“I don’t want to learn what isn’t possible, because as
soon as I know about limitations, I start to respect
them. It’s better to pretend you don’t know the limita-
tions, so you can break them.”
The Pirate Party’s “do, make, fix, break” hacker
approach to politics is resonating with voters—
but, why?
“Looking good does not necessitate doing good. The
number of refugees to receive protection in Iceland
this year remains between fifty and one hundred
persons.”
The internationally-reported news that 10,000
Icelanders would gladly welcome Syrian
refugees into their homes may have been slightly
optimistic as the government drags its feet.
“Many beautiful weather words have disappeared. If
nobody is using them, they are essentially dead.”
Do you know your Derringur (cold wind) from
your Amra (slow breeze)? And that Icelanders
have a day for celebrating their language, that’s
almost upon us?
“I get inspiration from the weather, the time of
year, where I am in the circle of the year. It’s been a
year since I started writing it... it’s like completing
a circle. That’s the big concept I’m working on
with this—the circling of everything.”
Samaris, Pascal Pinon and GANGLY singer
Jófríður Ákadóttir talks about her poetic
new solo project.
