Welcome to the blog of the dhfm artistic research group. We are embedded in Intermedia (LUCA School of Arts, Brussels), the Lieven Gevaert Research Centre (Faculty of Arts, University of Leuven), and the art institute Netwerk Aalst.

Dhfm encircles four research fields: The Forest of Things, Anecdotal Evidence, Glitches & Gibberish, and Omissions & Additions.
