In Luxembourg smth similar exists but it's called "social help" for artists. It's rather easily available if you make art for a living and it's enough to survive (paying social security & living costs)
For one of my works, a 50 x 3.5m insitu concrete sculpture, i had about 10 subcontractors. Architects, concrete specialists, engineers, construction firm, gardeners and so on
You often lack the resources/skill thus you subcontract. Nothing wrong nor surprising with that.
Artworks are often 100% prototypes so it's already challenging finding subcontractors that understand the work and are willing to take the risk of producing the work.
You do not cook pasta by cooking time.
“La pasta vuole compagnia” Pasta needs company! Never leave it alone, keep stiring once in a while and keep testing them.
Best to drain it before you think it's "good" or al dente cause paste keeps cooking after beeing drained due to the heat and moisture/vapor.
Also, most good pasta dishes get their final cooking in a large pan in the sauce with some cooking water. So usually you drain em when they are still a bit hard in the inside and finish the cooking in the pan.

The irony of the ChatGPT em dashes ;3
Just came across this from Quant Network — they’re calling it a “Layer 2.5” aimed at helping institutions use public blockchains without giving up compliance or control.
It seems like they’re combining a multi-chain rollup with trusted node access controls and native asset interoperability — no wrapped tokens or mint/burn bridges. Also interesting to see the emphasis on node jurisdiction and privacy-preserving smart contracts.
Curious how this will play out
“Layer 2.5” a helpful mental model — or just marketing for a hybrid L2/L3 stack?
Quant Network introduces Overledger Fusion, a multi-chain Layer 2.5 network aimed at enabling institutional adoption of public blockchains through compliance, privacy, and interoperability.

Reminds me of my old Dual USB Macbook. Still smells to the point the whole room it's in stinks after all those years.
Heh reminds me a project i made 2 years ago. A local newspaper asked me for an artist intervention on a full page.
To keep it short:
I send my parents to a professional photofit guy from our national police (he never saw me, nor knows me, nor has seen a pic etc.) and made my parents describe me to him.
It's a work about identity, how the people that are very close to you see you and ofc the obvious link photofits have with the medium newspaper.
I removed it from my webpage (www.medium.lu) as i keep only a selection online so i exported a .pdf for u if anyone cares to check it out: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25637921/hn/identified.p...
