Sense that I need to get back to my "Society of the Drone spectacle" essay based on drone warfare x social media engagement based on Ukrainian-Russian war.

Especially, when FPV-drones became integral part of mundane social media reality in Ukraine.

Prototyping our hackathon concept.

We would love hackathon to be a time of mutual care. Where instead of separation (Ethereum vs Solana, TEE vs MPC, identity vs anonymity etc) we unite, share and help each other.

Careathon = interdisciplinarity.

Last year was finishing under a dramatic star for me. I was in Athens exploring European union illusion. Suddenly decided to run a Privacy x web3 awards driven by impulse. It led to 100 expert selections, many interesting insights & knowledge sharing.

Tomorrow is the day

Discovery of the year: Austrian film museum in Vienna hosts Amos Vogel Library with about 8000 books & journals. And my friends knows librarian who hosts it.

Amos disrupted societal taboos opposed on viewer. He radicalised screen instead of complying with a manipulated audience.

For some years Google collabs with The Behavioural Architects agency specialises in "Behavioural Science". Their goal is to "change behaviour - such as nudging and steering behaviour".

Where consumerism turns into a strong emotional affinity with brands you don't need, peers you don't know.

Moving from digital media to film feels like a strange trajectory.
Shoot 16mm movie in Berlin recently, now bought an analogue camera & 20 rolls in Bangkok. Trying to capture ghosts, dreams & subconsciousness between life and death - state of obsession by fav Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
