Last weekend I was in Turin to catch some exhibitions and, in addition to the one on Giger I talked about yesterday, we also caught a really neat one on another of my favourite visionaries, William Blake, set in the former Royal residence and hunting lodge called Venaria Reale. The show is articulated into 6 […]
Turin mounted a small but very nice exhibition with some fine pieces I had never seen before. The concept is that H.R. Giger, the Swiss visionary behind the xenomorph in Alien, is so much more than that. I was already familiar with the rest of his production, but it was nice to see. Can’t get […]
If you remember from the last time I talked about him, I’m not overly fond of Picasso as a man. I can’t get over his attitude towards women and I think it’s high time to rethink his appropriation of African art. The Picasso Museum itself agrees with me. That being said, this recent exhibition at […]
I have no idea why, but the English versions of the panels for this exhibition in Milan translate the title as “Munch’s Inner Fire“, while literally the title has no shame in referring to Munch’s most famous work, the infamous Scream.

Yesterday, we took a look at a brief introduction to the new AEC Data Model API, which targets data within files on your Autodesk Construction Cloud instead of drawing all of them and sifting through them later (which isn’t half bad when a system is paid per credit, let me tell you). Today we’ll try […]

Second post in the South African notes, following a bittersweet focus on its history (remember? 2.4 million people living in slums), and this time I promise it’ll get less grim. Maybe. And it will have penguins. 2. Nature and Wildlife South Africa hosts one of the world’s six floral kingdoms, the others being the Holarctic, […]
