Yesterday Rachèl Louise performanced in our living room at Sanne’s birthday. What an amazing concert!

Last week, I was at De Balie’s “Beyond privacy” evening, where Siva Vaidhyathan was talking about his new book (to be published early 2011).

In this book, he will try to answer 3 questions:
What does the world look like through the lens of Google?; How is Google’s ubiquity affecting the production and dissemination of knowledge?; and how has the corporation altered the rules and practices that govern other companies, institutions, and states?

In his talk he very much focused on the lack of information Google gives their users, who are mostly not knowledgeable enough to make a good decision about whether or not to use Google. Interesting point!

Anyway, read Siva’s blog for more! http://www.googlizationofeverything.com/

My friend just launched his website – very nice one I think!

Finally went to Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst last weekend.

A great and big location, and promising exhibitions in the booklet. However, most was not really my cup of tea – very weird exhibitions!
