Music/performance/lecture online. Washing happening simultaneously from Berlin (Germany) and ísafjörður (Iceland).

DETOX non-stop. Money is laundered even at the height of summer. In a Zoom call, we read from our summer reading programme from different ends of Europe. It’s about friendship, debt, resonance and capital in the 21st century. In between, we tried to launder a cent by transferring it back and forth online and making the resulting internet traffic audible to the guests through sonification. 98% desperation, 2% humour.
