In the Middle of the Endless Water, a solo exhibition by Julia Orquera Bianco curated by Carolina Cuervo at the Philip M. Meyers Jr. Memorial Gallery at the University of Cincinnati, brings together more than a decade of work by an artist whose practice has gradually moved from the personal experience of migration toward an inquiry into territory, memory, ecology, and alternative forms of knowledge.

I suppose that, like me, hundreds and probably thousands of viewers developed a dark sympathy for the character of Hannibal Lecter. The two actors who, to date, have embodied him most memorably are Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen. The character displays extraordinary intelligence and self-control. He conducts himself according to his own rules and ethical codes.
In a couple of weeks, The Annex Gallery will receive an exhibition by Juan-Sí González. There are several generations of Cuban artists —the younger ones especially— with only a very blurred idea of who Juan-Sí is and what his role has been in Cuban visual arts during the second half of the twentieth century. Some do not know him at all.

Photographer Jens G. Rosenkrantz Jr. opens Crossing the Border next Friday, September 4, in the main gallery of the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas in Miami. This is only the second time this body of photographs, taken along an extensive stretch of the southern border of the United States, has been shown publicly. Its first presentation took place in Cuba, at Fábrica de Arte Cubano, in 2019...
For this series, Rubio & del Amo, a Murcia-based studio specializing in visual identity, editorial design and packaging, joins forces with Cruz más Cruz, the Madrid firm founded by José María Cruz Novillo and later consolidated with the arrival of his son Pepe. Two fairly complementary sensibilities feeding into a common project.
In the mid-1990s, I had many printed copies of the Financial Times in my hands. Probably sometime between 1995 and 1997. I was fascinated by its design, the wan salmon of its pages and Ingram Pinn’s illustrations: its visual identity, basically. As for reading it, very little, I confess. It was an almost purely retinal experience, and little else. But it became clear to me that its texts were written for professionals —people who make decisions on the basis of verified information—
In India, some people looking for a phone through Gemini or Google’s AI Mode now see a Flipkart “Buy” button before opening the retailer’s app. TechCrunch reports that the limited test sends selected Flipkart listings to a Flipkart-branded checkout. Amazon products can appear beside them without the same purchase option. Google confirmed it is testing ways to help people discover businesses, but has not announced a wider release. The recommendation and the first step toward payment now share one interface, even though the retailer still handles checkout.
The design puts Google between a person’s request and a retailer’s checkout, giving the search company influence over which products appear ready to buy. Google invested about $350 million in Flipkart in 2024, a financial tie that predates the test. The report does not explain how eligible listings are selected. A conversational answer can sound like personal advice while the screen arranges commercial offers. When an assistant becomes the first shop window, its ordering shapes what shoppers compare before opening a store. Amazon listings can appear beside Flipkart’s, but only some Flipkart products get the one-tap checkout; shoppers still have to check the seller, total price, and terms in Flipkart’s checkout.
Xlinks proposes a 1.5-gigawatt AI data campus across 344 hectares of North Devon, alongside a large battery-storage site. A Guardian investigation published on September 27 reported that the company had held closed discussions with Torridge District Council since March 2025. In April, the council sent a letter of “in-principle support” before residents were told about the project and before any environmental statement or public consultation. Torridge told the Guardian that its pre-application process is standard guidance, not approval. Xlinks now says it expects to submit separate planning applications for the data center and battery facility in 2027, while public information days remain postponed.
Residents obtained this history through freedom-of-information requests, which also surfaced emails about stakeholder engagement and a site plan not yet released publicly. Torridge describes the exchanges as routine pre-application guidance. Xlinks advertises 650 to 1,200 permanent jobs, while local campaigners question the project’s land, water, and environmental costs. Its current website says consultation has been extended and the layout is still being refined. Residents are being asked to comment while formal applications and details remain in development. When the applications reach Torridge’s planning portal, the formal process will follow 18 months of contact between the developer and officials.
On Friday, a 2–1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the Pentagon’s decision to exclude Claude from its supply chain under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. The ruling followed Anthropic’s refusal to remove contract limits on using its model for lethal autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. The majority said those safeguards could prevent Claude from carrying out lawful military tasks and pose a supply-chain risk, even without evidence of intent to harm. Judge Karen Henderson dissented, reading the statute narrowly as covering sabotage or deliberate interference and saying Anthropic’s safeguards did not fit.
The ruling governs Pentagon procurement under that law. It does not resolve a separate challenge to the administration’s parallel effort to bar Anthropic across federal agencies, reviewed by another court under a different statute. For defense AI suppliers, the case shows how contractual safeguards can be treated as national-security risks when they conflict with a customer’s expected use. The majority stressed the Pentagon’s need for systems it can rely on for lawful tasks; the dissent emphasized the statute’s text and absence of malicious conduct. As AI enters military operations, the case leaves a hard question: who sets limits on systems used in lethal operations, and how much control can government demand from vendors? Anthropic is considering further review.
