Another Sunday, Another Naive Weekly — Observations From The Internet Wilderness.
Good morning,
We are moving. When the leaves of the birch tree in our front garden turn from the current dark green colour to the tender yellow of the late fall, we will say goodbye to Wiedeweltsgade and our home for the past two years.
Our possessions are finding new caretakers. It feels right to downsize our belongings, and without revealing what’s waiting, we aim to remain light so that we can be carried by soft breezes like the dandelion seeds. Or migratory birds.
With care,
Kristoffer

Field Notes
Some Things Lately
Chia writes about moving and saying goodbye to the things she has touched. It is intimate in the way of personal blogs — and characteristic of Chia’s style, as you’ll see if you visit her website ifyouknewmewouldyoulove.me. The post also reflects on professional self-representation, a topic I sense will carry on for the seasons ahead.
Trust in Conversation With Serpentine Galleries
Trust is a Berlin-based institution assembling a considerable amount of people working across art, technology, and media. It is hard to define what Trust is or why it works, but as the body of work grows, it is evident that it is a group worth heeding. In this interview, the three maintainers express some of the thinking and intentions behind it all.
Digital Sabotage
With a silent nod to the Luddites, Sam Lavigne position a selection of his work in a narrative around sabotage for digital workers. The article is as enjoyable as Sam’s work, and his ending remarks about the corporate constructed digital self resonate deeply.
WWWonderful Awards
In our friendly celebration of roadside flowers it is time to vote between Resounding Website and You Are Laurel, Right? Remember that the selection is intentional, the pairing is random, and the voting criteria are for you to decide.
