In Sokndal, I spent the beginning of my stay looking for rock formations that I could make talk. To listen, I constructed a seismic measuring device that was attached to the rock and logged the small movements over time. What the rocks I selected as informants have in common is that they in various ways bear traces of human intervention and have been shaped through extraction, infrastructure and ritual practice.

The work of putting the meter together took longer than I had planned, partly because of technical challenges, but also because I was absorbed by the landscape and surroundings of Sokndal. When the meter was finally finished, I took it outside and attached it to the rock formations I wanted to monitor. It remained on the rock until the next day, and the bulk of the data was collected throughout the night. One night during this period, I woke myself up from a dream and had the idea that the data from the rocks could be read as a form of sleep data. What the meter picked up could perhaps say something about the rock's sleep patterns, and from there, speculatively interpreted as dreams that reveal something about its subconscious and history.
