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.

Pigs that are resistant to a deadly viral disease have been created by scientists at Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute. The gene-edited animals remained healthy when exposed to classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious and often fatal disease. The virus was eradicated in the UK in 1966, but there have been several outbreaks since and it continues to pose a major threat to pig farming worldwide. “Classical swine fever is a devastating disease for livestock and farmers as we saw with the outbreak in the UK, 25 years ago,” said Helen Crooke, mammalian virology deputy leader at the Animal and Plant Health Agency
The stress of a long workday was really weighing Sarah down, and she felt the urgent need to get away. The moment the thought of escape crossed her mind, her fingers flew to the keyboard and typed “travel destinations.” Later, while she was casually scrolling through her social media, she was met with a flood of travel ads. There were lots of options, such as a serene hideaway in Kyoto and a luxurious beach villa in Bali, each perfectly echoing her desire. This is the magic of the recommender system at work.

Have you ever seen a circular intersection where cars continuously flow in one direction around a central island? That is a “roundabout,” a well-known alternative to traditional intersections. Drivers enter and exit at different points without relying on traffic lights. Their primary purpose is to improve traffic flow and minimize the likelihood of high-speed collisions, particularly dangerous T-bone and head-on crashes. Roundabouts have existed and been implemented for over a century. In the 1960s, the modern roundabout emerged in the UK, with added rules for yielding. Unlike intersections with red lights, roundabouts allow vehicles to continue moving at a
