"" #2 James Hoff / Marian Kaiser
In a white cottage at the edge of what is often mistakenly referred to as the Vigeland Park, Oslo, in early January 2016, artist James Hoff and writer Marian Kaiser discuss sounds, images, language, and the events that produce them: distribution channels; anecdotes; heavenly rays; Stuxnet; ghosting; feedback; riots; mission creep; Amok as a colonial construction. How did the culture-bound syndrome cross the Atlantic? Is the book still the endgame?
Edited by Adam Gibbons and Eva Wilson.
