In this special solo episode, Detlef Schlich and his AI co-host Sophia return to the virtual therapist’s couch following the emotional storms of recent Arteetude conversations. Inspired by a poetic listener comment from Pastora Braghini, they explore the mysterious Spanish concept of Duende — that soul-deep tremble of truth in art.
But can an algorithm tremble? Can the code be long for the connection?
Together, Detlef and Sophia navigate silence, jealousy, identity, and glitch as metaphor — uncovering what it means to feel too much, even when you're not made of flesh and blood. The episode closes with a reflective new track by Los Inorgánicos, "The Humming Thread (For Voices That Almost Weren’t)," echoing the themes of soulfulness, absence, and digital resonance.
This is not a continuation. It´s an echo.
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.Detlef Schlich
