...mosquitoes may live - to hunt down and eliminate global killers. The comparison is useful for another reason: Disease trackers, like crime solvers, often spend a lot of time sifting through a few, imperfect clues - hunches, really - to piece together a fuller picture. But that picture often ends up being indistinct as well. The WHO says, for example, that the "confidence interval" of its new estimate - the numerical range within which scientists believe the actual malaria incidence most likely lies - is 189 million cases to 327 million cases per year...
...lies in their wake per-se, but seek rather a total freedom of expression, and an expression of the relationship with each other and members of their community.” When considered from this perspective, their work doesn’t seem quite as heedless. Artists making art indistinct from the ways in which they live their lives certainly has precedence, most notably in Nan Goldin and her documentation of the chemical highs and lows of her uninhibited friends in pre-AIDS New York. Much of the reason that Goldin’s work has been elevated...

Just as memory itself is murky and indistinct, the characters and their reality too are indefinite and unclear.Although the actors’ double duties make the show feel more personal, they also lead the three to overanalyze their direction at times. Every time the two women sit together on the couch, both cross their legs. Sometimes, their movements...

Even as the individual elements of the music may merge together, however, the structure of the songs themselves is never indistinct. The rhythm and the drive are always in the forefront, pushing the song forward, holding us in suspense for the next big crest of sound...
...Mann first gained notice in the late 1980s. Some years later she moved into territory even more shadowy than the boundary between childhood and adulthood: the Southern landscape. Through darkroom accidents and her use of 19th century glass-plate developing techniques, these pictures come to us fogged, scratched and indistinct, like her portrait of a wounded tree, above. Her mesmerizing book is not so much a portrait of the South as it is a dream about it, with a residue of wonder and longing on every page...
