    In this first episode we are guested by Anne Esser from the comms agency PSM&W to talk about how to do PR in Germany.

  • I detta avsnitt där vi träffar Peter Beckius som är CEO på Matsmart. Detta är ett bolag som omsätter nästan en miljard kronor och som under de senaste åren har tagit in nästan lika mycket i kapital. Matsmart är ett bolag som räddar matvaror från att kasseras genom att köpa upp varulager som håller på att gå ut i datum eller av annan anledning riskerar att slängas. De rider på två stora och aktuella trender i e-handelssverige just nu vilka är låga priser och hållbarhet.

    I intervjun får du veta mer om Matsmarts E-handelsresa, om hur deras affärsstrategi ser ut, om hur de marknadsför sig, om deras avancerade robotlager och om hur Peter tror att framtiden för dagligvaror på nätet kommer att se ut.

    Peter har formellt varit VD sedan juni 2022, men har under det gångna året agerat COO och tillförordnad VD. Peter har en gedigen e-handelsbakgrund från bland annat modeföretaget Gant och även från H&M.

    Matsmart grundades redan 2013 av tre entreprenörer som ville rädda perfekt mat som kastades helt i onödan. Under 2020 omsatte de 500 miljoner och gjorde nästan 100 miljoner i förlust. 2021 omsatte de drygt 700 miljoner och för 2022 förväntas de nå strax under en miljard i omsättning. De förväntas dock fortsatt att göra en medveten förlust. Bolaget finns i Sverige, Finland, Danmark, Tyskland och UK. Matsmart ägs av grundarna samt till en stor del av ett antal olika investmentbolag.

  • Hello Interactors,

    Last week my daughter showed us a glimpse of the Empire State Building from her friend’s dorm room. Every time I see that building, I think of the original black and white movie, King Kong. The image of that poor animal atop what was then world’s tallest structure getting pummeled by machine gun fire sticks with me for some reason. Maybe it’s because it was unfair. That creature was captured from his homeland and brought to America only to be gunned down? What kind of society does this?

    As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.

    Please leave your comments below or email me directly.

    Now let’s go…

    FAREWELL TO THE KING

    Merian C. Cooper got the idea of King Kong from the French-American explorer and anthropologist, Paul Du Chaillu. He was the first of European origin to confirm the existence of Central African gorillas in 1860. This made him a much sought-after speaker in the late 1800s, and his books were immensely popular. Cooper’s uncle gifted the then six-year-old nephew with one, Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa. It tells of one gorilla locals noted for its “extraordinary size”:

    “They believe, in all this country, that there is a kind of gorilla — known to the initiated by certain mysterious signs, but chiefly by being of extraordinary size — which is the residence of certain spirits of departed natives. Such gorillas, the natives believe, can never be caught or killed.”

    And then, while Du Chaillu was out hunting with locals, an encounter occurred. As Du Chaillu recalls,

    “When he saw our party he erected himself and looked us boldly in the face . . . with immense body, huge chest, and great muscular arms, with fiercely-glaring large deep gray eyes, and a hellish expression of face, which seemed to me like some nightmare vision: thus stood before us this king of the African forest.”

    And so, they did what they believed to be impossible but predictable. Du Chaillu continues,

    “[The gorilla] advanced a few steps— then stopped to utter that hideous roar again- advanced again, and finally stopped when at a distance of about six yards from us. And here, just as he began another of his roars, beating his breast in rage, we fired, and killed him.”

    Cooper went on to call this creature King Kong and made a movie about him. He wanted King Kong to be portrayed as being 50-60 feet tall. After all, he was kidnapped from a fictional small island that was also home to dinosaurs.

    It turns out a gorilla that size is biologically impossible. For every doubling of height comes a tripling of weight. The joints and bones of a creature of this size simply could not bear his weight. King Kong was also impossible to portray on the big screen. Animators and cinematographers had difficulties portraying an animal of that size in the 1930s. Consequently, King Kong ends up appearing much smaller. Instead of weighing a couple hundred tons, let’s assume this mythical beast was shorter and weighed something more like 15 tons.

    Still huge, that would be about two times the mass of an elephant requiring about 12,000 watts of metabolism to survive. And that is just the energy required to keep the organs running and nothing else. Around the time the original King Kong was being released, a biologist named Max Kleiber was plotting various animals’ metabolic rate and mass on a graph. To his surprise, the dots on the graph loosely aligned along a straight line sloping upwards with a mouse near the origin and an elephant to the upper right.

    Kleiber had discovered a scaling law in nature known now as Kleiber’s law. For most animals, their metabolic rate scales to the 3⁄4 power of the animal's mass. Put another way, for every doubling of size the energy needed to survive decreases by ¼. Theoretical physicist and former President of the Santa Fe Institute, Geoffrey West, and his colleagues, believe ¾ scaling occurs due to the nutrient distribution through the efficiency seeking fractal-like structures of the circulatory system. The ‘3’ in ¾ comes about, it is believed, because the particles needed to arrange these mechanisms exists in a three-dimensional geometric universe.

    Animals observed in the wild maximize their energy to survive. Every bit of energy spent above and beyond what is required for their body to function only pushes their caloric needs into debt. GPS tracked tigers, for example, reveal highly optimized search strategies over space and time in their hunt for prey. A lounging cat may appear lazy to us, but their maximizing their energy.

    Early human hunter-gatherers were seemingly not that different. For similar reasons, they had to be deliberate about the energy they used. However, as their cultures evolved, along with their brain, they became increasingly effective at harnessing that energy. They used some of their energy to fashion spears, arrows, and hooks out of wood, bones, and rocks. They also used wood to make fire for heating, cooking, and controlled grassland burns to promote plant harvest renewal. In doing so, they were not only expending their own energy, but also the energy stored in that wood and other forms of biomass.

    The appropriation of elements of the ecosystem for energy to support biological and social well-being, like plant harvesting, animal domestication, or consumption of biomass like wood and coal, is called social metabolism or sociometabolism. The social metabolism of these early societies sometimes had small effects on the ecosystem, but other times catastrophic. For example, the misuse of fire could lead to imbalances in ecosystems with detrimental cascading effects on plant and animal populations.

    The arrival of North America’s first homo sapiens, as another example, coincided with the extinction of 33 species of large animals. Similar extinctions occurred upon the arrival of humans in South America and Australia. It turns out even the earliest human colonizers had detrimental impacts on the environment.

    PLOTTING THE PLODDING AND MARAUDING

    By studying existing hunter-gatherer societies, scientists can estimate the social metabolism of ancient hunter-gatherers. Geographer Yadvinder Malhi analyzed this data and determined,

    “The energy use per capita of a hunter-gatherer is about 300 W, and this is almost entirely in the process of acquiring food for consumption, and to a much lesser extent other materials and the use of fire. This sociometabolism is greater than the 80–120 W required for human physiological metabolism, because of the inefficiencies in both acquiring foodstuffs, and in human conversion of food into metabolic energy, and also in the use of biomass energy sources for fuel.”

    Malhi then plotted where a hunter-gatherer would sit on a Kleiber plot relative to the biological metabolism of other animals. A typical hunter-gatherer’s combined biological and social metabolism puts them just between a human and a bull.

    The social metabolism of homo sapiens continued to grow steadily, and along with it their capacity to harness nature for their lifestyle. And then, 5,000-10,000 years ago, during the Neolithic revolution, a simultaneous innovation occurred around the world – farming. The start of the Holocene witnessed the emergence of agriculture in Mesopotamia and Anatolia, the Yangtze valley, New Guinea, West Africa, Meso-America, and the Andes. The end of the ice age softened the earth, human language and communication had evolved and spread, and coincidently the colonization and exploitation of ecosystems.

    Agriculture, the colonization of plants, allowed for geographically condensed energy to be grown which could support larger populations of people. This put a huge dependency on area of land needed to support and grow plants and animals. But these new densities of biomass reduced the amount energy required to roam large distances hunting and gathering. As a result, many hunter-gatherer societies could not compete, and Iron Age plant and animal farmers came to dominate. These clusters of agrarian societies grew around the world and with them languages and cultures. Soon the age of the agrarian came to dominate human existence. Using data from a well documented 18th century Austrian agrarian society, Malhi went to work to plot where a typical ‘agriculturist’ may fit on the Kleiber plot. He surmises:

    “Compared to the hunter-gatherer sociometabolic regime, by the 18th century human sociometabolism per capita had increased by one to two orders of magnitude.” Given the population density such a society could support, the “per unit area energy consumption” grew “three to four orders of magnitude greater than that of a hunter-gatherer society.”

    This plops the typical human agriculturalist below a rhino on the Kleiber plot. In other words, an active member of an 18th century agrarian society would have consumed as much energy as a resting animal nearly 10 times their mass. It seems over-consumptive human habits started early in our evolution.

    Agrarian societies and hunter-gather societies were both constrained by land area. While agriculturalists were more efficient with land use than hunter-gatherers, they were nonetheless constrained by land. This is especially true for their primary source of fuel for heating and cooking – trees. That all changed with the birth of the Industrial age and the discovery of coal.

    The potential energy in trees is stored solar energy from the relatively recent past. Coal is solar energy stored in biomass that accumulated and fossilized over millions of years in the deep layers of the earth’s outer crust, the lithosphere. For the first time in history, humans could exploit energy stored in deep time. Coal could more easily be transported over great distances. In theory, this would reduce the need to further exploit land and wood, but instead their destruction increased.

    The Industrial age brought new forms of locomotion and transportation networks accelerated the expansion of colonization, land development, and the destruction of grasslands, swamps, and wooded areas. Healthy, thriving ecosystems were sacrificed for new and expanding cities and farms. Coal powered machines extracted elements from nature to make fertilizers, sawed, split, and planed trees into lumber, and stamped, squeezed, and shipped goods around the world feeding growing economies and their consumers. Fossil fuels accelerated and intensified the destruction of the biosphere and continue to do so to this day. The energy use of the biomass past to support today’s social metabolism puts in question the biomass of the future, including its human consumers.

    CAPITALIZING ON A MONSTER APPETITE

    Malhi identifies two key factors of industrial social metabolism:

    * The amount of biomass needed for biological metabolic survival (i.e. food) is small compared to fossil fuels and other high-density energy sources.

    * Fossil fuels used for building transportation networks meant population centers need not be co-located with food and energy production.

    So where does the typical ‘industrialist’ sit on the Kleiber plot? Just above an elephant. That is, the amount of metabolic energy needed for a human to lead a typical industrialized lifestyle today is the equivalent of a resting elephant. Imagine the streets of the most populated cities being roamed by humans the size and weight of an elephant. Streams of cars on the freeway being driven by a five-ton mammal with an insatiable appetite. That’s us. Well, many of us, anyway.

    Those numbers are for the average ‘industrialist’ in the UK where Malhi teaches. American’s stereotypically love our exceptionalism, and we are certainly exceptional in this regard. Sorry, Canadians, you’re implicated too. North American’s are the King Kong’s of energy consumption. Our dot on the Kleiber plot sits where a mythical 15-ton mammal would sit. The typical human in the United States and Canada consumes energy like King Kong. That’s well over 100 times the mass and energy needed for basic survival and 10 times more than agriculturalists that existed just 200 years ago.

    When Du Chaillu and his native guides shot the king of the forest, Du Chaillu did not exploit the energy of that innocent animal as food. He instead chose to eat the deer they also killed. But the local hunters, who allegedly had long pursued the so-called king of the jungle, did. Including his brain. Eating the brain from the skull of a gorilla, Du Chaillu reported, was believed to bring “a strong hand for the hunt…and success with the women.”

    Perhaps this played into Cooper’s storyline in King Kong. After all, it was a native tribal king on Skull Island who offered to trade six tribal women for the attractive American blonde woman, Ann Darrow, accompanying the crew on their expedition. She is then captured by a band of natives and offered up to King Kong as a sacrifice. But King Kong is felled by a gas bomb by American explorers and shipped back to New York to be put on display. King Kong then breaks from his chains and hunts down Ann. That’s what leads to the iconic scene of King Kong getting massacred atop the Empire State Building. War pilots fire machine guns from their planes as King Kong swats at them like flies while intermittently fondling the captive heroin, Ann.

    King Kong, the movie, has since been interpreted as a story of race (King Kong as a metaphor for a Black man stolen from his homeland in bondage), sex (a white blonde woman who, fetishized as a sexual object pursued by Indigenous and Black men, must be saved), and rebellion (King Kong, as a Black man, breaks from his shackles and must be violently subdued). He has rebelled and therefore must be killed.

    But before this interpretation, King Kong was said to represent FDR’s ‘New Deal’. Cooper was a devote anti-communist and conservatives like him regarded the New Deal as a menace – an imprisoned import of a policy from a faraway land unleashed on society. Just like King Kong. It must be killed.

    I’ll offer my own interpretation:

    King Kong is an outsized mythical beast so absurdly huge that it can’t bear its own weight. When it does manage to move, it destroys the environment in its path. What is erected before us, since the dawn of the Anthropocene (or is it the Capitalocene), is an over exploitive and consumptive way of life that is off the charts. It has ‘an immense body, huge chest, and great muscular arms.’ It has ‘fiercely-glaring large deep gray eyes, and a hellish expression of face.’ It ‘seems to me like some nightmare vision.’ What stands before us is this king of environmental destruction. And it must be killed.

  • I sin första dokumentärfilm; Väninnor – berättelser från garderoben som gjordes tillsammans med Nina Bergström 1996 porträtterade Sander C. Neant Falk lesbiska i åldrarna 60 till 85 år. Filmen blev den första lesbiska dokumentären som gick upp på svenska biografer. I nästa dokumentär satte Sander videokameror i händerna på queera tonåringar som filmade sina liv. Det blev guldbaggebelönade Du ska nog se att det går över. En pärla till film, som numera går att se via bibliotekens streamingsajt Cineasterna.Ytterligare några år senare gjorde Neant Falk den meditativa konstfilmen Your Mind is Bigger than All the Supermarkets in the World, efter att ha studerat på Konstfack. 

    I det här avsnittet av SAQMI Play möter vi Sander C. Neant Falk, dokumentärfilmare, klippare, konstnär och pedagog verksam sedan 90-talet efter utbildning på filmskolan ESRA i Paris och dokumentärfilm på Biskops Arnö Nordens Folkhögskola i ett samtal med Malin Holgersson och Anna Linder.Avsnittet har fått stöd av Göteborgs Stads kulturnämnd - Projektstöd Pronto

    Biografi:Sander C. Neant Falk är dokumentärfilmare, klippare, konstnär och pedagog verksam sedan 90-talet efter utbildning på filmskolan ESRA i Paris, dokumentärfilm på Nordens Biskops Arnö och Konstfack. Neant Falk har regisserat, producerat och till stor del fotat och klippt sina tre långa dokumentärer som visats på biograf, SVT och vunnit flera priser på internationella filmfestivaler. Filmen Du ska nog se att det går över belönades med en Guldbagge för bästa dokumentär och fick hedersomnämnande av internationella filmkritikerförbundet FIPRESCI. Filmen Väninnor – berättelser från garderoben hyllades av kritiker och var den första lesbiska dokumentärfilmen som gick upp på svenska biografer. Båda filmerna ingår i Svenska Filminstitutets satsning på viktig svensk film som digitaliseras under 2021. 2005-08 studerade Neant Falk som filmare på Konstfack för att utforska ett mer experimentellt förhållningssätt till film, foto, video och klippning. Resultatet blev konstfilmen Your Mind is Bigger than All the Supermarkets in the World som fick fina recensioner och visades i fullsatta salonger på Folkets Bio. Sedan 2017 varvar Neant Falk egna konst och kortfilmsprojekt med arbete som terapeut med fokus på skapande processer och arbete som värd och konstpedagog på Konsthall C i Stockholm.

    Filmografi: 1996 – Väninnor - berättelser från garderoben - dokumentärfilm, 2003 - Du ska nog se att det går över, dokumentärfilm, 2010 - Your Mind is Bigger than All the Supermarkets in the World, dokumentärfilm, 2011 - Nine Speeches on Violence by Three Wise Men, konstfilm, The Cleansing Ceremony med Nya Konstnärsklubben, 2018-Om filmerna:

    Väninnor - berättelser från garderoben, 1996, 53 minDe är fem kvinnor i åldrarna 60 till 85 år och de är lesbiska. De har levt med rädslan att vara annorlunda och med risken att förskjutas av vänner, släktingar och arbetskamrater.I åratal har de smugit med sina känslor; dubbelliv har varit deras vardag. Någon av dem har aldrig tidigare talat om sin homosexualitet ens med sina närmaste. Med stark närvaro och sprängkraft berättar de fem kvinnorna om sina liv och om sin förbjudna kärlek. Tidstypisk musik, pressklipp, arkivbilder och privata fotografier illustrerar deras berättelser i denna varmt innerliga dokumentärfilm.Väninnor hyllades av kritikerkåren när den fick sin premiär under mitten av 90-talet, men har sedan dess varit otillgänglig för publiken. Nu har filmen äntligen digitaliserats och får lov att återta den framskjutna plats i queerhistorien den så väl förtjänar.Regissör: Sander C.

    Du ska nog se att det går över, 2003, 74 minDet var när My blev kär i Scully i Arkiv X som hon förstod att hon gillade tjejer. Ingen annan fick veta så klart. För hur ska man som 14-åring berätta för hela släkten och kompisarna att man är lesbisk? Fast hur ska man kunna låta bli?

    "Finns du tjej som dras till både killar och tjejer?" Som fjortonåring satte regissören Cecilia Neant-Falk in en kontaktannons i tidningen OKEJ 1985. Det kom svar från hela landet. Femton år senare satte hon in samma annons igen. My, Joppe och Natalie var tre av de 80 tjejer som svarade...

    "Du ska nog se att det går över" har spelats in under 4 år och är resultatet av ett unikt projekt med material direkt från tonårsgarderobens dunklaste vrår. My, Joppe och Natalie har låst dörren, slagit på kameran och berättat allt. Om mamma och pappa som inget vet, om NO-läraren som säger att det är fel i generna på homosexuella, om att bo i ett samhälle där alla vet allt om alla. Om Fucking Åmål, fast på riktigt! Om att växa upp som homoagent i en heterovärld.

    Filmen är ett djärvt collage av tekniker och medier som DV-cam, gamla arkivbilder och Super 8 vilka ackompanjeras av ett digert soundtrack med artister som Stina Nordenstam, Ani Di Franco och Eva Dahlgren. Åskådaren bjuds in i ett brokigt tonårs-landskap av rädsla, ilska, utanförskap, men framförallt av mod och lust. Det handlar om att våga lita till sin egen vilja och känsla. Att ta den på allvar även när det betyder att trotsa omgivningen och dess konventioner.IDE MANUS REGI: Cecilia Neant-Falk MEDVERKANDE: Natalie Durbeej, Johanna "Joppe" Svensson, My Sörensson REGIASSISTENTER: Joakim Rindå, Åsa Ekman, Jenny Sahlström FOTO: Cecilia Neant-Falk & Camilla Hjelm, Astrid Askberger KLIPP: Josef Nyberg & Cecilia Neant-Falk FINKLIPPNING: Berit Ljungstedt LJUD: Marcus Sötterman GRAFISK FORM: David Giese PRODUCENT: Cecilia Neant-Falk / Riot Reel AB I SAMPRODUKTION MED: Mette Heide / Team Production ApS (Danmark), Ulla Simonen / Kinotar OY (Finland), SVT Dokumentär, Film i Värmland, YLE TV1 MED STÖD AV: Svenska Filminstitutet / Filmkonsulent Göran Olsson / Hjalmar Palmgren, Det Danske Filminstitut, Konstnärsnämnden, Folkhälsoinstitutet, AVEK, Nordisk Film- & TV Fond LÄNGD OCH FORMAT: 74 min, 35 mm(1:1.33), VHS, färg, Dolby SR LJUD: Dolby SR DISTRIBUTION: Folkets bio COPYRIGHT RIOT REEL 2003Festivaler i urval:2003: Gothenburg Film Festival, Sweden, Outfest, Los Angeles, USA, Kombat Queer & Feminist Film Festival, Stockholm, Sweden, Berlin Lesbian Film Festival, Germany, Hamburg Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, Germany, Bergen Film Festival, Norway, Nordische Filmtage Lübeck, Germany, Mix Brasil, Brazil 2004: Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Australia, Festival International de Films de Femmes de Créteil, France, London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, UK, Hot Docs, Toronto, Canada, Queer Zagreb, Croatia, Brussels Pink Screens, Belgium, Inside Out Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival, Canada, Barcelona International Women's Film Festival, Spain.

    YOUR MIND IS BIGGER THAN ALL THE SUPERMARKETS IN THE WORLD - Some guidance for a lost Westerner, 2010, 73 minCecilia: Åh, jag har stora frågor till dig!Upul: Hur stora? Som Mount Everest?Cecilia: Ska jag ta den största förstUpul: Ja, ja…Cecilia: Vad är meningen med livet?Upul: Oj…!

    2004 reser regissören och konstnären Cecilia Neant Falk till Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Centre på Sri Lanka, där hon möter meditationsläraren Upul Nishanta Gamage. Sedan dess har Cecilia återvänt till Nilambe varje år, alltid med kamera och mikrofon. Det pågående samtalet mellan Cecilia och Upul, som äger rum varje eftermiddag kl. 16.30 tar oss med på en existentiell resa. 

    Här får Cecilias frågor – om rastlöshet, tid, minne, relationer, lycka, depression, Upuls jordnära svar från ett buddhistiskt filosofiskt perspektiv. Deras röster ackompanjeras av det tropiska landskapets fåglar och insekter i en rofylld filmsekvens med en skog, ett berg och en trädgård.

    Your Mind is Bigger than all the Supermarkets in the World är en 73 minuters stillsam resa där den största dramatiken är de tankegångar som sätts igång inom betraktaren. En film som ger energi och öppnar sinnet för nya tankebanor.

     "Som i en själslig dusch kliver jag in i salongen där Neant Falks film visas, låter ögat vila mot den grönskande bergssluttningen. Jag hör vindens sus och ser ett grässtrå beröras av en pust, i fjärran en bil som letar sig fram längs bergets fot. Genom Upul Nishantas lugna ord hör jag snart också något mer: mina egna djupa andetag, påminns om min egen puls. Tillsammans med den övriga publiken delar jag en stunds vila och med ny höjd i tankarna möter jag världen utanför igen.” Joakim RindåPremiärdatum: 7 mars 2010 Regissör & manus: Cecilia Neant Falk Land: Sverige (inspelad på Sri Lanka) Produktionsår: 2010 Produktionsbolag: Riot Reel & Bokomotiv AB Medverkande: Medtiationsläraren Upul Nishanta Gamage & Regissören Cecilia Neant Falk Längd: 73 min Producenter: Cecilia Neant Falk & Freddy Olsson Foto: Johan Rydberg & Cecilia Neant Falk Ljudmix: Owe Svensson Copyright: Cecilia Neant Falk Genre: Experimentell dokumentär Bildformat: 16:9, Färg Ljudformat: 5.1 Språk: engelska Textningsspråk: svenska & engelsk Översättning: Agneta Wirberg Textmakarna Distribution: Folkets  Bio AB
