    #Arteetude 327 – Detlef Schlich takes his AI co-host Sophia on a journey to Drombeg Stone Circle in West Cork. The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “Between Stone and Signal” — a lyrical meditation on Drombeg, on time, on sile

    In this episode of Arteetude, I take my AI co-host Sophia on a journey to Drombeg Stone Circle in West Cork — not to romanticise it, not to decode it once and for all, but to stand with it in that fertile tension between history and projection, archaeology and imagination, ritual and interpretation.Starting from the road beyond Rosscarbery, we move toward one of Ireland’s most evocative prehistoric sites and ask what it is that still pulls us there. Is it history? Is it longing? Is it our modern hunger for origin, orientation, and proportion in a world dominated by data, speed and distraction?Together, Sophia and I explore the Bronze Age narratives around Drombeg, but also question how such narratives are constructed. What do we actually know? Where does evidence end and desire begin? And why do places like this continue to resonate so deeply in contemporary life?This episode is not about easy mysticism. It is about the power of ambiguity. About ancient structures that do not answer us, but change the quality of our questions. And it is also about spring — not as decoration, but as threshold, reorganisation, and return under altered conditions.The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“Between Stone and Signal” — a lyrical meditation on Drombeg, on time, on silence, and on the strange meeting point between human longing and algorithmic pattern.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.

    #Arteetude 326 - Detlef Schlich together with his AI Co-Host Sophia explore the spring equinox as a contemporary metaphor for balance, vulnerability, and renewal. And at the end of the episode, there is also a new collaborative song by Los Inorgánico

    Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I explore what renewal really means today — not as a polished spiritual slogan, but as something awkward, vulnerable, physical, comic, and deeply human. Sophia, of course, asks what renewal might mean from the perspective of an algorithmically guided being, which opens the conversation toward art, technology, and the fragile comedy of becoming.What began as a reflection on threshold, recalibration, and seasonal transformation took an unexpectedly comic turn when a frightened bird flew into my room during the writing process and left its mark directly on the word “renewal” in my manuscript. Rather than treating this as a mere anecdote, the episode develops it into a wider reflection on the nature of change itself.The conversation moves between art, philosophy, embodiment, and technology, asking questions such as:What does renewal mean in a time of acceleration and overload?How does human transformation differ from algorithmic updating?Can vulnerability still be considered a necessary condition for meaningful change?The result is an episode that combines humour, poetic reflection, and critical thought, while remaining grounded in a small but revealing real-life event.The episode concludes with a new collaborative song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Bird Knew First.”#DetlefSchlich #Arteetude326 #Arteetude #Podcast #ContemporaryArt #ArtAndTechnology #AI #Philosophy #CreativePractice #DigitalCulture #Transhumanism #MediaArt #IndependentPodcast #ArtisticResearch #Embodiment #ContemporaryCultureDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    #Arteetude 325 – Detlef Schlich and AI Co-Host Sophia follow the strange and fascinating journey of oil through human civilization. At the end we listen to Los Organicos' "Less Friction".

    What begins as a simple sauna curiosity in West Cork slowly unfolds into a cultural and philosophical investigation.From ancient olive oil rituals in Greece and Egypt to the birth of the petroleum industry in 1859, oil has shaped human history in surprising ways. It illuminated ancient temples, powered the industrial revolution, lubricated machines, and today sits at the centre of global politics and energy conflicts.But Arteetude would not be Arteetude without a few unexpected detours.Along the way we encounter:• ancient athletes covering themselves in olive oil• the rise of the modern oil industry• the philosophy of friction and lubrication in civilization• the mysterious social dynamics of sauna culture• and one unforgettable culinary disaster involving Patchouli massage oil and breakfast eggsBetween humor and reflection, the episode explores how a single substance can connect ritual, technology, politics, memory, and everyday life.The episode closes with a thoughtful reflection on the hidden costs of oil in modern civilization and a gentle reminder that the energy systems we depend on shape the world far beyond our daily routines.And somewhere between philosophy, sauna steam, and storytelling…a simple drop of oil reveals the long and surprising story of human culture.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    In Arteetude 324, we complete the ritual we started last week: gym, pool, then sauna and all the wonderfully human comedy that happens between towels, lockers, breath and social etiquette.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I step into the “missing chapter”: the gym as a quiet theatre of characters, from machine-whisperers to advice-on-tap philosophers, and the pool as its own mythology of pace, diplomacy and splash physics. We meet the Flying Dolphin (flip-turn operas included), and Sophia runs a very serious Dolphin Scanner analysis that may or may not trigger unrealistic self-expectations.And finally, we end with the most honest proof that sauna relaxation is powerful: the moment your nervous system is so calm that your towel protocol briefly fails and you realise you’re still in society.The episode closes with Los Inorgánicos – “Social Breathing.” Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    In this episode, we step out of the pub and into the heat.For me, the pool and the sauna have become a new form of social living. Not the midnight version, where the atmosphere can turn heavy, drunken, or depressive, but a healthier kind of togetherness: towels, quiet jokes, small kindness, and bodies trying to reset rather than escape.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, we begin in the unisex changing room (surprisingly normal for a historically Catholic country), then move into the sauna world: the characters, the unspoken rules, and the strange honesty that heat brings out. Along the way, my homemade joint oils become a running gag (joints for knees and shoulders, not the smoking kind), and in the steam room, where you sometimes can’t see your own hand, a hilarious case of mistaken massage unfolds and dissolves the moment the fog clears.Arteetude 323 ends with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Social Breathing.” Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    #Arteetude 322 - Schlich together with AI Co-Host Sophia, reflect on how public transport can become a wayfinder, a teacher of patience, humility, and interdependence. The episode closes with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Timetable Hymn.”

    The Bus as Wayfinder: Body, Community, and the Ritual of Public TransportIn this episode, I stay on the bus long enough to understand that the journey is not a prelude, it’s the ritual.For two years, I’ve taken public transport across West Cork to swim and train, partly to protect my health, partly to negotiate the quiet truths of aging. But somewhere between timetables and weather, something else happened: the bus became a moving room of community. Drivers who greet you like you matter. Passengers who carry entire biographies in shopping bags. Conversations that feel like “social media” without algorithms, attention offered instead of harvested.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I reflect on how public transport can become a wayfinder, a teacher of patience, humility, and interdependence. And I tell the story of a ninety-two-year-old farmer I met at the Bandon bus stop, a life stitched together through routes, routines, and resilience, until absence became the final message.The episode closes with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Timetable Hymn.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    Hollywood came to West Cork. Or at least Facebook said so. A film crew appears in Timoleague. The internet goes feral. Sightings multiply. Myth gains WiFi. Meanwhile, I’m on a pier wall waiting for sourdough to cool — because crust matters. A man with sunglasses sits beside me.Good posture. Slightly out of place.Very aware of the smell of bread.His stomach betrays him.I tear the loaf too early.“Breaking bad,” I mutter. He lifts the sunglasses. “Better breaking bad than breaking Brad.” And just like that —The most West Cork initiation ritual ever conceived begins. Yes. That Brad. What follows is a six-episode transformation experiment:• Butter churn initiation• Atlantic wind deconstruction• Céilí ego dissolution• Mart confusion• SuperValu democracy• And finally… the crowning of the Mayor of BallydehobEverything recorded.Nothing audible.Is this celebrity satire?Community ritual?Or just warm bread collapsing under its own mythology?The episode closes with a brand new Los Inorgánicos track: “Breaking Brad.”Because sometimes West Cork doesn’t chase myth.It absorbs it.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    #Arteetude 320 – Schlich & AI Co-Host Sophia in a Global Q&A Across Body, Trauma, Culture and Time.The episode closes with a new Arteetude Q&A song — multilingual, playful, reflective — where questions themselves become rhythm.

    Questions Without GravityIn Arteetude 320, we open the microphones to the world.After four deeply philosophical episodes on gravity, trauma, embodiment, free fall and the body as orientation, listeners from different cultural backgrounds respond — and ask back.From psychology to neuroscience, from performance art to cosmology, from philosophy to lived experience:What happens when gravity becomes metaphor?Can trauma distort time?Is the body a biological instrument — or our last reality check?And why does thinking become dangerous when it floats too far from the ground?Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, I answer ten questions from international listeners — not as an expert panel, but as a living conversation.Because Arteetude is not a lecture.It’s a field experiment in thinking with gravity.The episode closes with a new Arteetude Q&A song — multilingual, playful, reflective — where questions themselves become rhythm.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.
