The Computer Chronicles
Remember when I was rambling on retrofuturism from the 80s/90s, and that there was something fascinating about it, because it's so close and yet so far, and that there was something to do with it ?

Our friend Damien Hirst
Two weeks ago I went to Brussels' Contemporary Art Fair, and the alarming high number of blingified objects (golden skate board, hand grenade encrusted with Swarovski crystals, golden steel shed, etc) brought Damien Hirst back to my mind. Not that I had really forgotten …
