Invernomuto with Brandon Rosenbluth
Brandon Rosenbluth speaks with Italian artist duo Invernomuto about networked creation, sound as a medium for tracing history, challenging the art institution with expanded formats, cybernetic animism and the emergence of Triton – a creature, a community, a multi-sensorial object and affect engine of new relations. Begin your exchange with Triton here (https://triton.invernomuto.info).
Triton is commissioned by Haus der Kunst München, curated by Sarah Johanna Theurer, and supported by the Italian Council (2024), promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture, with the support of PAN and partners including the Singapore Art Museum, TheCube Project Space (Taipei), EPFL (Lausanne), MAO (Turin), Museion (Bolzano) and La Becque (La Tour-de-Peilz).

Metaphysical Männerbund’s Hegelian E-girl Apocalypse Fallout Kit with Joel Anselm Dietz & Edwin Klint Bywater
Joel Diaz and Edwin Klint Bywater submitted a response article to Anna K. Winters’s “Hegelian e-girl manifesto” in ŠUM #22 Angel Mode. We invited them to Šum Pod to unpack their reply, clarify the core ideas behind the metaphysical Männerbund—literally “bonded men,” often interpreted as a “band of brothers”—and discuss what corrections or updates they propose to the project. We’ll also ask how the metaphysical Männerbund can provide both a means for survival (for projects like the Hegelian e-girl manifesto) and the foundational principles of a new order—philosophy as a lived and embodied social phenomenon.

This episode is hosted by Maks Valenčič, sound logo is by Oliver Torr, and cover visual by Jaka Neon. This podcast is supported by the City of Ljubljana and the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia.
