I’m actually not surprised the US election turned into such a tight race. Actually, just the fact that the current President would even have a chance to win again - after all of the scandals and tweets and political horror of the last four years, that very fact is not surprising at all… Why? Because there is one thing he knows very well and most people don’t…

Thanks for tuning in,

Recording from the live mix broadcasted on 23/04/20 on www.cosmic.show I interviewed Leon Seesix aka Dotmasters about his approach to the artistic practice, the meaning of his 20+ years in the field and the do’s and don’ts of artistic collaboration.

This episode contains explicit language, and very strong insights.

Our relationship to the present moment has been broadly dying across western culture for decades now, because of the narratives, the structures, the systems that make it so “time is money”, the narratives that make it so we don’t have the time, and so we listen to podcasts in 2X.

Thank you for tuning in, Camille.

“I have been listening to podcasts for close to a decade now and cosmic is the first one that I'm listening to at 1x. I know it doesn't seem like much but this is the first show to prompt me to take my time. To go slow. To relax and still move with conviction that change can be brought”.

This episode is a tribute to taking the time.

stay tuned, Camille

Today I am offering a few thoughts about tweeting, commenting, debating on corporate green washing announcements vs. not spending any time on this, regardless of that burning feeling inside. Let’s do a post-benefits analysis, Shall we?

It happened after a long day. It was like...11pm,  I was tired, laying down on my sofa, ready to go to bed. Checking in messages and stuff on my smartphone. And for whatever reason, I mechanically opened Linkedin and started browsing publications, which I very rarely do… even in the daytime. Scrolling down a couple of times. And here it was, the perfect trap, in my feed. Of course, I fell into it…

This episode features the work of Stefan Kuhnigk @thecoffeemonsters. He draws monsters from coffee stains, I love his work, and it’s the perfect way to reflect on the systemic stains made by the conventional coffee world, and clarify how we should go about it. 

Stay tuned.

Do you ever argue with your partner, with your roommate, with your mother, or whoever you are living with. Yes? Maybe? I am sure you noticed that what you argue about is never really the reason for the argument. Couples don’t break up because one of them did not empty the dishwasher...

It seems there is always something bigger, something unacknowledged that is overshadowing the apparent topic of the argument. Right?

Today we are featuring the Sculpture “Migratory Soul” by Josh Keyes which you can find here: https://www.instagram.com/joshkeyes.art/

There is a story I have been wanting to tell for a few days, but I was too busy pinching myself because I couldn’t believe what was actually happening.  

Ok, it’s time… Last week, when getting to my desk, there was a package on the table. I have no idea how it got here. It had “Cosmic” written on it. So I opened it. There was a postcard in there, handwritten with a sort of weird glowing ink that I had to put in the sunlight for maximum clarity. I couldn’t believe what was written on it, and what else was in this package...

Thank you for tuning in.

If you produce art, media, stories about what’s going on in the world, there is one tough decision you’re probably dealing with, especially if you have a significant following..

How much air time should I give to this topic, to this story, … isn’t it getting enough air time already? How is my piece influencing the discussion, really? Let’s deconstruct what’s going on here: let’s talk about how air time impacts our lives…

Thank you for tuning in.

Sometimes it feels we will never make it… whatever that means… “we will never make it” “it’s too late” “There are too many things to fix, in too little time… Let’s think about this for a second...
