Today, I took a train from Geneva to Saas-Fee, where the European Graduate School (where I'll be teaching) is located. What I didn't realize was that the train travels right past the village where I was sent to boarding school when I was nine years old. It was one of those Proustian experiences, where every sight and sound evokes a flood of forgotten childhood memories.
When I arrived, I ran into D.J. Spooky (who promptly introduced me to the Quay Brothers!) and we ended up going on a hike up a snow-covered alp. After dinner, filmmaker Claire Denis and French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy sceened Godard's "One Plus One."
I like it here.
