A new video essay by Astria Suparak, part of an art exhibition on A.I. at Oxy Arts, interrogates why science fiction films often depend on Asian cultures without centering them.

, exists as a database of science-fiction films that incorporate Asian culture as a shorthand to telegraph futurism while failing to develop real storylines and characters for Asian actors within these universes.

“I started off as just another viewer of sci-fi and escapist fantasy just to decompress after work, but it’s impossible, at least for me, to not notice how Asian cultures are used in this genre,” Suparak, who grew up in Los Angeles, tells. “When I knew I wanted to work on this project I started by watching the films that I had access to and cataloging the obvious visual markers of Asian-ness that I recognized on first watch.

Hot Smoked Salmon, Soba and Asian Greens Salad Recipe on Food52Hot Smoked Salmon, Soba and Asian Greens Salad Recipe on Food52I got hooked on hot-smoked salmon while living in England where my corner fishmonger sold me some of his personally recommended local stuff. I had to limit myself to buying this only once a week. It was sweet and salty, firm and creamy all at the same time. The “hot” here doesn’t mean spice. It’s the temperature at which the smoking process occurs (between 145-150 degrees Fahrenheit), which fully cooks the fish, giving it a light pink silken internal texture a tawny, smoky skin. I used it in maki rolls, with asparagus and hollandaise and in my daughter’s lunchbox. And I concocted this Asian-inspired noodle salad which has a good contrast of flavor, texture and color. You may be able to find good hot smoked salmon where you live and by all means use it to make this salad as a very easy, very cool dinner on a hot night. I, unfortunately can’t get my hands on the good stuff in Central PA, so I’ve learned to hot smoke my own salmon for this recipe using a stovetop smoking contraption involving my wok, a bunch of tin foil and the lid of my lobster pot, a trick adeptly demonstrated by former New York Times Magazine food writer and current Chow.com food editor Jill Santopietro.
