Whatever it is you want from this world, whatever unnamable thing beyond the stratum of rational thought, you will find it in milk. Imagine water, but with more emotion\u2014that\u2019s milk. Beer for the soul\u2014it\u2019s milk! A liquid that\u2019s also a medium and a metaphor\u2014milk. Should you doubt its sway over human affairs, ask yourself this: If the land of milk and honey were merely the land of honey, would you still regard it as paradise? Embarking on what they call a \u201cjourney of lactic abstraction,\u201d Melanie Jackson and Esther Leslie have written a penetrating meditation on all things milky in the new issue of <em>Cabinet<\/em>. The news isn\u2019t all good; humans have not been good to milk of late. Part of it goes like this: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/cabinetmagazine.org\/issues\/62\/jackson_leslie.php\" target=\"_blank\">The McFlurry, Mr. Whippy, Dairy Queen Blizzard, Cheese String, Dreaming Cow, Laughing Cow, Skinny Cow, Happy Cow, Crusha, Marvel\u2014these dairy icons perform health and the abuse of health; an array of high-calorie, high-fat, low-calorie, low-fat, high-sugar, sugar-free, highly processed glimmer, with techno-scientific, multicolor, hedonistic, and eroticized appeal<\/a>. These are the products of aggressive marketing, of low-margin, highly complex modes of manufacture. Dairy turns airy in ice creams that swell up with nothingness injected \u2026 Milk\u2019s propensity for animation, for shape-shifting and transformation, teams it commercially with a bestiary of cartoon avatars and a dazzling spectrum of synthetic colors. Milk is frozen into colorful crystals with personality for a teeming frozen-treats market whose products bear ever less tangible relations to milk. In this format, milk adopts any and every shape, that of superheroes or cartoon villains, baroque architectonics or body parts. The cow, used frequently as a metaphor for the passive, dumb, and exploited, is replaced by wily, smart-talking animals and apocryphal consumers of its milk\u2014cats, rabbits, mice\u2014leaving only a vestigial hint of the originating animality.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Vauhini Vara has spent some quality time at spelling bees and wonders about the increasing prominence of Indian Americans as brilliant spellers: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/harpers.org\/archive\/2017\/05\/bee-brained\/?single=1\" target=\"_blank\">For the past decade, Indian Americans have dominated the Scripps National Spelling Bee\u2014among last year\u2019s top ten were seven Indian spellers<\/a> \u2026 Even the most well-meaning attempts to understand the dominance of Indian-American spellers can be reductive. Shalini Shankar, an anthropologist at Northwestern University who is writing a book about spelling culture, told me that people ask her all the time if there is something inherent in the Indian brain that makes it well suited to this sort of competition\u2014maybe a spelling gene? It\u2019s legitimate, of course, to wonder why kids of Indian origin keep conquering Scripps, despite making up a relatively small proportion of the population. When I put this question to Paige Kimble, the director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, she said, \u2018It seems to me that more and more South Asians have integrated, and as they do so, they do what immigrant populations do, and that is to work very hard to be successful in their new country. I think that\u2019s absolutely the dynamic in place that impacts the Bee.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>David OReilly\u2014who dropped the apostrophe from his name, maybe to troll the spellers of the world\u2014has made a new video game, Everything, that\u2019s as inchoate as it sounds. Laura Parker writes, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/story.californiasunday.com\/oreilly-the-art-of-everything\" target=\"_blank\">There are no clear objectives, no rewards, no sense of progression<\/a>. The only purpose, if it can be characterized as such, is to interact with and inhabit any object on the screen. In other words, anything you see, you can be. A rock. A cedar. A sun. How long you explore the game as any given object is entirely your choice. The purpose of\u00a0Everything\u00a0is so simple, so untethered to traditional gaming conventions, that it\u2019s easy to worry about whether you\u2019re playing it right. But the game encourages players to let go of those anxieties. \u2018Don\u2019t get discouraged,\u2019 a towering cedar might say. \u2018Everything here is to help you.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>FLAG Art Foundation is hosting \u201cThe Times,\u201d an exhibition of art about, including, or otherwise employing the Gray Lady. Artists love to use the <em>Times<\/em>\u2014the foundation\u2019s call for submissions yielded more than four hundred\u00a0responses\u2014and Margaret Carrigan has surveyed some of the pieces, including one by Lauren Seiden that embodies \u201cthe objecthood of history\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/article\/artsy-editorial-artists-reclaiming-new-york-times\" target=\"_blank\">Seiden\u2019s sculpture,\u00a0<em>The Future Is Lost in Yesterday\u2019s News\u00a0<\/em>(2016), [is] made up of\u00a0<em>Times\u00a0<\/em>papers that she sourced from her apartment building\u2019s recycling bin over the course of eight months<\/a>. She read them all, then glued the pages together, drew on them with graphite until they were completely effaced, and stacked them on top of each other to create an imposing gray monolith \u2026 Towering over the average viewer, the work becomes a kind of monument that memorializes the idea of \u2018yesterday.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tim Culvahouse studies Virginia Hanusik\u2019s photos of New Orleans, which aim to divorce the city from the myths of abundance and excess that have settled around its tourism industry: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/placesjournal.org\/article\/impossible-city-new-orleans\/\" target=\"_blank\">The New Orleans of popular imagination is loud and colorful, often crowded, in your face<\/a>.\u00a0Certainly Bourbon Street is, so Virginia Hanusik\u2019s picture at sunrise is a minor revelation. The last bars have closed, at four or five, and all that\u2019s left is the sour smell of oysters, vomit, and stale beer. Every so often, in the cool drift from an open door, there comes a sweet trace of dark liquors, breathed out from shadowed wood. Cigarette smokers splash disinfectant across the sidewalk and hose it into the gutter. Shops put out their garbage, a simmering potpourri. These smells are always there, but you notice them more in the early hours of the day, when the distractions are few, when the neon has been switched off and the bands have gone home, when almost everyone is somewhere else.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s arts and culture news: a meditation on all things lactic;
