understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the wild. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to you. al-jazeera. digital technology is a mess and you see an easement and even longer not. even a g.g. billions of calculations in our pockets it seems interest coverage 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 a new generation of bookie easiness skills to challenge the tech giants. and enable a different technological future. one where people are not the product.
1:22 pm
will do just need to walk. 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 a lot of these cases that could best be very fragile. stephanie so. there's a bit. of a i've a strong sense of urgency to see a launch. what i was aware of though is my sense of urgency can often turn out my better judgment and i. it assists of doing something that is just
1:23 pm
simply. a high risk you still want to write off my plan but if they're going to bite off. they're going to write. with a godless. julien's i don't. face those and quite sometime of course myself a critical engineer also an artist but a 1st 1st 1st and foremost a critic engineer. one of the things that i do mind work is to create projects which engender a healthy paranoia. with projects like i like men and men in gray which was 2009. we wandering around the area cities trista's in gray

suits with suitcases that had displays on them. collecting and harvesting checked stations and websites. and presenting on the surface of this briefcase. we chiefs have 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 moments jaws open wary people good friends running over checking. many of us have known for a long time and even warned 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
1:25 pm
news tweet box came in appear at the news or read on that wireless network. you can manipulate sporting results or electoral results will use headlines. we see the logo me see the graphics and 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 the skies from the earth to the
1:26 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 it works on my blog 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. terms. we start to learning about drawings and the role a lot from the use of drones by day u.s. military contractors in places like thought i was just part of pakistan in him and in somalia there was useful surveillance are dirt to be persistently in the year and it's collecting everything to all the waves just them signals photography infra
1:27 pm
red we know but a little hole over about the actual peroration of surveillance drones 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 payload of our of our project is the very 1st version and it is it contains with radio frequency equipment. a very 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 15 and 20 hour kilometers above the earth that's when you would really be above a drop and the satellites that they're getting to with one of the hopes is that
1:28 pm
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 of the neck that and it comes all the way back down again . we have a bunch of different bits and tell us for receiving different kinds of reducing ups this one goes from 0 to 30 megahertz that that's a lot of marine naval military stuff with is on time and we 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 it out 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
1:29 pm
it up there and and then let it do its work in the movie able to make further adjustments and improve its. improve its performance. the 1st launching a series. we're just doing a full power start up test we don't 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.
1:30 pm
judio. i think it. read receptive then restart it. i mean there's the 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 secret that you just loved. was there's not enough troops already so we're really on the on this basis. we just
1:31 pm
horribly behind him get in the big jobs and. here's the not actually. yours in his fitness reach not last night i for the day before was quite good you didn't have any and i know this went. well that's not good and. i really came off until you have truly lost or just bloody my. it is it's a new season it's a good disease to have. i think that's why. there isn't one large contingency and that's the airspace or thirty's you want to have just launched a balloon with a big shiny bore underneath full of computational couldn't without the paperwork a lot of paperwork i think. we're going.
1:32 pm
to be safe. we will get a new battery tomorrow morning. because we really don't want it to fail. the hof or 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 that extending the surveillance of our office. and we have basically have no one. really momentum going the other way.
1:33 pm
it's very important to look at and draw stuff they use for surveillance to collect data. it's creating an archive that is 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 fear of law. i would say human rights regulations. the drum in itself is just a flying object what matters is what kind of to what is being attacked and who is using that information.
1:34 pm
in psychiatry's an extra antenna to pretend to be one of the official ones and makes the device communicate with them so it can be listened to. it's common enough and psychiatrists are being muscled news by law enforcement in many countries and we know that and i'm sick of as i use 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
1:35 pm
a lot of interest in making sure that we the people don't know about us and don't know the extent of it so how else to learn some hardware what else i mean when i through him. 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 110 grams together and sending 110 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.
1:36 pm
but it will give us hopefully a couple of 1000 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 it for a few hours. hopefully we will see together. 22. to go. here go. in with the other person just.
1:37 pm
never getting to yes. 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 mysterious how to choose the eccles and the satellites that i talk to. where i'm 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 out of chute of 25.4 kilometers and and that would have 10158 minutes to get there. 100 for 58 minutes to boost. we're just looking at a calculating how high it will get into and how much he leaves required because
1:38 pm
that indicates the the drift of the balloon potentially and it can make a difference between 20 kilometers and 200 kilometers this is ok for us. but really . when london home. yami had to be painted to nice and polish some polish and least the basic greetings and. i knew the fama family's farm and polish things bob was 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 . my connection at the moment is to is to pick a bit of divers were present. at the wynn just come calms down a little bit of good maybe it's it's just hard. so your routine at sea would be to launch now and then and then jump in the car and
1:39 pm
1:40 pm
that is free some of the certain kinds of squids the bodies of squid said. there was easily as i reckon it's full of books on both. the male word about the body of the little. lower stress on the neck of the blue. you could have told a string the title is no joke it's like a it's a so don't don't well if it really really really really really really grab any couple to hands on the on the robot. it would be so obviously quite cathartic giving support and so the finish to what is otherwise been quite a bit of work but i'm a little concerned about the way the blue lost for instance for the meterological community is 3 out of 5 last. night. everything this man accompanied in this we're not. really doing this. i worry about going to truly lifts this point i mean it's supposed to. supposed to
1:41 pm
be able to you know so we're just like i shake hands. if that 123. trees. just a little. unbelievable there goes it's pretty. incredible to turn that. went over to. where will this thing go who ever say to go. too i was kind to an off hours came 3 hours kind 4 and 5 and then we started to become a little bit despondent damn you know we haven't. lost track of it so we went to
1:42 pm
bed and put on those last lose most and then sure enough the next morning we're going to finish and then go and we 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 1000 kilometers away which is incredible blue when up to just over 10 kilometers. and then it probably encountered high altitude winds and was pushed east at mess of the mess of speed.
1:43 pm
we believe that the deep sleep was the 1st civilian earth to stratosphere scan is routinely done by military but we believe with the 1st. we 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 former presentation so this is the low. low frequencies this is the mid range and this is 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 the jet it phenomena the saying that there is peaks and drops and and rise of falls much like a mountain range i suppose. the low frequencies are predictably very energetic you've obviously got
1:44 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 not going to be occurring in it's predictably. high we started to see different things the higher we got and we see some very interesting traffic in the the mid range 10 kilometers above the earth and we start seeing activity at 1300 megahertz you know we start seeing this this stuff going on there and what's happening at that at that altitude at 1300 megahertz you know it's curious for us. and then in the high. there were these very interesting sort of last minute bursts. my 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. maybe it's
1:45 pm
a scientific project of some sort maybe it isn't a literary or whatever. there are some very distinct manmade shapes that you can only end in what is that where that doing at that altitude 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 yes 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 says that the mains and not available. will come up with a you know a nice sort of respect how to do that launch get the data and upload it to this
1:46 pm
wiki and then we can start comparing. monitored track one to 5 i'm valued missing data being a new car for weapons your data your identity is a commodity and you have to understand where i'm from or come from us. it is time to reclaim our cyber so should i have to condemn them with something that. we are creators we are archivists we are rebel geeks give us back our data just. the latest news as it breaks local communities here importing are very frustrated because the lack of post storm services with detailed coverage of this last night
