Paul Friedlander - Kinetic light sculptor
"Welcome to the house of chaos." Message with a double sense. Firstly, caught offhand by my early arrival, my hosts have neither had the time to change, nor to clear up the toys that litter the floorboards. Secondly, it refers to the movement that offered Paul Friedlander the opportunity present his sculptures to the general public in 1990. He was, at that time, at the head of a group of artists and scientists involved in exploring the "theory of chaos", advancing the hypothesis that it is always possible to meet the unexpected in the middle of ordered phenomena: the famous "butterfly effect", dear to so many meteorologists and the "determinist systems" of mathematicians.

First pictures from JR and Marco's FACE2FACE Project
We then traveled across the Israeli and Palestinian cities without speaking much. Just looking to this world with amazement.
This holly place for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This tiny area where you can see mountains, sea, deserts and lakes, love and hate, hope and despair embedded together.

Fractal or Fake?
Jackson Pollock couldn't possibly have been thinking of fractals when he started flinging and dripping paint from a stick onto canvas. After all, mathematicians didn't develop the idea of a fractal until a couple of decades later. But if one physicist is right, Pollock ended up painting fractals anyway.

It's like San Francisco - with greyer weather
Is Liverpool really the centre of the creative universe?
When the US beat poet and counter-cultural icon Allen Ginsberg arrived in Liverpool in May 1965, he declared the city to be "at the present moment, the centre of consciousness of the human universe". Perhaps his pronouncement shouldn't be taken too seriously: he made similar claims for Milwaukee and Baltimore. As Liverpool poet Brian Patten, whose floor Ginsberg slept on, says: "I think Allen believed the centre of human consciousness to be wherever he was at the time."
