    Reactie van Sonic Acts festival

    Er is geen enkele beleidsreden om 200 miljoen te bezuinigen. Het is zo afgesproken met de PVV in ruil voor gedoogsteun voor het minderheidskabinet in het parlement. De bedoeling ervan: onherstelbare...

    images from your kitchen sink

    A painting looks like it has been painted. A photograph looks like it has been photographed. And yet, I am not bothered by an image being so obviously silkscreened. Why is it then, that I am so...

    Morse

    Jodi

    In 1999 Morse was abolished as an official communication language. The last message that the French marine sent was: Calling all. This is our last call before eternal silence. And since then, Morse...

    Branwyn, Sugarman

    Gareth Branwyn & Peter B. Sugarman, Beyond Cyberpunk: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to the future, The Computer Lab, 1992

    Cyberpunk. Is it a literary genre? Is it a marketing hype? Is it the latest style in the culture industry? Is it the apotheosis of Postmodernism?

    Thoughts on terrorists and history on the occasion of Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y

    Zapruder Stress: the weight of endlessly expanding meanings (meanings of representations of what might have taken place). No mystery is solved, and there?s no promise of redemption. Dial H-I-S-T-O-R

    54 Giorni

    1978, Italy. A prosperous country, but also a country of the mafia and the Brigate Rosse, one of high inflation, omertà, corruption beneath a facade, at least two cabinets per year, a country of...

    Thoughts on terrorists and history on the occasion of Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y

    In my view, it doesn't matter what genre Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y belongs to. Is it art, a documentary, a pseudo-documentary? Is it fiction or just a carnival of samples, an over the top video clip with...

    Finnegans Wake as a Secret Agent? ...a fantasy
