🇫🇷 Portrait of a European — France
Sunday, May 3, 2026
In France, identity is shaped through tension between state and citizen. This portrait explores how authority and resistance coexist, revealing a Europe where engagement is constant and trust is negotiated rather than assumed.
What This Changes
Saturday, May 2, 2026
As photonics moves from lab to platform, chips begin to sense, measure and interact with the physical world. From healthcare to quantum systems, this shift marks a transition from processing information to perceiving reality.
The Breakthrough: Light on Chip
Saturday, May 2, 2026
For the first time, photonics brings light generation, guidance and coupling together on a single chip. This shift transforms a long-standing experiment into a scalable platform—marking a turning point in how chips interact with the physical world.
The Hard Problem: Materials
Saturday, May 2, 2026
The next generation of chips is not limited by code, but by materials. As photonics advances, the challenge shifts to integrating fundamentally different substances—where even atomic mismatches can determine whether light is guided or lost.
From Infrared to Visible
Friday, May 1, 2026
For decades, chips have relied on invisible infrared light to move data. A new shift is emerging, where visible light introduces precision, sensing and interaction—moving technology beyond transport toward a deeper connection with the physical world.
The Color of the Next Chip
Friday, May 1, 2026
Blue light is emerging as the next frontier in chip technology. As photonics moves beyond infrared, new materials and architectures are redefining what chips can do—shifting from data transport toward precision, sensing and interaction with the physical world.
🇳🇱 Portrait of a European — Netherlands
Friday, May 1, 2026
In the Netherlands, identity is shaped by space—or the lack of it. This portrait explores how openness and pressure coexist, revealing a Europe where efficiency works, but access and livability are increasingly under strain.
🇸🇪 Portrait of a European — Sweden
Thursday, April 30, 2026
In Sweden, identity is shaped by trust—yet increasingly tested by change. This portrait explores how a strong social model adapts under pressure, revealing a Europe where stability is no longer taken for granted.
🇵🇱 Portrait of a European — Poland
Wednesday, April 29, 2026
In Poland, identity is shaped by movement—economic growth, social change and political tension. This portrait explores how ambition and tradition coexist, revealing a Europe that is not settled, but still defining its place.
