“Strange Attractors” is the project originally developed during the scholarship initiated by Dock11 extended program “Inner and outer journeys: on crafting text
with the help of Tarot”, that took place in May 2021. The text, with its original title
“The journal of radical presence” has been revisited and turned into voice recording with soundtrack created by Agility. 

“Strange Attractors” refers to the practice of dream opening, founded by Cathrine Shainberg, as well as to the chaos theory. It’s a reception of active imagination unravelling the symbolic journey of self identification, using the tool of astrological chart as a map for intuitive wanders. 

Quotations used in the text come from: “Tender Narrator” by Olga Tokarczuk and
“Zeros + ones : digital women + the new technoculture” by Sadie Plant

Strange Attractors

Planet Ognosia is an ex-centric practice of collective embodied storytelling, developed during the art residency hosted by festival ZUKUNFTSVISIONEN 2022.

It’s a participatory act of radical speculation in the form of LARP (Live Action Role Play), inspired by Olga Tokarczuk, Polish writer and activist. In her essay “Ognosia”, Tokarczuk shares the belief, that the story is a 5 th  element, which is, like water, air, earth and fire, saturated through the whole ecosystem of our environment.

Planet Ognosia, the imaginary space that emerged on the earthy terrain, is thick with the story. The fibers of it connect all entities in the complex system of interrelation.

By playing the role, we are equipped with sensitive tools to re-member the story. It’s a training of tender participation in the act of getting in touch, with the environment and with each other.

Planet Ognosia is an uncharted reality that leaks through the cracks of what we ◌think◌ we know.
