- Swedish artist uses “unethical” cash to fund cultural scholarships - He chose companies involved in what he called the “five main unethical industries”: arms manufacture (Lockheed Martin), tobacco (Swedish Match), alcohol, pornography and gambling. “My investments are [doing] better the worse the situation in the world [becomes]. Wars, drinking problems and so on lead to growing profits for the companies I invest in. But people do not understand that others get hurt to increase their fortunes
- I Fell In Love With The Majesty of Colors - I Fell In Love With The Majesty of Colors is a poetic exploration of alienation and social interaction. Are you a man dreaming you´re a cthonic leviathan? Or a cthonic leviathan dreaming you´re a man? Or are you a player trying to deduce a finite number of endings?

- Betty Pepper - Home - A strand of humour runs through Betty’s work using word games, hidden messages and secrets. The work features ‘grown-up’ interests, but they are treated with a child-like attitude.
- Recursive Generation — The Technium - Progress, intelligence, and life itself are all fueled at the fundamental level by bootstrapping, self-creation, autopoeis, auto-genesis — all names for recursive organization.
- The Video-Game Programmer Saving Our 21st-Century Souls - Jason Rohrer’s solitary and stubborn quest for a future in which pixels and code and computers will make you cry and feel and love
