Amanda Amanda said: " Calme et profond. J'abordais ce livre en m'attendant à une monographie d'art, mais j'y ai découvert une démarche plus introspective. Il mêle pensée visuelle et textuelle d'une manière qui invite à la patience et à l'attention. Toutes les œuvres ne m' ...more "

Erik Pevernagie
“Why may writing letters be so intriguing, defying, or challenging? Why can it be so painful or stressful sometimes? Letters can become mirrors of our human condition, reflecting on fragility, resilience, vulnerability, hope, and the misunderstandings in our life experiences. ("Letter to unknown recipient “)”
― Erik Pevernagie

Erik Pevernagie
“Every so often, we see many people feel uncomfortable with facing the truth. The truth seems to be a brittle deer. We should, however, not fear the fragility of truth, for it creates openness to correction, learning, and growth. It fosters empathy, making inquiry, curiosity, and wisdom possible. Truth becomes less about possession and more about pursuit. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“What do we actually expect of our data processor? As our computers acquire interactive interfaces, voices, and adaptive behavior, we may be tempted to invest emotion in them, but they offer only simulation, which breeds intense irritation. It is like trying to love a mirror that won't love back. ("My computer does not understand me")”
― Erik Pevernagie

Erik Pevernagie
“How come we think we are irrefutably right all the time? What makes us show off our rightness so often? If we agree that we don't just perceive the world, but we frame it, we must admit that errors and misunderstandings arise. Due to the differences in lived reality, we become more open to dialogue and are less addicted to carved certainty. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”
― Erik Pevernagie

Erik Pevernagie
“Let us not be trapped by wishful thinking. Just as the mouse is attracted by bait, we may often be drawn into traps by desire, illusion, or compulsion. Let us anticipate the hidden cost of temptation, the mental machinery of the consequences. ( ‘The Mousetrap and the Play of Power”)”
― Erik Pevernagie
