There's much to say about Gerhard Richter, there's a long life full of interesting and always zeitgeisty works to cover. But this is not an essay, these are just 500 words to give you a quick of the kind of works he became so famous for. Gerhard Richter is an icon, a landmark in the world of visual...

The history of northern Italy is complex. It's a constant back and forth between different political and religious forces, between different cultures and ideals, between different interests. Guelphs and Ghibellins are two factions that developed in the 11th and 12th century. Their names originated...

Thousand miles through northern Italy, a round trip from Brescia down to Rome and back up to Brescia again. Vintage cars, old towns and cities, curvy roads and a lot of history. That's Mille Miglia.

In a way I like cars. Cars are wonderful design objects telling a lot about the history and the p...

There's only so much you can do. There's only so much you can see or find. There's only so much you can research. Most often things just occur. Without your understanding or your knowledge. The world exists without a greater plan and without a map laying out all the details of life. This play of ful...

What would civilization be without play? Would it even exist? Indeed one could argue that play is older than civilization, that it's even older than culture itself. Long before we became settlers and started developing rites and cultures to built up our societies play was already there. Children are...

Information is uncertainty, surprise, difficulty, and entropy.

—James Gleick

Everything tends toward entropy. Entropy means disorder and chaos. Entropy means the final state of everything. Sooner or later everything will be in the state of entropy. That state will be totally random and unabl...

In today's world information is ubiquitous. It's everywhere, you can't escape. All these libraries, books, social media accounts, YouTube videos, PDFs and Websites need to be processed at some point. The relevant information needs to be taken out, all the irrelevancies need to be left behind. But it...

There's something eternal about all these Roman ruins, artifacts and buildings all over Europe. Still today it's hard to imagine how an empire could operate on such a huge territory and in such high precision. The Romans really have been planers, builders and organizers. I wonder how much of that le...
