I have decided to register for two third-year modules in Philosophy of Logic at UNISA this year (‘Contemporary Social Epistemology: a study of the social determinants of knowledge” and “Mind and Reality”), either of which successfully completed will help me do an Honours in Philosophy (probably take two years) which in turn will allow me to do a Masters, probably in Information Design at the University of Pretoria where I did my first degree.

A lot of notice. Thinking about Art, about State of the Art, the Art of Information, the Intelligence of Art.
Oh and my and Je’anna Levannah’s latest conception, ‘Vapour Vixen’ is waiting in the wings.
