In an imagined future, humans have returned to their roots as hunter-gatherers, migrating from one giant oyster to the next as the seasons change. The world has undergone a significant transformation, with the once dominant cities and dry land now a distant memory. The giant oysters, once seen as powerful and in control, have become sources of sustenance for the humans, providing food, shelter, and a place to call home. As the humans migrate from one oyster to the next, they live off what nature and the seasons provide, relying on their skills and knowledge to survive. They hunt and gather, fishing in the low tide, foraging in the forests of kelp, and collecting the bounty of the Sea. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

Purple oysters are a species of mollusk that have become increasingly popular among aquarium hobbyists in recent years. Unfortunately, this popularity has also led to a dangerous addiction to social networks that cater to these fascinating creatures. People who are addicted to these networks spend hours upon hours scrolling through pictures, videos, and forums about purple oysters, and often neglect their real-life responsibilities and relationships in the process. They may even go as far as spending their entire paychecks on buying and maintaining their own purple oyster colonies, at the cost of their financial stability. This addiction can take a significant toll on one's mental and physical health, as well as their personal and professional life. However, many who are addicted to these networks find it difficult to break away, as the allure of purple oysters is simply too strong. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

In the future, humanity had to abandon the land and retreat to the oceans due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. Life under the sea was not easy, but the people adapted, building underwater cities and finding new sources of food and energy. In this new society, the concept of wealth and money as it was once known became obsolete. Instead, giant pearls were used as a form of currency and a means of exchanging goods and services. However, unlike the old world where giant pearls were a symbol of wealth and status, in this society, every individual was entitled to an equal share of the giant pearls. The pearls were used as a means of exchange for necessary resources, such as food and medical supplies, without the hoarding of wealth by any one person or group. The equitable distribution of giant pearls ensured that everyone had access to the resources they needed to survive and thrive. The people lived in harmony, working together to maintain the delicate balance of their underwater world. The giant pearls were also revered for their beauty and played a central role in the cultural life of the ocean-dwelling community. They were used in non-religious ceremonies and celebrated as symbols of the bountiful and harmonious world that the people had created. Years passed, and the people of the ocean prospered, living in a world where everyone had access to the resources they needed, and where wealth was no longer a source of division and conflict. The giant pearls continued to play a crucial role in this new society, serving as a reminder of the values of cooperation and equity that had allowed the people to thrive.

Building small stands out of plywood with self designed 3D printed connectors for Mundane Monsters. Sometimes in wonder if I might have been happier as an engineer solving practical hands on problems with instead of the fragmented and propositional art projects i spend my time on. Probably i would find still myself in much the same situation, looking over the "fence" to other traditions and instutions, wondering if they might somehow provide the means of pursuing my interest. Wondering what is to be learned from other disciplines about the world and how to live in it. In this way it is difficult not to sometimes dream that there might be a discipline or context where all of my interests and all of what in want to do might fit. But in truth i don't think that such an ideal profession, context or tradition exists, but that its something that every one has fashion for oneself. Carving out a space where what "needs to be done" can be, by not caring too much about disciplines or tradion. Obtaining a bit of freedom to act on what is apparent to ones self, by not adhering to the norms of one field, but instead choosing to maintain a polygamous relationship to many fields and ways of thinking. There is so much joy to be found in choosing no field and so much adventure to be had by having a utilitarian approach to disciplines, as useful fictitious rather than guiding principles. Even if that might never lead to a sensible/coherent narrative of the slef or a sense of belonging to anywhere for very long. So I guess in truth one of many names i might call myself could be artist-engineer or engineer-artist for as long as it serves my purpose. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.

There exists a middle aged group of computer engineers who have been working in the field of computer engineering for a number of years, ranging in age from their late 30s to their early 60s. The group meet in the weekend to hack networks in far away countries dressed in crayfish costumes. It is made up of experienced computer engineers who use their knowledge and skills to break into various networks and systems located in distant countries. They do this as a form of protest or activism, or as part of a larger plot to take down a corporation or government. They have a unique style of working by disguising themselves in crayfish costumes, making it hard to trace their identity. They have years of experience in various areas of computer engineering such as software development, hardware design, or network engineering. They meet on a regular basis, such as weekly or monthly, to discuss industry developments, share knowledge and expertise, and work on collaborative projects. The meeting are held in the early morning or late night, referred as "crayfish" hours. Mundane monsters opens at @bonamatic On February 17th.
