trodde att vi skulle finna en ny frihet. Men det vi byggde var vårt eget fängelse. Det som från början var tänkt att bli en lättsam betraktelse över digitaliseringens möjligheter har istället blivit en skönlitterär dystopi med essäistiska inslag. Det blev en varningsskrift till alla som på ett eller annat sätt gjort datorn till en del av sin vardag.« Framtiden är en berättelse om vår tid, berättad från framtiden. På 136 sidor försöker kulturjournalisten Eric Schüldt och medievetaren Jonas Andersson visa vad som håller på att hända runt omkring oss. »När maskinerna tog över gjorde de det på ett så snabbt, mjukt och användarvänligt sätt, att bara en dåre eller en profet skulle ha vågat klaga.«

Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures : a supplement to the Arcades Project from a Caribbean Perspective [and a call for a careful practice of epistemológica].
- 2020
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures is a doctoral work that supplements the unfinished modern opus The Arcades Project [in German Das Passagen-Werk (Mit Bindestrich und Werk mit Capital W) ]. The supplement takes the form of a sculptural, historical, and technological deposition of ‘greenhouse’ that presently oscillates between a past-background and future-foreground to Walter Benjamin's ‘theatrical’ handling of the Parisian arcades. From my Caribbean perspective, that oscillating treatment of ‘greenhouse’ affords me a prop from which to activate the following question: is colonial memory the drive of Global Warming? That core question has led me to retrospectively hypothesise that the technology of ‘greenhouse’ is—beyond metaphor—the illusory (dis)embodiment of the toxic binaries of interior & exterior that are still shaping various influential frameworks such as the modern & Marxian ideas of superstructure, as well as the past & future of Western natural sciences (and their histories). Because of that illusory, spectral, if paranormal power, ‘greenhouse’ becomes at once the Western colonial enframing to both the messianic promise for conserving biological history, as well as the messianic remedy to suppress the traumæ that are destining Global Warming. Also, because of that potent (dis)embodied character, the robust analysis of the manifold instrumentalisation of ‘greenhouse’ is set to play a primary role in deposing the geological timeline of the Anthropocene. Now, while the book-supplement is itself the dissertation (as an unpacking of the aforementioned hypothetical findings), the PhD also relies on two other research devices that are worth mentioning: an installation (titled Anarquivo Negantrópico), and an online journal (titled Intransitive Journal). Altogether, the dissertation offers a field from which to asses my broader experimentation with infrastructures, epistemic things, and social pedestals. Moreover, the dissertation revises the so-called forgotten list of ‘Epistemologica’ (the categorical of Western display preparations and phenomenotechnologies) so to format my study and practice into an adaptable, careful, and differentiated kind of epistemológica…a careful study and practice that we may share as object-relations that proportionately (dis)play more-than-human perspectives for (re)mediating the forms and forces of the climate crises.

Ingår i: Agropoetics reader. - Berlin : The Institute for Endotic Research. - 9783981951264 ; , s. 181-199
-
Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This is an early draft excerpt from the "convolutes" included in the author's later PhD titled "Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures." The work is related to the author's exhibition at Savvy Contemporary in Berlin (31.08.– 06.10.2019). The focus of the research is on exploring the technology of the greenhouse as a specimen, display, and virtual reality. The author believes that the greenhouse plays a significant role in shaping the industrial, misogynist, and ethnocentric conception of natural science and history. The greenhouse acts as a dividing force between humans and nature, perpetuating the illusion of interior and exterior spaces. The author aims to break free from this binary understanding by reticulating away from the messianic promises and colonial violence associated with "greenhouse." They seek to uproot the colonial drive embedded in their externalization of knowledge and explore alternative paths for relating to the object of colonial-industrial capitalism. The presented excerpt offers a glimpse into the author's perspective as a Puerto Rican & Caribbean artist and invites further exploration of the PhD work.

Methods of Indirection : A trialogue between Patrizia Bach, Howard Eiland, and Luis Berríos-Negrón about Walter Benjamin and translating The Arcades Project
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal for Artistic Research. - : Society for Artistic Research. ; :22
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Walter Benjamin deemed his Arcades Project [Das Passagen-Werk (Mit Bindestrich und Werk mit Capital W)] “the theatre of all my struggles and all my ideas.” As a vast accumulation of materials, it had become for him a literary laboratory for testing social, critical, and spatial ideas. The co-authors here present an exposition where they look to reactivate that ‘theatre’ to search, test, and draw from each other alternative recursions for their respective practices. Their respective discourses are intersected through a voluntary 'trialogue' that plays between three different roles aiming to diverge from the traditional form of a Q&A. The exchanges gravitate around ‘greenhouse’ as the historiographic display structure to the Arcades, as well as to Global Warming. But, the format also triggers ‘indirections’ urging unforeseen aspects that may further research and revisions of the Arcades. For the authors, such indirections actualise and translate, yet again, other dormant aspects of each others perceptions about Benjamin. Ultimately, joined by the attitude to share and reactivate that ‘theatre-laboratory’ with you—the reader and exposition visitor—the actors look for cues that encourage further procedures of experimentation and reflexion.
