Waow ! Thanks to all for the congratulations !
To clear up an important point : this is the distillate of a 90 minute
interview by phone, and the angle chosen by the journalist wasn't the 3D
stuff but the animal pictures and why I did them, since I'm a specialist in
animal feeding (cows, pigs etc.). Be sure that I did insist about some of
things that make pov unique (it enables lots of people around the world to
do art, it's free, the collective aspect of it as seen in the newsgroups and
the IMP etc.)... But these aspects were totally forgotten in the final paper
:(
I guess that the timing is responsible for the bias in the paper because it
came out at a very particular moment (Europe is knee-deep in the
"chickengate" crisis right now) where many people question the industry I'm
working in.
Anyway, I won't complain, because that's good publicity for pov and all of
us !

Gilles

PS. : big thanks to Ron Parker for the Superpatch !!!! Best news of the week
for me.
