China signs pacts with 'friend and partner' New Zealand
BEIJING (Reuters) - China signed cooperative arrangements with "friend" New Zealand on Wednesday during a visit by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins aimed at improving market access for a Western country that has long maintained a conciliatory approach towards China.
Xi told Hipkins, who became prime minister in January, that he attached great importance to Sino-New Zealand ties.

US Congress members’ provocation on Taiwan question ‘may interrupt Washington’s attempt’ to engage China
After US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit earlier this month, Washington's senior diplomats and officials are keeping in touch with their Chinese counterparts to seek further engagement, including a reported trip to China in July by Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, but all these attempts might be derailed by some US politicians, as their provocations on the Taiwan question and moves to push "decoupling" will make it difficult to stabilize the China-US tension, Chinese analysts said on Wednesday.
A US bipartisan congressional delegation led by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers landed in Taiwan on Tuesday for a three-day visit, according to the American Institute in Taiwan, CNBC reported. The delegation was scheduled to meet with Tsai Ing-wen, the regional leader of the island, on Wednesday.
The visit comes at a sensitive time for China-US relations. Rogers' visit to Taipei comes as the Biden administration is taking several steps aimed at stabilizing the bilateral relationship with China, which reached a low point in February, after the balloon incident, according to CNBC.
At the same time, some Republicans are urging Blinken not to renew the "Agreement between the United States and the People's Republic of China on cooperation in science and technology" (STA), a four-decade-old agreement between the US and China that provides for scientific and technological cooperation, according to US media outlet the National Review on Tuesday.
These moves show that many hostile forces and politicians within the US are trying to damage the China-US relationship even further rather than stabilizing and managing the tense situation, but while the Biden administration is asking for further engagement with China, it does not show enough sincerity to balance these negative impacts, said experts.
According to US media, Yellen plans to visit Beijing in early July for the first high-level economic talks with her new Chinese counterpart, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the scheduling.
On Tuesday, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng spoke on the phone with US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, according to the website of the Chinese embassy, but no information about visits of senior officials was mentioned.
Ni Feng, director of the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Wednesday that "Blinken's trip was not to repair the damaged China-US ties, but to seek communication to make sure there was no loss of control over bilateral relations. So it's natural that the US is continuing its provocations and even pushing forward confrontation and decoupling in some fields."
Li Haidong, a professor at China Foreign Affairs University, said that "China wants to stabilize the bilateral relations, but unfortunately, it seems like the US, whether its politicians in Congress or in the White House, wants to ensure that China-US relations continue to worsen and are muddying their efforts to stop this dangerous trend."
The US strategy on China has been finalized, so just like the past, seeking engagement with China will not affect their provocations against China, and China will not expect the US to completely stop provocations and confrontations, Ni said. "For China, we can just retaliate against them [the US] when we must, and talk to them when it's necessary."
Latest provocation
The Taiwan question is the most sensitive topic of the China-US relations, and China always fights back when the US provokes. The bipartisan delegation of US Congress members led by Rogers to the island of Taiwan, is definitely a provocation that could further destabilize the China-US tension, experts said.
The US House Armed Services Committee, chaired by Rogers, is responsible for oversight of the US' annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill that covers the operations of the Pentagon, including the annual defense budget and others, according to the committee's website.
Under Rogers, the House Armed Services Committee passed the NDAA bill for the fiscal year 2024 earlier this month that encourages joint military drills between the US and the island of Taiwan and exchanges among officials, in addition to military sales, direct commercial sales and industrial cooperation to build up the island of Taiwan's asymmetric defense capabilities, Taiwan media reported.
The delegation led by Rogers will likely promote more defense and military collusions between the "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces and the US, particularly arms sales, a Beijing-based military expert who requested anonymity told the Global Times on Wednesday.
The US is looking to equip the island of Taiwan into a "porcupine," a move that attempts to make a reunification-by-force operation by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) (the last resort taken under compelling circumstances) as costly as possible, with the ultimate goal of suppressing China's development, the expert said.
Unlike Ukraine which shares land borders with NATO countries, the island of Taiwan is isolated and is only 200 to 400 kilometers away from the Chinese mainland, so it would be almost impossible for the US to deliver military aid after a potential conflict starts. It is presumed that a large number of anti-ship, anti-aircraft and land attack missiles and other systems including reconnaissance and guidance units delivered beforehand would more or less cause troubles to the Chinese mainland, the expert said.
The US delegation will also represent the interests of US arms firms, which are eyeing huge profits from such arms sales, analysts said.
PLA's response
On Wednesday morning, the defense authority on the island of Taiwan said in a press release that it spotted 11 PLA aircraft and four PLA vessels around the island over the past 24 hours, with three of the detected aircraft crossing the so-called median line of the Taiwan Straits and entering the island's self-proclaimed southwest air defense identification zone.
The PLA has been regularly holding military exercises and patrols around the island of Taiwan over the past few years.
On Saturday, eight PLA J-10 fighter jets, allegedly for the first time, approached the 24-nautical-mile line of the island, the island's defense authority reported at the time. The 24-nautical-mile line is often used to describe the contiguous zone, which can extend up to 24 nautical miles from the baseline.
The island's defense authority said on Tuesday that "if any of the PLA aircraft or vessels enter the island's 'territorial airspace or territorial sea,' the armed forces on the island will counterattack on order," media on the island reported.
Chinese mainland experts said that since Taiwan is part of China, its so-called territorial airspace and territorial sea are China's, and it is completely legitimate for the PLA to operate on Chinese lands and seas.
The PLA now not only holds an overwhelming advantage in the Taiwan Straits against the secessionist armed forces on the island of Taiwan, it also has the capability to deny potential external interference forces like the US, observers said.
This fact will not be changed by some arms sales or joint military exercises between the US and the island of Taiwan, and such salami-slicing moves will only force the Chinese mainland to take further concrete steps to safeguard national unity, analysts said.
In my excitement over the Wiccafabulous winter shots we did later on in the day, I neglected these for awhile.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

A black and white version of a piece of urban art that can be found in painted in the walls of football field's changing room.
It may have been inspired by the 17th century Bernini sculpture entitled 'The ecstasy of St Teresa', which is housed in a church in Rome.

*Provocation Through Shock*
Las Hurdes bluntly presents the inhabitants of poor villages in Spain as primitives, using shots that remind us of brutal colonial behaviour. For instance, the camera makes a close-up of the teeth and throat of a sick girl. The camera is examining her from a superior position, suggesting we the viewers are more civilised than she is. We also see the image of a mosquito in a medical book followed by a man shivering of fever, suggesting that we have the knowledge to prevent his malaria, but he doesn’t. These images are shocking from the perspective of ethnographic cinema which, now and in the 1930s, aims for a humanistic, emphatic perspective. But to shock was of course at the core of the methods used by the Surrealists to provoke change in society.
Buñuel insisted on showing things rather than just telling them. He went as far as to shoot a climbing goat to show those goats sometimes fall from the cliffs. He could not wait for such an occasion to happen so he took out his revolver and shot a goat. This was clearly not consistent with the observational method used in the film, but this did not bother Buñuel. He left the shot in the film, even though the smoke of his gun was visible in the frame.
Shocking Music
The shock of the images is exacerbated by the music and voice-over that Buñuel uses. He puts the Fourth Symphony of Brahms under the images, creating again an enormous contrast. The sophisticated musical style combined with the dire circumstances of the Las Hurdes people force the viewer to see ‘them’ as very different from ‘us’, as primitives who do not take part in our civilisation.
Shocking Commentary
The voice-over makes this even worse. It is condescending and sarcastic, and shows indifference that could easily be mistaken for objectivity. To the contemporary viewer this suggests an ironic reading. For instance, when we see a few unidentified objects tacked to the wall, the voice-over says: “Note the flair for interior decorating.” And when we see a picture of an infanta on the wall of a school: “What is this fair lady doing here?” These comments highlight the idiosyncrasy of the voice-over, but most of the time it has a straightforward bluntness. Just after the camera has examined the mouth of the sick girl, it says coolly: “we were told that the girl died two days later.”
A Shocked Audience
The audience of the film in the 1930s was “extremely displeased” (ibid., p. 29), which is exactly what Buñuel had hoped for of course. He wanted to shock people out of their comfortable notions of the world around them, and provoke them into thinking for themselves.
Moving Beyond Stereotypes Through Shock
Bunuel's tactic might still work today in design research, because we often find that it is perhaps even more difficult to unlearn or forget the stereotypes we have of groups of people than learning new things about them. If one exagerates the stereotype, like Bunuel does by presenting poor village people as primitives, it becomes harder to take the stereotype seriously and forces you to look beyond your own certainties and knowledge.
About the film
Luis Buñuel, surrealist and eager to critique the status quo in society as well as in filmmaking, took a far from neutral stance with his film Las Hurdes (Land without bread) (1933). Not unimportantly, he did not have his hands tied by financers as he financed his films through a friend who had won the lottery and did not make any demands. Before Buñuel made his documentary Las Hurdes, he had already made his two short Surrealist films Un chien Andalou (1929) and (with Salvador Dali) L’age d’or (1930). To him, Las Hurdes is similar to his two earlier films and equally much Surrealist:
Of course the difference was that this film was based on a concrete reality. But it was an exceptional reality, one that stimulated the imagination. Furthermore the film coincided with the social concerns of the Surrealist movement which were very intense at the time.
Buñuel did not use a script for the film. He had read a book about the region that meticulously documented many aspects of everyday life in the arid mountains. Ten days before the shooting he visited the region and wrote down words like: ‘goats’, ‘a child sick with malaria’, ‘anopheles mosquitoes’, ‘there are no songs, there is no bread’, and he shot the film pretty much in agreement with those notes.
Quotations from an interview with Buñuel in: MacDonald and Cousins (1996) Imagining Reality, Faber and Faber, London.
I found a french spoken (no subtitles) copy of the film as an extra on Buñuel's Los Olvidados DVD at the DVD Bargains shop on Ebay.

“The future is there looking back at us.” — William Gibson
According to a recent Fast Company article, design has “matured from a largely stylistic endeavor to a field tasked with solving thorny technological and social problems.” Designers are no longer relegated to the downstream position of making things look pretty. We now have a seat at the table. No longer makers, we now aspire to be leaders. Design is everywhere, yet is now called upon to respond to constantly changing technological, demographic, and environmental conditions.
In this space between ubiquity and obsolescence, how can designers develop ways of working and collaborating that respond to our contemporary world? Join us for a monthly series of provocations at MAD where practitioners and critics discuss the changing nature of design and visual culture and its impact on the also changing fields of music, education, fashion, and more.
Technology
Technology plays the dual role of being instrumentalized as both an impartial tool and critical monitor of progress, security, and connection in our society. In this talk we look at how design, programming, and writing work together to express alternative perspectives on startup culture, surveillance, and automation.
Speakers
Sam Lavigne is an artist, programmer and journalist. His work deals with data, cops, surveillance and automation. He is currently a research fellow at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, and a contributing editor at The New Inquiry.

The stage play Sémiramis (1904) by Joséphin Peladan was first performed 24 July 1904, at the Amphitheatre antique in Nimes, South of France. The title role of the Assyrian queen Semiramis was for Segond-Weber (Comédie Française), while Albert Lambert fils played the Egyptian prince Keth-Aour, her love interest, and Dorival as Zakkir-Iddin, Semiramis' army leader. Additionally, Albert Darmont played the magician Ourkam, M. Liser Naram Sin and Lucie Brille one of the choreuses. The story takes place in Assyrian Ninive. Despite her mature age, the mighty warrior queen Semiramis falls in love with a young Egyptian prince. The men at her court detest the relationship and in the end the lover is killed in a duel. Semiramis criticizes the intolerant conspirators and flies away in a cloud of doves
