HFT The Gardener extends Treister's fascination with esoteric translation, the cybernetics of consciousness, and the hallucinatory aesthetics that radiate from real-world circulations of power.

"Populism Reader accompanies Populism, an exhibition project in four European cities (Vilnius, Oslo, Amsterdam, Frankfurt am Main) exploring the relationships between contemporary art and current populist cultural and political trends. Conceived as an anthology, the publication comprises essays covering various aspects and approaches to the populist experience. The book is designed by M/M (Paris) and illustrated by Atelier Van Lieshout; contributions stem from amongst others activists, journalists, art critics, philosophers and political scientists. The Populism Reader goes beyond academic styles in order to respond to historical and current aspects of the populist experience, as they surface in relation to art, activism, the role of the intellectual, political desires, religion and other issues"--Publisher's website

“Science is a tool to think with, just like art…” This publication contains transcriptions of conversations between the artist Alexandra Hunts and Charles M. Marcus, professor in Condensed Matter Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Roland Barthes famously wrote: “Interdisciplinarity consists in creating a new object that belongs to no one.” This epistemological homelessness echoes through both Hunts’ and Marcus’s immigrant condition, and the histories of 20th-century art and science.
