Very nice exhibition 'Uncharted' in Iselp in Brussels, curated by Camilla Colombo of Ohme. Pictured an intriguing work by Noémie Goudal.

Today I was introducing ArtScience approaches to a nice and interesting group of PhD candidates researching chirality-induced electron spin selectivity: I am more familiar with talking to artists about science than the other way around !

Today we are revisiting some of these (golden ?) oldies.

Very nice to be able to see some outcomes of the clay PCB workshop at Creative Coding Utrecht yesterday. This is a project on decolonizing hardware by Stefanie Wuschitz and Patrícia Reis, sourcing materials locally as much as possible.

Crystals in the mail ! Ten supposedly almost perfect cubic crystals similar to those used in the 1930s experiments that I am attempting to replicate/reenact.

First time using git directly to upload the results of a day of coding to a repository and it is so much more straightforward than the overcomplicated git plugin that I used before.

A very interesting (first) visit to the crazy large nano-electronics research complex of imec in Leuven.

Very interesting paper from 1983, for Tuesday's 'Vibrant Matter' seminar.

This set of tanbur strings already looked ancient when I bought it in the early 2000s, in Şemsi Yastıman Saz Evi in Istanbul, a store that I remember felt like an institution and which doesn't exist anymore. Now the question is: are ancient unused strings still new strings ?

Coming Tuesday, my (very) short film 'VRFLM' from 1994 will be shown in Paris at Cinéma Luminor Hotel de Ville. The great-looking programme is entitled "Composter : Jardins cosmiques et Édens pollués", put together by Teresa Castro and Alice Leroy for Lightcone.

In a week time, I will be presenting my approach to research as part of the fall lecture series on practice-based artistic research of the Institute Digital Communication Environments (IDCE) of the HGK Basel.
Everybody welcome !

Those cheerful blotches go very well with the cover design but are not actually part of it. I suppose it is coffee, but given the semiconducting substances discussed in the book there is always the potential for something more toxic.
