It is a great annoyance for almost all of us: cookie banners. On countless websites, such an irritating…Belgium · Belgium Read Article

In a lecture, internet artist Constant Dullaart asked himself: if your only tool is an iPhone, what does every problem look like? The question was of course a revision of the well-known statement, often attributed to psychologist Abraham Maslow, that to someone with only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
