The Tektronix 7704A oscilloscope is the most modular analogue oscilloscope I know: not only does it have space for four amplifier and trigger plugins, but even the 'display unit' holding the CRT can be swapped for another one.
After several years of owning a spare 'display unit' I finally have a project where this strange feature may turn out to be actually useful. But first these machines need some maintenance and repair.

Had no idea that at the occasion of the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in 1962, Monsanto published a speculative account of the devastation that a year without pesticides would bring to the USA.

Last days of the exhibition at Various Artists, 19 Essex St NYC, including works by Greg Zifcak, Sara Hornbacher, Blinn & Lambert, Jen Kutler, Jonas Bers, Phil Baljeu, Anton Rickets and a continuous projection of my "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59" from 2023.

Consulting the old manuals researching the technical feasibility of a smallish spin-off project..

The title (and the cover) doesn't do justice to this book from 2005; the (very slightly extended) English version is called "Chemistry, the impure science" which is a bit better. Anyway, (another) great book by perhaps the most interesting more or less current author on the history and philosophy of chemistry.

Coming Wednesday the 13th of May, my film "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59" will be screened at Disarm Cinema in Columbia, Missouri.

Happy to have contributed and spent a day at the great Oscillation festival organised by qo2 in Brussels. One of the highlights was the talk by Marie Thompson, giving a preview of het upcoming book "The Sonic Surrogates".

Earlier today, the forces of nature were conspiring against me re-reading the conclusion of Simondon's "Du Mode d'Existence des Objets Techniques".

Just out and just in ! Curious about this one by Shintaro Miyazaki.
