...Wols's abstractions are scenes of the everyday realities of Paris life. Influenced by Moholy-Nagy and other Bauhaus aestheticians, they reveal the abstraction inherent in commonplace details. When figures are used, as in Untitled (Clochard) ,their human identity is obscured. Bodies become compositional elements, mere surfaces for the interplay of shadows. Other images, such as the stunning Untitled (Bucket), utilize light to create form. The water in the bucket has a metallic shimmer to it, suggesting a solidified surface. Wols skillfully contrasts the texture of the rags' ribbing with the placidity of the water to create an image...

...synthesizer, Minekawa blends the controlled tones and rhythms of Kraftwerk (to whom she pays homage on the expansive "Kraftpark") with the delicate innocence of 60s French pop-to effects which at times echo likeminded Stereolab and 80s New Wave. Minekawa refines her music along minimalist lines, creating a childlike interplay between melody and rhythm which makes tracks like "Phonobaloon Song" immediately enchanting. But Minekawa's music traces its tendency for reduction to even deeper motivations: employing the otherworldly blips of her analog synthesizers, at times almost piercing or unsettling, to allow us to hear them as music for the first...
This unequal access won't bring a rigid caste system a la Brave New World. The interplay between genes and environment is too complex to permit the easy fine-tuning of mind and spirit. Besides, in vitro fertilization is nobody's idea of a good time; even many affluent parents will forgo painful invasive procedures unless horrible hereditary defects are at stake. But the technology will become more powerful and user friendly. Sooner or later, as the most glaring genetic liabilities drift toward the bottom of the socioeconomic scale, we will see a biological stratification vivid enough to mock American...
...worst case, maybe even a few decades away. The point is, we are just beginning to see how dramatically gene-based science can change the ways in which new drugs are discovered and developed. Blind luck will play an increasingly smaller role as scientists tease out the complex interplay between genes, proteins and the environment. There is going to be confusion--some setbacks and disappointments--at least at first. But most in the field agree that pharmaceutical research has finally entered its golden...
