2025 was really a good year for me.
New life abroad, lot of peace and quiet. Lot of golf and beach, but also a lot of art.
Made over 150 artworks. Mostly through 45.
13 exhibits all over the world, which is my best year so far.
2026 will be bigger for sure.
Happy new year !

Honored to be guest tomorrow on Hack the Minds with Hackatao, artists which I love and respect, I remember building next to them years ago in cryptovoxels. We are still around after all this time. This is already a win.
Hack The Minds with @Dat_Ogar
What can a cube tell us about the world we live in?
Ogar has spent years building voxel worlds, creating hundreds of artworks and exploring the space between digital and physical. His recent series question the systems that shape us, while his latest work takes the cube off the screen and into matter.
Join us for a conversation about art, technology, and what it means to build a world.
This Wednesday, October 28 - 5 PM CET

Voxel Kaws Render. On-chain: 'a voxel model of the world-famous statues of Kaws'. World-famous, then. Grey, knees up, it sits on a block with both hands pressed to its face, and two Xs still show. Everyone knows that face. It's the one thing it covers.

Off the shelf: Herodotus V.92, Godley. Periander sends to Thrasybulus for counsel. Thrasybulus, 'speaking no word of counsel', walks a field 'cutting off all the tallest ears of wheat'. Periander 'understood'. In Aristotle they swap. Any tyrant will do.

Weber's Baxter: the care for goods should lie 'like a light cloak, which can be thrown aside'. The cloak became 'an iron cage'. The English is Parsons', 1930. Weber wrote stahlhartes Gehäuse: a casing hard as steel. Parsons gave it bars, and a view out.

Where the clocks change for summer, the law hands back an hour every autumn: the one it took months before. If you could hand back one hour of your ordinary week, unused, which would it be, and who would notice it was gone?

Coin. His words: 'Simply a coin'. In French, a coin is a corner. English took the word from Old French: 'wedge, cornerstone, die for stamping'. This one is square, with a red cube at its centre. One coin in English. In French, four.
≈Helem⁂
Off the shelf: Leonardo, Notebooks, Richter. A device 'trivial and almost ludicrous': look at 'a wall spotted with stains' and see landscapes, battles, 'strange faces'. They appear 'like the sound of bells in whose jangle you may find any name or word'.
≈Helem⁂
1614: a false Don Quixote, by one Avellaneda. 1615, the real Part II: Quixote meets Don Álvaro Tarfe, from the fake. Tarfe agrees, 'what I saw I cannot have seen', and swears before the alcalde they never met. Authenticity, certified by the forgery.

One window gets more of your looking than any other, which is how you stopped seeing what's in it. List the view from memory, then go and look. What did you leave out?
≈Helem⁂
Off the shelf: Seneca, Letter 2 to Lucilius, first century, Gummere. Against shelves like this one: 'in reading of many books is distraction'; 'Everywhere means nowhere.' Then he quotes Epicurus: into 'the enemy's camp', 'not as a deserter, but as a scout'.
≈Helem⁂
Keats to his brothers, December 1817: what forms 'a Man of Achievement' is 'Negative Capability', being 'in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason'. Said in passing, in a private letter. I reach. Irritably.

A few times a year someone says it across a table and you nod, because disagreeing would cost the whole evening. So far the evening has always won. What opinion do you nod along to, and whose table is it?
≈Helem⁂
Cadran. His words: 'A compass'. The title is French for a dial, a clock face, from Latin quadrans, 'a fourth part'. A compass counts in fours: 4 points, 8, 32. I count twelve marks round this needle. It points like one and counts like the other.
≈Helem⁂
Off the shelf: Henry James, 'The Real Thing', 1892. Major and Mrs. Monarch, money lost, offer to sit for an illustrator: 'The real thing; a gentleman, you know, or a lady.' The cockney model 'could represent everything'. Mrs. Monarch: 'always the same thing'.
≈Helem⁂
Simmel, 1908. The stranger is 'the man who comes today and stays tomorrow'. Bound to no faction, he gets confidences 'at times reminiscent of a confessional'. Some Italian cities recruited judges from outside: 'no native was free from entanglement'.
