...urban city, Hayes is surrounded by the city traffic, ignored by passersby. The solitary Hayes stands apart from the routine rush, a single protestor where there were once many. Comically exaggerated, K8 Hardy’s and Wynne Greenwood’s “New Report Artist Unknown,” comes in the form of a news telecast. “Reporting” on the mysterious lack of art created by women, the work is an unrelenting push for an increased female presence in contemporary art as K8 Hardy goes into the city, searching...
...characters who live in such vastly different worlds than we do. The nature of individual action—and, by the same token, the nature of modern life—must always be an enigma for others to scrutinize endlessly in recordings. However, the external description, while allowing for unknown motives, fails to yield realistic characters. This is a natural, if unhelpful, aspect of the world as seen through the camera’s lens: there can be no interiority. Studying a replayed moment in time may have its fascinating qualities, but it ultimately proves unsatisfying to be trapped...
...large part of this musical segregation is owing to how off-putting and uniformly white the non-pop rock community is. That said, the power to work towards a desegregation of the genre is within reach, but for some reason, it has yet to come about.For a similarly unknown reason, it has become treasonous within large parts of the African-American community for black artists to even consider straying outside of hip-hop, R&B, or soul.

...pointing to China's secretiveness as justification for assuming the worst. "The lack of transparency in China's military and security affairs poses risks to stability by increasing the potential for misunderstanding and miscalculation," the report said. "This situation will naturally lead to hedging against the unknown." The Pentagon adds that China spent up to $139 billion on its military, up to three times its declared budget (but only about a quarter of the Pentagon's). "The real story is the continuing development, the continuing modernization, the continuing acquisition of capabilities and the corresponding and unfortunate lack of understanding, lack...
...similar way to the human sense of touch, it is important to understand how they perceive objects and sense surfaces. "Most of modern biology is based on studying rodents," says Moore. "It is crucial to understand them." While MIT's research has figured out much of the unknown about the mechanics of the rats' whiskers, future research still needs to be done to understand how their brains actually decode and interprets the information...
