Geek wall


Sandy Smith is making art works by recycling computers, this piece is called mauritan sunset. I like the idea of course but also the light & atmosphere it gives to the room :)

Thomas Herbrich








What could I say in front of so much creativity? Sometimes it's best to just shut up and I think it's one of those times.

my sister

My little sister is still in high school and will probably end by studying science-something like the whole family (yes I got a scientist family I'm kind of the black sheep!) but I think she's got quite good artistic eyes and she makes beautiful photographs, have a look!










You can see more of her pictures on zwoing.deviantart.com

International day against violences against women

Today is the beginning of the 16 days of activism against gender violence, this worldwide campaign deals with a huge subject that would take a lot of time to cover properly, and as I'm on a hurry I'll just give you a very few stunning statistics & cool print ads on the subject:


"At least 60 Million girls who would otherwise be expected to be alive are "missing" from various population as a result of sex-selective abortions as they are seen as less important than boys" (E, Joni Seager, 2003)




"At least 1 out of 3 women (or up to 1 billion women), have been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in their lifetimes" (L Heise, M Ellsberg, M Gottemoeller)




"Up to 70% of female murder victims are killed by their male partners" (WHO 2002)

(translation: "and you say you love her? 1 woman out of 10 victim of domestic violence in France")



"82 million girls who are now aged 10 to 17 will be married by force before their 18th birthday" (UNFP)




"1 out of 5 women will be a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime" (WHO 1997)




"More than 135 million girls and women have undergone female genital mutilation and an additional 2 million girls and women are at risk each year" (UN 2002)
