“Delicacies” is my incoherent, irregular, unpredictable collection of interesting sparks I came across online. Handpicked by a human, no robots, no AI. A form of tripping, wandering, dérivé, with some loosely undefined theme holding them together. Delicacies have no fixed frequency: I hit the publish button when there is enough material. That can be after a week or after 3 months. No pressure, literally. Enjoy!

Some highlights from this edition:

• ARTEFACT — a collaboration between Neal Stephenson, Joe Lubin (Ethereum co-founder), and Rebecca Barcin (LAMANA1). 
• About the IDFA DocLab Program & Competition: the 2025 selections for the competition.
• New New Babylon research with Envisioning Tech’s Signals > Michell Zappa is onto something big when working on “Research-as-a-Product”.
