ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS Over the past 18 months, Russia s successful intervention in Syria supercharged MOSCOW S position in the region. The Kremlin's unlikely new best friend is Turkey, a NATO member and centuries-old foe 0f Russia. Just a year ago, when Turkey shot down a Russian plane after a 17-second incursion intO Turkish airspace, Putin was furious; in retaliation, he ordered the sus- pension Of Russian charter tourist flights t0 Turkey and imposed sanc- tions on Turkish goods. Since then tWO things have trans- formed the relationship between Moscow and Ankara: Assad's victory in Aleppo, and the failed July coup that prompted Erdogan tO initiate a purge Ofhis opponents, earning crit- icism from the U. S. and Europe alike. ln response tO stinging rebukes from hiS one-time allies in Brussels and Washington, Erdogan has turned tO his "friend Vladimir ” in Russia. "Without Russia it is impossible to find a solution to the problems in syria," Erd0- gan said in a Russian TV interview in August be fore visiting Putin in St. Pete rsburg. The axis of friendship between Moscow and Ankara will be restored. At the same time, Erdogan acknowledged that his relationship with Obama was disap- pointing. The Obama administration refused t0 cease support for Kurdish anti-ISIS fighters ln northern Syria and it has declined tO extra- dite Fethullah Gülen, a U.S. -based cleric who is an Erdogan foe, t0 Turkey. As a result, Turkish offcials have openly questioned America s use Of the strategic lncirlik base in Adana, near the Syrian border. Erdogan has urged Turkish P01- iticians tO re-evaluate their "fixation with the EU and instead consider joining the Chinese-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which Moscow also favors. ln January, for the first time, Russian and Turkish warplanes participated in J0int airstrikes against ISIS. The new friendship may be "transactional, says Fadi Hakura, head 0f the Turkey project at London-based think tank Chatham House, but it ancient city 0f palmyra from ISIS—though most Russian airstrikes were against U. S. -backed rebel groups in the center Of the country. Moscow flew in its greatest conductor, Valery Gergiev, and his Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra t0 play before an audience Of international journalists in the ancient theater at Palmyra, which ISIS had earlier used as a venue for public executions. A publicity stunt, sure—but a highly effective one. Russia s success in palmyra didn't last long— but that hasn't seemed tO matter. ln December, troops left and ISIS ret00k the city. The Krem- lin blamed lack of cooperation from the U. S. for the defeat and Moscow has seldom mentioned Palmyra smce. But now with Aleppo in regime hands and the peace process being run by Moscow, the new U. S. administration has little influence on the Syrian endgame either diplomatically or on the ground.

Modernism Week: Palm Springs, Feb 怖ー 26 : MODERNISMWEEK.GOM FREE OF THE White House, on January 20 Barack and Michelle Obama flew tO Palm Springs, California, the desert resort where they are rumored t0 be buying a home. G00d enough for other former presidents (Gerald Ford and his wife, Betty, lived there after leaving Washington), Palm Springs has long been home to the talented, the famous—and some ofthe lightest and most lithe mid-20th-century architecture. The resort had been booming since the late 1920S , but its aesthetic really t00k shape only after World War II. ln 1947 , having 、一 made his first million, Frank Sinatra drove intO PaIm Springs and ordered a Georgian-style mansion from architect E. Stewart Williams. lnstead, Williams created Twin Palms: an ultramodern, poolside house where H011ywood's Rat pack reveled and Ava Gardner, the future Mrs. Sinatra, hurled crockery at her fiancé. The house was as much a sign ofthe times as Sinatra. A generation Of 、 architects whO had apprenticed with Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, including Richard Neutra, John Lautner and AIbert Frey—whose holiday home is pictured here—were making buildings with similar relaxed geometry and wide, floor-to-ceiling 、 windows.

Nothing in the headlines these days is more important than this: The president Ofthe United States is divorced from reality, unable to tell the difference between the truth and what he wants tO be true. ln August, much Of the American press finally broke out the word "lie" t0 describe many Of Trump's statements, but that's not enough. Reporters must now press the president tO explain if he believes these statements tO be true and why. Plenty 0f politicians deceive, but one WhO cannot discern reality from fiction iS far 1 れ ore dangerous. On January 21 , Trump demanded that White Housepress secretarySeanSpicerinformthepub- lic they could not believe their lying eyes about the size Ofthe crowd at his inauguration because photographers were intentionally deceptive, the reporting was deliberately false, magnetometers kept people out 0f the back areas (they weren t used here), white grass-protectors that gave false impressions Of the size Of the crowd had never been used before (they have been) and on and on. That same day, Trump brought an applause team with him to the CIA's MemorialWall, which honors 117 CIA offcers who died in the line of duty, where they clapped and whooped in a dese- cration Ofthat sacred place as Trump spun more fantasies: that he had been on the cover Of Time magazine more than anyone else in a single year ()e was on the magazine s cover eight times in 2016 ; that is not a record); that God looked down and said He wasn t going to let it rain when Trump gave his inaugural speech ()t did); and, again, about the size Ofthe inaugural crowd. On ビ尾 the next day, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway explained that, in analyzing the size ofthe inaugural crowd, the Trump team had "alternative facts"—Just a small step away from an alternative reality.

And a Toyota Prius. Or a Range Rover. And that's the point: The Blackbird isn't any 0f those cars, but can appear t0 be all 0f them. The Mill, a British visual-effects produc- tion firm, designed it as a fully adjustable car ng that change s size s and handling tO mimic any c ar while " re -skinning it with phOtO -re al computer generated imagery that tricks the eye intO seemg whatever car a film director wants you tO see. The MiII created the BIackbird—named afte r the superfast reconnalssance plane—so itS Slze and shape can change with the push 0f a button while the wheels and suspension can also be easily altered tO copy any car's chassis, and the electric motor can be programme d SO it handle s like virtu- ally any car. The car is eqmpped with cameras and scanners that create a perfect three-dimensional model Of the surrounding e mnronment tO bet- ter bring the car tO life and tO ensure that the reflections on the CG covenng Of the car can be perfectly matched t0 the "reality" 0f its location when the "car ” is added in postproduction. The idea is qulte simple, but what's not simple is making it happ en: capturing the ensnronment perfectly because vehicles are mirrors on wheels and reflect everything back," says Alistair Thomp- son, international executive VICe president for the Mill. And because all the visual details of the car are computer generated they can be easily altered and updated without reshooting anything. Want that Chevy Camaro to be black? NO problem. Thompson also believes it will change how car designers work. "lt's dffcult tO know what a car will really 100k and drive like when you are designing until the later stages, but we can allow car companies tO see the driving With a Skin over the top ofthe Blackbird so they can visualize things earlier and more effectively. Thompson says automotlve compames can use the Blackbird tO create a virtual reality showroom, where the viewer could see hOW a car handles on an actual location but would also have the ability t0 switch the colors and other details, inside and out. "The interactivity will change the process ofbuying a car. ”ロ NEWSWEEK 45 02 / 17 / 2017
