“In 1966, under the pseudonym "Olof Johannesson," Nobel Prize winning physicist Hannes Alfvén, published the sci-fi novel The Tale of the Big Computer, which involved the ascendance of an "all-encompassing," rational computer network. This novel inspired a “computer opera” by composer Karl-Birger Blomdahl, which was never completed and remains as a series of fragments — descriptions of sounds and noises like "sword against shield," "water boiling," and "meat frying," etc. Swedish visual artist Anna Lundh picks up where Blomdahl left off with her own investigation into technology and language, which she began in a piece for Issue 13 of Triple Canopy. Tonight Lundh takes the text as a starting point and presents a reading of the text, a performance, and a "silent concert."”
