We’re celebrating women! With a series of events and activities organized by Human Resources and student-led clubs Women at Work, Student Government, and Shanghai Run Club, the week’s International Women’s Day programming blends dialogue with community-based events.

• Last Friday, Verbalux, a new interactive installation designed by IMA Assistant Arts Professor Andy Garcia in collaboration with Spanish artist Miguel Moreno Mateos, was unveiled at the IMA Art Gallery (N306). The machine analyzes public content, for example speeches by world leaders or CEOs, tracking which words are repeated or deliberately avoided — and then engraves them onto stone in real time using a laser. The work questions whether a word’s meaning can truly be preserved, revealing how repetition can both reinforce and erode language in an age shaped by digital power and artificial intelligence.
