In her final 2025 Artlab Editorial Fellowship essay, writer Elvia Wilk explores Jenna Sutela’s “many-headedness”—channeling of bacteria, slime molds, and machine learning to confound notions of singular authorship. In a close reading of nimiia cétiï (2018), Wilk connects the Finnish artist’s practice to 19th-century spiritualist Hélène Smith, whose ‘Martian language’ structured the video’s uncanny vocalizations. Wilk concludes that Sutela is herself a medium—listening first, then attuning us to new frequencies.
