    Building EMOTITECH: From Alpine Stealth to a New Intelligence Layer for Human Emotion

    For more than two years, I have been quietly building EMOTITECH from the European Alps, inside NOI Techpark in South Tyrol, a crossroads of science, technology, and culture. We did this with continuous exchanges and trips to San Francisco, California and London. This journey began…

    Shadows of Ginger Stripes, My Encounter with the Feathered Dinosaur of China

    Walking through a quiet gallery in Beijing, I found myself drawn to a slab of stone that looked deceptively ordinary until the light caught the faint, dark fringed outline of a tail. Ghostly stripes shimmered under the glass. It was as if something small and…

  • From Cyberpunk to Blockchain

    Metro Urban Museum, Peeta
