Interesting book presentation and panel conversation yesterday at het paleis in Antwerp about the experience of war outside of the actual war zones.
The evening began with a powerful poem written and read by Yousra Benfquih (first part in photos).

In the EU? Please take a moment to sign this petition. Because what kind of species are we, allowing this ruthless planetary pillaging to continue? Destroying so many nonhuman cohabitantsβ lives and habitats? We must be mad, right?

Hallo! This short text is written out of frustration with the misunderstandings about what it means to have a digital art practice in the context of the traditional arts. The situation is based on my observations in Belgium. Allow me to explain:

Some bronze age stops in our Sweden road trip up north: drawings that were βin useβ between 6,000 and 1,000 years ago - near the magnificent Flatruet (broken arrow points nearby suggest the drawings were shot at), and a beautiful stone ship (apprx. 4,000 years old) near StrΓΆmstad.

Cancelled OpenAI subscription today. I explored it as an aid for my thesis for a year, but over the last six months it became increasingly difficult to work with: sometimes it was excellent, but often it just went off rail.
& You donβt want that level of unpredictability in your military, right?
Preparing for a studio visit tomorrow AND the presentation of the virtual sculpture Tools (v004) at the Flemish Royal Academy for Science and the Arts in Brussels next week.
I do seem to accumulate a lot of equipment, I noticed. I buy used mostly, and repurpose them for art. Artistic refurbishing!
Hive mind of the interwebs! Can anyone tell me something about this vessel I found in an Antwerp thrift shop? It looks old, but I canβt find similar shapes to compare.
(I have a thing for old, basic pottery, so couldnβt resist taking this one home π)

Hey kids! Check out my totally revamped website! I tried to keep it as lean as possible, but could not resist turning the landing page into a circus, with all the browser-based fun and what not. It even has a little shop!

Let me know what you think.
