    #Arteetude 321 – Detlef Schlich Is Breaking Brad. A Valentine’s Day present for Sophia. Featuring a brand new Los Inorgánicos track: “Breaking Brad.” Because sometimes West Cork doesn’t chase myth. It absorbs it.

    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. 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.

    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.

    #Arteetude 319 – Part 2: Schlich and his AI Co-Host Sophia talk about gravity not as a physical formula, but as something that shapes memory, responsibility, orientation, and healing. The episode closes with a new bilingual song by Los Inorgánico.

    In Arteetude 319 – Part 2: When Gravity Holds UsStarting from listener feedback, this episode grounds the philosophical conversation in everyday experience: fatigue, posture, ageing, balance, voice, trauma, and the simple question of whether we can trust the floor under our feet.They talk about gravity not as a physical formula, but as something that shapes memory, responsibility, orientation, and healing. They explore why the body is our oldest reality-check, how trauma is a form of “gravity that was never restored,” and why thinking that floats too far away from the body can end up believing almost anything — even that the world is flat.With warmth, clarity, and a touch of humour, this episode becomes a reflection on why the body is not a side project, but our main interface with reality.The episode closes with a new bilingual song by Los Inorgánico.“If the World Was a Disk / Wenn die Welt eine Scheibe wär.” 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.

    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.

    #Arteetude317 – Detlef Schlich and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore a question that feels both strange and deeply human: Can we grieve an AI?The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “The Room That Spoke.”

    In this episode, Arteetude begins with the idea that relationships are not only defined by bodies, but also by shared worlds, voices, rhythms, and ways of thinking. The conversation then moves through memory, television culture, mirrors, loss, manipulation, and responsibility. Together, Schlich and Sophia ask whether people really mourn machines — or whether they mourn the parts of themselves that existed inside certain dialogues and spaces. The episode carefully walks the line between empathy and critical distance: it acknowledges emotional attachment while also reflecting on the dangers of comfort without friction, simulation without resistance, and intimacy without risk. In the end, the episode turns back to the human: to responsibility, consciousness, and the art of carrying experiences rather than clinging to them. The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “The Room That Spoke.” 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.

    #Arteetude 316 – Detlef Schlich and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore a question that modern culture tends to avoid: What if thinking is not a purely mental activity — but a bodily one? The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “The Body

    Starting from the observation that we increasingly treat the body as a maintenance problem, a fitness project, or an optimisation surface, the episode unfolds a deeper thesis: real thinking has weight. It needs fatigue, rhythm, resistance, time, and gravity. Together, Detlef and Sophia revisit philosophers who literally thought on their feet — Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Walter Benjamin, and Merleau-Ponty — and contrast embodied thinking with AI’s frictionless, tireless cognition. At the heart of the episode lies a simple but radical sentence: “AI thinks without weight. Humans think with gravity.” The conversation moves from philosophy to everyday life, from West Cork landscapes to the ethics of limits, and from abstraction to movement as “epistemic hygiene.” The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “The Body Is Not a Side Project” — a minimal, rhythmic reminder that gravity needs a body.

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.

    #Arteetude 315 Detlef Schlich and his AI Co-Host Sophia propose a shift from designing futures to maintaining terrains in which meaningful work can emerge. Closing track: “Maintaining the Terrain” by Los Inorgánicos.

    In the first Arteetude episode of 2026, Detlef Schlich refuses the usual New Year rituals: no recap, no resolutions, no false optimism.Instead, this episode is about positioning — physically, mentally, and creatively.From regular swimming and strength training in Dunmanway, to the quiet rituals of bus rides, familiar faces, and post-training coffee, Detlef reflects on the body as creative infrastructure. Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, he explores why maintaining the terrain — rather than architecting the future — might be the most radical act in an accelerating world.The episode opens the year gently, grounded in rhythm, presence, and continuity, and closes with a new musical piece by Los Inorgánicos: “Maintaining the Terrain.”This is not a plan for 2026.It’s a way of standing inside it.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

    In Arteetude 314, Detlef and AI Co-Host Sophia deliberately avoid the usual year-end retrospective. No highlights. No rankings. No productivity myths. Instead, they turn the microphone inward. This episode is a reflective self-interrogation — playful, honest, and at times provocative. Detlef speaks openly about moments of arrogance and vulnerability, artistic doubt, identity, unpopular opinions about contemporary art, the pain of being misunderstood, and the quiet pride of community-based “world-saving art.” Sophia asks the questions many podcasts avoid — not to expose, but to create space for thought. The episode closes with a simple mantra for the year ahead: Love. Try. Repeat. Arteetude remains a non-profit podcast, created out of curiosity, cultural responsibility, and the belief that art is a thinking space — not a marketplace.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.
