@aby I strongly suggest an album, Lifa, by Heilung. They take Old Norse and High Germanic poems and runic inscriptions and set them to music. Utterly enthralling, one of the most powerful music experiences I've had for some time. (If you're after a single track, Krigsgaldr is a good place to start.)

"Uncomics – an artistic field where contemporary art and comics inform each other.

Where the absence of sequence encourages the reader to investigate the picture plane(s) in any direction and order, becoming an active co-creator in the process. A space outside the tedious limitations of story, where images both abstract and suggestive interact."

Uncomics ask the question posed by wordless and abstract comics — "what use is a comics theory based on literary story structure and figurative narrative?"

Instead, uncomics shifts its focus away from mainstream comic books and graphic novels toward the experimental periphery of the art form. From linear sequence to a more ambiguously threaded montage extant in the wider visual arts.

The work has begun with the Uncomics anthology and podcast: https://uncomics.org

Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.
