The latest addition to Coca Cola product range, called Diet Coke Plus, is not just low on suger. It is fortified with vitamins and minerals to improve your health. Better than the real thing! Is Coca Cola, which was originally marketed as a health drink, finally returning to its roots? What is this thing with engineered food anyway? My guess is soon we will all be drinking Organic Coke.

Recently, I had some free time to return to my old passion of landscape painting. Not sure if my Bob Ross TV painting skills are just dusty... Things seemed to have changed in the wilderness.

For the next half year, I've traded biking in Amsterdam for driving in Los Angeles... and a residency at the Art Center College of Design. Spring 2008, Los Angeles will have its Biggest Visual Power Show. A call for proposals will be out soon.

The Fake FOR REAL Memory Game playfully visualises the clasical theme of fake and real. Is everything that was ounce directly experienced, in our media society replaced by simulation? Or are reproduction and imitation naturally part of life? Can you tell the fake from the real? Judge for yourself. Fake for Real!
