Hi,<br />
The door bell rang and there she stood. Zinetta had invited me for a game of good<br />
old fashioned tennis. As she was already dressed for the occasion, I had to do my<br />
very best to keep focused on her eyes. “Hi, how are you, give me a hug” she said,<br />
“are you all set for the clash of the titans” I couldn’t help smiling at that remark, as<br />
she probably was thinking of other titans than I was… But a tough struggle it would<br />
surely be, as Zinetta used to be a top rank player a few years ago.<br />
Anyway, spring had just begun and it was as if someone had pulled a switch that<br />
triggered the most beautiful sunshine and the sound of birds happily chirping in the<br />
air. As we came outside, there stood a brand new convertible sports car. “I got to lend<br />
this car from a friend who owns a garage”, she shouted as we were driving open top<br />
to the tennis court. “Asked me to give this new model a test drive”. Before I could even<br />
wonder who this new friend could be, I just replied “Don’t you think it still is a little too<br />
chilly to drive with the roof down” She didn’t say anything, presented one of her big<br />
smiles and gave the accelerator an extra push.<br />
Set one, 3-0 in no time. “Come on boy, still asleep, do you need a break” She was right,<br />
I definitely needed to improve my game if I didn’t want to leave the court like a fool…<br />
I forced through a 3-3 and was gaining field as my backhand had started improving.<br />
“Time to play on!” I replied “we don’t want to get chilly, do we” … Damn Francis<br />
again. I decided not to loose my concentration.<br />
1.5 hours of play later. 1-1, and a tie break in the third set. Zinetta to serve. As in a<br />
slo-mo, I saw her throw the ball up and hit it… I simultaneously heard a dry snap…<br />
Seconds later the most beautiful girl I knew was lying face down. “Oh no, not this,”<br />
she whispered painfully” I must have sprained my ankle. And I was sure to win this<br />
one”… Zinetta and her ever lasting urge to be the best…<br />
Twenty seconds later I was back with a bag full of ice cubes. “Here, put this on your<br />
ankle, and I’ll drive you home” I carefully carried her to the shiney convertible.<br />
Upon placing her in the passenger seat she looked at me and asked: “Would you<br />
mind me staying over a couple of days, please You can use the car if you want to,<br />
and I promise to be a quiet patient”.<br />
As I turned the key and felt the pure power of the car, I saw some guys from the tennis<br />
club in the rear view mirror. I guess they would have given a fortune to be Zinetta’s<br />
male nurse instead of me. “Sorry chaps”, I springfully thought, “game, set and match!!”<br />
Time for a break. “Oh, I was really in for some calorie burning” she mentioned while<br />
sipping her sports drink,” ‘cause Francis cooked me a wonderful meal last night and<br />
even made the most delicious mouth-watering chocolate croquettes ever! He really<br />
knows a girl’s weakest point”….<br />

Eleven Questions ...<br />

“Actually, I didn’t want to cross anything out because I’m an advocate of all these things. Everything suits me!”<br />
2 // Do you perform any rituals before you go on stage<br />
“I prefer to be alone for about 15 minutes just before I go on stage. Then I dance or do some gymnastic<br />
exercises. If I could do ballet, I’d do that. And an orange vodka sometimes works minor miracles.”<br />
3 // J’aime Paris. I suppose that you do as well, or at least that you know the city rather<br />
well. Have you found any new places to eat at lunchtime<br />
“It would be difficult to find somewhere new… but I find the food at ‘Café Flor’ very good. The interior<br />
is very French, I mean the Paris that we know from movies. Stiffly ironed tablecloths, mirrors on the<br />
wall, waiters in white aprons, etc. I love it. Plain and tasty!”<br />
4 // Which song (not one of your own) is guaranteed to make you dance, even at the dullest party<br />
“‘Lust for life’ by Iggy Pop.”<br />
5 // How would you personally describe the people who like your music<br />
“That’s a difficult question. I don’t know exactly who our fans are. That <strong>may</strong> sound strange, but I don’t<br />
have an overview. I think our fans are quite a mixture and include people from all levels of society and<br />
age groups. That’s how it should be. Not just one type of people.”<br />
6 // Your latest album is described as being your most adult album so far. Ugh, you aren’t<br />
going to grow up into adults, are you<br />
“I don’t think that’s the idea. We’ll never be adults. The youthfulness or merriment will always be there.<br />
We are getting a greater sense of responsibility and are learning in every area. That is linked to<br />
becoming adults, and that’s why we’re not there yet. At least, we’ve not yet lost our youthful spirit!”<br />
7 // Do the members of VLF take part in any sports<br />
“Running, swimming, and especially, performing!! That’s sometimes the toughest sport.”<br />
8 // The songs on ‘Nuit Blanche’ make people want to dance and have a wild party. That’s<br />
not so unusual, though I leave the dancing to my wife. But actually I always have to smile<br />
when I hear your records. Is it just me, or have you consciously chosen to make such a<br />
happy and humorous album<br />
“It sounds happy, but there is a snag. The lyrics <strong>may</strong> be plain and simple, but they are serious.<br />
Sometimes slightly more than others. Yet it is still an album with a tone of optimism! These days, I think<br />
we need that.”<br />
9 // When you stand on the stage, what do you think about<br />
“All sorts of things pass through my mind, but in fact I concentrate mainly on performing. The song,<br />
my movements, the expression, my feelings at that time, the lighting, the sound, the musicians, Danny,<br />
the whole saga. I always want to make every effort. To put on the best concert ever, again and again.”<br />
10 // ‘Laisse-moi t’ambeter...’ Super lyrics and once again a sentence that makes me smile,<br />
from Noir Désir. How or by what means can I do that to you<br />
“In fact, it’s ‘tempêter’, which means to rage, but your suggestion would also have fitted. I won’t say<br />
how you can do that to me, because then everyone will start doing it and that’s definitely something I<br />
want to avoid!”<br />
11 // Who looks after all your animals when you are on tour<br />
“‘Bas’, our dog, goes to my parents in Marke every time. It’s his country house where he’s cared for<br />
very well. Even spoiled! ‘Ruby’, our pony, has been stationed at our friends’ paddock together with a<br />
mare of 27 for one year. It’s a great arrangement. As for the other animals, they stay at home to keep<br />
an eye on the place. Good friends of ours come to look after them. So far, it’s all worked out<br />
fantastically!”<br />
“Hopefully, these answers will be good enough. In any case, many thanks.<br />
Best wishes, Els”<br />

Vive La Fête is Belgium’s most controversial musical group with ‘full-time rock star’<br />
Danny Mommens and ‘fashion queen’ Els Pynoo. Their latest CD is richer than ever<br />
in catchy party numbers which look back to the 1980s, the French Nouvelle Vague,<br />
electro beats and Rock & Roll, Karl Lagerfield and sexiness.<br />
Nuit Blanche. This is a French expression which means a sleepless night, but don’t think<br />
of the kind of sleepless nights that you definitely don’t want to experience again (the type<br />
with a heavy stomach, a hotel room full of mosquitoes or extremely noisy neighbours who<br />
are giving a wild party to which you are not invited.) No! Anyone who has heard Vive La<br />
Fête’s great dancing music, seen Els Pynoo’s fetching look and experienced the trendy<br />
aura which surrounds the group will undoubtedly imagine a much wilder night. Their latest<br />
album will definitely provide the ideal impulse for a ‘Nuit Blanche’.<br />

This is chapter one of the Modular Recessed Saga. Please discover for yourself just how easy and<br />
practical it is to install our recessed fittings! On the pictures, we show you how to install our new Thub<br />
range step by step. Exactly the same steps can also be followed for our new Downut recessed downlighter.<br />
Come back for more in Zinetta's next Product Special as we bring you more exiting recessed stories!<br />
Thub ceiling mounting instructions:<br />
1) Remove the polycarbonate shell by pressing the small lever.<br />
*For Thub 2 only: remove metal enforcement bars from Thub’s mounting ring as shown<br />
2) Unscrew the two wing nuts and remove the gear plate.<br />
3) Loosen the screws holding the side clamps partially, and remove the clamps.<br />
4) Insert the Thub’s mounting ring into the ceiling and place the clamps back into their original position making<br />
sure they are resting onto the ceiling. Tighten the screws making sure the clamps are fixed tightly to the Thub.<br />
5) Secure the clamps through the ceiling using screws corresponding with the ceiling’s thickness.<br />
6) By loosening the clamp screws slightly, adjust mounting ring’s height so that its bottom edge levels with<br />
the (future) ceiling. Tighten upon reaching the desired position.<br />
7) If necessary, plaster the mounting ring so that it levels with the ceiling.<br />
8) Connect the power cord(s) to the connector(s) provided. Plug the connector(s) into the Thub.<br />
9) Re-install the gear plate and secure by using the two wing nuts.<br />
10) Install lamp(s) in accordance with the type and power rating of the appliance.<br />
11) Re-install polycarbonate shell into Thub making sure the small lever clicks over the shell.<br />
Watch out: for Thub types not using ARIII light sources it is possible to install the polycarbonate shell going<br />
into the ceiling or coming out of the ceiling. As described above, one only needs to press the small lever<br />
to be able to take the shell out of the appliance.<br />
Connectors: black connector is to be used with HMG light sources, white connector for FSQ or FSD<br />
light sources.<br />
Same installment procedure for Downut light fitting!!<br />

Angelo & Angelino<br />
06_<br />
hot studs on high wheels<br />
by Angelo & Angelino<br />
What is there to say Mr. Modular kept his promise and he gave us the right job. We were both<br />
made fleet manager of the Modular automobiles. A job we could only dream of...Imagine, polishing<br />
the paintwork on all the cars here, or even choosing the right rubber tires for our Marketing<br />
Manager. It took us four days of heavy research to know that the Pirelli P1 series would do best<br />
on his car. We also changed his gear shifter to a chrome polished one.<br />
Anyway, we needed some fieldwork to do our job right, so we decided to check out the auto-tuning<br />
fair a little while ago. This was one of the cool things we normally do on our weekends, but now<br />
we could do this during our working-hours and even being paid for. We decided to make a<br />
proposition to Mr. Modular to change some of all the black cars for some nicer ones. He did NOT<br />
like our proposals, but he promised once again, if we put big efforts in our job, we could buy a car<br />
that we really liked.<br />
To cheer us a little bit up, he said he would fix a diner at the Ralley-club in the one and only rallytown<br />
Belgium is rich, Ieper. When Angelino said (Angelino always has a straight mouth) that we<br />
had no transport to arrive in Ieper, Mr. Modular smiled at us and promised us that he would hire<br />
some motorbikes for us. This had to be cool. Immediately we were dreaming of high speed,<br />
wheelies, stoppies, burn-outs and klaversheet-racing. We were so nervous that day that we could<br />
not work any more, so we hided ourself in the basement to look the rest of the day in some motor<br />
magazines. It was only Miguel who caught us not being busy with our job. It soon appeared that<br />
Miguel is a cool guy. Just like us, he likes tuned cars, beer and cigarettes. After a few cigarettes,<br />
and some car-talk we wanted some beer to celebrate our new friendship. But it was only 3.P.M.<br />
so normally we had to maintenance some cars; so all had to be done very secretly. But Miguel<br />
was our guy. He is the son of the concierge here at Modular, so he could easily slip in some beer<br />
without anybody noticing. Off course we discussed our motorbike trip we were planning to do to Ieper.<br />
The next morning a camionette full of motorbikes where delivered here at Modular for us. After<br />
seeing the little bikes, we first thought this had to be a joke, but we soon saw that this was big fun.<br />
These pocket bikes would not stop us from going to Ieper. We invited Miguel to come along since<br />
he was only smoking some cigarettes on the parking lot.<br />
We soon learned why the pocket bikes always come by camionette. They break very easy and<br />
need to be replaced very often. Off course, like all good pilots we broke some parts, but the<br />
technical assistance team gave us a real support. It was like we had our own motorbike team<br />
following us for technical back-up and maintenance. Angelo broke two bikes, one at high speed<br />
and one at even a higher speed. Miguel lost his carburettor and Angelino did not break anything<br />
but he did manage to do some very nice knee-sliding tricks.<br />
Anyway, after some beers in café ‘casino’ in Langemark we continued our trip. Everybody saw us<br />
coming, since these bikes make a lot of noise, but that was cool. When we arrived at the Ralley<br />
in Ieper we sealed our trip with some beers. Our training-suit smelled a bit like oil and burned<br />
nafta, but that was cool too, because this is how real guys should smell like. Angelino and Miguel<br />
ate some grilled cow-meat with bones, while Angelo’s meat was smashed. A real delicatesse, just<br />
like the whole trip that day.<br />
Our dreamcar.<br />

BATIBOUW <strong>2003</strong><br />

BATIBOUW <strong>2003</strong><br />
At Batibouw <strong>2003</strong>, Modular presented the Gino Vaselli team. Since the beginning of this year, modular is<br />
the main sponsor of a team that is completely built up around this young upcoming talent in cycling. That’s<br />
where Modular got his inspiration from for this year’s stand for Batibouw, the main building fair in Belgium.<br />
You can see it as an early tribute to this Italian cyclist: a replica of a cycling track, his personal power drink,<br />
grandstands for his cheering fans, … even the typical sound speakers. It goes without saying that Gino felt<br />
right at home, when he paid a quick visit to the stand for an autograph session. That’s when he promised<br />
to give his best to bring back the yellow jersey from this year’s Tour de France… With Modular as his<br />
guiding light, this might become reality.<br />
The Centre Tour of Flanders<br />
The start, the track, the hills, the cobblestones, heroes and heroism, joy and misery, nutrition and tactics,<br />
the weather, press and media, the finish… This is what the Tour of Flanders is all about. The 27th of<br />
February the city of Oudenaarde opened a centre about this cycling classic. It is not to be regarded as a<br />
museum, but more as a centre about the perceptions surrounding this mythical race. It is a must for every<br />
cycling fan to pay a visit to this centre… and for those who are not, there is always the architecture an the<br />
lighting, since Modular is one of the partners of this centre. More images on Recent Projects page 9.<br />

Looking for Motivated People<br />

re-enactment<br />
by Peter<br />
THE WYCHWOOD WARRIORS<br />
Motivated People is a homage to all those who do with passion what ‘s been called ‘hobby’ by most of us.<br />
Usually these people are lone wolfs, working in isolated places, offering hundreds of hours to their<br />
beloved occupation. But rarely they unite themselfs and share their joy and common interest. In this<br />
case it seems as though for the Wychwood Warriors the Dark Ages have never ended. The<br />
Wychwood Warriors is an Oxford University student society dedicated to Dark Age re-enactment.<br />
They recreat aspects of Saxon, Viking and Celtic life in early medieval England. During the summer<br />
they join up with other re-enactors from all over the country to demonstrate life as it was in the dark<br />
ages. One such an occasion is the annual History in Action festival at Kirby Hall. The largest event of<br />
re-enactment in England. With well over two thousand performers illustrating the way of life and<br />
warfare throughout history. And while the heroes encounter in battle, the rest display their crafts in reenactor’s<br />
tents. In order to maintain their skills there’s an weekly battle practice on sunday. The<br />
Wychwood can be hired for film work which is well established practice in Britain.<br />

LAMBORGHINI REPLICA BUILDERS<br />
What if you want something that you know you simply can’t get. In ancient Greek mythology<br />
Pygmalion sculpted his ideal woman. When his sculpture was finally ready, the poor man fell in love<br />
with it. But the gods, in pitty over his situation, gave life to Pygmalion’s creation. And the two probably<br />
lived happely ever after.<br />
...<br />
Suppose you want a lamborghini ... . Everybody knows that gods have never been very favourable over<br />
people who seek luxury. So these folks, usually men, turn to Pygmalion’s approche; build it yourself!<br />
Maybe such men give in to an escalated boysdream but some actually do succeed in achieving this goal.<br />
One fellow managed to publishe a manual guide on how to scratch build a diablo with fifteen dollars a day.<br />
This collective of motivated men join on the web displaying pictures about the progress stage of their car.<br />

off the asparagus tips. Cook the tips “al dente” in salted water and set aside. Cut the rest of<br />
the asparagus into pieces of approximately 1 centimetre in length and cook them together with<br />
the milk, the cream, half the sugar and the butter. When done, mix this and pass it through a<br />
fine sieve. Beat the egg yolks with the other half of the sugar and add the low-fat milk powder.<br />
Pour the milk over the mixture and heat to 85°C.<br />
Finally, mix it again and leave it to cool in the refrigerator, preferably overnight. Then turn it into<br />
ice cream in the ice-cream maker.<br />
In the meanwhile, skin the tomatoes by plunging them for a few seconds in boiling water. Cut<br />
in quarters and remove the seeds.<br />
Arrange them in an oven dish round side up, sprinkle with some sugar, pepper and salt, and<br />
let them dry out for 1 hour in a 100°C oven.<br />
Oil 4 round oven dishes (of approximately 8 cm) with some olive oil and add the tomatoes, this<br />
time with the round side down. Place them in a 180°C oven for about 10 minutes. In the<br />
meanwhile cut out of the puff pastry 4 circles one size larger than the moulds. Prick them with<br />
a fork and lay them on the tomatoes. Bake again for about 15 minutes at 180°C.<br />
Plunge the lobsters in boiling water for 1 minute. Then remove the shell, break the claws and<br />
extract all the meat. Fry the meat briefly in a non-stick pan and season with salt and pepper.<br />
Mix the herb salad with the asparagus tips and season with some good olive oil and balsamic<br />
vinegar. Place a still-warm tomato pie on a plate, pastry side down. Place a quenelle of<br />
asparagus ice cream on top. Next to it, arrange some herb salad with the fried lobster on top.<br />
Drizzle some olive oil around the plate to finish.<br />
Melt the butter in a pan and add the rice semolina and the cacao.<br />
Allow this to dry out a moment over the heat and then add the cold milk.<br />
Bring this to a boil and beat firmly until you have a homogeneous mass.<br />
Add the gelatine that has been soaked in cold water, mix this into the dough and allow it to<br />
simmer for about 2 minutes. Beat the egg yolk in the cream and add this mixture too.<br />
Finally add the chocolate which has been cut into small pieces. This will melt in the warm<br />
dough by itself.<br />
When everything has cooled, make long dough sausages on baking paper using a piping<br />
bag. They will need to firm up in the refrigerator for about 6 hours.<br />
In the meanwhile, make the pistachio sauce. Chop the fresh pistachios finely in the food<br />
processor with half of the sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil together with the milk. Pour this<br />
over the egg yolks which have been beaten together with the other half of the sugar. Heat to<br />
85°C and then mix it, pass it through a fine sieve and allow it to cool.<br />
Cut the dough into 4 cm-long pieces. To coat them, first dip them in beaten egg whites, then<br />
in roughly chopped hazelnuts and finally in breadcrumbs.<br />
Place the croquettes in the refrigerator for at least one more hour to firm up and then deepfry<br />
them in oil at 170°C for approximately one minute.<br />
Place three croquettes on a plate. Pour the pistachio sauce around them and sprinkle with<br />
some roasted and chopped pistachios.<br />

What is art Why do people create art What is the artist's role in a society What is the<br />
role of a museum What is the role of the spectator Is art accessible to all Should art<br />
be accessible to all What makes art good Is everyone an artist Nowadays, is<br />
everything art<br />
For several centuries, people have studied art and in particular the free arts such as painting,<br />
sculpture, graphics, photography and later the audiovisual and three-dimensional art forms<br />
and have tried to come up with a worthy definition for it.<br />
By the 19th Century, when the free arts started to search very hard for a proper language and<br />
a proper world with laws that didn't obey the regular language and world, the definition of art<br />
changed constantly. In the quest for a new reality, nothing is certain anymore and it is therefore<br />
normal for the above questions to arise. The answer will eventually lead towards the soughtafter<br />
new world.<br />
But is it possible to give an answer<br />
Most theorists and artists that deal with these questions, think it impossible to find a<br />
conclusive answer and will go so far as to say the only answer is to collect all possible<br />
reactions to these questions. In other words, there is no conclusive answer. Nevertheless,<br />
these are the people who, in philosophical, vague, mysterious, radical, contradictory and<br />
complex works, try to find a conclusive answer on the one hand, while on the other claim a<br />
good work of art needs no explanation as it speaks for itself.<br />
If the work really does speak for itself, why can't it give the answer Why then, would there still<br />
be the need to speak for it If one continues to look for the answer despite claiming it does<br />
not exist, does that not mean we already know the answer to all these questions<br />
Couldn't it be that during its quest for autonomy, the free arts realised it would be impossible to<br />
attain it CouldnÕt it be that the artists, during their protracted struggle for autonomy, and<br />
especially the institutions which would profit from this autonomy were unable or refused to see<br />
the recurring definition for art<br />
Couldn't it be that this recurring definition is as follows:<br />
'Art is no more and no less than a tool, a language no different from everyday<br />
conversation used by a person to convey his thoughts and emotions to another person.<br />
Art is the creator's invitation to the spectator, requesting to start a dialogue.'<br />
Y.I.R.M.'s principal goals are:<br />
1. Offer art directly and free of charge to anyone on the road, regardless of age, origin or sex.<br />
2. Create a podium for young, undiscovered and talented artists that have just graduated or are still in school.<br />
3. Offer the possibility of gaining the experience of an exhibition.<br />
4. Enhance the dialogue between spectators and people from different artistic fields.<br />
5. Give a sampling of the variation in young art. It is Y.I.R.M.'s intention to offer a wide range of<br />
styles and artistic expressions. Any classic, contemporary or directed work of art will be on<br />
exhibit, as long as its form and/or content is of superior quality.<br />
The Young Independent Road Museum is a personal initiative of young artist Vladimir Ivaneanu.<br />

pills & thrills<br />
by Toon Stockman<br />
Dear Reader,<br />
Modular keeps a constant eye on what’s happening in the world around us, not just only on<br />
developments in our domain. What’s more, this way of observing evolutions of all kinds has<br />
found a scientific footing in the recent years, known as trend watching. In this column we aim<br />
to reveal the world of wonder this opens up to us.<br />
What kind of sport is your metaphore<br />
Televised sports as such and sportive events are often metaphores for everyday situations, conflicts<br />
or problems. In a recently finished study, 55% of respondents claimed they could cope better with<br />
personal problems by relating to their favourite team’s victories and finding energy in them.<br />
Obviously sports in general and athletics specifically are a bit different… but they have one key<br />
<strong>issue</strong> in common. Darts, snooker , even video games are all sport, but they hardly are the pure<br />
fusion of body, mind and spirit compared to running a marathon or even playing eighteen holes of<br />
golf. But what hardcore athletics and sport have in common is that they represent the “great test.”<br />
Can you become a champion Are you willing to do what it takes to test your limits Do you learn<br />
from your mistakes Are you “coachable” Are you willing to sacrifice These are questions that<br />
only you can answer for yourself. Sports and athletics seem to me to be the best place to find the<br />
right questions to ask yourself. Likewise, some people’s personal therapy is comparing themselves<br />
to their favourite athlete and finding strength in his/her results.<br />
Sports/athletics like all <strong>issue</strong>s in life are never immune from the general condition of the time we<br />
live in. As the information age has made our lives more and more complex, sports have also moved<br />
away from traditional reason and have begun to organize around “complexity”, be it in the negative<br />
or positive sence. Think about how Manchester United now also has teams in other cities than<br />
Manchester… as well as in Manchester. Running a marathon is no longer sufficient, cycling 180<br />
km and swimming 5 km haven been added to make the event even more heroic.<br />
As the information society moves along, popular sports will reflect a great amount of paradox… just<br />
like the rest of the world. Did you know that SkyTV paid more for the rights to broadcast the premier<br />
soccer league than it would have cost to buy all the teams in the league Or how about this… the<br />
national sport of Canada is hockey but in future they <strong>may</strong> not be able to keep a professional hockey<br />
team in the country besides Toronto and Montreal…<br />
But the paradox or the unusual also becomes mainstream after a while. Extreme sports like<br />
snowboarding have gone from the edge to mainstream so that they are Olympic favorites. So what<br />
is “over” the horizon How about death in contact sports, competitive fishing and kickboxing<br />
ballets Would you find this acceptable Don’t jump to conclusions too fast. Just remember that<br />
if you would have been told five years ago, that a popular television show in the future would be a<br />
televised effort to tear young couples apart on a tropical island, I’m sure you would have found the<br />
idea revolting and inhumane. Nowadays, Temptation Island ® have tens of millions of entousiast<br />
spectators world wide…<br />
Allow your brain to digest these guesstimates… Zinetta shall be back for more in the next<br />
<strong>issue</strong>. Sources: www.firstmatter.com / www.fox.com/temptation2<br />
Sport in the not so near future<br />
Well now let’s see... I wrote about tennis in this column in the previous <strong>issue</strong>, so it doesn’t seem<br />
opportune to write about the same sport again. Apparently, my See-The-Future pills are very effective,<br />
for I was three months ahead of my time with my tennis feature, something not so abnormal as the<br />
futurastica man. (... Or <strong>may</strong>be they don’t work well at all, for if they had worked well, then I would have<br />
been better advised to keep the tennis feature for this <strong>issue</strong>. It depends how you look at it.)<br />
Yet what difference does it make One day in the not so near future, there will be more pills and healing<br />
processes available than is good for you. Yesterday, in preparing this article, I gulped down a parachute<br />
jumping pill so that I can give you an honest report on how these new sports pills work. There were also<br />
horse riding pills available, but seeing that I once somersaulted off my horse inelegantly during a real<br />
horse riding session a long time ago, I have something of a mental horse riding trauma. Of course, there<br />
are a dozen anti-trauma pills on the market, but their effects when used together with any sports pills<br />
have only been tested on virtual apes, so it seems best to give the horse riding pills a miss.<br />
Sports pills work in two ways. Mentally and physically. Imagine you’ve taken a running pill (in my opinion,<br />
nothing could be more boring). After the pill has taken effect, you wake up all sweaty. Mentally, it is like<br />
a pre-programmed brain trip. In turn, it is like a strongly pre-determined hallucinatory drugs trip,<br />
consisting naturally of dream images emerging from your memory. In this case, someone who has never<br />
run a race or has never seen anyone else running will not be affected, but the likelihood is great that you<br />
can recall these activities. The physical aspect is much easier, because it analogously stimulates the<br />
muscles used. It is also advisable, as with any sport, to drink plenty of water. As regards the parachuting<br />
pill, I can be short and to the point. Apparently, my experiences and recollections of this sport are<br />
insufficient and I got no further than pulling the light switch cord over my bed.<br />
Now that we are on the subject of pills, let me say that online medicine will do an excellent business in<br />
this not-so-near future. This is also logical, because thanks to the Deep Brain Stimulation Centre<br />
alongside our brains, our bodies’ bio-chemical processes can be expertly controlled. Just as we make a<br />
virtual visit to an online hospital with our PC (which, as has been dealt with in Zinetta 4, is still built in<br />
behind our right ear; and the required chemical substances are prescribed for us by the doctor on duty.<br />
These prescriptions are interpreted by our Deep Brain Stimulation Centre, which then gives impulses to<br />
our brains so that the brain lets the body do what is expected of it: producing substances, such as<br />
Cortisol or Melatonin, or other hormones, which can start the healing process. Cortisol is an outstanding<br />
example of this, a stress hormone which is produced by the brain during illness and has a positive<br />
influence on the healing process. This is because illness is stressful for our bodies, and so a solid dose<br />
of Cortisol is good for us. Likewise, fresh Melatonin can be produced to help patients with sleep<br />
disorders. However, this healing method raises a new problem: viruses. This is the first time that our<br />
bodies can be infected with an electronic computer virus, and all that remains is for us to answer the<br />
question: has your doctor become your programmer, or has your programmer become your doctor The<br />
only disadvantage of the above is that it only relates to the natural substances which are produced by<br />
our bodies, but that’s quite a few, and therefore enough to survive many everyday complaints and<br />
imperfections. Stronger medication will still be administered in the same way as it is now: with masses<br />
of pills, serum, surgical operations, and good-looking nurses giving plenty of TLC.<br />

THE HUMAN ***** THING<br />
***** ***** *****<br />
100TH WINDOW<br />
DEHLI 9<br />
THERE IS ONLY ONE<br />
Das Pops’ debut album ‘I Love’ was a beautiful<br />
journey through poppy, glittery wonderland. A<br />
candy that generally seemed to have appealed to<br />
young girls. Their second album ‘The Human<br />
Thing’ however moves on to a more personal<br />
approach of lyrics and instruments. The<br />
electronics are on the leash which is a good thing<br />
for the guitars. Overall this record features more<br />
balls than its predecessor, hopefully they add<br />
some pubic hair to it with their next album.<br />
Review: Peter Willems<br />
(CD)<br />
www.daspop.com<br />
The Massive Attack collective has changed<br />
considerably since their debut in 1991. And after<br />
reading many reviews it seems like lots of<br />
reviewers and musicians like to hang on to the<br />
old days. Admitted; the sound has changed but<br />
the mood remains what it was. 3D is the only<br />
remaining member of the band and he made a<br />
record that should be listened to with the<br />
headphones on. 100th Window is without any<br />
doubt a masterpiece.<br />
Review: Peter Willems<br />
(CD & LP)<br />
www.massiveattack.com<br />
It’s been a while since their previous release<br />
‘Suzuki’ and with ‘Dehli 9’ Dorfmeister and Huber<br />
surprise once more. This record seems more<br />
traditional because of the individual moods of the<br />
songs enhanced by the vocal contributions.<br />
Although the familiar, chilling up and downtempo<br />
beats are still very recognisable, this album feels<br />
warmer and more stripped than former Tosca<br />
albums. The bonus cd contains Huber’s 12<br />
piano sessions supported by Dorfmeister’s<br />
minimal dub effects.<br />
Review: Peter Willems<br />
(2xCD / 4xLP)<br />
www.g-stoned.com<br />
Inspired by many cultures, instruments and<br />
moods his latest release is a pure diamond.<br />
Jovica Storer gives us enough to stop thinking<br />
and to start feeling instead. He is not creating<br />
music but the music comes through him. The<br />
high variation of sounds and a unique blend of<br />
instruments is a delight to the ear and pulls many<br />
tracks to a higher level. If you are sensible for<br />
some of the best electronic soundscapes you<br />
should join this ambient trip rather quickly.<br />

For the 20th anniversary of the 1982 classic Tron, the production<br />
company released a collector ‘s <strong>edition</strong>. The movie wasn’t a succes<br />
back in it’s days mainly because it was a unique project technically<br />
aswell storywise. People weren’t ready for it. Even the actors often<br />
didn’t know what it was all about. Tron was the first real movie showing<br />
actors in computer generated backgrounds. Visually Tron is a mixture<br />
of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and early eighties computer graphics. The<br />
story is peripheral to the visual experience and Buena Vista knows. The<br />
box contains two discs of which one loaded with interesting extras;<br />
storyboards, picture galleries of Moebius costume designs, the making<br />
of Tron, interviews, trailers, etc. A collector’s item.<br />

This book is actually a design magazine with a very experimental<br />
approach towards design. It’s like cross-over between graphic<br />
design and art exploring various possibilities of graphics,<br />
typography and photography. The logbook of this exp<strong>edition</strong> is<br />
“Action” with numerous surprising insights into the mechanism of a<br />
fast and faster moving world, constantly changing in the force field<br />
between action, responsibility, cause and effect. Another one to hit<br />

SHUTTLEBIKE<br />
SBK Engineering's shuttlebike is a flotation, frame<br />
and propulsion/rudder package and a simple way<br />
to convert many kinds of bicycles into a waterbike.<br />
The whole kit fits into the included backpack. The<br />
ultimate goal of this project was to create an<br />
inflatable "bicycle boat"-or a "shuttle"- that would be<br />
easy to carry and allow a bicyclist the opportunity to<br />
ride across the water as well as on land.<br />
The most innovative aspect of the shuttlebike is it's<br />
portability. Still, it takes up to nine minutes to<br />
convert your bike into a watercraft vehicle.<br />

The Gizmo electric car caught our attention<br />
because its design resembles the classic<br />
Messerschmitt KR200 of 1958. Vehicles such as<br />
this car are threewheelers and don’t have steering<br />
wheels. The Gizmo can accelerate up to 40mph<br />
and has a range of 45 miles per trip. It’s very<br />
economical because of its electrical engine but<br />
this cars storage capacity equals that of a<br />

France personnel who were flying on the Central Africa route. It was Charlotte Periand who designed<br />
the interiors, and being constructed in the ateliers of Jean Prouvé, it is obvious that these designs still<br />
stand out, with a smooth simplicity in design, but never boring or too minimalist.<br />

PARIS<br />
St-Germain des-prés, Paris<br />
6th arrondissement, 75006<br />
This area in Paris is fully stuffed with art-galleries. Most of them are promoting non-talented artist, best<br />
to be compared with the level of art you would see if you visit your local art-school during a Saturdaymorning-class-for-beginners.<br />
Luckily some art galleries take their job still very seriously, so we have picked a few for you. (And off<br />
course we will continue our search) Like any gallery, they often change their collection, so probably<br />
some collections will have been replaced, but no worry, like said, they do take their job seriously so<br />
you can expect nice works of art at any time.<br />

Matthew Barneys Cremaster Cycles<br />
We saw Matthew Barneys Cremaster Cycles at the Museum of Modern art in Paris a few months ago,<br />
and luckily for those who missed it, the Cremaster series, are now entirely on show at the Manhattan<br />
Guggenheim. Be sure not to visit the Cremaster Cycles in a hurry, cause the objects and even more<br />
the epic film cycles, can draw your attention for a few hours. The weirdness in his work looks so<br />
finished, so complete, so perfectly orchestred, and above all, never overdone, that even the sickest<br />
weirdness becomes very normal. Let’s say his Cremaster universe is… perplexing!<br />
