I photographed the school spelling bee and my eye kept being drawn to the dictionary on the edge of the table.

from the plaque: "Carved by Master Carver Cicero August and his sons Darrell and Doug August of the Cowichan Tribes... The loon, fisherman, bone game player, and frog represent lessons of the past and hope for the future. Erected February 2, 1990."
6 August 2020, with Rita Hoofwijk and Sien Vanmaele
During an intimate evening, Rita Hoofwijk for the first time shared the results of her ongoing collaboration with South African artist Hannah Loewenthal: Being Here for You. They investigate if it is possible to experience something for someone else. To be their eyes and ears, their hands, their state of mind. The knowledge that Rita presented the project for Hannah made everyone more aware of what it means to be present.
The second performance of the evening was by Sien Vanmaele, who took us on a poetic investigation of seaweed as possible source of nutrition and energy in one of her Cooking workshops in preparation of the end of the world. Not #1 Kombucha as announced, but #3 Zeewier & Zilte Planten. She interrupted her mesmerising story with brief instructions to prepare a wonderful briny butter.

The image shows a 50 cm granite rock sample, a prototype of the MATRIX (MAchine for Time Reversal and Immersive eXperimentation). The aim is to couple a physical experiment with a virtual domain to better understand elastic wave propagation inside the rock, knowledge crucial for, e.g., earthquake monitoring. The rock is covered with reflective markers to enhance vibrational scanning via a 3D laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). This long-exposure (20 s) photograph makes the invisible visible, adding vapor to reveal the laser beams that measure vibrations at the surface. A brief illumination of the reflective stickers highlights the rock’s edges, symbolizing the contrast between what is seen and what remains concealed beneath. The green laser of the LDV traces a waveform onto the rock, representing the signals used to probe the rock’s interior. The image captures the intersection of experimental physics and visualization, revealing the unseen, much like seismic waves do in geophysics.
