        • About the squirrels

          We are currently four squirrels. We have backgrounds from various academic fields (chemistry, anthropology, informatics, literature), and three of us have all ended up working as graphic designers and web developers. The fourth is our resident author, film maker and musician.

          We come from different countries (Norway, Argentina, Netherlands, New Zealand) with our resident Argentinian now living in Germany. This site is basically where we collect interesting, weird, odds and ends on any issue that peaks our individual and collective interests. Usually, it has a visual component but not always (see rants and quotes :). It is about sharing what is fascinating, some art-design we make ourselves, and also an archive of things that often slip through the gaps.

          Hope you enjoy our cabinet of curiosities!
