Abstract [en]

This paper explores how memories of wonder and awe might be shared to spark a similar experience in the co-creator. Rather than seeking a definitive answer to this question, it uses letters as a form of enquiry, emphasising process over outcome and embracing the non-linear nature of exploration. 

The letters examine key themes including attention shifts, resistance, and the sublime, offering both personal reflections and theoretical insights. Drawing from sources such as the romantics, Jenny Odell, and Dacher Keltner, they reflect the importance of redirecting attention—away from the fast-paced, convenience-driven demands of modern life and commercial algorithms—toward slower, more deliberate encounters with horizons, in-between spaces, and the wonder found in nature, art, and communal experiences. 

The paper concludes that this question is not one to be resolved without ambiguity, but to be carried forward as a guiding principle in the artistic process, inviting continuous reflection, making and conversation.
