Dit boek gaat over de rol die de wiskunde speelt in de manier waarop de mens kennis opbouwt over deze wereld. Vanuit de recente westerse wetenschapsantropologie (Bruno Latour) en fenomenologische wetenschapskritiek (Rudolf Boehm) wordt de zoektocht aangevat naar de politieke momenten van de wiskunde. Centrale concepten uit de wiskunde als deductie, bewijs en revolutie komen aan bod, evenals de evolutie en differentiatie van wiskunde bij Thales van Milete, Pythagoras, Plato en Aristoteles. De ...

Situated as it is at the very turn of the century, and questioning from the outset the inflation and desubstantialisation involved in the hegemony of images, Michel Mazzoni’s photographic practice is an image factory or rather an image-thinking factory. An image which outflanks it and decompartmentalises it in multifarious ways, from its installation in situ to its editorial deployment. An image qua cultural artefact in its capacity to link us to the world in a shared sense of perpetual pre...

In zijn eerste werk heeft de auteur aangetoond dat de bevolkingstoename de belangrijkste motor is van de toename van het CO2-gehalte in de atmosfeer en gaf hij ook de nodige, bijkomende maatregelen aan. Zijn mathematisch bewijs bevestigde de waarnemingen en besluiten van diverse onderzoekers, zoals Brian O’Neill, Frank Götmark, Nobelprijswinnaar Christian de Duve en Peter Singer.

Nieuw keerpunt, nieuwe publicatie: vanaf 2004 groeit het methaangehalte permanent en wel quasi-exponentieel. Oo...

With the book ‘Saudade’, Laura makes a call to the ambassadors of the word. She hopes to ‘contaminate’ as many people as possible with her love for this word, so it might become shared and

commonplace.

When she heard the word and the meaning sinked in after repetition, she experienced a kind of homecoming. It was as if everything fell into place; her oeuvre and that which pushed her to paint suddenly had a common denominator, a flag that covered the load. And she discovered something...

STUFF provides an overview of ten years public art projects and includes an in-depth interview by prof.dr. Wouter Davidts about what this practice means for Van den Broek. Especially for this publication, the artist created new sketches on tracing paper that provide insight into his working process and the interaction with his painterly oeuvre. The book is lavishly illustrated and contains never before published images of designs, models, work in progress and temporary, executed and not execu...

"Dumitru is a project started in 2015. The corpus of images that composes it comes mainly from archives relating to the period of the reign of the Ceaucescu dictatorship in Romania (1974/1989). Missed Utopias, lost dreams, technologies that have become obsolete ... For four years, I drew on these images, scrutinized and enlarged their surfaces, revisited places by making new shots, trying out new assemblies, such as a montage game, until evidence emerges.

The book is a posthumous tribute to D...

In the mid-1970’s, Matt Mullican developed a unique artistic language based on pictograms, diagrams and cosmological models. In reaction to conceptual art, this return to the image made the American artist one of the represantatives of the Picture Generation. Alongside these symbols placed on various supports (sheets, books, stained glass, etc.), his performances under hypnosis give expression to that person, an emblematic, even caricatural human figure. In 2018, Matt Mullican created repre...

Op een dag ontwaakt een jongen zonder herinneringen op het strand. Via talrijke ontmoetingen leert hij de regels van het spel. Of leren de anderen nog het meest van hem?

Aan de hand van het hoofdpersonage exploreert auteur en regisseur Nathalie Teirlinck het universele verlangen naar geborgenheid en een thuis. Een modern sprookje dat op een speelse manier reflecteert over prangende thema's als 'anders zijn', vriendschap en ­eigenwaarde. Met prachtige illustraties van kunstenares Ingrid Godon.

The first part focuses on Brussels' posit...
