As already admirably demonstrated by Robert Musil in his Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften, our reality from Twentieth Century on has gradually became ungraspable at once. Always more any attempt to enclose questions into definitions becomes difficult. In the Twenty-First Century to comprehensively define the work of a person with a definition (artist, architect, thinker, critic, designer) is increasingly more vague, incorrect and confusing. Unique definitions of certain intellectual efforts are simply too tiny to frame comfortably one's work. I personally don't know what I actually am, especially under conventional labels, and every definition I tried to put after my name doesn't really fit me. What I can do though is to provide -following Musil's example- a cloud of activities and interests I am constantly working on. In this cloud of websites, my academic, theoretical, editorial, architectural, and research work is described, along with my interests at large about the phenomena we are living.
