Nam June Paik

'Nixon,' 1965, video installation

"This video installation draws upon the most significant television images of Richard Nixon’s presidency up to his resignation speech following the Watergate scandal in 1974. Paik began to use circular magnetic coils to subvert broadcast material in 1965. He often chose politicians as the subjects of his distortions, as a form of visual satire that worked on multiple levels: both against the figures of authority seen on the screen and against the manipulative nature of mass media images."

Photomontages & Photo Series:

Bringing the War Home

"Appropriating elements of pop culture in her work, such as television and magazine advertising, Rosler produced a now well-known set of photomontages, in which she collages magazine photography with depictions of ideal homes, producing a single incongruous frame as a way of highlighting the false disconnection between these two public discourses. In House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home, c.1967–72, for instance, a series produced at the peak of the Vietnam War, Rosler combined images of Vietnamese civilians and US soldiers with those of pristine dwellings. Remaining outside of the art context, Rosler distributed photocopies of these works among the anti-war community and published them in ‘underground’ periodicals."

Body Beautiful or Beauty Knows No Pain

"In the series Body Beautiful, or Beauty Knows No Pain, made between 1966 and 1972, Rosler deconstructs representations of women in mass circulation magazines. In the works in this series Cold Meat I, Cold Meat II, Hot Meat and Damp Meat, parts of women’s torsos are merged with kitchen appliances, placing the commodified female flesh within the arena of food preparation and consumption. Similarly, in Pop Art, or Wallpaper parts of a female body from a Playboy magazine centrefold become a patterned wallpaper and are systematically arranged, grid-like, on a wood-grain surface. In Woman with Vacuum (Vacuuming Pop Art) Martha Rosler addresses the marginalisation of women in pop art. The work features a well-groomed woman vacuuming a corridor filled with well-known pop art works by male artists – for instance a work by Tom Wesselman. The vacuuming woman is smiling, as if resigned to her invisibility and subservient role within the dominant patriarchal discourse."

Place of the Public: Airport Series

"Rosler also looks at the role of the flight passengers, the economics of flying and the strategies adopted by airlines. The sentences draw attention to the ways in which airport advertising, signage and architecture promise to take the visitor elsewhere, mentally and physically. "

"These photographs, accumulated over a long period of time, were taken in transit to inviting institutions, beginning in 1983. Rosler became part of a traveling class which, in the 1980s, was out of the reach of most commuters or tourists. The images are accompanied by text printed in vinyl letters and based on the functional tone of directions, dos, and don’ts, designed for transfer and border zones. "

ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 (GB) Review: Hashrate | Overclocking | Test

Review of the video card Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC (12 GB): Hashrate | Overclocking Settings| Test (proven) checkout all these and more. Object of research : a commercially available 3D graphics accelerator (video card) Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6. Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC (12 GB) Review Brief History- ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 (GB) At the beginning of all reviews of serial video cards, we update our knowledge about the performance of the accelerator family and its competitors. All this is subjectively assessed by us on a scale of five gradations. (This material was prepared prior to the release of the RTX 3080 Ti). Many Read This as well - AMD Radeon RX 6800 vs RX 6800 XT: Hashrate | Specs | Test | Config | Profit In general, the Radeon RX 6700 XT demonstrates its belonging to the number of very productive accelerators such as the GeForce RTX 3070/3060 Ti, falling right between them. Considering that earlier the Radeon RX 6800 demonstrated performance higher than the GeForce RTX 3070 (in games without ray tracing), it was logical to expect that the "middle" level of the Radeon RX 6700 XT will be approximately on the level of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and it turned out to be even higher. In practice, this means that the Radeon RX 6700 XT will allow you to play comfortably at 2.5K at maximum graphics settings, but this is all true if we are not considering games with ray tracing. And in the case of such games, the performance drawdown of the RX 6700 XT is such that at high graphics settings you can forget about 2.5K resolution, and you can play comfortably only in Full HD. Features and Characteristics Asustek Computer (Asus trademark) was founded in 1989 in the Republic of China (Taiwan). Headquartered in Taipei / Taiwan. On the Russian market since 1992. The oldest manufacturer of video cards and motherboards. Now it produces a very wide range of products in many areas of the IT industry (including the mobile segment). Manufactured in China and Taiwan. The total number of employees is about 2000 people.

Samsung memory chips (GDDR6, K4ZAF325BM-HC16) are designed for a nominal nominal operating frequency of 4000 (16000) MHz. Comparison with RX 6700 XT Gaming OC (12 GB) and Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC (12 GB)AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12 GB)front view    back view     The total number of power phases for the reference card Radeon RX 6700 XT and for the Asus card is the same - 11. The Asus PCB is somewhat similar to the reference card, but there are also many differences. The power supply circuit of the kernel is marked in green, and the memory is in red. PWM controller IR35217 (IOR / Infineon) controls 8 phases of GPU power supply. There is also a PWM controller NCP81022 (On Semiconductor), which controls three phases of power supply to memory chips; it is also located on the face of the PCB. The GPU power converter, built using Super Alloy Power II technology and modern solid-state capacitors (which is traditional for Asus), uses DrMOS Vishay transistor assemblies - in this case, SiC643 for the GPU power phases and SiC654 for the memory power phases, each of which is designed for maximum current 50 A. The board has the usual number of video outputs (4), and the set is no less familiar: 3 DP 1.4 and 1 HDMI 2.1. You can also find a proprietary controller for controlling the backlight on the board. And the well-known ITE processor is in charge of monitoring. It also controls two FanConnect II connectors for case fans, which can work depending on the heating of the video card. The nominal memory frequencies are equal to the reference values. But the boost value of the core frequency is higher than the reference analog, which on average gives a performance increase of 5%. Manual overclocking was tested using the standard AMD utility included in the driver control panel (although possible via Asus GPU Tweak and MSI Afterburner). The maximum possible frequencies for stable operation were found to be 2754/17088 MHz. At the same time, the performance gain relative to the reference card was just over 8.5%. The video card, traditionally for the ROG Strix series, has two BIOS options and a switch on the top of the card. The positions are indicated as P Mode (Performance) and Q Mode (Quiet). The difference lies in different curves of the fan operation setting (in terms of frequencies, everything is almost identical). At low GPU load, the fans always stop. Power is supplied through two 8-pin connectors. The operation of the card is controlled using the well-known proprietary utility Asus GPU Tweak II. Maximum performance mode that should be turned on anyway Default operating mode, GPU frequency 20 MHz below OC Mode Manual overclocking tab Heating and cooling The basis of the CO is a huge two-piece plate nickel-plated radiator with heat pipes soldered to the base of direct contact with the GPU and memory chips. The same heatsink serves as a cooler for some components of the VRM power converters using a small base plate. For the rest of the VRM mosfets, separate radiators are provided, located on a frame bolted to the main radiator. The back plate is made of aluminum with an electrical protective coating and has a dual purpose: it serves as a PCB protection element and through the thermal interface participates in cooling the back side of the card in the zones of memory chips and power converters. As can be seen from the principle of operation of this CO, all hot air remains inside the case, it is blown out partially behind the video card, as well as directly onto the motherboard. This means that you need to have a well-ventilated housing. Above the radiator, there is a casing with three ∅95 mm Axial-tech fans, in which the ends of the blades are connected by a ring for a clearer direction of air flow to the radiator. In addition, the middle fan has 2 more blades than the outer ones. And he also rotates the fan in the opposite direction relative to the extreme, which provides a kind of "gear effect", helping to fight the turbulence of the air flow. The fans stop at low load if the GPU temperature drops below 50 degrees. Of course, the CO becomes silent at the same time. When the PC starts up, the fans run, then they turn off before the OS boots. Then they turn on again for a few seconds before loading the video driver, and after polling the operating temperature, they turn off again. Below is a video on this topic. Fans are turned off at idle with any BIOS option. Thermal Monitoring with MSI Afterburner: BIOS P Mode (Performance): After 6 hours of running under load in OC Mode, the maximum core temperature did not exceed 68 degrees, which is a good result for video cards of this level. The maximum power was recorded at 212 W, and the maximum heating was observed in the center of the PCB. Below is a 9-minute card heating accelerated 50 times. With the described manual overclocking, the card's operating parameters did not change much, but the maximum power consumption rose to 227 watts. BIOS Q Mode (Quiet) In this mode, the core temperature was slightly higher - 78 ° C, but the fans rotated more slowly. Noise The noise measurement technique assumes that the room is noise-insulated and damped, and reverberations are reduced. The system unit, in which the noise of video cards is examined, does not have fans and is not a source of mechanical noise. The background level of 18 dBA is the noise level in the room and the noise level of the sound level meter itself. Measurements are taken from a distance of 50 cm from the video card at the level of the cooling system. Measurement modes: - Idle mode in 2D: loaded internet browser with iXBT.com website, Microsoft Word window, a number of internet communicators - 2D mode with movie viewing: SmoothVideo Project (SVP) is used - hardware decoding with insertion of intermediate frames - 3D mode with maximum load on the accelerator: using FurMark benchmark The assessment of the noise level gradations is as follows: - less than 20 dBA: conditionally silent - 20 to 25 dBA: very quiet - from 25 to 30 dBA: quiet - 30 to 35 dBA: clearly audible - 35 to 40 dBA: loud but bearable - above 40 dBA: very loud In idle, the Performance Mode and Quiet Mode did not differ at all: in 2D the temperature was no higher than 36 ° C, the fans did not work, the noise level was equal to the background one - 18 dBA. When watching a movie with hardware decoding, nothing changed. Under maximum load in 3D, the temperature in Performance Mode reached 68 ° C. At the same time, the fans spun up to 2433 rpm, the noise grew up to 32.9 dBA: this is clearly audible, but tolerable. In the video below, noise was captured for a couple of seconds every 30 seconds. In Quiet Mode, the temperature reached 78 ° C. At the same time, the fans spun up to 1674 rpm, and the noise grew only up to 30.0 dBA: it's pretty quiet. Backlight The backlighting of the card is implemented on the top end, in the inserts near the fans and in the ROG logo built into the back plate. Backlight control is traditionally performed using Asus' proprietary program - Armory Crate. The choice of modes is not very wide, but there is a program Aura Creator, which is also distributed free of charge, and with its help you can create your own lighting scenarios. Scope of delivery and packaging The package, in addition to the traditional user manual and the ROG card, includes small bonuses in the form of zip ties and a branded line.

The same is true for Nvidia's DLSS smart anti-aliasing technology. Therefore, we still carry out the most massive tests in games without ray tracing. Nevertheless, today already half of the video cards we regularly test support RT technology, so we conduct tests not only using conventional rasterization methods, but also with the inclusion of RT and / or DLSS. It is clear that in this case, video cards of the AMD Radeon RX 6000 family participate in tests without an analogue of DLSS (we are waiting for the company to implement the promised analogue and speed up the calculation of ray tracing).

Ratings are carried out for 28 accelerators that we study monthly as part of the Best Video Card of the Month project. In this case, a group of cards for analysis was selected from the general list, which includes the Radeon RX 6700 XT and its competitors.

Yes, when you turn on RT, the performance of the Radeon RX 6700 XT drops much more than that of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (not to mention the 3070). Alas, these kinds of games are now really a "bottleneck" for new products from AMD. All that remains is to wait for the release of the promised AMD Fidelity Super Resolution technology, which can become to some extent an analogue of Nvidia DLSS and compensate for the performance losses with RT at least to some extent. As for the Asus card, here its increased frequencies and manual overclocking only allowed it to rise slightly against the reference analog, but Nvidia is still far from its rivals. Utility rating The utility rating of the same cards is obtained if the indicator of the previous rating is divided by the prices of the corresponding accelerators. To calculate the utility rating, the retail prices were used conditionally for June 2021 . Attention! For well-known reasons, the prices for all cards have become purely speculative and have dramatically increased significantly relative to the recommended ones.

We perfectly see the tendency that has developed recently that top-end and even mid-range video cards received prices according to their ratings in mining (hash rate). On the one hand, this is very bad for gamers who want those accelerators that give the maximum hash rate. On the other hand, the same Radeon RX 6700 XT in games is only slightly weaker than the RTX 3070, but due to the hash rate, which is not comparable to the 3070, it has a lower price. However, it is extremely wild for me to talk about prices for video cards that have flown far beyond 100,000 rubles, and even 200,000 ... Let me emphasize once again that optimization of the settings for the operation of video cards for mining in our case does not provide for strong overclocking of the video memory, and external blowing of video cards is also mandatory. conclusions The Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC (12 GB) is a kind of hybrid of a top-end accelerator with a mid-level one.

Forward: March by Mike Lee https://ift.tt/3flTpur Mike Lee tells the story of two American political refugees in the South American country of Antanzia, with a complicated personal history; by Mike Lee.

"How exhausting all this was. In fact, if only people knew how madly tiresome it is to be a criminal!" 

- Hermann Hesse, Klein and Wagner 

The question was resolved with an answer I steadfastly refused to accept. My hands became putty in this memory of a profoundly painful aspect of my past. That is, doing something that seemed a good idea at the time, but really never was to begin with. This fact was laid out before me while with my old camp mate Stefan at a table at the beach in Antanzia City. We sat under a fuchsia umbrella chatting over some business regarding his novel and likely temporary employment writing copy for a public relations firm I had an excellent connection with. I am his literary agent; managing his often-difficult navigation through the publishing trade in the country we now call our home. As refugees coming to grips with the truth that we may never return home, Stefan and I carve out our own palos in this new garden in South America, channeling our lives in a manner where we have a sense that we no longer have to look over our shoulders in the street, or listen for the baleful knock on the door by the national police. Having said that, living in Antanzia is a struggle, and today's business meeting was no exception. Being in a new land, though with us having now spent three years for me, and coming up on one for Stefan, has its issues once you get over the relief of escaping a dictatorship and finding room to breathe and hopefully thrive. After that sense of relief passes, one is confronted with the difficulties of being accepted. Antanzians are outwardly welcoming, but we certainly have collectively been grating on their nerves since the United Nations negotiated for political refugees to come to this country. The Antanzians tire of being a dumping ground while we weary of being treated like shit by our hosts. This creates an impasse that is an abyss to traverse in what can best be described as a politely passive-aggressive manner. Yet for some reason that none of us could quite put our hands on, they were indifferent to our plight, and often angry. We were an inconvenient presence, often ghettoized in Briklin, the slums in the inner part of Antanzia City, or sent off to the mountains, or worse yet working in the steel mills and iron ore mines in the northern border areas around the city of Bataille. It was sometimes hell. Shopkeepers threw change at us at the markets, and landlords overcharged for rent. Employment services usually shifted Americans into construction, and contractors consistently violated the labor codes regarding wages and work conditions. We took it, though, because in these transactions both parties knew we had no power to complain. We could not go back, unless you saved enough money and moved on to Brazil and Argentina, which treated us a little better. Not by much, but there were better opportunities and a modicum of respect that was lacking in our hosts. But I was a literary agent for non-citizen writers, namely my fellow Americans, and a subeditor for a refugee journal and website. I had a visa and permanent work permit, and citizenship was on the horizon. My Portuguese was good, and I got respect from my indigenous peers. Stefan was a dreamer. Isolated in a house in the far mountains of the O'Doul Range, writing his novel, and churning out book reviews and literary essays for print and online journals catering to our growing community. I thought of him as a man trying to erase memory. This was reflected in his writing: scribing dreamy parables influenced heavily by Hermann Hesse and Ernst Junger that I believed had more appeal for the locals than it did for exiles. We liked words that tasted of the whips we endured. Fiction that threw us against the wall, sentences that burned like the cattle prods. Shoved face down in toilet seats, sitting hungry in isolation cells, martyrdom with a bullet was what appealed to us, because it was all we knew. In America, political conflict eventually was settled by the crack of gunfire and people dragged into darkness at four in the morning. That's our game. In this country, you can spot one of us by the look of past incarceration. We have a post-traumatic stare. We do not look at you, but through. Looking at Stefan I saw something lacking in his expression. He was direct and steady. He was not one of us. It was becoming apparent during the conversation, I made a mistake befriending this man. I did not trust him. I long ago learned not to.

Today is a Thursday late morning in March, the end of the Antanzian summer. I am older now, and I like fitting in so I dress my age, and try to look local in my tan linen suit and black oxfords. I began sporting a wide-brimmed straw hat, my vanity too much to show my receding hairline. Fitting in is something I didn't do well back home, but here I found it easy - to a point. As I sat across from Stefan my nascent disdain began to slowly percolate. Dear Stefan in his blazer and ill-fitting slacks. He needed to dress better, and I know he could, so I decided to keep our encounter on the beach, but intended to tell him to dress better when I took him to the editorial meeting. The work I had for him was simple enough. After countless delays, the RSA had planned the first human mission to Mars. The Gagarin mission was cobbled together under Russian/Indian leadership, using whatever resources were left in the now-collapsed European Union, and American technicians who no longer had a country willing to engage in anything other than staring at their navels. The international crew was mainly Russian, and Stefan minored in Russian in college, so it was a fit - somewhat - mainly because he spoke the language and knew Soviet history. But there were no Soviets, only Russians again, and the lot of them seemed to be blissfully unaware that being the last nation of any technological might left standing after a political and economic collapse does not leadership make. But, they did enough to launch for Mars, with grandiose plans to planet hop through the solar system and on to the stars. Considering the Antanzians had the tracking station in the northern mountains near the border, it was planned to boost their national pride by playing up their role in the Gagarin mission. So he was tasked to find someone who could write something for the local papers. Who better than an American? Why not us? We kicked the whole thing off with a few dreamers such as Goddard, a few weirdoes like Jack Parsons, and a slew of Nazis to work on releasing humanity from the taut bounds of Earth. We were the dreamers, with the means and spirit to get it done. We were Americans, and after World War II ruled - well, half the world. But we had a competitor with a knack to beat us. They got a satellite up first, shipped up a dog, a man, then a woman in space, did the first walk outside of a space capsule. Then we got serious, using the improved rocket design developed by our Germans using the fuel that Parsons invented, and set out for the big prize: the Moon. The other half withered and eventually crumbled, canceling their planned missions. Eventually we worked on a joint project, and then the other side totally collapsed, unable to keep up economically. The vastness of space before us was an American opportunity. At that moment, we were the only ones. The problem was, we lost our faith, distracted by events and an innate ability to stare at our navel and question ourselves endlessly. Dreams soon ceased to be. Sure, we managed to send out and land various craft, and launch exploratory vehicles which kissed the planets and several moons of our Solar System, but when it came to human exploration, as we had done with the Moon decades ago, we stayed with both feet on the ground. Then, due to events unforeseen, the balance of power shifted. One empire that had collapsed regenerated while the other - ours - crumbled into tertiary status. So, who better than an American? We still loved our country, though neither of us at this table liked it for what it had become, and America hated us to the point where we had become landless individuals cast out to at a table under an umbrella on the shore, under azure southern skies, marking time with all the other exiles, dreaming of a home that no longer was. So I did not trust this man. Not in the least. But I needed someone for the job.

The camp was situated in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The stark, treeless mountains framed our landscape beyond the wire fence. I found out after my arrival that communications to the camp headquarters was by landline telephone only and all radio and wireless communications were jammed by satellites. This was complete isolation, but we made do with the Saturday visits from relatives who drove on the single two-lane blacktop leading to the main gate. We furtively did our work there. Our resistance was to the banal, and our enemies were in the main rather boring. They dumped us in camps, fed us the three square meals consisting of aging meat and stale potatoes, and when in the mood occasionally kicked the shit out us, usually without warning. In that regard, their neglect gave us an internal freedom that quite often at times gave us a false sense of fearlessness. We could talk amongst ourselves, and communicate messages to our loved ones visiting us at wire beside the front gate. That went on for a year. Then things suddenly transmogrified into horror. It began when the camp commander issued orders to forbid the visits. The posting was announced at morning roll call as we watched a detachment of reserve units guarding the fence perimeter. They also announced that the road to the camp was ordered as a secure military zone with shoot-to-kill orders for any nonmilitary personnel. Mail and packages were now to be confiscated. Guards ransacked our huts while we stood in the high desert heat. That night came the first raids. Units of five soldiers each entered at both entrances and their commanding officer ran off names from a computer printout. Sometimes only two or three were taken from a particular hut; other times far more. Most were members of the camp resistance. The others known personalities from the old days, former elected officials, military, writers, professors. Anyone who had been in a position of power before the onset of the current regime. They were loaded on buses and taken out of the camp. We only heard the trucks move out because we were ordered to stay in our bunks. Two soldiers stood at the doors, their guns pointed in our general direction. The raids continued nightly for a week, until the entire active membership of the resistance was removed. Those who remained were the cursed lucky, the noninvolved and suspected informers. Stefan, of course, was one who remained. Before the camp lockdown and the raids, I never paid much attention to him. I do remember that because of his journalism background he was approached by the resistance to do occasional writing. He wrote a few minor efforts that were passed through the fence, but as far I knew was not involved more than that. Stefan usually sat at a bench, reading his novels. He liked Hermann Hesse, which made sense because before the camp he taught German literature in a university. At first, I thought he was lucky like me. I was into the resistance a bit deeper, certainly enough to be taken away into the night to unknown destinations. I kept caution from the wind and figuratively burrowed further underground. The remaining members of the resistance did the same, exchanging furtive glances in the yard, in our huts, and during muster, like gangsters in a French film noir. We did not know which from whom anymore. All of us were innocent, or a traitor. Or a bit of both. One cannot separate in these stressful conditions. We passed each other as the dead to one another. The triumph of the regime over us was clear to all. Take a few of us, and leave the remainder to quietly question their worthless place in our universe, was the message we received. Paranoid, and remaining silent while waiting out our lonely days and nights in the desert camp. I did talk to Stefan during this time. Nothing much in common except for a shared interest in academia. I was a journalist and found him an interesting companion regarding book recommendations. I kept the conversation to that, and the miserable desert heat in spring and summer, and equally wretched cold in winter. I thought those conversations were unrevealing. Sometime I lay awake at night trying to remember everything we said. My memory of those days is still shot. All I can recall is fragments of mid-century European literature and the desperate need for shade from May to October. But like in Melville's Army of Shadows, there would be a reckoning once we put together another resistance unit in the camp to find the traitor. That never happened, unfortunately. A second early morning raid followed, and this time I was unlucky. Yet in torture I gave no one up. This last time was a week in a basement, somewhere. My knees ache in the wet winters, and the burn scars from the cattle prods still mark my back and upper thighs. I also came close to a heart attack in the experience. At the conclusion I learned who ratted me out. It was a phrase I overheard at the end, while lying on the concrete floor. The man in the blue serge suit, looking for all the world like a dandy, oversaw my interrogation. He had clean, well-manicured hands, and as he stood over my prone body, he told the brute with the cattle prod that there was nothing else to get from me. The man in the suit was a big chief. He told the guy to quit, and ordered over his cell phone for medical personnel to collect me. As I was loaded on the gurney, I heard the suit say, "Yet again, the scribbler is more wrong than right. This one is of no use to us." He looked at me, grimacing, and I detected a mere smidgen of mercy. "Yes, that man is a Klein, not a Wagner," he said, sighing. "Well, enough of him. He's got his walking papers and out of our hair." I immediately recognized the reference. That was the book Stefan read. I had read it, too. Klein and Wagner was a novella in Hermann Hesse's Klingsor's Last Summer. This was the only book I read completely through while imprisoned at the camp. I knew it was Stefan who betrayed us. All of us.

My erstwhile betrayer asked for another coffee, for which I had to pay. I do not have a problem with covering his expenses, viewing it as a means to fatten the cow, gaining his trust. Stefan also needed me to provide him a job. I willingly - happily - complied. I motioned for the waiter and ordered two American coffees. As we sat in our seats under the fuchsia umbrella, we concluded our plans, relaxing quietly before taking our leave for the appointment. I had already called ahead. Goltz, the senior assistant public relations director at the firm, was expecting us. During the coffee I studied Stefan's face as we conversed. It was light speak. He talked about his girlfriend, a photographer he knew in the years before the regime, and of his writing cabin in the mountains. He was deep in the forest, and it dawned on me that this made perfect sense. I suspected he assumed we would be looking for him if we got to Antanzia. But what surprised me is he searched me out for work. I wondered if he was mad, clueless, a sadist. Innocent never entered my mind. He was guilty as hell. We spoke of writing. I dared to mention Herman Hesse. Without registering a reaction Stefan talked about the Hesse novels, from Peter Camenzind to The Glass Bead Game. I mentioned I particularly enjoyed the novella collection he produced relatively early in his career. "My favorite is Klein and Wagner. I love the story of a normal family man, who commits a crime and flees to Venice under an assumed identity. Eventually one identity takes over another and this dooms the character." Stefan paused before responding. "I don't think that was the motive for Klein's suicide. I believe guilt did him in. Hesse was going through a marriage breakup at the time, and his feelings of guilt were worked through on the pages of that story." That got him. I already figured out what his code name was. I fantasised of that man in the blue serge suit, sitting behind his desk looking at Stefan's file, and probably laughing his ass off. "Yes," I said. "In the end, the truth will tell." "What do you mean by that?" "Just that the truth wins out over all the subterfuge." I sipped my coffee. "We had those hopes in the camp that the truth wins out. In a manner, it happened. We exist. We live." I swung my arm across this beach. "We have all this beauty that surrounds us. Sure, this isn't home, but we are safe." "Yes," Stefan's gaze was a little glazed. He shifted nervously in his seat. "We are safe." Stefan straightened up and refocused his attention. I believed he knew what I implied. "I love my mountains, and the forest passage I walk in the morning with Patricia." "Yes, I understand," I said, wanting to reach out and strangle him. I sucked in a breath. "How is she doing with finding work? I read in NdM that she will be exhibiting at the Refugee Center in May." Patricia wasn't one of us, having been fortunately stuck on assignment in Australia when the regime came down on us all like sleep in the night. She had the reputation, though, to be seen as not one of us. I noticed her upcoming gallery show at the center was about us refugees. There was a certain irony to that. Engineers digging ditches, doctors as restaurant doormen, professors working behind the counter at gas stations. We, like everyone else in similar circumstances throughout the world, were exiled to a country that doesn't like us, begrudgingly accepted with sneering caveats, and starting again from the bottom up. Yeah, isn't this ironic? Goltz and I were among the lucky ones. Or clever - pick one, or take both. As for Stefan, he had his house with the artist girlfriend deep in the woods, yet so desperate for cash he relied on people he'd sold out for a passport out. That's the way I saw it. Maybe he saw it, too, and in his desperation he was taking this risk with me. He had to know one of us figured his game out. This was only a matter of time and I didn't understand it. For now, I think several motives were running through his mind. I settled on sadism: being represented by the guy who spent a week being beaten, his head shoved in ice water, and struck with a cattle prod. Getting a problem resolved by someone who nearly had a heart attack while writhing on a cold, damp concrete cellar floor. And here we were talking about Klein and Wagner. The character of Klein could no longer live with his guilt and the person he became. So he got in a rowboat, paddled out and drowned himself. Klein could no longer bear to be Wagner, and it killed him. Stefan kept his name, and was the same erudite, quiet and distant man he was at the camp. I paid for the lunch, and the coffee. I was getting him a job. He sat there across from me, enjoying the scene, hopeful for a potentially big payday, a favor from an old camp comrade. When the waiter looked in my direction, I raised my index finger. "A conta, por favor." Nodding, the waiter moved toward the wait station to fetch our bill.

The auditorium was in the Neuenschwander, built in the style of neo-Brutalism architecture favored by the Antanzians. The eggshell-white concrete windowless skyscraper loomed over the northern part of the central city, casting its shadow over the Bricklin neighborhood. We took a cab from the taxi stand by the beach and avoided the old neighborhood. While the driver took the fabled short cut around the Cathedral Plaza to avoid the congested main avenue, I pondered what I intended to do with Stefan once I had the chance. The problem with murder in Antanzia is that it gets the death penalty, and a crime of revenge doesn't cut it around here. The justice system in this country views these acts as a personal insult to their hospitality. In tandem with the driver, I instinctively cross myself as we pass the National Cathedral. I say a silent prayer for guidance. This never works, but I never give up trying. A higher power will eventually hear me, or at least give me a nudge. Stefan stared out the window, his hands carefully folded across his lap. I stared out the window of the taxi and looked for familiar landmarks. We were skirting the edges of Bricklin. I see the American-style diner where I used to take breakfast before starting my first job at the newsstand, standing behind a counter selling cigarettes and beer, watching his neighbors reading the newspapers instead of buying them - with few exceptions. He tolerated it, because back then everyone arrived broke and out-of-work while waiting for their permits. Beyond the scraps provided by Catholic Charities and the Refugee Center, we received nothing in terms of support. A work permit - a permiso - was what you received if you kept your nose clean and didn't scare the locals too often. Some had to wait months to receive one, depending on the waiting list. In the meantime, you existed on rice and beans and the housing was predicated on the kindness of strangers. It was a hard life. Stefan arrived and received a cottage gifted by one the leaders of the resistance, who was his friend and admired his writing. He was the one who insisted I take him as a client, citing loyalty to the cause and the brotherhood of experience in the camps. In that conversation, I never mentioned Klein and Wagner. Instead, I said yes. I didn't have a choice. After the meeting, I felt betrayed again, this time by myself. Stefan and I sat in the darkened auditorium and listened to the lecture. The main speaker was one of the cosmonauts returning from the first mission to the Mars colony. He was the chief engineer of the mission, and spent a year at the colony working mostly in near-isolation in the pod that provided access to the computers that kept the colony going. I could identify with the solitude he described in relating his experiences. I'd been alone for many years, now. Stefan sat in rapt attention, taking notes on his electronic pad, filling the screen, scribbling. He took to this with the intensity that only an artist of words could. Yes, he did write very well. I recall the polemics he wrote that later were smuggled through the fence. Yes, messages of hope and defiance. Pretty little words that eventually landed us all here. On Mars, I suppose. The speaker was familiar. He was one of the two mission participants from the Western Hemisphere. The cosmonaut was from Trinidad, and talked about his childhood, raising horses with his family. Talked rather wistfully of riding a pony along the surf. While listening, I smiled, thinking of ponies on Mars. The cosmonaut talked of the dust storms that blew from the mountain range into the deep valley where the colony was situated; describing the dangers the colonists faced as the high winds buffeted the small, hardened pods that dotted the valley. They had been spread out in distance far enough for a quick walk in full gear in the thin Martian atmosphere. He explained this helped lessen the wind speed associated with a tunnel effect found in urban areas during storms. A good-sized piece of titanium used in the unsecured heavy equipment at the colony could pierce the pod walls. Even with the sophisticated weather gauging instruments at his command, it was often too soon to see a windstorm before they were able to move all the equipment into the hangers. As he talked, I continued to feel sympathy for his loneliness in performing his duties. He told that at times he was alone in the engineering pod for as much as a week, checking on life support, energy and above all, the weather. His only contact was with his commander, who remained at the colony. He spoke of her with a certain longing. I could tell by the change of tone in his voice. It was softer, poetically heartbreaking as he described their intense relationship during times of crisis, and the languid longer-than-Earth hours when there was little to do. He obviously loved her. I was moved by his words. Yet, this cosmonaut had to be the one to return. The commander was due to leave in six months. I wished their future well.

After the question time, where the gathered reporters asked the cosmonaut dumb questions about sustainability, terraforming and the like, I motioned for Stefan to follow me. The interview with Goltz was in a conference room at the end of the corridor behind the auditorium. Goltz waited at the door as various individuals, including the cosmonaut, passed through. After I introduced Stefan, Goltz took Stefan gently by the shoulder and led him through the door. Goltz turned to me before the guard closed the double doors. "I already got the call from upstairs. He's got the job." I shrugged. "Cool. So how long is this?" "He should be done in two hours. If it is longer, I will call." "Okay then, I will wander. Good luck." I wandered through the park near the Cathedral, brooding about the choices I made. I made my way to a bench far from the granite fountain, a gift from the French Third Republic dating from 1880, honoring the 50th anniversary of Antanzian independence, citing its commitment to the principles of liberty. I read the inscription often when I stop in the park. I do not do it as much anymore. The words are written in four languages, and reading them helped me learn two of them, and the third a little better. Carved on the granite is a quote by Jose de San Martin. A military leader, he played the decisive role in the liberation of Argentina, Chile and Peru. Late in life, San Martin assisted the Antanzians in negotiating their own freedom, using words as his saber in a complicated series of negotiations with the Argentines, Brazilians and the British. If not for that, I would not be here, and so I look at those words a little differently on this day. This line always struck me as apropos, particularly more so in the moment I am living in: "The conscience is the best and most impartial judge that a righteous man has." A few blocks away sits a cosmonaut waiting for a woman on Mars, while being interviewed by a man who betrayed me. Caused me pain. Destroyed others. Yes, he is being protected, and I believe I will never know why. This is a terrible piece of judgment, but people above my rank made a decision. My conscience is torn between choosing whether I will be Klein, or be Wagner. Both drowned. I would rather not be either. Stefan likely faces the same contradiction from the decisions he made. Perhaps he isn't mad, sadistic or stupid. There is something else at play in that man's mind. It struck me then that there is the possibility he is capable of feeling guilt. That will do. I can accept that. I have a life I do not want to lose. When I was told to help Stefan out and be his agent, I am left with no choice. I did not like the decision I struggled to reach, finding it personally immoral, but wisdom prevailed. I stare up. As I scan the sky I try to find Mars. I cannot see it, but the planet is there, behind the cumulus formed at the left. I will pick Stefan from the Neuenschwander, give him an advance check for the project and drop him off at the train station. He returns to his house in the woods to his Patricia, either as Klein or Wagner. Whoever Stefan comes home as matters nothing to me, because I will collect my fee. Goltz is quick with the paperwork. I'll get the check by the end of the week. I return to my home with my conscience intact.

This aircraft is currently exhibited in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly, Va From the NASM website: The Boeing P-26A of the mid-to-late 1930s introduced the concept of the high-performance, all-metal monoplane fighter design, which would become standard during World War II. A radical departure from wood-and-fabric biplanes, the Peashooter nonetheless retained an open cockpit, fixed landing gear, and external wing bracing. Most P-26As stationed overseas were eventually sold to the Philippines or assigned to the Panama Canal Department Air Force, a branch of the U.S. Army Air Corps. Several went to China and one to Spain. This one was based at Selfridge Field in Michigan and Fairfield Air Depot in Ohio between its acceptance by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1934 and its transfer to the Canal Zone in 1938. It was given to Guatemala in 1942 and flew in the Guatemalan air force until 1954. Guatemala donated it to the Smithsonian in 1957.

GSU researcher takes deep dive into Summerhill’s fascinating, turbulent history

“Summerhill has undergone multiple sweeping metamorphoses over the past decades, from which Georgia Avenue was not spared,” writes Dr. Marni Davis

With new Summerhill businesses opening, heavy machinery growling at construction sites, and a college football team settled into the former Major League Baseball stadium nearby, Georgia Avenue’s era as an abandoned, boarded-up retail strip might seem distant.

The reality, however, is that those desolate days weren’t long ago.

What might be harder to remember, though, is that Summerhill—one of Atlanta’s oldest African-American neighborhoods—was also once flourishing with retail activity and diverse, communal pride, long before Georgia State University and developer Carter began transforming the area.

“Summerhill has undergone multiple sweeping metamorphoses over the past decades, from which Georgia Avenue was not spared,” writes Dr. Marni Davis, associate professor of history at GSU.

Streetscape Palimpsest: A History of Georgia Avenue

Georgia Avenue, from Pulliam Street to Martin Street, in 1892

Davis has recently been crafting the “Streetscape Palimpsest: A History of Georgia Avenue,” a website dedicated to chronicling Georgia Avenue’s roller coaster existence. It’s planned to be part of a larger work.

“Before World War II, Georgia Avenue was lined with grocery markets and restaurants, shoe repair shops and convenience stores, butchers and bakers and ice cream makers, even a movie theater,” she writes.

Below are a few key points from Davis’s research that shed light on the ups and downs that have made Summerhill what it is today.

Summerhill used to be two neighborhoods

In the late 1800s, after the Civil War, what’s now considered the east side of Summerhill became “one of Atlanta’s first African-American enclaves” populated largely by freedmen and freedwomen.

To the west and south of that area, wealthy white businesspeople and government officials controlled what many referred to as “the Southside.”

Then, Capitol Avenue was essentially the racial dividing line, with white schools, businesses, and other public institutions to the west and a black community to the east.

Streetscape Palimpsest: A History of Georgia Avenue

Yellow represents the Southside, and purple is Summerhill. Orange lines were streetcar tracks.

Old streetcar lines show how “racial inequality was built into the streets themselves”

A map of streetcar tracks from the early 1920s shows how minuscule the city’s current light rail system is. And it indicates how transportation infrastructure was once designed to favor whites over blacks.

“Georgia Avenue’s streetcar line was one of only two east-west lines serving the city’s southeast quadrant,” writes Davis. “Additional streetcar lines ran from the southern city limits along Capitol, Washington, Central, and Pryor, connecting residents to the city’s political and economic center.”

Summerhill residents didn’t have such ease of access and had to walk blocks and make track transfers to reach public services that more affluent white neighbors visited at their leisure.

“Further, while many of Summerhill’s streets remained unpaved decades into the 20th century, white Southsiders prevailed upon the City Council to regrade and repave Georgia Avenue, then a white residential street, so it might serve as a major artery moving people from Grant Park to the West End.”

Georgia Avenue becomes action-packed in the ’20s and ’30s

Georgia Avenue, stretching through Summerhill and the Southside, became a designated retail district in the 1920s, thanks to new city zoning ordinance maps.

“By 1930, one would find along Georgia Avenue branches of national grocery chains, such as the Great A&P Tea Company, and outposts of local chains, such as Jacobs Pharmacy,” Davis writes. “Eleven grocers, nine general merchandise markets, a butcher, a bakery, several hand laundry and dry cleaning establishments, a barber, and two shoe repair shops amply served the day-to-day household and service needs of the residents of Summerhill and the Southside.”

In 1928, a movie theater opened that even allowed people of all races to purchase tickets. Still, black patrons had to use the side doors and sit up in the balcony, while white folks claimed the floor seats.

The Southside bows to the automobile craze

In the 1930s, the once-wealthy and powerful Southside became known as a “neighborhood in decline,” according to Davis’s research.

As the automobile became popular, the area’s narrow streets and lots without driveways became a turnoff for motorists.

Plus, it didn’t help that many rich white people then sought more modern homes than what the neighborhood had to offer, and were moving to what constituted the suburbs to find them.

“But the primary reason for the neighborhood’s changing status was race,” writes Davis. “Atlanta’s white city leaders believed that mixed-race neighborhoods hurt real estate values and imperiled public safety. So they sought to make residential neighborhoods as racially and ethnically homogeneous as possible, primarily for the protection of real estate values in white neighborhoods.”

Years later, the Southside and Summerhill look (marginally) more integrated

In the 1940s and ’50s, the line dividing the Southside and Summerhill by race was becoming increasingly “porous,” per Davis.

More and more white business owners were opening up shops in Summerhill, “where their customers included the neighborhood’s ample black middle class.”

Black families even made up large portions of residential streets that had long been considered within white neighborhoods, “though they were often relegated to ‘rear’ rentals in the back of homes or apartments, or to makeshift alley shacks.”

Here comes the highway

The late 1950s brought more crucial changes to Summerhill, especially with the construction of the expressway along the Southside.

“Summerhill had already felt the effects of an earlier, massive municipal project, when the neighborhood’s northernmost blocks were demolished in 1940 to make room for the whites-only Capitol Homes public housing project,” writes Davis. “Hundreds of African-American families lost their homes, and were forced to move into increasingly crowded segregated neighborhoods—an omen of the residential displacement soon to come.”

The massive interchange planned to rip through the Southside was to be the biggest of its kind east of the Mississippi River.

Once the razing of the Southside began, damaging “urban renewal” efforts were kicked into high gear.

“By the end of the decade, the Federal Housing Authority had approved Atlanta’s program for ‘slum clearance’ projects in three older, poorer, and primarily African-American neighborhoods to the east, south, and west of the central business district,” according to Davis’s research.

Decades of unending evolution

This roundup, of course, does not paint a comprehensive picture of the times and trials of Georgia Avenue and modern-day Summerhill.

The neighborhood also witnessed the rise and fall of one stadium, the construction and conversion of another, the razing of historic buildings, and the introduction of new developments and businesses.
