  2010: Third anniversary 2009: 2nd time's a charm 2008: First anniversary 2007: Here we go!

I was a teenager when Jean-Michel Basquiat died, and at this time I was drawing my observing eye in the streets of Paris. Like I said in Grandmaster Flash, Seen, Jordans… Remembering the good old days!, graffiti and video games were among my center of interests during this period, and I can still remember what I was doing when Andy Warhol died in 1987, Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1988 and Keith Haring in 1990; three deaths of great artists that really inspired me and my work as an adult. Jean-Michel Basquiat was already famous in the mid 1980s and he is now even more. This week, two events in Paris are about the artist. First Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child directed by Tamra Davis, in French theaters since yesterday (October, 13th).

Who said particle physics and Art were two different things? On August 7, 2010, more than 200 amateur photographers from around the world had the rare opportunity to experience state-of-the-art accelerators and detectors in all of their complexity and beauty as part of the first Particle Physics Photowalk. And I wish I could have experienced it too. Now online voting is open and you can cast your vote for your favorite three photographs by October 8. What is your favorite? If you want to vote you have to hurry, there is only one day left. Now at CERN. American artist Josef Krisotofoletti used a cherry-picker lift and a collection of vibrant paints to turn the building’s rectangular face and side into a three-dimensional mural representing ATLAS, the largest detector at the Large Hadron Collider. You can see the result here and it indeed looks great. Krisotofoletti said during his time…⇒ READ MORE

On this sunny Sunday afternoon, I was in the mood to listen to some relaxing music. The kind of music you can listen to all day long. My friends at The Sama Gazette sent me an email the day before about Seahawks Friday Download 18, a 62 minutes mix by Jon ‘The Captain’ Tye titled ‘Exploring The Galaxy‘. Quite an adventure, right? If you don’t know what this is about, here is a quick explanation. Seahawks is the music project by Artist Pete Fowler and Jon Tye described as follows: ‘Seahawks have been on the waves since 2009, cooking up their catches, beach combing for discarded, unwanted and buried treasures. Sometimes too covered in thick tar for most to notice. Psychedelic yacht rock, hazy beach pop vibrations and marina drone are all ports of call’. This is exactly the music I needed, thank you! I know Pete Fowler’s work (illustrations,…⇒ READ MORE
