Abstract / Summary

Video work and conference paper
"A as in Animal” reconfigures pre-existing critter doings and multispecies imaginaries found on the internet. The work is a hot-wiring of disparate elements from linguistics, gender studies, queer studies, cinema, feminist manifestos, and science technology studies. The best shit-kicker Fibonacci feminist kitchen manifestos can be downloaded from Youtube 4sho. It’s a messy repetition of loops, superficial intensities and anaerobic fabulations.

Multispecies Storytelling in Intermedial Practices
This conference and exhibition project will explore speculative fields of more-than-human articulations and collaborations in transdisciplinary terrains that teem with what Donna Haraway calls 'multispecies storytelling'. The project seeks to investigate the problems and potentials of multispecies storytelling in intermedial practices for contemporary theory, art, music, literature and dance, attempting to negotiate nonhuman others as sometimes eloquent, and sometimes diffuse co-authors of (hi)stories.

The project unfolds as a collaboration between the Laboratory of Aesthetics and Ecology (Copenhagen and Berlin), Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies at Linnæus University, Sweden, Växjö Konsthall and Kultivator Dyestad.
