Artist Profile: Genevieve Belleveau – “I live for that ecstatic bliss of being that we can achieve if we open our hearts to really loving ourselves and sharing that self-love with one another. I don’t think that selfies solve the problem, but I think they can be a step towards self-acceptance that can be further explored as we inevitably thrust onwards in this vision of the future.”

Tracking and combatting our current mass extinction – “based on the current rate at which animals are vanishing for good, we’re currently in the midst of another mass extinction, this one driven by a single species: humans. (And many of the extinctions occurred before we started getting serious about messing with the climate.)”

Yony Leyser’s New Film Is a Time Capsule of Berlin’s Underground – “Yony Leyser’s new film Desire Will Set You Free is a fictional, albeit pretty realistic, time capsule of Berlin’s current underground scene. While his last highly acclaimed movie William S. Burroughs – The Man Within stayed inside the boundaries of a classic documentary, Desire Will Set You Free transcends genres, blending documentary with fiction.”

Hacker Paradise – a programming retreat in Costa Rica. – “Hacker Paradise is a programming retreat in the beautiful country of Costa Rica, inspired by Hacker School. Our HQ is El Sueno Tropical, a boutique hotel located on the edge of the jungle in the coastal town of Playa Carrillo.”

Taking Stock of a France that Has Fallen Sick – “The TV images of the Tour de France show an idyllic country, but behind the gloss is a nation where fears of decline are prompting people to vote for the far right. A trip along the route of the world’s most famous cycling race reveals the deep uncertainty ailing the French.”
