lyrics
“In the beginning the solar nebula collapsed and it was followed by a long tradition of collapse and extinction until my material pile was shaped into a mining device at the Equator Plant, Psyche Crate at (433) Eros, as one of the last projects of the Anthropocene before leaving the Milky Way. I am very proud of that, also because it enables me to be invited to conferences and committees that deal with people. That‘s why I‘m still working in mining at (16)Psyche, to become a monument. One day shift on SY-kee gives me 174.8 free days on Earth™, which has become a museum/resort since MOON UNION assigned it monumental protection at Cladophora Congress CC. -kee employments come with free travel subscription inclusive. Meaning, you can use the only Public Transport System available…"

about

Psyche ROM is a radioplay losely based on the poem “Ultraviolet“, which was written in 2020 as part of the process of the installation “Oh that I could“. The text imagines a secular reflection of an intelligent device working in mining on 16Psyche and living in an ATP* unit orbiting the asteroid.
The character maintains a mythical, nostalgic memory culture of the Anthropocene as a spiritual origin. The play acousticly revolves around the question of whether artificial intelligence would reach a point that, triggered by phenomena inexplicable to the machine, would give rise to the need to define theistic concepts.

The recorded sounds are a sonic fiction that represents a collection of the device's memories and unconscious. The record addresses the question of whether the subjective aesthetic experience has the potential to be stored or remembered in an auditory way.
