I'll be "in" (via Skype) Emilija Skarnulyte's new installation at Decad. Not quite sure of the time, I think 7pm Berlin time. If you haven't looked her up already, do so immediately. Everything she does embodies why I think art is beyond important and in particular articulates an incredibly beautiful and powerful ecological feminist post-humanism. But that's just the conceptual aspect. Skarnulyte is committed to making unbelievably precise and gorgeous objects (visual, sonic...) and is a true powerful film maker, the kind who is ready to climb into a gigantic radio telescope dish or become a mermaid and swim in freezing arctic water with a nuclear sub. I was just at this incredible film symposium in Lithuania and it convinced me that  I totally love film and filmmaking for this and many other reasons. Just days of liquid light pouring out of a gigantic screen and people ready to put their bodies in jeopardy in acts of solidarity with human and nonhuman beings....

Oh this was so nice. I'm so grateful to Solveig Ovstebo and Karsten Lund for their incredible hosting. What a lovely occasion. And I met an old friend I hadn't seen for ages, David Pantos. The space was really big and fun too, and packed. The occasion was an exhibition of the work of my new friend Ben Rivers, including the film Urth , which was inspired by my book Dark Ecology .
