Chers tous ! **"Clair-obscur" à la Pinault Collection** "Prenant pour appui la réflexion du philosophe italien Giorgio Agamben, l’exposition « **Clair-obscur** » emprunte son titre au fameux *chiaroscuro* qui s’invite dans la peinture depuis le 16e siècle, le maniérisme et l’âge baroque, à l’image de l’œuvre du Caravage qui en intensifie l’usage, plongeant le monde terrestre dans l’obscurité, tandis que des rayons de lumière accentuent la tension dramatique et les enjeux spirituels sous-jacents à l’œuvre. Poursuivant ce voyage au cœur des ténèbres, Goya emporte dans son oeuvre toute la part sombre de l’humanité, et le clair-obscur, tel qu’il le parachève, nimbe toujours de sa profondeur et de son mystère la création contemporaine, en particulier, celle de **Sigmar Polke**, dans sa chapelle hallucinée *Axial Age* (2005-2007). **Philippe Parreno**, qui revisite les peintures noires de la *Quinta del Sordo* à la flamme de la bougie, rappelle combien ce cycle alchimiste a ouvert les vannes de la sensibilité moderne. L’influence du clair-obscur se fait autant sentir dans la palette sourde des toiles énigmatiques et mélancoliques de **Victor Man** — dont un ensemble de peintures est présenté en Galerie 3 — que dans la poétique des œuvres de **Bill Viola**, qui s’inspire des maîtres anciens pour faire advenir, dans une temporalité ralentie, des corps qui émergent de l’ombre..."

Hey, Let's celebrate the festival of colors at Jardin d'acclimatation on May 31st, 2026. We'll meet at 1:00 PM in front of elephants after the entrance. The event starts at 10H and lasts until 19H, you are free to come and go any time, but I highly suggest to be around the LVMH Foundation around 15H-16H. You can join the WhatsApp group : https://chat.whatsapp.com/HfBJVGxGmfvKDj37UVVIJ2?mode=gi_t A glimpse of what to expect: [https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared) For food, you have various stalls, where you need to pay and buy. There is an Indian village setup with stalls to purchase bangles, Indian traditional clothes, henna and tattoo as well. Added attractions: different dance workshops, a parade and many many more!!! Some points to consider: 1: The colors are dry organic, which will come off with a single wash and wipe, however, it is recommended to wear light cotton clothes. 2: It is recommended to carry a little cash because there is generally a network issue so sometimes the card machines might not work at the stalls. 3: You need to purchase the simple ticket for entry to the Jardin worth 7€ to gain entry to the event: [https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple](https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple) 4: You can purchase colors at the event site so you don't need to necessarily carry colors with yourself.

Sunday should be sunny and nicely warm so I propose you a social ride (with coffee) - unless the weather dramatically deteriorates. This will be a strictly non-drop, social, road-bike ride, beginning from the parking at La Grande Cascade. Here is the Strava route. [https://www.strava.com/activities/11829412836](https://www.strava.com/activities/11829412836) The ride will be somewhere just over 90km and around 950 meters of climbing - we can shortening 5 to 10 Kms before arriving to Dampierre if we feel that it's too long. Speed should be somewhere between 25-27km/h when out of Paris, possibly a little more on the flats. As always, please check the following: * do you have the cycling fitness and experience for this ride? * safety comes first: no helmet, no PCG ride. * this ride is for road bikes/velos de route, not for VTT etc. * check the weather in advance. * bring spare tube, bidons, energy bars, gels, etc. * bring money.

Hi Badminton Fans! Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from. **This session is open to intermediate level players and above ONLY.** What that means is that you should be comfortable with short serves to the T, doubles rotations, and smashes. There is also an 11 am Open Session for players of all abilities. If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start or ask us! We will try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels. As such, we can and will restrict participation at this 12pm session at our discretion. **What Do You Need** Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun. There are changing rooms and showers. **Get There Early** Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing. **Registration & Payments** Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session. **No Refunds** In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds. See you all on the court on Sunday. Happy badminton-ing! Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832) **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English! 2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help! * Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly. 3. I signed up, but I can’t make it! Can I get a refund? * No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees. 4. Why can’t I get a refund? * We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off. 5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
