is has to be defended a new. over the world art of freedom freedom of art. a multimedia project about artists and their right to express their views freely. d w dot com or to freedom. i want to welcome to another edition of your own max i'm your host meghan lee as always we have got a packed show in store for you here's a look at what's coming up. alive and kicking scottish band simple minds are back with their new album. the. sacred spaces of the british press harder for the combines the major religion. and healthy and clean

clogging is the new furnace trend from sweden. there are songs that embody the lifestyle of an entire generation in the scottish band simple minds has a song like that in their repertoire don't you forget about me for kids growing up in the one nine hundred eighty s. that hit brings back tons of summer memories and i speak from personal experience well don't you forget about me was made even more famous as the theme song to the hollywood movie the breakfast club but simple minds success didn't stop with just that one song in their forty year history they've had list number one albums and they've sold more than sixty million records and now they've just released a new album and of course your own max was on hand to have a listen first hand. simple

minds have been performing for over forty years and there's still no lines and keep your lead singer jim carrey's forces band change since they started out. magic the first single from their new album. between whiles jim carrey's seems about the bounds beginnings of a magical yeah. i thought about one hundred eighteen and nineteen when we didn't know anyone in the band we didn't know anyone who wrote a song would suddenly didn't know anyone that had. a record deal been in glasgow then the chance of being a rock star you would propose that us as being an astronauts. but we believed that there was something there this magic lists.

the new album comes on the heels of an acoustic project in which the musicians rediscovered themselves and their music and sound more direct emotional and powerful to our members follow that instinct. to get. live some things you have it and i do you think is good but not the timing but it just felt in the right place and we were gone once we committed to start and . the you go to war cure all of just sleeves and you go in and you just you're going to vote twenty a.d.'s and you get it done to vote eights where you think really good ones. believe.

that. one of the simple minds biggest hits was nine hundred eighty fines don't you forget about me one of the few songs i hadn't written themselves it is number one in the u.s. and canada left its mark on a generation of music sounds. that took the doors off the hinges blew the door wide open and and then m.t.v. and all the stuff that didn't exist suddenly was taking you into. every bottom the world over the living room almost the felt that way. please. explain the success didn't come overnight for scottish brian spent years finding its musical direction i'm off to find

moderately well received albums to their long journey pay off in the late one nine hundred eighty s. simple minds still full albums straight to the top of the charts in britain i'm not . telling you. we're fortunate to have a story and it's a forty year story and. when you put out a new album it follows anyway it energizes the story it gives a new chapter. simple minds are been following for some time more than four decades now but they're not ready to rest on their laurels and making new music yes so the morning i knew.

a deal like this of food in brussels of interview and i got up one earlier than normal because there's a song. i was keen to finish i don't need to finish it just just know that the record companies know showed it for a new song but i'm an artist i create that so i function. in the temporary simple minds take that new album on a european tour de france are looking forward to some magic moments. like i'm going to have to download some music all right now with all the religious strife we see on a daily basis in the news or on the internet it's easy to forget that christianity judaism and islam are inevitably intertwined at least that is what one finnish

photographer wants to point out all or call them mean and has brought out this book combining photographs of churches mosques and synagogues now regardless of your religious beliefs it's hard to argue the beauty of these photographs. then plenty on in rome. istanbul. and the start temple synagogue in india. when you can't tell whether it's a mosque a church or synagogue till the second or third look. centuries old houses of worship are all a color of mine and subjects before he presses the button the chemistry has to be just right. when i go in i need to have the kind of in light moment of the space or in light moment of the light so there's something a driven force that i'm looking for. some places it's very easy to find somebody if

it's a little bit more difficult sometimes it's easier to find but very hard to capture . this time call a mine in is turning his lens on berlin's cathedral he looks for just the right subject the optimal position and especially the perfect light. the challenge for him is to capture the particular mood and spatial dimensions fun film. divide the image in several parts so kind of deconstruct the space and then reconstruct it but it's not perfect and that the certain point. when the viewer is looking the work certain distance you sense the three dimensionality. color color line in creates his artwork after the shoot. in his berlin studio here ranges his photos like the tiles of a mosaic into larger panoramas. all of this is possible to do too

but i like to do it on a lot of my work is not photography architecture and it's obstructing it. and the native of finland discovered his fascination for houses of worship in two thousand and thirteen in istanbul he money spent. it's photographing must after that he spent more than three years visiting over fifty sacred sites all around europe the result was a book of photos and next edition titled sacred spaces in the house and the art museum it was in spaces themselves became part of the installation. there were twenty seven works in the exhibition and there are twenty five colors. so it becomes. a coal mine is a photographer of what's known as the helsinki school while studying in the finnish capital in the one nine hundred ninety s. he began to specialize in images of spaces and facades. he made his name was

abstract photos of architecture he came to it somewhat by accident. as a student at the university of art and design he found portrait photography too difficult . it was very difficult to work in a studio i did not the equipment and how to direct the people and there was so many things to do at the same time so when we went to this theater live assignment i started to build small spaces and then i could spend whatever time in the studio and then but to develop that i want to photograph real spaces. he compiled his sacred spaces from two thousand and fourteen to twenty seventeen years during which tensions between the world religions were growing in europe and elsewhere. did his photo project have a political message. i'm not doing political art but i think all of the team

and how it's handled bring something the. board what i'm thinking about it. all and color mine and images reveal that when seen from a distance christian jewish and muslim houses of worship are visually at least not all that different. going on now to other news making headlines on the cultural scene starting with an update on british prince william and kate snow a trip to scandinavia that and more coming up and express. britain's william prince. his wife came to ride in snowy norway on thursday for a two day official visit the couple will welcome to an airport by crown prince haakon and crown princess mehta moderate later they match norway's king household and queen song yeah at the royal palace william and kate and their four days

scandinavian toll on friday and the week they spent two days in sweden. wednesday saw the start of the transmedia in berlin the digital culture festival aims to open up new perspectives on the connections between art culture and technology this year it focuses on how digital developments are changing social values and practices. before us we would like to encourage visitors to critically question the media reality we live in today. on. the first transmitted yellow was held thirty years ago the annual festival last five days. a new exhibition at london's vienna a museum looks back at the golden age of ocean liners among the objects of the splay a relic of the titanic a good panel from the first class passenger area on

clouds of smoke trails eddies of tiny particles these are the ingredients for very special special effects in films. here it's clouds of ink in water. in the latest star wars movie the last jet i the explosive clouds are mostly computer animated. this is where they were developed the technical university in munich news to ray is a professor of games engineering here. he's worked as a lead developer of virtual special effects for various hollywood productions he even shared a technical achievement award at the oscars his research focuses on the simulation of smoke clouds sounds easy but in fact it's complicated does it is this a problem that airplane manufacturers car makers or weather forecasters have that the underlying physics is very complicated and the complexity that arises from it is far too great to be able to simulate by her. model and by its. national

encounter. much of the exhaust and puffs of smoke in the last jet are special effects based on his research work in munich. they're already working on a new approach one reason it's so difficult to simulate moving gases and liquids is that the motion of the individual smoker in particles is influenced by many different factors. it gets particularly complicated when the particles hit an obstacle. so far there hasn't been a satisfactory way to model their behavior. now the researchers say they've made a breakthrough instead of calculating the path of each individual particle their program only requires a rough design. the system then independently recognizes patterns of motion and completes the animation on its own it's an artificial intelligence technique no. is

deep learning. the result complex unrealistic smoke simulations that even a low budget film studios could afford and the algorithms that the munich researchers develop are not limited to making ever more realistic cinema they have other applications in mind in medicine for instance. of the. blood in their veins and arteries can be modeled using the same equations that are behind the smoke clouds it would be very interesting to build up a library of precise simulations such as how our blood flow behaves for a particular blood vessel geometry and then i use these learning algorithms to predict how an x. ray image would relate to these fellows because that's a very interesting direction for us and. so the simulations from munich could one day help save lives but for the time being we'll probably only encounter them on our movie screens.

time now for something for all you do it yourself out there now if you're in need of a clock and if you don't have a euro max watch yet then why not make a clock yourself are residents of the i y. bird friends in kuwait us shows us how. i'm for it says the cat and concrete than all the rage lately so i'm going to show you how to make this relatively simple elegant with just a few materials you can do it yourself. with a battery some cement and round plastic bowl like this old candy dish. glue. painful the hands of the clock. and very important and pen cap new the pan

into the middle of the bowl will. now spread all around the whole thing. follow the instructions and makes the cement with water. and leave you to the bowl with the a cement mix. shake and rattle the bowl to get any albums out bedded set for twenty four hours. now you spray paint acrylic paint to paint the head of the cloth once the paint has dried you just have to put the whole thing together. get yourself a good looking. and please remember to not put any rest in cement into the think of a toilet as it could lead to that pipe. and if you would like to see that video again that just go to our special you tube channel on interior

a new fitness trend that's also good for the environment. because was among the first to start picking up trash while jogging today he organizes events like this one in style called. you see. there it's russian all over but behind me it's green and i hope. this is only twenty five meters. starting is a combination of the swedish words for picking and jumping for jogging in recent months it's become popular among sporty and environmentally conscious swedes though it does take some getting used to. i think everyone has it it's a little bit to the beginning but the point is that you overcome it you still do it . and then it works for me straight in see i'm working on the recycling station so i'm used to regard rich and i also think it's very important to. make it in

nature more. it's fun it's a shame so many people just toss their garbage on the ground. so we hope. that meets them. some put their whole body and soul into it after all clocking is also designed to help people stay fit eric the organizer says the idea is really taking off. could be good there's just a t. ball game. and we hear about it every week and you are bounce. only plodders could get this excited about this much garbage they separate the trash and recycle what they can an hour later they filled their garbage bags once again and become top fifty in the process. and finally a trend here in europe this winter is that women are wearing for dora's much like

the one i'm free bogart famously dawn in the classic film cars a blank row so if you're in munich and looking for such a hat or other type of interesting head gear then hatmaker nikki mark wright is the woman for the job she's been making hats for some twenty years in all styles. sculptures to adorn heads made of well and whether. planned fibers and feathers. nikki marquardt creates artworks or ideas that has to underscore his wares personality but how much street cred do or creations really. you can. you shouldn't have any problem with us on the street it's not that hard the question is what do you well let's just say the street leads to ascot it's like with anything else you wouldn't wear a swimsuit on the streets but more likely at the beach well it's only if there's us

isn't in my opinion there's the right hat for every occasion bush would. want to set or shop in munich's museum quarter for twenty years the current fall and winter collection is still under splay including our folding at. the master mill there is one or design award for them and immediately had her collection patented the lessons i need to know not only can you fold them flat you can shape them in all kinds of ways on your head so let me just put one on this time that is exactly the model i like to wear and i always wear it like this a bit asymmetrically push my calmness but you can also wear it the classic way like a men's hat. it's a source of pride to have a product category that's all my own and that's innovative as well it's a major motivating force for me to miss that's a huge. i'm really not that interested in hats that have already been created.

so mickey marquardt tender team of master milner's had to paris and it's twice a year they create thirty to fifty models for every fashion show made by hand they go on sale in luxury department stores all over the world and in her boutique. has always kept production in our house she says she can't outsource anything she's developed some of the production techniques herself in particular for her strong paper and banana leaf models. she gave up studying geography to pursue her chosen profession and she had to scrimp and save to buy her first handmade out what advice does she have for novice had where's it yes this is my first attempt is just to keep trying different hats on to see which. for most

people it's really a question of what they're used to and that they've never seen themselves in a particular hot so as with anything else you just have to keep practicing. once your customers have made their choice nikki marquardt says. to last them a lifetime. and with that we come to the end of another show but don't forget to check us out on social media for fun videos and photos on the show as always and thanks for tuning in we will be right back here tomorrow same time same place. for now though it's five from berlin. thanks to dition of euro max design and. cemented by night and its potential in. our exclusive lighting fixtures on. next. i'm on your a max. the
