In 1867, a beautiful ship named the Mary Celeste left
the coast of New York. The captain was a man named
Benjamin Briggs, and he brought his family and crew to
transport 1,700 barrels of alcohol to Italy. They never
made it to their destination. The boat was found floating
safely in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores Islands, on
December 5, 1872. This did not look like a pirate attack,
because nothing was stolen, and all of the paper documents were still on board. The only thing missing
was the people.

The Shakespeare authorship question
The Shakespeare authorship question is a theory
(which was first proposed during the Victorian Era) that
William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poems
which were accredited to him. [...]
Believers of the alternative authorship theory often
argue that William Shakespeare lacked the education,
aristocratic sensibility and familiarity with the royal courts
which is clearly evident in his works. Personally, I would
say that as a dedicated reader of Shakespeare’s works,
many of these claims do not seem to be supported by any
reasonable evidence.
I would suggest that this theory derives from a deeply
embedded prejudice rooted in the English class system
(most marked during the Victorian Era, when the
authorship question first gained widespread credence).
Certainly, Shakespeare came from relatively humble
beginnings, and was not a member of royalty or part of
the nobility – but, I argue, that is no reason to suppose
that someone from his background could not write as well
as he did, or accrue the wealth, position and influence in
London theatrical society that he did. […]
This is where the implications for people reading
Shakespeare today 400 years on are most important.
How can we read (and be taught) Shakespeare’s plays,
if we can never really understand the complete context of their composition, the time in which they were written
and, yes, the prejudice and controversy that still engulfs
them.

Read this piece of sport news and answer the
following question:
Nikola Jokic’s Historic Triple-Double leads
Nuggets over Kings.
In a stunning display of basketball prowess, Nikola
Jokic’ of the Denver Nuggets achieved a rare 35-
point, 22-rebound, and 17-assist triple-double
against the Sacramento Kings, marking the first
such performance since Wilt Chamberlain. This
game was part of Jokic’s impressive run of five
consecutive triple-doubles, with his latest feat
accomplished before the fourth quarter even
began. Jokic’s performance was highlighted by a
remarkable long-range shot attempt, which, while
not confirmed as one of the longest in NBA history,
certainly added to the spectacle of the night. The
Nuggets clinched a 132-123 victory, with fans and
analysts alike lauding Jokic’s skills, suggesting he
might be the best player in the world today and
potentially one of the greatest ever.

Text 1A3-II
The argument for the existence of life in different places in
the universe can lead to endless and aimless (but fascinating)
speculation. Why assume that aliens so far advanced
technologically are still bound by the chains of aging bodies?
As we see our own technology advancing, and our minds
becoming ever more entangled with digital devices, we can
envision a kind of transhuman future whereby our mind’s
essence, what we (loosely) identify with our inner self and
memories, becomes immaterial, soullike, tethered to reality
through information alone. In his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey,
Arthur C. Clarke speculated that aliens would have broken away
from carbon-based and robotic machine structures so “that the
mind would eventually free itself from matter (…) and if there is
anything beyond that, its name could only be God.”
This is where astrotheology begins, as we envision aliens
as the techno-version of godlike creatures, with the obvious
subtext that one day we are going to get there too. So, not only is
their technology magic to us, but their very existence becomes
equivalent to a supernatural presence — omniscient,
omnipresent, and undetectable by our feeble human senses and
machines. Such aliens are indistinguishable from gods inhabiting
the heavenly realm, being as elusive as countless deities have
been throughout human history. They exist only in that intangible
dimension of faith.

Text 1A3-I
Art and technology have long inspired each other, but
recent advancements are driving their fusion like never before.
From AI-generated art and immersive experiences to new
ownership models, the creative landscape is evolving in ways we
could barely imagine a few years ago. This fusion of creativity
and innovation isn’t just adding to the world of art. It’s
redefining it, making us rethink what art can be and who has the
tools to create it. One such innovation is interactive art.
With interactive art, artists can break down traditional
boundaries between the creator and the viewer. Participatory art
involves the audience directly, allowing them to influence the
outcome of the artwork itself. Artists are using technologies like
motion tracking, sensors, and facial recognition to create
installations that change based on viewer movement, expression,
or even mood.
This level of interactivity invites viewers to move from
passive observation to active participation, making them a part of
the artwork’s story. This trend reflects a cultural shift toward
collaboration and personalization, where audiences expect to be
involved in the creative experience. Participatory art installations
are not only transforming gallery experiences but also allowing
viewers to experience art as an unfolding story that changes with
each interaction.
