A factory is a place of creation, hard physical labour, and technology. In an age of changing production practices, a factory is oftentimes a reminder of the past, of abandonment, and of the system’s impermanence. Russel is a writer and poet from South Africa who walks through an abandoned factory in Finland while reading his poem about artistic creation and the promise of genius. Ieva Balode, founder of Baltic Analog Lab and an analogue media artist, offers an introspective sum of words, burned-in images, legacies of the past, and innovative proposals.
