We haven’t done one of these in a while but we return this week with some links related to climate change, nuclear power, oceans, and plastic. (It’s all connected.)
Here, fresh from the Internet:
Jellyfish are apparently causing problems at power plants, especially nuclear power plants, when they get caught in the water […]
On September 8, Sunday, the first broadcast was made of the Radio Aktiv Sonic Deep Map, a radio show created for broadcast made up of various recorded material gathered at the Case Pyhäjoki camp for artists, theorists, scholars, cultural producers, and activists to respond to the threat of nuclear power in […]
Fall is hitting Copenhagen and we are interested to see if the amount of apartment hunting signs around the neighborhood slows down. One local MQ commenter suggests that the flurry of signs appearing in the city during the summer months could be because of the shortage of housing for students. This may be one cause, […]
I recently returned from a trip to Derry, Northern Ireland where I worked with artist in residence Andrea Francke at the Centre for Contemporary Art on a workshop about urban ecology, foraging, map making and orienting yourself to a place.
Brett and I first worked […]
We are continuing our Artist Parents series with a new interview with Sydney based artist, Zanny Begg. Zanny is a friend of the Mythological Quarter whose work explores how we can live in the world differently. I first met her in Gary, Indiana when she was there, […]

Fennovoima signs adorn public works in Pyhäjoki, like the fence of this sports field near the town’s high school where Case Pyhäjoki is taking place. The name […]
NOTE: This post was made by our new friend Antye Greie on the Case Pyhäjoki web site.
Mythological Quarter, Martin Howse and AGF hum with the environment and create following sound piece at Hanhikivi bay, the very original place where the nuclear power plant (NPP) is planned.
We used SAMPLR to layer 6 hums. […]
Oda Projesi is Özge Açıkkol, Güneş Savaş and Seçil Yersel. They are early pioneers of what is now called socially engaged art practice by many. Their collaboration began in a room in Istanbul in 2000. Seriously, their name translates as “Room Project” from Turkish. You can watch a talk given […]
We had a family adventure today in the Bispebjerg neighborhood of Copenhagen. We were on the hunt for a playground shaped like a man, and a sculpture of a giant owl. We had heard about both from a friend, and all we had was a sketchy hand drawn map. Of course we looked […]
