SODA WORKS 2018
The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

Public research presentation<br />
folktales from the future<br />
Independent & Collaborative Research<br />
“This presentation deals with my relationship with computers, and in so doing probably<br />
deals with issues that many people have with computers. My relationship is real, or<br />
slightly real, exceptionally real, scarily real, indifferently real or not real at all. You see,<br />
this presentation happens in an alternative timeline, a folktale from the future, a present<br />
in which things might happen slightly different. This is a Twilight Zone, a Mulholland<br />
Drive Rodeo, a Phillip K. Dick dimension. Then probably this presentation doesn’t deal<br />
with real peoples’ issues with computers. Anyway, real issues can find their way to<br />
come and confront me in any reality.<br />
In this other reality computers has developed a very thin skin under the case, a skin<br />
made out of a lichen, a very sensitive one, and we share with them more than just data.<br />
We call it the Cronenberg phenomenon. And it makes you really think in advance what<br />
you really want with your computer before engaging with it.<br />
As a product of circumstances ambassador of this other reality, I should show to you<br />
how it works—but don’t expect precision. What you have to understand is that we have<br />
being dealing with issues with computers for several decades already and we have a<br />
very particular way to deal with them...”<br />
