Abstract

This projection explores how bodies interact with the surrounding environment when industry is transitioning. We listen to the lobsters living in Lysekil's waters. Did you know this about me? I have teeth in my stomach that help me crush and digest my food, even my own shell. It's like I have a biorefinery inside my body. Can you make your refinery as environmentally friendly as mine? Is it possible? I am incredibly sensitive. I have thousands of small hairs and receptors on my body that allow me to detect the slightest change in my environment. It's like having a built-in alarm that keeps me safe. I can sense temperature changes as small as one degree! It's fascinating to hear that the workers at your oil refinery are as sensitive as I am. They act as the refinery's receptors and sensors. They detect the slightest change in sound and smell to keep the workers and the city safe. The machine needs your bodies to be secure! We should discuss how we can make the future of Lysekil safe for both you and me! Even I undergo changes, just like your city. One of my superpowers is that I can molt and recreate my shell, thus ensuring my survival. Lysekil has undergone significant transitions, from stone to fishing, canneries, engines, and oil. How about opening the next chapter together, working together to create a secure future for all of us?
