Edith DekyndtAcousticians from the Polytechnic Faculty of Mons measured the precise resonant frequency of crystal glasses. They were reproduced by a frequency generator and played through a loudspeaker in the presence of each of the glasses.

ADIEU TRISTESSE
Robert CashOn the face of it Adieu Tristesse is a black comedy which takes as its subject the act of ’sawing-the-lady-in-half’.

LOOKING FORWARD, FRAGMENTING THE EDGES OF LOVE
Geoffroy De VolderThe screen was evenly divided over four frames on which fragments of wildlife documentaries, film classics and interviews with the makers and other artists are shown for the period of one hour, alternating with each other. Apart from a couple of formal similarities this hybrid conglomerate of found footage seems to show little coherence on the face of it...
COME TI AMO
