    Haarlem, Today: "The flapping of a butterfly's wings in Tokyo can cause a tornado in Texas."  In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.

    As part of Upcoming Film/Installation/Website "thing", this brass plate, excellently made especially for us by Dutch engraver Paul Hertog, was screwed in the brick wall. The poster was done with my two sons Jesse and Melle. The wooden mirror-frame comes from the awesome Vintage webshop from the Dutch recycling store Vindingrijk. The toy gun was found in a pile of garbage. Colors with spraypaint from Henx.

    The Installation wil be accompanied by a wesbsite with a live video and audio stream and webshop. All hosted by -- as is this website -- Zebra Hosting in Amsterdam.
