radio

Every time I visit a flee market I see things I recognize from long ago. If I was that kind of artist, I would collect them and reconstruct my parental home. I bet you I could do it. We didn't own anything out of the ordinary, everything from our kitchen utilities to our furniture is there, at flee markets and garage sales. But the internet is a bit like a flee market. And I don't even have to carry what I find. So today I imitate Bie, with his category "devices I used to know". This is my old radio. It's a model of the very futuristic (1966!) Evoluon, the Philips museum for technology in Eindhoven. I remember secretly listening to this radio in bed under the blankets. I had to go to bed insanely early, so I read with my bed lamp under the blankets too. A bed lamp I see at flee markets and garage sales all the time.

Ben ik het mee eens, heel mooi. Maar ik ken 'm niet. Lijd ik aan geheugenverlies?

Ja, maar dat wisten we al.

Leuk. Vorig jaar ben ik nog in het Evoluon geweest, voor een congres. Haalde het in geen lichtjaar met de ervaring als jongen die speelde met proefjes.

Al die proefjes en zo zijn te vinden op de link die ik geef. Klik op "evoluon".
