EVENTSHamptons & East End
Weekend: Best Bets for Events in the Hamptons and East End Oct 28 – 31, 2016
October 26, 2016 by Genevieve Kotz East End Events, EVENTS, HAMPTONS, Hamptons & East End, Hamptons Weekend, NORTH FORK
This weekend, reap a harvest of local culture with things to do ranging from performances in Water Mill and at Bay Street to a gallery talk at Guild Hall and a new exhibition at the Parrish Art Museum. Looking for a cultural experience with a Halloween shiver of fear? Check out the screening of "Frankenstein" in Greenport.
"Artists Choose Artists" at the Parrish
The Parrish Art Museum's third iteration of the "Artists Choose Artists" exhibition will open on Sunday, October 30, 2016, at 1 p.m. following a talk and members' reception starting at 11 a.m., and will run through January 16, 2017.
The exhibition offers a chance to see art of the East End chosen by a jury of seven artists, including Cindy Sherman and Lynda Benglis. Each member of the jury chose two selections after viewing nearly 200 online submissions and conducting studio visits. The exhibition will feature painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media by both the jurors and the 14 artists they selected.
"Artists Choose Artists" jurors and the artists they selected are: Tina Barney with Dinah Maxwell Smith and RJT Haynes; Lynda Benglis with Garrett Chingery and Saskia Friedrich; Tony Oursler with Jackie Black and Marianne Weil; Donald Lipski with Suzanne Anker and Ben Butler; Jorge Pardo with Anne Bae and Monica Banks; Cindy Sherman with Bill Komoski and Toni Ross; and Leo Villareal with Karin Waisman and Almond Zigmund.
Five of the artists participating in the exhibition—Suzanne Anker, Monica Banks, Ben Butler, Saskia Friedrich and Karin Waisman—will also be leading workshops as part of the annual Artist-in-Residence program at the Parrish.
The Parrish Art Museum is located at 279 Montauk Highway, Water Mill, NY 11976.

"Chambre," a hybrid interdisciplinary performance and art installation, will be presented at the Watermill Center on Saturday, October 29, 2016 only as part of the Center's new reACT program. The planned Sunday performance has been cancelled, according to Watermill Center.
Jack Ferver, a past artist-in-residence at the Watermill Center in 2014, created the choreography and text for the piece. The installation is by Marc Swanson; costumes by Reid Bartelme; and sound score by Roarke Menzies. "Chambre" was inspired by Jean Genet's play "Les Bonnes" ("The Maids") and the real-life murder the play was based on. In it, Ferver examines notions of otherness, gender politics, celebrity culture, class division and the violence that often ensues.
Jack Ferver is a New York based writer, choreographer, director and actor. His work has been presented at the New Museum in New York City, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and the Théâtre de Vanves in France. The reACT program will feature past artists-in-residence, providing them with a space to present original works that are intimately linked to the Watermill Center.
Doors will open at 5 p.m. for complimentary cocktails and the hour-long show will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $30.
The Watermill Center is located at 39 Water Mill Towd Road, Water Mill, NY 11976.
Guild Hall Gallery Talk
Guild Hall in East Hampton will host a gallery talk between exhibiting artist William S. Heppenheimer and Stephanie deTroy Miller, a curatorial assistant, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 29, 2016.
William S. Heppenheimer is currently enjoying his first solo museum exhibition at Guild Hall after winning best in show honors at the museum's Artists Members Exhibition in 2014. Heppenheimer creates abstracted, kaleidoscopic works of art by pouring acrylic paint into ice trays that he swirls to create marbleized effects. The swirled paints are later cut into small cross sections and arranged into geometric forms and totems that play with notions of abstraction and representation, according to the museum's website.
Heppenheimer's work will be on display at the museum until Saturday, December 31, 2016. Admission is free. Guild Hall is located at 158 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937.
Bay Street Sixties Show
Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor will host "The Sixties Show," a musical revue re-creating songs of the 1960s, on Saturday, October 29 at 8 p.m.
The two-hour musical performance will feature '60s hits, B-sides and deep album cuts. Performing the songs will be musicians who have played with Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks, along with current members of the multi-platinum pop group The Smithereens. Musical director Craig O'Keefe will play bass, guitar, keyboards and sing. He will be joined by Tom Licameli and Jim Boggia, both on guitar and vocals; keyboardist Pete Chiusano; bass and backing vocalist John Cardone;6 and drummers Dennis Diken and Chris Parker.
Tickets are $30.
Bay Street Theatre is located at 1 Bay Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963.
Frankenstein Screening in Peconic
Get into the Halloween spirit with the Peconic Landing's screening of the National Theatre Live's encore broadcast of "Frankenstein" on Sunday, October 30, 2016 from 3 to 6 p.m. at Peconic Landing in Greenport.
Based on the classic novel by Mary Shelley, the screening features the National Theatre production, with script by Nick Dear, which starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating in the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his horrific creation. Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle, the stage production of "Frankenstein" had a sold-out run at the National Theatre and won such awards as the 2012 Olivier for Best Actor for both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
The screening will be at the Peconic Landing Community Center at 1500 Brecknock Road, Greenport, NY 11944.
Tickets are $20 per person. To register for the event, click here.
10/27/16 EDITOR'S NOTE: The column has been updated to note a change in the performance schedule at Watermill Center. "Chambre" will be performed on Saturday only as Sunday's performance has been cancelled.

Three East End Calls for Artists Announced


Welcome to the April 2018 edition of our RTS newsletter. Enjoy reading!
Get Ready to Revolutionize Your Intercom... in 1RU!
NAB 2018 will mark the global launch of the most revolutionary product in RTS history.
This breakthrough solution promises to redefine intercom connectivity, scalability and all-around performance - all in a single rack unit format that makes matrix more accessible and user-friendly than ever before, for the widest range of applications and users of all levels.
Visit us at booth C5409 to experience the next level in RTS intercom innovation!
The latest OB truck from NEP Ireland has entered the fleet of the outside broadcasting specialist, complete with RTS and OMNEO IP technology at its heart. Named Emerald, the 12m expander truck will be primarily based in Ireland. It hit the road shortly before the commencement of the Rugby Six Nations tournament, where it was deployed to serve the coverage of national broadcaster RTE.
The result of a collaboration between NEP teams based in both Ireland and the UK, Emerald continues NEP's ongoing strategy of ensuring IP-based interconnectivity between all of the group's outside broadcast vehicles. Accordingly, the truck is now equipped with an OMNEO-enabled 96 port ADAM matrix plus KP-Series keypanels, all combining to form an easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy Dante-based intercoms environment.
During the recent BVE exhibition in London, visitors to the RTS booth were treated to a showcase of intercom technologies, from the remarkable ROAMEO wireless keypanel to our KP-Series keypanels - the first professional intercom keypanels featuring built-in OMNEO IP technology. In this video, RTS' Jon Ridel explains it all to leading publication KitPlus.

Topology of cell adhesion molecules.
The neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) exists in two major forms [ld (large cytoplasmic domain) peptide and sd (small cytoplasmic domain) peptide] that contain transmembrane segments and different cytoplasmic domains and in a third form [ssd (small surface domain) peptide] that lacks transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions. All forms have the same extracellular region of more than 600 amino acid residues, a region also found in a fragment (Fr2) that can be released from cells by proteolysis. The liver cell adhesion molecule (L-CAM) is expressed as a single species that is distinct from N-CAM, but its extracellular region can also be obtained as a proteolytic fragment (Ft1). Examination of the various forms of N-CAM and the Ft1 fragment of L-CAM by electron microscopy of rotary shadowed molecules indicated that they all have rod-shaped structures that contain a hinge region which is apparently flexible. Both the ssd chain and the Fr2 fragment of N-CAM are single rods bent into arms approximately 18 and 10 nm long. The ld and sd chains are longer bent rods that form rosettes comprising two to six branches; detergent treatment disrupts these rosettes into single rods. Specific antibodies that block homophilic N-CAM binding labeled the distal ends of the branches of the ld/sd rosettes and the ends of the longer arm of both the ssd chain and the Fr2 fragment. Antibodies that bind to the sialic acid-rich region of N-CAM bound near the hinge. These data indicate that the N-CAM rosettes are formed by interaction between their transmembrane or cytoplasmic domains and not by interactions involving their homophilic binding sites. The L-CAM Ft1 fragment is also a bent rod with an apparently flexible hinge; like the ssd chain and the Fr2 fragment of N-CAM, it does not form aggregates. The similarities between L-CAM and N-CAM, despite their differences in amino acid sequence, suggest that their general configuration and the presence of a flexible hinge are important elements in assuring effective and specific cell-cell adhesion.

Sourcing the vast amount of data needed to meet the new regulatory requirements of MiFID II and PRIIPs is the biggest challenge facing both asset managers and insurers, according to a survey undertaken by Silverfinch, the leading regulatory data exchange, at its recent London conference.
Four-fifths of insurers said the collection and aggregation of data for PRIIPs was the most challenging requirement, trumping the calculation or document production aspects of the rules. For asset managers, a similar number said collecting the data was the biggest challenge for MiFID II, well ahead of concerns related to issues such as template construction.
More than 90% of respondents in the survey said they saw deliverability or experience as the most important issue when searching for partners to help them with these new rules, demonstrating that financial businesses recognise the importance of compliance with the regulations when they come into force in January.
At the same time, half of those surveyed cited a lack of internal cohesion as the main problem when it came to dealing with regulation, highlighting the need for a strategic approach to be introduced to simplify the regulatory process and reduce the risk of errant or conflicting data being produced.
Commenting on the findings, Silverfinch managing director John Dowdall said: "Many commentators have missed the fact that the biggest challenge with these new rules is the task of assembling the data from manufacturers in a standardised format that can then be passed on to the distributors that need it. What our survey shows is that those caught up in the maelstrom – the asset managers, insurers and wealth managers who will have to deal with this regulatory cliff edge – recognise the challenge of data gathering.

Trudeau Government Orders Winterized Trailers For Illegal Border-Crossers

The Trudeau government has ordered special winterized trailers for the illegal refugees who continue to enter Quebec from New York.
As the Canadian Press reports, although the number of asylum seekers has declined since the summer rush, numbers are expected to rise again as January approaches — when the Trump administration may lift the temporary protected status from the Haitian nationals who are fleeing the U.S. for Canada.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale announced Monday that the winterized trailers will be heated and ready for use by mid-November when half of the trailers arrive to replace the tent city that the Canadian Armed Forces erected for the illegals last summer.
The trailers will be suitable for sleeping and cooking as well as "related services," according to a statement from Goodale spokesman Scott Bardsley, who indicated that the Canadian government wants to be prepared for any eventuality in the ongoing border crisis.
"The number of asylum seekers in Canada fluctuates over time and can depend on many different factors," Bardsley informed the Canadian Press in an email.
"We won't speculate on any possible future trends, but we continuously monitor conditions and developments in other countries to inform our planning."
While illegal immigration continues along the border, Canadian Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen is indicating that legal immigration will remain at least at current levels. Hussen is expected to release its latest immigration policy in the House of Commons this week, but Hussen told CBC News that an immigration ceiling of "300,00 is now our new normal," while he refused to say that number wouldn't go higher.

Will Jerry Lewis' The Day the Clown Cried Ever Be Released?
by Stephen Silver
in SR Originals
Jerry Lewis, who passed away last weekend at the age of 91, was one of those famous people whose career was so long and varied that he was uniquely famous for close to a dozen different things. There was his comedy, his stage work, his long-time partnership with Dean Martin, his long resume of significant films that he directed, his iconic status in France, his annual hosting of the Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy charities and latter-day media appearances as an ornery curmudgeon.
However, there was one, particularly notorious episode in Jerry Lewis' decades-long career: His direction of the infamous 1972 Holocaust film The Day the Clown Cried, which remains perhaps the most notorious unreleased movie in Hollywood history.
Lewis wrote, directed and starred in The Day the Clown Cried, the fictional story of a washed-up circus clown imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. The character agrees to perform for Jewish children, and is later used by the Nazis to essentially usher Jewish children into the gas chambers.
The Day the Clown Cried has often been described as a wild miscalculation, a masterpiece of bad taste and a vain, failed attempt at Oscar bait by Lewis who, in his decades-long career, never won an Academy Award until he was given a Humanitarian award by the Academy in 2009. Lewis had long vowed that he would never allow the release of The Day the Clown Cried. So now that the Hollywood legend has died, will that change? That's a very complicated question, but most signs point to "no."
The film, shot in Sweden in the early '70s, was a troubled production - plagued by money shortfalls, which soon dissolved into disputes between Lewis and Joan O'Brien, who had written the story that inspired the film. The Day the Clown Cried, according to some accounts, was actually never officially completed and exists only in rough cut form; Lewis and O'Brien never reached any agreement on the rights that would allow the film to be released.
Nor, it appears, did any of the interested parties have any interest in any such release. Lewis, for his part, was known in his later years to lash out angrily at both journalists and audience Q&A participants whenever they asked him about the subject (and, to be fair, quite a lot of other subjects as well.)
So The Day the Clown Cried became something of an object of curiosity over the years, among Lewis fans, cinematic historians, preservationists and even scholars of the Holocaust. In an age when even the most hated movies, such as Showgirls and Ishtar, often have their reputations rehabilitated over time, The Day the Clown Cried never got that chance. In fact, it never even got to begin that cycle, even after a similarly themed film, Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful, was an Oscar-winning hit in 1998. There were even, in the early '90s, plans for a remake, in which Jack Abramoff, the Hollywood producer-turned-imprisoned political lobbyist, was involved an investor, although that film was never made.
A few people claim to have seen the film: Harry Shearer has said in various interviews that he saw a cut of the movie in 1979, while French film critic Jean-Michel Frodon told Vanity Fair that he saw the film in the early 2000s; Frodon actually had nice things to say about it. A series of reports last year claimed, somewhat misleadingly, that The Day the Clown Cried had been uploaded to YouTube. In fact, a German television documentary series called Der Clown had featured a small amount of original footage from the film, plus some re-enacted scenes from the script; a part of that documentary is what was posed to YouTube.
Since the film's screenplay has surfaced, actor Patton Oswalt once hosted a staged reading of said screenplay, and a YouTuber named Uncle Spokurns posted his own staging of the script in 2014:
So will we ever see The Day the Clown Cried? You probably shouldn't expect it to pop up at your local multiplex, or art house, any time soon. And it doesn't appear that Lewis' death will have any immediate effect on the film's status, one way or the other.
Lewis donated a print of his cut of the film to the Library of Congress in 2015, with the condition that it not be screened for at least ten years, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time. Even then, it's unclear who, exactly, owns the rights to the film, nor is it a given that the Library of Congress would choose to screen it at the time, or even have the rights to do so. Joan O'Brien, the writer with whom Lewis tangled all those years ago, died in 2004, and it's unclear if there are any copies of the film in existence besides Lewis' print.
Could the film leak illegally somehow? It's not out of the realm of possibility, but if there's only one existing analog print, I wouldn't count on the likelihood of that happening, either.
Lewis, in turns out, had addressed this very subject, with Entertainment Weekly in 2013:
"Who am I preserving it for? No one's ever gonna see it... But the preservation that I believe is that, when I die, I'm in total control of the material now. Nobody can touch it. After I'm gone, who knows what's going to happen? I think I have the legalese necessary to keep it where it is. So I'm pretty sure that it won't be seen."
What, exactly, is the "legalese" to which he refers? Perhaps only Jerry Lewis' lawyer knows.
The Day the Clown Cried's limbo has lasted through five decades, including various seismic changes in cultural trends, political trends, technological changes in terms of film distribution, and changes in definitions of what does and does not qualify as "offensive."
Should there be any move to release or otherwise show the film, whoever makes the decision will have to weigh the value of cinematic scholarship and preservation against that of a deceased artist's explicit wishes. But if Lewis put specific legal safeguards in place, it's unlikely that The Day the Clown Cried will ever resurface.

Q: Insert Joomla Html code in Jquery I'm wondering if it is possible to insert something like the following with jquery
$("#main_header").replaceWith("

//and here should come for example a module position <jdoc:include type="modules" name="right"  style="css-teske" headerLevel="3" />

");

thanks for every suggestion

A: jQuery is loaded client-side; Joomla tags are parsed server-side. So, no, you can't use jQuery to change Joomla tags.
However, you CAN use jQuery to set the container div to display:none or something like that.

A: If you really need asynchronously loading modules, you should maybe try to develop a component, which would be called over ajax and return the module.
You could use methods like JModuleHelper::renderModule or JModuleHelper::getModule().
But if you do not need that, much cleaner solution is hiding the module with Javascript.

Q: How to combine/connect Arabic letters from isolated form to connected form? I'm trying to combine/connect Arabic letters coming from a string.
The issue with this language and others is that each letter has 4 ways of being displayed, Isolated, Initial, Medial and final.
I've read a lot about the issue but didn't understand if there is a solution or not.
I have this text: مرحبا (which means "Marhaba" - Hello), it's read from right to left.
I'm developing a plug-in for another program which gives me the same string connected but backwards like this: ابحرم (if we read it from LTR it's ok but it should be RTL), so I separate the chars and reverse them, but then when I draw them on screen (graphics app) they are being displayed in their Isolated form like so: م ر ح ب ا reading fine from RTL but not connected.
So I was trying many things to make them display on the screen in the connected form but didn't get it to work, is there a simple method that I could use to connect them when displayed?
Thanks in advance.
My code for reversing the letters is:
    TextElementEnumerator enumerator = StringInfo.GetTextElementEnumerator(stringFromApp);

    List<string> elements = new List<string>();
    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
        elements.Add(enumerator.GetTextElement());

    elements.Reverse();
    string reversed = string.Concat(elements);
    App.textObject.text = reversed;

Air France Hop, voorheen: HOP!, is een regionale dochtermaatschappij van Air France. Ze ontstond in 2013 door de fusie van Airlinair, Brit Air en Régional. De maatschappij voert vluchten uit naar zo'n 50 Franse en Europese bestemmingen. Het hoofdkwartier is gevestigd in Bouguenais nabij Nantes.

Geschiedenis

De luchtvaartmaatschappij werd opgericht om de concurrentie aan te gaan met de lagekostenmaatschappijen die de markt hebben ingenomen op dezelfde regionale routes als van Air France.

Begin 2019 werd bekend gemaakt dat HOP! verdwijnt en opgaat in Air France. Het woordje HOP blijft wel als kleine toevoeging achter Air France staan. Het verdwijnen van HOP! als apart merk maakt onderdeel uit van de versimpelingstrategie van Ben Smith, de bestuursvoorzitter van Air-France KLM. Sinds 1 september 2019 worden alle HOP!-vluchten uitgevoerd onder Air France-code. De vliegtuigen worden geleidelijk gespoten in het kleurenschema van Air France Hop.

text: Q: Berndt–Hall–Hall–Hausman algorithm does not work I am studying economics and trying to use BHHH algorithm to maximize the loglikelihood function. However, the algorithm converges immediately since the absolute value of approximate Hessian is too large compared with the magnitude of the derivatives. This might happen when the starting point is far from the optimal. But I have the feeling it will also happen when the magnitude of loglikelihood is large and so is the derivative. Am I right? In this case, which algorithm should be a better option? Thank you.


After traveling all over the Western Hemisphere to inspect built work by emerging architects from Canada to Chile, a team of judges awarded the first-ever Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize on Tuesday, bestowing $25,000 and an offer to teach at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) on Mauricio Pezo and Sofia Von Ellrichshausen for their poetic Poli House, perched above the Pacific Ocean on a cliff in Tomé, Chile. The inaugural MCHAP.emerge prize was directed by Wiel Arets, Dean of the College of Architecture at IIT, and IIT professor / Chicago architect Dirk Denison. Some 265 nominees vied for two prizes, each "recognizing the most distinguished works built in North and South America between January 2000 and December 2013." The nominees for MCHAP were established designers, while MCHAP.emerge was meant for architects in the early stages of their careers. The later-career architects get their day in the sun October 22,w hen the $50,000 MCHAP award is announced. Four finalists were feted Tuesday at IIT, where they were congratulated by Denison, Arets, Rice University Architecture Dean Sarah Whiting, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Pezo von Ellrihshausen, a design firm based in Concepción, Chile, took home the MCHAP.emerge prize for their Poli House—a solid, earthquake-resistant concrete cube whose simple materiality and exterior form belies a series of intricately sculpted interior spaces. Occasional voids in the double-walled concrete perimeter punctuate the building's rooms and passageways with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, which rumbles below the cliffside residence and art gallery. Another Chilean project, the Kiltro House in Talca, similarly celebrated its dramatic setting with floor-to-ceiling glass spaces jutting out over steep drops in elevation. Named for a Chilean crossbreed dog, the Kiltro House took its cues from a mishmash of architectural styles, according to designer Juan Pablo Corvalán. With Gabriel Vergara, he heads Supersudaca architects. A Farnsworth-esque glass box cantilevered from a hybrid of various residential styles—including a castle included for a client who fancied herself a princess, Corvalán said—lifts up a roof whose undulations reflect the underlying topography. Farther north, in Los Angeles, architects Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues won recognition for Maximilian's Schell, a golden vortex that hovers above a formerly vacant lot in the Silverlake neighborhood. Inspired by the Disney flop "Black Hole" and the minimalist surfaces of architect/engineer Frei Otto, the installation creates "both an intimate experience and a spectacle," Ball said, by transmitting geometric shadows and yellow-tinged pools of light on the ground beneath the canopy. Look up from beneath the eye of the black hole, as it were, and you get a glimpse of a "James Turrell moment," Ball said, if the sky cooperates. Still farther north, Winnipeg, Canada's 5468796 Architecture was asked to reactivate a downtown plaza, whose 1970s bandshell had fallen into disrepair. They went much further than a simple rehab, however, coaxing great versatility from what at first appears to be an illuminated mesh cube. Ringed by a flexible curtain of perforated metal, the cube conceals several possible performance and event spaces, as well as what has become one of the most popular spots for wedding photos in Winnipeg. Projections from inside translate to the exterior, an effect used frequently when the cube's metal screen is pulled back to frame the stage with an elegance surprising for its metallic heft.
Join Leading Industry Professionals at Rem Koolhaas' Chicago IIT Campus Center for Facades+PERFORMANCE!
Facades+ PERFORMANCE, presented by The Architect's Newspaper and Enclos, is the latest in our breakthrough series of conferences which seek to address the most pressing issues in the design, fabrication, and construction of cutting-edge, sustainable building enclosures. Join us in Chicago from October 24th-25th as leading professionals from across the AEC industries converge for two days of symposia, panels, and workshops to explore the latest strategies for delivering innovative facades amidst increasing standards of geometric complexity and environmental performance. Architects, engineers, developers, consultants, and other industry professionals are invited to take part in this exciting event. Be there as German architect Stefan Behnisch, founding partner of Behnisch Architekten, delivers his featured keynote address on the shifting role of the building skin in the wake of emerging technologies. Network with fellow professionals and join in the dialog with representatives from SOM, Gehry Technologies, Morphosis, SHoP, Thornton Tomasetti, and other industry-leading firms. From cocktails in Rem Koolhaas–designed IIT McCormick Tribune Campus Center, to hands-on workshops in the latest design technologies and intimate discussions of some of today's most exciting projects, this is one event you cannot afford to miss. Register today to join the revolution that is changing the face of our built environment. "With the challenges we face in the built environment, facades are becoming more and more an integral element of architectural design and engineering," said Behnisch in a statement. "It is not only the visual appearance but also the performance of a building that depend on the facade." With dozens of completed projects across Europe and the United States, Behnisch has made a name for himself through the dynamic forms, state-of-the-art facades, and the socially and environmentally sustainable focus of his work. As our featured keynote speaker, Behnisch will draw from his professional experience discuss the evolving functions of facades and the architect's role within this changing landscape. "In the search for a more sustainable built environment, we, the architects have to assess the conditions under which our buildings have to be built and the conditions under which they have to perform. Whilst in the second half of the 20th century, the International Style allowed us to build similar buildings within many different climates, we cannot afford to do this anymore. …Today, we have to analyze the climatic, the cultural, the geopolitical, the social, the geographical and the topographical conditions of our potential buildings." The seats are filling up fast, so reserve your space today to hear more from Behnisch and the rest of the exciting lineup of presenters at Facades+ PERFORMANCE! For the full schedule of events, check out the complete Facades+ site.
Next month, AN is providing registered architects the opportunity to earn 8 AIA LU credits and the chance to collaborate with industry experts on practical projects at Facades+PERFORMANCE Chicago. Mostapha Roudsari of Thornton Tomasetti is leading one of six full-day tech workshops programmed for October 25th at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he will investigate building envelope performance through hands-on tasks. For those with beginner level knowledge of Grasshopper, Roudsari will explore the relationship between building envelope performance and architectural design decision-making. Environmental Analysis for High Performance Building Envelope Design will involve a short introduction to the basics of building envelope performance evaluation, in addition to practical weather data analysis. Through a series of applications, this workshop will guide participants through an iterative method of understanding the issue, conducting design evaluations, setting up parametric models, leading environmental analyses, and drawing conclusions. Roudsari is an Integration Applications Developer at Thornton Tomasetti where he specializes in environmental building design and simulation. His diverse expertise allows him to create automated performance-driven design and optimization workflows by integrating advanced parametric modeling with environmental performance analysis and multi-objective optimization algorithms. Roudsari is the developer for Ladybug and Honeybee, two environmental plugins for Grasshopper that allow users to import and analyze weather data and run parametric environmental studies using RADIANCE, DAYSIM and EnergyPlus directly from Grasshopper3D. Register for Facades+ and learn more about Roudsari's tech workshop.
AN's distinctive Facades+PERFORMANCE conference in Chicago provides participants the exclusive opportunity to engage in in-depth dialogue with frontrunners in the architecture, fabrication, and engineering industries. On October 25th at the Illinois Institute of Technology, workshop leaders such as Sophie Pennetier, Project Engineer at SHoP, will lead intimate discussions conducive to innovation and creative problem-solving. Topics including bent glass, designing for wood fabrication in complex geometries, and integrating performance are on the lineup. Leading a discussion focused on new and existing methods for designing and using cold formed, heat molded, or otherwise double-curved glass, Pennetier, along with Beatriz Fernandez of Cricursa and Franklin Lancaster of Eckersley O'Callaghan, will present real-world case studies. A structural engineer with five years of experience in design, detailing, and construction in complex structures, she specializes in non-conventional structures and envelope systems. Before joining SHoP Construction this year where she has worked on modular construction projects, she worked as a structural engineer at Guy Nordenson and Associates (GNA) in New York, and prior to that as a structural engineer at RFR Consulting in Paris, where she contributed to groundbreaking UHPC curtain wall system development with the Liquid Wall project. As a member of the ASCE-AEI Curtain Wall Committee and the ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings, she contributes to the development of US structural glass standards. Pennetier has earned a Masters in Mechanics of Materials and Structures at Polytechnic School EPF in Paris and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnic School in Montreal.
To celebrate its perennial master of modernism, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Illinois Institute of Technology produced a video showcasing his work and influence in Chicago. Take a few minutes on the 75th anniversary of Mies' arrival in the Windy City to watch it.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat held its 11th annual awards symposium Thursday, bestowing architect Helmut Jahn and structural engineers Charles Thornton and Richard Tomasetti with lifetime achievement recognition and awarding Doha Tower the title of 2012's Best Tall Building. Ateliers Jean Novel's cylindrical landmark for the burgeoning Qatar capital is the first tall building to use a diagonal grid of reinforced concrete columns in a cross shape. This innovation leaves open the central core, creating a stunning space at the tip of the tower that makes perhaps the best use of the building's intricately detailed facade. In the Illinois Institute of Technology's Hermann Hall, CTBUH also awarded one building in each of four geographical regions with Best Tall Building awards, with each recipient presenting their work. The Absolute World Towers in Mississauga, Ontario took home the Americas award. Architect Ma Yansong remarked that high-rises increasingly resemble machines, but his work aims to make tall buildings more human. See AN's past coverage for more on all the award-winners. SOM's Al Hamra Firdous Tower in Kuwait City and Progetto CMR's Complesso Garibaldi Tower 2 in Milan received honors as featured finalists. Jahn, whose 40-year portfolio of built work includes the Sony Center in Berlin, Liberty Place in Philadelphia and the MGM Veer Towers in Las Vegas, said some architects forget that very tall buildings have a responsibility to reflect the character and spirit of the cities whose skylines they alter. During the question portion of the morning presentations, he also lamented the loss of architects "who would just throw their drawings at the client," calling for less "pussyfooting" and more boldness in design today. In another crowd-pleasing moment, Charlie Thornton said engineering is essentially simple when it is not obfuscated by self-important professors. "We need to get rid of calculus teachers," he said. "They are destroying future engineers." "I'm not very popular with engineering schools," he added. Thornton's name has become practically synonymous, as has his partner Richard Tomasetti's, with tall building engineering. Before the days of BIM and Catia, Thornton said, he would calculate building stresses on yellow legal pads during long flights. $5 million of computer calculations later, he said, his longhand calculations would be within 10 percent.
AN's Facades + Innovation Conference wrapped up last Friday in Chicago, rounding out the event's inaugural run from New York to San Francisco and ending at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Architects, engineers, builders, and designers at today's symposium plumbed the conceptual depths of form as well as the materials, programs and trends that could guide the future of design. Fernando Romero, founder of architecture firm FREE, kicked off the morning with a tour of his facade work, from the hexagonal network of mirrored steel tiles enclosing the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, to IIT's McCormick Tribune Campus Center just two blocks from the conference hall. Romero worked on the McCormick Center while at OMA, but had never before visited the completed structure. Walking through the building after his talk, delivered on his 41st birthday, the architect said it was a gift to finally visit. Digital tools are part and parcel with contemporary building design, but speakers with the digital technologies panel focused in on some important advances in the field. Thornton Tomasetti, who are working with Morphosis on Cornell University's new computing and information science building and the first phase of the Cornell-Technion Tech Campus on Manhattan's Roosevelt Island, spoke of Grasshopper tools that calculate column sizes, beam sizes and the like to determine a building's embodied carbon. This data links with EnergyPlus programs to accurately model environmental performance over a building's lifetime. Will Laufs directed our attention to adaptive glazings on high-performance mold-generated facades. Open-molded modern concrete allowed for elegantly detailed ductile facades, but it was the high-tech aspirations of the technology that proved most interesting. By weaving electronics into the facade, windows could become dynamic "screen prints" that shift solar heat gain coefficients, say, as occupants pass by certain areas. We also heard about current trends in the industry, including the prevalence of "design build" in the loosest sense: Architects are joining builders in the design process earlier, and vice versa. "Executive architects," meanwhile are bringing a comprehensive approach to permitting, mediating conflicts between a difficult projects many trades and disciplines. Given the collegiate setting, we fittingly turned to academic experts for the day's final panel. From Cal Poly to Milwaukee, we heard a chorus of professors encouraging collaboration and freethinking in design studios. Stepping out of the ivory tower was a common theme as well, with teachers touting practical design projects and funded faculty research that engages graduate and post-graduate students directly in creative work. We hope to see you next year: Our 2013 conference will come to New York City first, on April 11 and 12. We'll take the show to San Francisco in July and see you in Chicago next fall.
Event> Oct 11-12: AN's Facades & Fabrication Conference…And Look Who's Coming!
Chicago's collective IQ, no doubt already impressive, may rise a few points even higher this Thursday and Friday. The city is hosting a gathering of international thinkers and innovators who specialize in the tools that enable the creation of some of the world's most high-tech and visually arresting building skins. The conference, Collaboration: The Art and Science of Building Facades, is sponsored by The Architect's Newspaper and Enclos. On Thursday, the conference features a high-powered line-up of speakers on Thursday, including Fernando Romero of FREE as the keynote. Then on Friday, the conference turns practical with a series of hands-on workshops that will lead participants through the very latest tools, programs, and applications. For example, Florin Isvoranu of Austria-based firm Evolute, which has collaborating with Zaha Hadid, Asymptote and others, will host a workshop on parametrically driven optimization of freeform facades, a topic that even has industry experts signing up to learn something new. From students to seasoned veterans, those currently attending include staffers from firms like Sapa, Thornton Tomasetti, Interface, Cannon Design, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architcture, Perkins + Will, NBBJ, SOM, and KieranTimberlake, with roles ranging from engineer to BIM manager, market analyst to company president. PhD candidates, MArchs, and undergrads are flocking in from area universities and colleges including The School of the Art Institute, IIT, and Cranbrook Academy, as well as a hefty contingent of 12 students and three profs from the University of South Dakota State University's new Department of Architecture (DoArch). Collaboration is the industry conference you can't afford to miss. There's still time to sign up! Registration details here.
Marc Teer, an instructor at IIT, founded the site Black Spectacles in 2010 to create a friendly forum where architects and designers could learn the latest software online, from 3ds Max to RhinoScript and everything in between. In a day-long workshop on Friday, October 12, Teer will zero in on programs that enable the design and patterning of facades. The event is part of Collaboration: The Art and Science of Building Facades, the Chicago edition of the Architect's Newspaper's popular conference taking place October 11-12. Facade Patterning: Translation from Grasshopper into Revit will investigate interoperability between Grasshopper and Revit and explore the array of evocatively named tools that make this translation possible: Geometry Gym, Hummingbird, Chameleon & Import, OpenNurbs to Revit. "On the one hand you have Grasshopper, which provides architects with an unlimited architectural vocabulary, and on the other, you have Revit which is arguably the most powerful design development and documentation tool. The problem is these two tools don't work well together out of the box," said Teer. Not only will participants have a chance to work with Teer, but the software developers behind selected tools will also participate in the workshop via Skype, sharing stories for how the software emerged and offering in-depth insights into the possibilities--and limitations--of each."Our workshop will survey all of the available software that connects these two essential design tools," said Teer. "By the end of it, the attendees will understand how to properly translate their Grasshopper models into Revit. Connecting these two programs will give designers the tools they need to realize their most inventive work." To register for the conference and this workshop, click here. Workshop attendees should have an introductory understanding of both Grasshopper and Revit.
The Illinois Institute of Technology named Dutch designer Wiel Arets as the new dean of its architecture school Tuesday. Currently a professor at the Berlin University for the Arts, Arets will replace Donna Robertson. Arets is an acclaimed architect whose firm, WAA, has studios in Amsterdam, Berlin, Maastricht, and Zürich. His current projects include Amsterdam Central Station's IJhal, Allianz Headquarters in Zürich, and the A' House in Tokyo. Mies van der Rohe chaired IIT's architecture school for 20 years starting in 1938 and designed its main campus on Chicago's South Side.

	"""Calculate iteration for Finite-Temperature Lanczos method.

	Here we give a brief overview of this method based on `arXiv:1111.5931 <https://arxiv.org/abs/1111.5931>`_.

	One would naively think that it would require full diagonalization to calculate thermodynamic expectation values
	for a quantum system as one has to fully diagonalize the Hamiltonian to evaluate:

	.. math::
		\\langle O\\rangle_\\beta = \\frac{1}{Z}Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}O\\right)

	with the partition function defined as: :math:`Z=Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}\\right)`. The idea behind the
	Finite-Temperature Lanczos Method (FTLM) is to use quantum typicality as well as Krylov subspaces to
	simplify this calculation. Typicality states that the trace of an operator can be approximated as an average
	of that same operator with random vectors in the Hilbert-space sampled with the Harr measure. As a corollary, it
	is known that the fluctuations of this average for any finite sample set will converge to 0 as the size of
	the Hilbert space increases. Mathematically this is expressed as:

	.. math::
		\\frac{1}{\\dim\\mathcal{H}}Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}O\\right)\\approx \\frac{1}{N_r}\\sum_r\\langle r| e^{-\\beta H}O |r\\rangle

	where :math:`|r\\rangle` is a random state from the Harr measure of hilbert space :math:`\\mathcal{H}` if the
	Hamiltonian. An issue can occur when the temperature goes to zero as the overlap :math:`\\langle r| e^{-\\beta H}O |r\\rangle` will
	be quite small for most states :math:`|r\\rangle`. Hence, this will require more random realizations to converge. Therefore,
	this method is really only useful at high temperatures. Next, the idea is to use Lanczos to approximate the matrix exponential.
	The eigenstates from the lanczos basis can effectively be inserted as an identity operator:

	.. math::
		\\frac{1}{\\dim\\mathcal{H}}Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}O\\right)\\approx \\frac{1}{N_r}\\sum_r\\langle r|e^{-\\beta H}O|r\\rangle\\approx \\frac{1}{N_r}\\sum_r\\sum_{i=1}^m e^{-\\beta\\epsilon^{(r)}_i}\\langle r|\\psi^{(r)}_i\\rangle\\langle\\psi^{(r)}_i|O|r\\rangle = \\frac{1}{N_r}\\sum_r \\langle O\\rangle_r \\equiv \\overline{\\langle O\\rangle_r}

	Now going back to the thermal expecation value, we can use the expression above to calculate :math:`\\frac{1}{Z}Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}O\\right)`
	by noting that the partition function is simply the expecation value of the identity operator: :math:`Z=Tr\\left(e^{-\\beta H}I\\right)` and hence
	the thermal expecation value is approximated by:

	.. math::
		\\langle O\\rangle_\\beta \\approx \\frac{\\overline{\\langle O\\rangle_r}}{\\overline{\\langle I\\rangle_r}}

	The idea behind this function is to generate the the expecation value :math:`\\langle O\\rangle_r` and :math:`\\langle I\\rangle_r`
	for a lanczos basis generated from an initial state :math:`|r\\rangle`. Therefore if the user would like to calculate the thermal expecation value all one
	has to do call this function for each lanczos basis generated from a random state :math:`|r\\rangle`.

	Notes
	-----
	* The amount of memory used by this function scales like: :math:`nN_{op}` with :math:`n` being the size of the full Hilbert space and :math:`N_{op}` is the number of input operators.
	* FTLM does not converge very well at low temperatures, see function for low-temperature lanczos iterations.
	* One has to be careful as typicality only applies to the trace operation over the entire Hilbert space. Using symmetries is possible, however it requires the user to keep track of the weights in the different sectors.

	Parameters
	-----------
	O_dict : dictionary of Python Objects
		These Objects must have a 'dot' method that calculates a matrix vector product on a numpy.ndarray[:], the effective shape of these objects should be (n,n).
	E : array_like, (m,)
		Eigenvalues for the Krylov projection of some operator.
	V : array_like, (m,m)
		Eigenvectors for the Krylov projection of some operator.
	Q_T : iterator over rows of Q_T
		generator or ndarray that contains the lanczos basis associated with E, and V.
	beta : scalar/array_like, any shape
		Inverse temperature values to evaluate.

	Returns
	--------
	Result_dict: dictionary
		A dictionary storying the results for a single iteration of the FTLM. The results are stored in numpy.ndarrays
		that have the same shape as `beta`. The keys of `Result_dict` are the same as the keys in `O_dict` and the values
		associated with the given key in `Result_dict` are the expectation values for the operator in `O_dict` with the same key.
	I_expt: numpy.ndarray, same shape as `beta`
		The expecation value of the identity operator for each beta.

	Examples
	--------

Journalism & Speaking
The Essentials of Journalism
Essays and News
The Elements of Journalism
A timely new edition of the classic journalism text, now featuring updated material on the importance of reporting in the age of media mistrust and fake news—and how journalists can use technology to navigate its challenges
What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect
Revised and Updated 4th Edition
More than two decades ago, the Committee of Concerned Journalists gathered some of America's most influential newspeople and asked them, "What is journalism for?" Through exhaustive research, surveys, interviews, and public forums, the committee identified the essential elements that define journalism and its role in our society. The result is one of the most important books on media ever written—winner of the Goldsmith Book Prize from Harvard, a Society of Professional Journalists Award, and the Bart Richards Award for Media Criticism from Penn State University.
"Don't even think of becoming a reporter, editor, columnist or influential blogger without reading this modern classic"
— William Safire, New York Times
Updated with new material covering the ways journalists can leverage technology to their advantage, especially given the shifting revenue architecture of news—and with the future of news, facts, and democracy never more in question—this fourth edition of The Elements of Journalism is the authoritative guide for journalists, students, and anyone hoping to stay informed in contentious times.
"The most important book on the relationship of journalism and democracy published int he last fifty years"
— Roy Peter Clark, Poynter Institute
"One of the five best essential works about journalism ever written"
— Roger Mudd, The Wall Street Journal
"At a time when technological and financial forces are creating formidable challenges to journalism's traditional values, Kovach and Rosenstiel have written an immensely valuable primer on who we are, what we do, and how we should do it."
— David Halberstam
"The Elements of Journalism is a remarkable book that does a superb job of describing the problems, articulating the values, outlining the risks, and offering understandable and practical ways to respond to the difficulties of the present state of journalism. The Elements of Journalism ought to become required reading for every institution (and individual) engaged in journalism."
— Neil Rudenstine, President, Harvard University
"Of the many books that have been written about reporting the news, this one best captures the shortcomings, subtleties, and possibilities of modern journalism. It deserves to become as indispensable to journalists and journalism students as The Elements of Style."
— Tom Goldstein, Dean, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
"In an age when partisan rancor and ratings-driven showmanship have crowded out the more subtle virtues of solid journalism, Tom Rosenstiel and Bill Kovach provide a timely refresher course in the importance of press fundamentals. They remind us that at its best, journalism is a high public calling, and all those who practice it have a deeper obligation to their readers and viewers than to the demands of the market."
— David Talbot, editor-in-chief, Salon.com


At the end of 2016, the ZDI program completed its busiest year ever. This was beat by 2017 with a more than 40% increase in published advisories. When 2018 rolled around, we wondered if that growth would continue or if a plateau was coming. I don't think anyone predicted another 40% increase, but that's exactly what happened as we set a record for most advisories published by the program for the fifth year in a row.
We could not have this sustained increase in advisories – and thus better protections for Trend Micro customers – without the contributions from the talented and diverse group of security researchers submitting bug reports to our program. People from around the globe send vulnerability reports to the ZDI, and the quality and volume never disappoints. Our program would not be successful without our worldwide community of researchers, and we thank them for their contributions. Our program also relies on vendors patching the vulnerabilities we report to them, and we thank them for the work they do as well.
In 2018, the ZDI published 1,444 advisories – 427 more than 2017 and represents a 42% increase in published advisories. Of these published advisories, 158 (nearly 11%) were published as 0-day – a decrease of 1% from last year. That means that 1,286 different issues were successfully coordinated with the vendor to release alongside a patch or other mitigation.
Before we get to the details, it should be noted these numbers represent what was submitted to the ZDI program only. While it reflects broader trends throughout the industry, these numbers should not be construed as definitive for all vendors or programs. For example, we purchase very few bug reports in Google Chrome, but this doesn't mean there aren't bugs in Chrome – it just means most of those bugs get reported directly to Google.
With that said, Foxit and Adobe take the top two spots for advisories published in 2018. This reflects the increased use of PDFs in active exploits as well. While we did purchase some Flash and Photoshop bug reports, 96% of our Adobe advisories were Acrobat or Reader related. We've been seeing an increased focus on PDF research over the last few years, so this isn't much a surprise.
The next biggest for published advisories was Advantech. When you combine their numbers and add on Wecon, Delta Industrial, Omron, ABB, and others, it turns out that around 25% of our published advisories for 2018 were related to SCADA and industrial control systems (ICS). Clearly, there's some work to be done in the ICS industry to shore up their code. This segment also struggles with response, as many of these advisories were published as 0-day reports. In fact, 84% of the 0-days we released in 2018 were related to industrial control systems.
Microsoft is the next biggest vendor with a 30% increase of published advisories year-over-year. Of the 124 Microsoft advisories published by ZDI, 47% were somehow browser related. I say browser related, since this number includes IE, Edge, Chakra Core, and VBScript bugs that act like browser bugs (e.g. visit a web site and get owned). This year also saw the ZDI become the top contributor of bug reports to Microsoft. Security patches from Microsoft in total have risen less than 10%, so it's good to see more of these reports coming through our program.
Of course, buying bug reports is more meaningful when you are buying impactful bugs. Figure 4 shows the severity distribution of published advisories based on the CVSS scores.
Critical- and High-rated bugs make up 33% of bug reports for 2018, with Medium-severity reports making up 60%. There's definitely an uptick in security research across the board, and these numbers indicate much of those new bugs are in the Medium severity class. Don't sleep on those Low-severity cases. Many of those provide the info needed to make the Medium and High-severity bugs more reliable.
While any predictions are inherently flawed, there are a few trends we can call out. As a program, these are the areas where we are investing our own research time, and we'd love to see your submissions in these topics, as well.
Pwn2Own Tokyo saw the inclusion of IoT devices, and we recently announced Pwn2Own Vancouver will have an automotive category featuring a Tesla Model 3. As our world becomes more interconnected, security problems in the devices we rely on could end up causing more harm instead of providing convenience. In a similar vein, the SCADA/IIoT industry must no longer de-prioritize security over longevity or ease of use.
Many of the bug reports we purchase are the result of security patches that failed to fully address a problem. Many end users have lost faith in security patches, despite the fact that the best protection against active attack is still having a fully patched system. Vendors need to improve patch quality both from a security and a reliability perspective.
The PDF format continues to be used in active attacks, and there is no apparent end in sight. Considering this document renders on many OSes by many applications, it's no wonder why it remains an attractive target. Vendors must develop defense-in-depth measures to eliminate classes of vulnerabilities for PDFs to have some acceptable level of safety.
If the trend of the last few years continues, we will publish even more advisories in 2019 across a broader range of products.
We've already published 30 advisories through the first two weeks of the year, including our first 0day of 2019. Our Pwn2Own contests look to expanding as we constantly add new targets and categories. We also look to enhance our own research this year as we aim to publish more blogs with Proof-of-Concept (PoC) code and exploit demos. We also hope to increase the number of MindShaRE blogs we publish, which provide reverse engineering techniques that can be used by all. In other words, 2019 is shaping up to be a busy year with a ton a great research to come. We hope you come along from the ride. Until then, stay safe, stay tuned to this blog, and follow us on Twitter for the latest updates from the ZDI.

Chevet Magazine
A magazine in which culture becomes a comprehensible subject.
Pixy Liao: "don't get yourself completely erased!"
chevetmagazine 23 October, 2018 0 Comments
"A lot of art has no relation to any background or sexuality. In my case, I think my work challenges the viewer's background and sexuality. "
"Cliché can also be turned into not cliché, so they are ok" says Pixy Liao, the Chinese artist; to CHEVET over the course of the most beautiful Autumn in Paris, 2018. From what I can remember, a friend of mine [author's] told me about Liao and her recent project [Experimental Relationship Vol. 1], because he happened to saw the Brooklyn-based artist in Amsterdam. His words reminded me when Rivkin wrote intensely focused on the "complex arrangements of love and domesticity" in Cy Twombly's work –but not too intense, still meaningful and kind of comical. I got in touch with Liao, who have shown her most recent book at 'The Kitab' – India's first photobook festival –the second project in the Almora region with a special exhibition dedicated to 'Women in the Himalayas': "In the beginning, when they approached me, and asked me to ship books to them. I was going to say no. It feels so far and too much for shipping fee. And then, I went to their website and see those women in their traditional indian clothing, I really start to liking them. I wanted to let them see my books. So I said yes. In the end, I couldn't go there in person of course, so I'm not sure how that went," Pixy highlights.
So, for me it was the perfect personality to follow the flow of our not-planned Asian tribute season in CHEVET. I have instantly knew that this was another attempt to make it right. The previous one (to a famous Photographer and artist) ended up in the limbo of drafts, where simple words stop being funny and interesting and they start getting really mundane.
I thought (felt!) right away that I didn't want to channel this interview under a serious tone. I'm not Rivkin and Pixy Liao is certainly not Cy Twombly. Plus, Pixy told me "there's no plan. It just go with our life" (while discussing the work schemes), so why should I?

Let's start with the basics: I saw on your Instagram that you have posted Crime Album Stories: Paris 1886-1902 [Eugenia Parry, Alphonse Bertillon] as one of your favourite books. Why is that?
Oh, I didn't expect that question coming! Well, my Instagram account is @bloodypixy. That will tell you something. I'm fascinated in crime stories.
Do you work with references or are you 100% free of images on your mind while developing a project?
It can be either one. In my photo work, I sometime reference on images that I have seen in the past, like classic paintings or popular things in mass media. However, sometimes it can be just an idea coming from nowhere.
What's your experience with the term "artist" in this hyper modern world?
It's a luxury.
According to you… In a scale of 1 to 10, how modern is the world that we are currently living in?
How did you discovered yourself?
Through dating Moro (her boyfriend and fellow character in the book).
Hang in There © Pixy Liao
What's your concept of roles of gender –for someone that hasn't seen your book Experimental Relationship Vol. 1 yet?
I believe in gender fluidity. I think it's against human nature to have fixed expectations on men and women.
How do you see genders in general?
I'm interested in all kinds. There are so many different types.
In your opinion, is there a fine line between feelings and sexuality?
There's not just a fine line, there's a huge gap, ok? (!)
What's the most important thing for you and why: quality or emotions?
So, Is it the human being the best still life subject?
No, they move too much.
Do you think categorising an artist by her background or sexual approach is an easy way of trying to understand her art?
It's usually not necessarily. A lot of art has no relation to any background or sexuality whatsoever. In my case, I think my work challenges the viewer's background and sexuality. But, let's think about it, what if all the photos were actually taken by Moro (technically, he is the one who takes the photos sometimes)? And it's exactly the same image, so… do people have to react differently? Not always, art can speak for itself.

What's your best advice to overcome censorship?
Play with it, but don't get yourself completely erased.
What's the worst malpractice as an artist in the now?
It's too hard to support yourself through art. Nobody pays for you to be an artist.
Jack Pierson said once that he "cannot resist a handsome boy, an old movie star and a little bit of camp." What can you not resist in this world?
Oh! I cannot resist a handsome boy, a pretty girl and a really nice dress.

Remixing Intersectional Feminism At Pittsburgh's Miller Gallery At Carnegie Mellon University

HACKING / MODDING / REMIXING as Feminist Protest
Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon
On view until February 26, 2017
Even as feminism experiences a resurgence, there's still a marked lack of representation of women of color and gender nonconforming individuals in both art and political activism. This disparity was recently debated on an international level with the criticism launched at the disproportionately white and cisgender Women's March. A current show HACKING / MODDING / REMIXING As Feminist Protest at Pittsburgh's Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon provides a direct rebuke of this continued inequality by emphasizing the power of intersectional feminism (feminism that embraces multiple, overlapping social identities beyond gender, including race, ethnicity, sexuality and class).
The exhibition leads by example by bringing together a group of twenty two artists who fracture and rearrange technology to create their own narratives within male-dominated fields like gaming, net developing and computing. Organized by artist and game developer Angela Washko, the show, in many ways, is an answer to the much-reported lack of women in tech industries (Washko cites a 2013 study in her introductory wall text, stating only 26% of the positions in computing jobs in the U.S. are held by women). But, with its smart and diverse curation, HACKING / MODDING / REMIXING As Feminist Protest goes further than exhibitions about feminism often go, taking on race and other identity issues. This makes the show not only politically relevant, but also necessary viewing during our current feminist revival.
The show, though, doesn't get off to a good start. In a corner of the entrance, a small plastic table covered in Barbie memorabilia and assorted toys greets viewers like a children's play area. A Nintendo system on the table features Rachel Simone Weil's Hello Kitty Land, a hacked version of Super Mario Bros. that replaces Mario with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters. By switching masculine plumber Mario with saccharine Hello Kitty, Weil's raises girlish femininity to the heroic roles typically reserved for men. At first, it's adorable, but, after more consideration, it's kind of dumb.

Luckily, the rest of the show, which filled all three floors of the Miller Gallery, abandoned this cutesy feminist cliché for a more complex and expansive range of work. The show presents such a wide range of technology that it almost looks like a tech showroom. Some of these inclusions are pretty retro including an old desktop computer, displaying Olia Lialina's early click-based poetry My Boyfriend Came Back From The War and Lynn Hershman Leeson's Laserdisc Lorna, described here as the first interactive video art disk. While not overtly political (though it could be argued that, with the underrepresentation of women in tech, just working with technology as a woman artist is a feminist act), these works act as historical precedents to the more biting commentary by younger artists.
Beyond a loose genealogy of digital feminist interventions, Washko showcases a diversity of political and cultural concerns beyond just the views of white, cisgender women artists. While this should be the typical job of a curator, a show that refuses to resort to single identity-driven choices while embracing a cacophony of critiques feels fresh. These critiques range from the legacy of First Nations and Aboriginal histories in Skawennati's feature length Second Life film TimeTraveller™ to police violence in Sondra Perry's netherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 1.0.2, which combines Microsoft Windows' blue screen of death with the blue shield of police-enforced silence on the wrongful deaths of black women. Other works deal with trans identity and gender fluidity including micha cárdenas' Becoming Dragon, which documents the artist's 365 hours living as a dragon in Second Life. This performance questions the year of "real life experience" transgender individuals must fulfill before qualifying for Gender Confirmation Surgery.

While many of these works are successful individually, some were even more engaging together. Iranian American artist Morehshin Allahyari's net art Like Pearls and RAFiA Santana's Black Power Project, which both use the over-the-top aesthetics of GIFs. Allahyari's Like Pearls looks like a spam folder gone rogue. Overlaid with a grating electronic version of The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way," Allahyari's work is full of flashing and blingee-d GIFs of hearts, butterflies and roses. Between the GIFs, advertisements of women hock lingerie with their bodies whited out, a reference to Iran's censorship of these images. When viewers click on one of the GIFs, they're directed to another page, which features an erotic yet slightly threatening statement. One GIF leads viewers to the phrase: "Give her the gift she can't refuse." Through Like Pearls, Allahyari reveals the dual desire and danger that comes from living under a regime that heavily polices women's bodies and sexuality.

Nearby, RAFiA Santana's Black Power Project also employs the exaggerated, seizure-inducing quality of GIFs. But here, the GIFs address white musicians and celebrities' obsession with black fashion and culture. In one GIF, Macklemore, wearing a crown, stands in front of a raised, closed fist, symbolizing black power. Suddenly, he turns black, as do Iggy Azalea and Kylie Jenner in subsequent GIF projections. By pushing these pop stars' appropriation of black symbols and fashion to its absolute, offensive limit–blackface, Santana's collection of GIFs, despite their cheery colors, reminds viewers that cultural appropriation can be its own form of violence.
While taken independently, I'm not sure I would have even enjoyed RAFiA Santana GIFs, but viewed with Like Pearls, these two GIF-based works portray how marginalized identities can manipulate kitschy and glitchy form of digital technology to pointedly critique oppression. While each take aim at different issues–censorship in Iran and the cooptation of black culture, both artists reveal a parallel rejection of patriarchal power and white supremacy.
Similar conversations between included works occur again and again throughout the exhibition. By making space for multiple identities in HACKING / MODDING / REMIXING As Feminist Protest, Washko shows how disparate and diverse voices strengthen, rather than take away from, active forms of resistance. And at a time when intersectional feminism is rarely successfully achieved either in art or political activism, the show presents a much-needed refresher of how formidable it can be.
