continue but first it is the rebel good in india five million children have genius level i.q. but most live in poverty and go undiscovered one use means to child geniuses fighting for their chance to shine at this time on al-jazeera. digital technology is the promise of intimacy and he's meant and even longer not. in the ability to keep billions of calculations in our pockets it seems to be discovered and he didn't mention. in which everything in our lives can be increased and tracked and intended for money. that is convenience profit and surveillance the only use these powers. now the new generation that will be easy men skills to challenge the tech giants. and enable
12:34 pm
a different technological future. one where people are not the product. of the. book we just need to. we just need to be sure that. you know where the where we're going to work with the blood of if it for instance blows on to these cases that could best be very fragile. stephanus a. very difficult. i have a strong sense of urgency to see a launch. what i was aware of though is my sense of urgency can
12:35 pm
often turn out my better judgment. and i could assist of doing something that is just simply a. high risk it's going to want to break off my land that is going to break up. but they're going to break. with a god that's. i'm julien's i don't. these days and across a time of called myself a critical engineer also an artist but a first first first and foremost a critic engineer one of the things that i do mind work is to create projects which engender a healthy paranoia. approach just like out like min in grade which was two thousand and nine. we wandering around various cities
12:36 pm
trista's in grey suits with suitcases that had done displays on. collecting and harvesting checked stations and websites. and presenting on the surface in this case. we've achieved a lot of paranoia. when you start to show that technology is not necessarily being transparent in itself as to your dealings with it you see some pretty and pretty interesting moment stores i can worry people get new friends running i have a checking. many of us have known for a long time and even who want against the risks of having implicit trust and technology we don't understand most particularly network infrastructure. used to make it as a plug it redirects all of the traffic coming from the russia the owner of that
12:37 pm
news tweet box came in if you know the news read on that wireless network. and you can manipulate sporting results or electoral results will use headlines. you see the logo me see the graphics we think that it's come directly from the b.b.c. to our fine if it's in the media it can be manipulated and you can be manipulated to. engineering is perhaps the most transformative language of our time engineering shapes the way that we move communicate and think . critically generic seeks to look at engineering as something that we need to grapple with on political terms. the deep sleep is a means to read the surveillance infrastructure in our skies from the earth to the
12:38 pm
stratosphere. recently there are a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles that are made by companies whose clients are governments clipping information from saladin that works on my boat communications these aircraft and the communications are outside of the denying of what's understood to be. civilian knowledge. the need to understand what's going on in the terms. we start to learning about drawings and the role a lot from the use of drones by the u.s. military contractors in places like thought i was just part of pakistan in him and in somalia there was useful surveillance aren't there to be persistently in the air and it's collecting everything to all the waves just send signals photography in
12:39 pm
front of it and we know that a little hole over there bowed to actual permissions for millions drawings in country in germany and other places because there's no way of gathering that information most of disapprobation is our secret. so the subject here is what would be referred to as the pile-o. do all of our. project is the very first version and it is it contains with radio frequency equipment. a very small computer. and a micro what's called a microcontroller which is a very simple sort of computer it's designed to go into the stratosphere carried by with a balloon. when you're getting up into fifteen and twenty hour kilometers above the earth that's when you would really be above
12:40 pm
a drop and the satellites that they're getting to one of the hopes is that maybe it will catch a little bit of that kind of thing and we see evidence of communication going going upward. at the point of its absolute peak the balloon bursts and the parachute or the neck that it comes all the way back down again. we have a bunch of different things and tell us for receiving different kinds of reducing ups this one goes from zero to thirty megahertz that that's a lot of marine naval military stuff with this one timer we would find for example mobile phones at least these some tell us are traditionally used to. look at satellites or receive signals from satellites but we're actually pointing at the words to just gigahertz receptions or transmissions from what's going on below where this is in the sky initially we just need to get
12:41 pm
it up there and and then let it do its work in the movie over to make further adjustments and improve its. improve its performance. the first launch in a series. we just during a full power start up test we want to know what we're actually taking out there when we go out there very soon and i fix it. i'll go outside for a little bit. i'm just waiting for it for a g.p.s. fix. this. received the same as from the g.p.s. satellites. if it doesn't have a fix it seems that it doesn't report to the position properly.
12:42 pm
giulio. i think it. read receptive then restored to it. i mean to restart. the connection. not really we have been running for a couple of days on one bettery and that was great but now. all of the batteries just drained extremely quickly and we don't know why. this one. did you just love it was there's not enough troops already so we're really on the ice. we just
12:43 pm
horribly behind get it in the big jumps and. here's the not actually. yours in his fitness reach none last night i fall the day before was quite good you didn't have any and i know this went. well that's not good. enough until you have treated last for just bloody my. it is it's a museum it's a good disease to have. i think it's one. there isn't one large contingency and that's the aerospace with already said. you would have just launched a balloon with a big shiny board underneath it full of computational couldn't without the paperwork a lot of paperwork i think. to
12:44 pm
be safe. we will get a new battery tomorrow morning. because we really don't want it to fail. hoffa something like that. often almost something like. the technology will not go away i would say it's a very serious thing every. time something about how about us governments take one extra step towards. extending so they lots of corrupt us. and that we have basically have no one. really momentum going the other way.
12:45 pm
it's very important to look out and draw stuff to use for surveillance to collect data. it's creating an archive not just very much. this data is being used to define what is the standard behavior of a normal group or person and as an out food what is the outlier behavior and that creates a very sophisticated one way surveillance system. and is operating the grace of law. i was a human rights a regulation. the drawn in so it's just a flying object what matters is what kind of to what is being attached and who is using the information.
12:46 pm
there is an extra antenna that pretends to be one of the official ones and makes a device communicate with them so it can be listened to. it's commonly known and psychiatrists are being muscled news by law enforcement in many countries and we know that i'm sick of as i use on drugs. if you think police departments now acquiring drone technology from small to big build such that they can be fitted with cameras then you can be sure that our skies are going to be full of a hell of a lot of rights compromising mitchell quite clearly there's
12:47 pm
a lot of interest in making sure that we the people don't know about it and don't know the extent of it so how else learn some hardware what else i mean when i still have. the major problem yesterday was the battery and now we have well actually we've got another charger and we've got this and your battery as well. this is hundred and ten grams together and sending hundred ten grams extra up into the stratosphere doesn't make sense so what we're doing is just putting the right kind of connector directly. on this box so we don't have. this dead weight.
12:48 pm
it will give us hopefully a couple of thousand meters of extra altitude before the balloon burst just based on the decreased weight. we're going to launch this thing into the stratosphere and them we will not see them for a few hours. hopefully we will see together. twenty two. to go. here go. in with the other precious. from. never getting stale so.
12:49 pm
it's exciting to explore what is out there when we get the data back we. would have to try to figure out what are the extremists and what a comfort. we have no illusions of flipping i would rate the contents of communication between the mysterious high altitude vehicles and the satellites that i talk to. we are an interested and and fingerprinting devices providing material for people to be able to guess and ultimately determine what is in the skies above the. best attitude of twenty five point four kilometers and that would have one hundred one hundred fifty eight minutes to get there. hundred for fifty eight minutes to boost. we're just looking at calculating how high it will get into that how much he lives are quiet
12:50 pm
because that indicates the the drift of the balloon potentially and it can make a difference between twenty kilometers and two hundred kilometers this is ok for us . but really. when london home. yeah we have to be painted to. polish some polish and least the basic greetings and. i mean the fama family's farm and polish things bob is going to be in there where this is we can't really wait too long because we have pushing for a limited period we were ready we were losing that position as we as it is beach at . micro nice at the moment is to is to pick a bit of diverse work this is. that if it would just come calms down a little bit there's a good vibe it's it's just hard. so
12:51 pm
12:52 pm
it is very some of the certain kinds of squids the bodies of squid see if. there was easily as i reckon it's full of books on both. the male worried about the body of the little. long strips on the neck of the blue . you could have told a string the title is no joke it's like it's a it's a so don't don't well you have to be really really really really really really graphic novel to hands on the on the problem. it would be so obviously quite cathartic having support and sort of finished what is otherwise been quite a bit of work but but a little concerned about the way the blue lost for instance with the meterological community as three out of five last night. everything this man accompanied in this we're not. going to really be doing this.
12:53 pm
i worry about going to really lift this weight i mean it's supposed to. supposed to be able to you know so we're just like i said hands. one two three. trees. just a little. unbelievable there goes it's pretty. incredible to done this. and i was thinking. where will this thing go who ever say to go. to i was kind to an off hours came three hours kind four and five and then we
12:54 pm
started to become a little bit despondent damn you know we haven't. lost track of it so we went to bed and put on all those lawsuits most and then sure enough the next morning we're going to finish and then go and i mean particularly. kaliningrad it's flying over kaliningrad and eventually a very uncomfortable silence from it and then another estimates and it landed in a field near minsk bellerose. several thousand kilometers away which is incredible where he blew it up to just over ten kilometers. and then it probably encountered high altitude winds and was pushed east at a mess of a massive speed. we
12:55 pm
believe that the deep sleep was the first civilian earth to stratosphere scan is routinely done by military but we believe with the first we've got plenty of interesting forms if you like shapes that indicate traffic and activity. if i just drop the scroll bar down we actually see the way forward presentation so this is the low low frequencies this is the mid range and this is the the high frequencies and we see as we go from the dick across like this point to point we see. where there was there was in egypt phenomena the saying that there is peaks and drops and and rises and falls much like a mountain range i suppose. the low frequencies are predictably very energetic you've obviously got
12:56 pm
a lot of moraine more to call astronomical in the sense of radio astronomy you've got a hell of a lot of stuff that is nine to be occurring there and it's predictably. high we started to see different things the higher we got and we see some very interesting traffic in the mid range ten kilometers above the earth and we start seeing activity in it at one thousand three hundred megahertz you know we start seeing this this this stuff going on there and what's happening at that at that altitude at one thousand three hundred megahertz and that's curious for us. and in the high. there were these very interesting sort of last minute bursts. one passenger planes are known to be flying at that time and they're not they're not speaking of those frequencies anyway so. what is that.
12:57 pm
maybe it's a scientific project of some sort maybe it isn't a literary or whatever. there are some very distinct manmade shapes that can only end in what is that one of the doing it that our church i mean this is this is curious. we don't know what it is but it's. it's exciting to know that we can actually get up there and say it and do that. we we caught something obviously there. lots of people can do this it's not illegal to study the air above us insist that the mains and not available . will come up with a you know nice the purpose behind it to do that launch get the data and upload it
12:58 pm
to this wiki and then we can stop comparing. monitored trucks one to five i'm valued to see data the new car for weapons your data your identity is a commodity and we have to understand where i'm from the come from our sleep and it's time to reclaim our cyber so we have to put in them a something that can all be sold we are creators we are optimists we are bravo geeks give us back our data at this time on a does your business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together .
