I am so thrilled to announce that I made this with hiccupsthlm:

Looking for the Creative Time Summit Stockholm afterparty? Download and follow an audio guide to lead you to the party spot. The guide is produced by HICCUP (The Hub for Independent Curators and Creatives United in Production) in collaboration with Maria Kotlyachkova, Emmeli Person, and Jens Evaldsson. It includes artistic reflections on the surroundings and some of the concepts presented in the Creative Time Summit. On the way you will learn about the history of the area and hear music inspired by the surroundings. You will also learn about Epigenetics and perhaps even be invited to participate in a live public art project.

The HICCUP project group consisted of Isis Graham, Alex Manson, Sally Müller and Jen Lindblad with support from The Public Art Agency Stockholm and Studio Mossutställningar.

Instructions: Start the guide when you exit the metro/subway at Gärdet station. Begin walking towards the Värtahamnen exit, but wait to get on the escalator until you are instructed to do so!

Attention art history nerds!

There is a maximum capacity for safe and positive experiences with art in museums. The right capacity absorbs diversity in learning styles. Some people can sketch in museums. Some people can take photos. Some people can talk. Some people can look. Any of these actions can be catalysts for deep and meaningful engagement. And they can all do all of these things peaceably if there is enough breathing room among them.

Sittplatsen i fönstret på Seven Eleven är som gömslet i skogen, man ser allt utan att synas. En plats som finns överallt syns inte längre. Jag letar efter platser som inte vill mig någonting. På jakt efter platser som inte är kluriga koncept, som inte är idéer om identitet eller slogans om samhörighet. Där staden får göra det den är bra på, erbjuda anonymitet, ensamhet, tomhet. Där den struntar i dig.

“Our goal is to support the creation of a wide range of works, from animated GIFs to software-based visualizations, and our hope is that through this open call, artists and developers will help shape the contours of the platform. We want them to help us explore it, to bump up against its constraints, to push the platform in directions we haven’t yet considered.”

"Many psychologists think that we forget languages, and other things, because of 'disuse'—the memories that we don’t try to recall very frequently become more deeply buried over time. Other studies have shown that forgetting a native language might be an adaptive strategy that helps us learn a second one."
