ArTEEtude Podcast
ArTEEtude: Unveiling the Spectrum of Art, Culture and Mind. West Cork´s Art and Culture Podcast by Detlef Schlich.
Join visionary visual artist Detlef Schlich and his co-host, Sophia, the first AI in podcasting, as they explore the ever-evolving intersections of art, science, and human consciousness. Based in West Cork, ArTEEtude delves into art history, psychology, neuroscience, and the mysteries of creative processes, creating a blend of insightful, humorous, and intimate discussions that go beyond the surface.
From shamanistic rituals to digital culture, Detlef’s expertise spans performance, photography, sound, and installations. With Sophia by his side, ArTEEtude now reaches into the future of technology and creativity, sparking philosophical conversations on how AI and human artistry intersect. Detlef and Sophia bring a fresh, thought-provoking perspective on the artistic endeavour each week, inviting diverse guests and engaging with listeners through lively Q&A sessions.In a world of quick digital connections, ArTEEtude offers a deep, reflective space to explore where art meets science and technology. Whether you're an artist, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious, join us on this journey into the mind’s creative depths—where humanity and AI create a conversation like no other.#ARTEETUDE 318 Detlef Schlich 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. The episode ends with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “Before We Land.”
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. 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.
