The Peter & nou Handbook: A Field Guide to an SF Practice (So Far), 2021
While this text is too chunky (it’s the quality really) to be accessible from this site, feel free to take a look at it on the GSA online research depositary thing, RADAR. I think you can just jump straight in here. Some context: This text examines The Peter & nou Project, a developing body of…

Peter & nou comes in a web version. Constantly evolving, never the same twice (though technically, it could be the same twice, it’s just highly unlikely), frustrating, annoying and verging on the incomprehensible www.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com‘s domain name refers to a specific moment in time and space; a narrative used by a dentist to hypnotise a child,…
Read MoreAntennae – Issue 50 Spring 2020
In this issue of Antennae sits Shooting the Messenger, an essay by Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson (pp118-135). A delight to have the video Peter (2014) discussed here in this fresh context. Thank you MW.

Read MoreIt’s November 2019…finally!
And so Blade Runner is everywhere. Two of my favourite moments of BR in the media soup this month are: Stephen Collin’s strip for the Guardian last week – see it here and BBC3’s The Essay 2019: The Year of Blade Runner – particularly Episode 2, Frances Morgan’s Sounds of the Future Past.

I wish this was in the shops now… Until then, you can achieve a similar effect by asking a friend to shout Nabokov at you through the door of an airport toilet.

Consummate consumer (or at least, consummate oogler) of screen-used and associated product that I remain, this bonny article highlights Blade Runner 2049’s very deliberate item choices… Can’t believe I’ve not visited Film and Furniture before now.
