Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
not to get lost... I'm a bit of an airhead when it comes to directions... :S
ABOUT ME
I'm currently lucky enough to live in a creative bubble where I'm completing my master degree thesis on epistemic imaginary through the symbolic structures of Gilbert Durand with a dash of Edgar Morin and Traian Stanciulescu. My main field of interest in symbolic anthropology and semiology. I love reading and learning about myths and folkloric stories from around the world.
I also double as a emerging visual artist with the support of a lot of people who believes in me and to who I'm grateful to... such as my loving parents, my awesome Nathy and my teachers who kept giving me jobs after jobs as adjunct researcher and assistant teacher at the university with the faculty of fine art for the last 4 years.
PHILOSOPHY
Life just happens... and most of the times it makes no sense but you just have to go with the flow. (paraphrasing Alexandro Jodorowsky)

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything by Hayao Miyazaki!!! is an anime masterpiece to me.
Slavoj Zizek: the most entertaining thinker... although not the most logical nor concise but I always finish his books with a big smile.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A little black dog, without an owner, in Thaïland comming out of nowhere to guide me and my friends through a forest and waiting for us every turn to make sure we were safe an that nobody gets left behind.
After the run that dog just dissapeared
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share things on epistemic Imaginary, mythology, symbolism a bit of lacanian and jungian psychoanalysis, Mircea Eliade's thinking on the cosmogony of society or Edgar Morin view of our systemic world...
Or just talking about ninjas and pirates or how I wished I made my own jetpack and go off to buy a remote Island where i'd be king and tax people with gummy bears and candy... mouhahahaaaahahha
Or a little bit of basic programming on open source multimedia plateforme such as processing, arduino or puredata... although I must admit my specialty, where I have been assistant teacher for the past 3 years, is "practical electronic" applied in visual art.
P.S: I'm a terrible cook and can't cook to save my life :( but I'm willing to share my Ramen Noodles rations :)
