Smart Networks is a Belarusian project, designed to search for and teach young analysts for the state administration. The project was initiated by the Informational-Analytical Center under the Administration of President of the Republic of Belarus, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus, the Republican Institute of Higher Education, Belarusian State University and Minsk State Linguistic University. In October 2012, the project began with the formations of an analytical community of 150 young people; the Smart Networks project participants are citizens of Belarus who are under thirty-five years of age and who have received at a minimum, a Bachelor or Master's academic degree. They have the analytical ability and interest in political matters to create a product which can be used by the government of Belarus to benefit the state. There is an element of self-development for the participants. Preference in choosing participants was given to those people with Chinese skills. Alexey Macevilo, the project coordinator said, "We started the project because we were searching analysts for our Center.

It is clear. But there are some modern challenges we have to respond. Technology challenges first of all, they do change the society. Social interactions move into cyberspace. We need analysts who are able to work in this environment."and, "Web-community, formed in "Vkontakte" social network, is turning into something bigger than mechanism of selection. In fact it is a core of young analysts network, they are able to handle brainstorming sessions, express-polls, discuss new ideas and projects online."Umnye Seti became a discussion platform for young political analysts. In October 2012, two hundred people competed in a qualifying round: 54% were graduate students, 11% postgraduates. In November 2012 in Minsk, 25 finalists attended a seminar in research methodology and applied political analysis. In January and February 2013, participants worked on individual projects. A social network called Smart Networks became their platform for interaction, exchange of opinions and collaboration. Participants provided material for Alexander Lukashenko's presidential annual State of the Nation Address to the Belarus people and the National Assembly, delivered on 19 April 2013.

Secret Painting, is a series of contemporary art works by Mel Ramsden created between 1967 and 1968. These contemporary art works all consist of a monochrome painting associated with a text panel; this series of monochrome paintings is distinguished from the monochrome paintings produced in the field of visual arts by the accompanying block of text. This text mentions: The content of this painting is invisible: the character and dimension of the content are to be kept permanently secret, known only to the artist.. It is at the same time, a reference to the history of monochrome painting and Malevich's Black Square, an answer given by Mel Ramsden to the paintings of Ad Reinhardt, an American painter and theoretician, a precursor of conceptual and minimal art; these paintings raise the question of the status of the art object and the play, established between the artist and the visitor in the possible revelation of a content. To his great amusement, during the exhibition 1969: The Black Box of Conceptual Art Ann Stephen said: I've known Secret Paintings for a long time, but looking at the back, I realized that there was indeed a secret painting.
