This episode exists because of a message.After Arteetude 316, a listener and friend of the show, Feargal, wrote a message that opened an entirely new layer of the conversation: about gravity, free fall, trauma, time distortion, plants, and what happens when the body loses orientation.In Arteetude 318 (Part 1), Detlef and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore what gravity really means beyond physics — as orientation, as grounding, as something that holds not only bodies, but also time and experience together.They talk about plants and geotropism, about free fall and near-death experiences, about trauma as a state where “the body never lands,” and about how writers like Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick described fractured time and unstable reality.Sophia tries to understand all this through models, metaphors, and system analogies — including the idea of trauma as a “corrupted save file” — while Detlef stays close to the lived, bodily experience.This is not a conclusion, but the first part of a journey.Part two will continue next week.The episode ends with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “Before We Land.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations
