Currently on display at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum’s (TFAM), Time Games: Contemporary Appropriations of the Past brings together 150 works, dating back to the early 1990s, by 23 contemporary Taiwanese artists working in mixed media, painting and installation art. Among the artists participating in the exhibition is calligraphy artist Tong Yang-tze, who has invited two artists that work in different areas — singer-songwriter Cheer Chen and architect Eric Yao — to collaborate with her on her creative project titled “A Movement without Sound.” Each individual uses their own musicality in selecting 24 works or less from Yang’s 100-piece calligraphic series, recombining them and putting them on display in succession at the exhibition.
Chen’s part of the exhibit, which is already on display, takes the theme “lightness, soul,” and uses 14 of Tong’s works to express women’s unique soulfulness and sensitivity as well as the temporal and spatial fluidity of music. Eric Yao’s part of the exhibit will begin on May 8, working under the theme “a contradictory pursuit within music,” to represent Tong’s work. Time Games: Contemporary Appropriations of the Past will be on display until June 10.

When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed on Friday last week that the company is working with the Trump administration on a new computer chip designed for sale to China, it marked the latest chapter in a long-running debate over how the US should compete with China’s technological ambitions. The reasoning has sometimes changed — with US officials citing national security, human rights or purely economic competition — but the tool has been the same: export controls, or the threat of them. Nvidia believes it can eventually reap US$50 billion from artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales in China. But it so far has
In 2024, multiple airplane accidents caused severe casualties, including a Jeju Air disaster at the year’s end. However, not all incidents ended in tragedy. Early in the year, a Japan Airlines flight caught fire after landing in Tokyo, but all 379 passengers and crew members escaped within 90 seconds. This event highlights the “golden 90 seconds” that experts emphasize — most survivors evacuate the plane within this critical window. Proper preparation ensures you can act quickly and decisively during these crucial moments when every second counts. Your survival strategy begins before takeoff. Wear long pants, a comfortable top, and

A: Seeing as the 2025 Michelin Guide extended to New Taipei City and Hsinchu City and County, it’s hard to believe that none of the restaurants won a Michelin star. B: Some fine establishments — like Hsinchu’s A Cut steakhouse — surely deserve the honor. A: Michelin-starred restaurants have good quality food, but some of them are so pricey. B: I once had barbeque pork at a starred restaurant that set me back NT$4,800. That’s even higher than my weekly food budget. A: No wonder several of them have closed down recently, as high prices and the tariff war are scaring off
