De dood van Koning Eenoog Vijf jaar geleden schreef ik deze tekst als opmaat voor een onderzoek naar de waarde van de geschiedenis van de fotografie voor nieuwe media. Dat had een boek moeten worden.

Substack over de erfenis van het medium fotografie.

I'm in Kharkiv, Ukraine working on a chapter of our nl12.lab VR project The March. We are creating it together with the hugely talented young artists at Azi Nizi Maza who did not stop working when war interupted their lives. The children work nearly every day in the 'save' basement of the studio.

If this isn't enough to freak everybody the fuck out, I do not know what else will.

Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods
YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
