Film reviews: Ex Machina | A Most Violent Year
Some may regard Ex Machina as a movie cousin of Charlie Brookers dystopian future Black Mirror series, but Garlands film has a mood and a mind of its own, as well as a funny, creepy, synchronised dancefloor number that Brooker might purloin if he.

The Muse and Architect as One, Propagating Immortal Forms
After the pallbearers lay the coffin of Frank Lloyd Wright on the rain-soaked earth in Geometry of Miracles, Robert Lepages somber meditation on the events and ideas that informed the work of the visionary architect, Wrights widow, Olgivanna, steps forward for what one might assume will be the requisite parting gesture. Well, there is a gesture, although not the expected one: Olgivanna, played by Marie Brassard, pries open the lid, reaches in and collects the corpses hat, cane and overcoat, which she drapes over her shoulders, and walks away..

FINDING good educational software is a daunting task; of all the programs released each year, only a handful are worth installing on the hard disk. Finding good software for young children is especially tricky, since it must combine strong educational content with exceptional ease of use.

Serbian Media Is a One-Man Show
THE Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic, the propaganda maestro of the Balkans, rarely appears on state television. When he does, he insures that it is in grand style. At his swearing-in as President of the Yugoslav federation last month, the camera showed him seated in the front row of the federal Parliament, pug faced and steely gazed. Supplicants lined up to shake his hand. There was loving footage of him as he, his wife and daughter, all dressed in black, and his son with peroxided hair rode off in a six-door Mercedes flanked by guardsmen in Tito-era uniforms. Mr. Milosevic choreographed virtually every camera angle of the ceremony, say those who have worked inside Serbian Television and Radio. This is not too difficult since he allows only one cameraman, Miki Cetrovic, to film him. Hatred Disguised. Pres Slobodan Milosevics total control over propaganda of Serbian media discussed; photos; state television, which has fed Serbs with undiluted diet of nationalism for ten years, now concentrates on keeping Milosevic in power, using what journalist Dragan Cicic calls primitive simplicity and unchecked hatred (S)

Spreading The Network
THIS MONTH marks the 10th anniversary of the I.B.M. PC, a tool that has profoundly affected modern education. Many educators believe, however, that the next decade will bring a shift in emphasis away from personal computers and toward systems of networked computers. The shift reflects the recognition that the real strength of personal computers lies in their role as communications devices, rather than as computational engines. According to Quality Education Data Inc. of Denver, a market-research company that tracks technology purchases by elementary and secondary schools, nearly 38,400 schools in 3,120 school districts reported having some type of computer network in the 1990-91 academic year, roughly twice the numbers for 1988-89. Even so, networks are in place in only 20 percent of all school districts with computers -- mostly larger, affluent suburban school districts, according to Jeanne Hayes, president of the firm.

THEATER: A Symbolic Nation Aspires to the International; A Bold Québécois Who Blends Art With Technology
SINCE it opened on New Years Eve 1919, the Roseland Ballroom has evolved from a Depression-era dance hall to a big-band mecca to its current incarnation as the host for a range of attractions, from major rock concerts to gay circuit parties and tattoo conventions. This week, this legendary Manhattan dance palace has an opportunity to hurtle into the 21st century with the New York premiere of Zulu Time, a techno-cabaret created by the adventurous Canadian director Robert Lepage and his theater ensemble, Ex Machina, in collaboration with the rock star Peter Gabriels production company, Real World. The show, a two-hour spectacle designed to wed the latest media technology with theatrical narrative, unfolds on a giant scaffold structure in the middle of the auditorium with walkways that move horizontally and vertically. It features, among other things, six robot monsters, upside-down tango dancers, a D.J. spinning discs and a Peruvian contortionist borrowed from Cirque du Soleil. It is the centerpiece of Quebec New York 2001, a two-month festival celebrating Québécois culture, and it will have 11 performances from Friday through Oct. 9..

The Computer Revolution Revised
LEAD: REMARKABLE new technology is introduced into the school system and experts predict education will be revolutionized. The technology will, as never before, allow the widespread dissemination of new concepts and ideas that will stimulate young minds and free the teacher for more creative pursuits. Yet the magic fails to materialize, and within a few years articles appear in the popular press asserting that the failure, obviously, arises from teachers not being skilled enough in the new technology.
Computer Science Is Going Down
A great deal of attention is paid to computers as tools in education, but less to computers as a subject. Though computers are increasingly important in society, and though the computer industry generates thousands of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars a year, the number of students majoring in computer science in college is declining in the United States. The cause for the decline is not clear, but the effects are already being felt. The International Business Machines Corporation says its own internal hiring needs for computer science Ph.Ds is greater than the entire supply produced by American universities each year. Software companies say they cannot find enough top-caliber programmers. Universities are turning to foreign-trained computer science faculty members. Small businesses say they cannot find workers with solid computing skills.

Peeking at Someone Who Thinks Hes Alone
The Far Side of the Moon, a theater piece written, directed and performed by the Canadian theater artist Robert Lepage, is being offered as part of the Henson International Festival of Puppet Theater, but its not puppetry that commands the stage -- its Mr. Lepage. Indeed, the puppets here are decidedly secondary figures, not much more than props. Theyre done up as astronauts, and they make only a handful of brief appearances as dream figures; theyre part of the metaphorical backdrop of this show, which posits the race to the moon by the United States and the former Soviet Union as a kind of sibling rivalry, and space exploration in general as a symbol of the desperate rooting around in the dark that characterizes human relationships..
