Super happy to finally hold a physical copy of my book. It will be out and available after the summer, please contact me if you are interested to review it or to organize an event around it.

Day before yesterday I had a screening of "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59" in Denver, in a collaboration by Signal Culture, Denver Digerati, Collective Misnomer and the Rainbow Dome. Astro Kino took care of a magnificent DCP projection, incredibly bright and crisp. A nice crowd and some really interesting questions in the Q&A.

A group of people watching the screen in a cinema-like setting. The screen is a bit overexposed but we can still make out a pattern of green lines on the screen.

Later today I will leave on a US tour consisting of three screenings, four talks and a mini-residency, with appearances in Boston, Buffalo, College Station, Colorado and Dallas.

The fourth stop will consist of a mini-residency at Signal Culture and a screening in Denver.

An abstract image consisting of straight lines converging in the center. The overall colour is a bluish-green, and the lines have subtly different shades of colour. One bright line is graciously curved.

Two racks filled with electronics modules, some manual controls are visible, the modules have many BNC connectors on their front panels. The racks are partially obscured by a tangle of thick, black BNC cables.

Looking forward to being part of the jury of the InScience International Science Film Festival in Nijmegen, the coming weekend.

Dear all, I hope to embark on a small US tour in the spring, so far with dates in Boston, Buffalo, College Station and Dallas. Between those last two I still have a gap in my schedule from Thursday the 27th to Sunday the 30th of March, would anybody have a suggestion for a place to screen my most recent film or give a talk or - even better - both, preferably in Texas or in a state not far from Texas ? 1/2

A view of the studio in October 2020 that didn't make it into the book, this was during the making of my film "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59".
