These events took place in Le Garage, a giant parking space that during the annual poster festival functions as a local exhibition hall. Since most of our recent work is explained in detail on this very website, we didn't feel the need to explain it again during a lecture; we thought we'd rather spend the given time talking about some of our interests and influences, such as pop music. Although, technically speaking, we didn't talk. To the seated audience, we handed out a small laser-printed zine that we produced ourselves (edition of 50), after which we played a selection of 9 songs on a CD-player. The small booklet contained 9 small texts, each text accompanying one track. The booklet also contained a short afterword ('About this lecture'), in which we explained the theme of the lecture (a theme that revolved mainly around the idea of the sun in pop music).		The publication consisted of a yellow sheet of paper (360 x 240 mm), printed on both sides, and folded to a square of 120 x 120 mm. This square folder was then put into a blue standard CD envelope. The round window in the blue envelope showed the yellow content, looking like a sun in the sky, underling the theme of the lecture. The following pages show pictures of the actual event (as photographed by Louise Dossing), images of the publication, and the full text of the actual lecture (including afterword). So click on.
