To many, Ted Kaczinsky is better known as the Unabomber. He stood behind several bomb attacks in USA in the period from 1978 to 1995. During the same time, he wrote essays critical of society. He was sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole, in 1996.

In 2020, Vårscenefest was arranged as a digital festival, using the name Vårskjermfest, due to coronavirus prevention measures.

Nina Ossavy also made the recording available through her own website.
