A little reset before the new year… — Listen. Listen to the Plic and the Ploc. The rain is falling from the sky on the leaves of the trees. Plic. Ploc. Falling from the clouds on the barks. Running down and through the earth, along the roots of underground life. Close your eyes and listen. Water is caressing…

And redefining yourself in the new world — The door opens on a black space to let the artist come into the light. As he passes from dark to light, the loud murmurs of human voices quickly quiet down. I can’t hear his fast-paced steps from my seat, but I can feel the hard wooden floor responding to…

An artist’s statement about peace building — Being born in Normandy, land of historic wars — Vikings’ invasion, religion wars and world wars to name a few — has left its mark on me. During the second world war, a great grandfather of mine who was a tailor got — expectedly — killed shortly after being sent…

What courage truly is. — Many times since I moved to the USA, I felt lost for words when trying to wish “Bon courage” to someone. “Bon courage” is a sweet way to say “stay strong, you’ll be fine” when a challenge or unpleasant moment is coming up. I used to say it a lot…

Life happens. Love, too. — “poom-poom-poom-poom-poom-poom” “po-poOm……po-poOm…….po-poOm…..” The doppler reveals the beats, drumming at 160–170 bpm. It’s the heartbeat of our baby, overlapping mine. We hear it for the very first time. It’s the most beautiful and miraculous music I’ve ever heard. I laugh. My shimmering belly makes the doppler sound loud, losing the heartbeats…

A secret gate to eternity? — “I don’t know if the audience hears the silence in the music between the notes. But I do.” In many ways, Maria Callas has been a strong model for me. This quote in particular comes from one of her interviews that I listened to years ago. I couldn’t find the…

War between robots and humans has already started, and it doesn’t look like what we feared, it’s worse… AI is taking over, but there’s hope. What now? — Lately, I’ve been more and more interested in artificial intelligence. One reason could be my recent involvement in an AI project. This experience made me realize that artificial intelligence is already everywhere. It’s just not as obvious as it is in the movies.
