Hey,

1. ℹ️ The German police raided homes of „Zwiebelfreunde“ privacy activists this week. Reasons are dubious to say the least.
2. 🎧 Martyn’s new album ‎Voids is out on Ostgut Ton. I love his music.
3. 🔑 Protecting cryptocurrencies correctly is hard. This talk about “Building Crypto Castles” raises interesting points about new security models coming with the Information Age.
4. 👨🏻‍💻 Cryptocurrencies is not only about money. It is also about rare digital collectibles. Collectibles can be purchased on specialized marketplaces like OpenSea or Known Origin. Technically, collectibles are defined by the ERC-721 standard. Don’t know how to code? Don’t worry, the fine people of Smartzprovide free smart-contract code.
5. 👩‍💻👩‍🎨 Crypto-collectibles are huge opportunities for digital-minded artists as they can help expand Patronage Collectibles for Creators.
6. 📺🇫🇷 La nouvelle saison d’Au Service De La France est disponible sur Arte+7. C’est du bonheur! Jean-François Halin prouve encore qu’il est un des meilleurs auteurs comiques Français.

Salut!

Do I want to write an intro? No. So here we go with a very futuristic link selection.

1. 👩‍🎨👨‍💻🔑 This is the most fascinating article I ever read on Art, AI, and Blockchain: Does AI Art Belong in the Physical, Digital, or Crypto World?.
2. 🎧 I love this psychedelic groove: Marhaba by Maalem Mahmoud Guinia, Floating Points & James Holden.
3. 🔐 Oli Frost has put all his personal Facebook data on eBay. Yes, you can really bid!
4. 🔐 Nathan Toups has wrote a good article on going completely “Unquantified“. He also wrote a censorship resistant deadman’s switch. Do we live in a cyberpunk world? Absolutely!
5. 👩‍💻👩‍🎨 You have to watch the videos/gifs of Madeline Gannon training industrial robots to use body language to communicate.
6. 🔑 If you’re wondering how I often feel about technology: This is how I feel.
7. 🎧 For some reasons, I spent a few days only listening to FIP (the best musical radio, and it’s french!). I created a playlist with some tunes I like.

Salut!

I don’t have much to share this week. I spent less time surfing the web and more time enjoying the real life.

1. Joanna Swirska is a tattoo artist from Poland who creates trippy tattooswith neon-like green and blue.
2. AMA – a short film by Julie Gautier. A beautiful underwater choregraphy by Julie Gautier, a free diving champion.
3. L.B. Dub Corp (a.k.a. Luke Slater) released a techno album called Side Effects on his own imprint Mote Evolver. I love his former album Unknown Origin released in 2013 on Ostgut Ton.
4. SeekSickSound premiered Flore’s Iskaba released on LowUp for their 10th anniversary.
5. Mark Burgess released some Promise Theory notes applied to Blockchain / Consensus.

Hey hey hey !

You good?

I finally picked a name for this section on the blog. I was never satisfied with the “Links Worth Sharing” name. It was a bit too cold. I haven’t settled for a language as well. I’d like to write in French but I want as well to reach a global audience. I read mostly articles in English, so I’m not sure it makes sense to write French here.

Aloha,

Here are some links I think are worth sharing. I’m taking a few weeks off ?, so please wait a bit for the next edition!

1. I finished binging Star Trek: Enterprise. Despite its many default, I loved this show! The final episode is utter shit though.
2. Speaking of binging, The End of the F***ing World is pretty fun to binge!
3. I started reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and it’s already blowing my mind. I love that kind of big unifying theory.
4. A few months ago I read Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth by R. Buckminster Fuller. The theory of the Great Pirates is highly inspiring. He also describes the problem with our accounting. It seems boring but it’s actually one of the biggest problem we have as neo-liberalism is such a shitty system when speaking of externalities.
5. A Curated List of Privacy Respecting Services and Software. Use it if you want to find alternative to human-farming services.
6. En France, les villes lentes font leur chemin. Basé sur le modèle du Slow Food, les Slow Cities conjuguent ruralité et urbanité.
7. Minimal warm groovy house music? Yes please! Farben Presents James DIN A4.
8. NEEEEED! LEGO Just Got Stylish: Modular Furniture to Bring Out Your Inner Child.
