This text approaches the author’s summer encounter with MT Yuriy Kuchiev, an icebreaker tanker built in Helsinki shipyard and delivered in fall 2019. The researcher investigates how their entanglement with a "hyperobject”, and other non-human entities produced an event of “oddification” (Borja, 2019) in the quotidian life, by relating them with their non-neurotypical subjectivity. The article outlines the neurotypical norms that convention repetition and echolalia to the incapability of producing novelty. The analysed sources of data are pictures, fieldnotes and instant messaging transcripts.
