created movie milestones it was an instrument of propaganda and persecution. it underwent a bankruptcy and restructuring. but it still turning out films today. germany's biggest and oldest film company. a cinematic history from the german empire to the present one hundred years so far starting february eighteenth. everyone welcome to another special edition of your romex featuring your our viewers most popular topics today we are focusing on art in various forms which is your third favorite subject here's what's coming up. artificial

intelligence we take a look at creativity robot. artistic expression why polish art is all it covers everything in crochet work. to create a statement an austrian artist builds muscle powered sports car. once upon a time as an artist perhaps you were inspired by a feeling then poured your own emotional steve to enter your work you chose a medium and maybe some oil paints and after a while you had a work of art ok maybe i am oversimplifying the process of but today you can sidestep all of that creative import and have a robot do the painting or drawing for you now this is what patrick say france has experimented with forcing us to question who the artist really is.

these paintings and drawings are not the work of a human at least not directly but of a robot. one of the best known humans in the realm of robot art is partly clay say. he has three robots working for him in his london studio and they are called. here they're getting ready for a drawing session. it's complicated because. it's a program. made. of so far as it's a complex relationship. between you about that but also for me up

here. what i wanted to do what they do is scan a room with their camera eyes and recognise human computer science he made and programmed his robots himself even those have been a two pound has posed more than twenty times for. she says it still feels weird the machine is basically emitting human behavior so you kind of like familiar with the movements but at the same time not really because you are aware that is not a pair of eyes that's a camera so you know but then at the same time the movements are so naturally done that yours lately confused at times many who see the robots at work feel the same way at least once a month they perform in public this event was in paris last year. as an artist and as a scientist say is interested in the interaction of human and machine people tend to ascribe human attributes to the robots. as soon as soon. as

it makes sense to look at something and react. you have hugh understand then you react to it. just we can't help it to say is a visiting research fellow at goldsmiths college university of london he has always been fascinated by both arts and technology. as adjutants may be very ads and able and he may have delegated plenty of work to them . he is still the artist. and those things are going to take over our to because. it's. a community of technologies he will not have to try to get. them to make just doesn't work because of this knowledge of.

it is very likely that robots will soon be doing their own screen as in creating their own art still what they are already doing today it is fascinating and just a bit on cameo. continuing now on the subject we move on to art installations now they come in many different forms including believe it or not crocheted now one performance artist who calls herself all that put her radical mark on this activity which of course we associate more with our grandmothers than with rebel excruciating art installations may look harmless enough book looks can be deceiving. i'm all that i'm an artist and sometimes i like to call myself an old fashioned clay the whole course is falling. for more than

a decade now the polish born artist has traveled the world covering anything and everything she can little layer of colorful yarn. i believe as i thought is there is most a gracious between life and i don't think that enters my life's going to be crucial don't i should text messages from my ex lovers so natural way for me to express myself physically if you who know me. eventually you can be part of my work . on one i put my first piece on history i realize how the changes in our nation today in a violent and also how people are not dissing the. people

are afraid to for some reasons to go inside a gathering and so on they don't feel safe or maybe they'll feel they're free but entered spaces so in the moment on the street it's really for everybody you know there's a minute if you're educated it doesn't matter if you have any knowledge about the art it is for you to experience it. got to the stage to the most spectacular intervention to date on christmas eve of twenty ten she'd learned the famous charging statue on wall street had been installed there without permission in one nine hundred eighty nine so decided to honor the. legal installation of her. actually the legal piercers are much more the call to make than their league up this is to be an innocent because then your across is always like a killing buying. and

i will sell strollers levels i mean the president says there's a police presence really for artists to be able to finish that and to me to be able to play with their peers because of the time but also the until the contract takes time so i had to put her on this basis before going with me and pray they're going to get. very lucky lucky to run away with you. likely. in many places i likes interventions constitute property damage and are punishable with fines or even jail but she doesn't like back to turn her. travels the world to expose social problems and then just by covering things up when necessary with official permission. in twenty fourteen plunged into the gulf of mexico to protest against the

destruction of the ecosystem. in march twenty sixth she joined women in india for a protest performance to celebrate international women's day. later that year she travelled to finland to create our pink helps with refugees from ukraine and syria the project's message was everybody should have a home. my peace is there not just to decorate a city i hope they bring awareness of certain issues that are very important verse also i talk about for a door and what human rights women rights you know about environmental crisis right now also all those pieces has some meaning behind the. creating communities being with together updating them and skills. importing them

and then we create something together and they will leave something for the community to enjoy. which no lack of seems to inspire new work it's clear to all that that should go right on crocheted. me well in. my hands for sure but in the end the really because most of the world is producing my hair always translate my work to somebody who actually can produce it you know so. nothing can stop. now to a british artist who gives new meaning to the phrase you won't believe your eyes howard levy is something of an illusionist now he paints realistic images of everyday common objects and combines them with the real thing to trick the viewer chosen flat form is the internet where he's gathered quite

a following so time now to see if you can figure out which objects are not the real deal. which of these objects is real and which is a drawing. these internet videos are about everyday objects but not all of them are as real as they look. drawings that are fooling our senses and then a few seconds of time lapse video solve the riddle of the optical illusions. the works of british artist howard lee are showing us the limitations of our perception . of what makes a video great is the moment at which it becomes something you didn't expect it to be whether it's that you were looking at a drawing and you didn't realize it was a drawing or whether you were looking at a drawing that then started moving and becomes an animation and mixes with reality

it's the single point at which something unexpected happens fat's the sort of magic moment and that's for me what really makes it the drawing is only the beginning of lee's work he films the hours long creative process of drawing the actual artwork is the finished video. the thirty three year old prefers to exhibit his works on the internet. it's not elitist in any way it doesn't require somebody to endorse it or to put money behind it it doesn't matter how old you are or how experienced you are how qualified you are anybody can draw video painting an artwork or a video creation or anything online and it's judged purely on its own merits lee has a growing community of fans on social networks the artist now earns a living selling prints and working for advertising clients. he's also

seeking out new challenges in addition to still lifes he's trying his hand at the animation. and using live action footage. but you can only achieve this sort of hyper realistic look under the right conditions. you've got the lighting which needs to be not so far into the picture that it's going to make the colors too too faint to grade out. you've got the media so you need the intensity of what you using to match the color intensity on the screen you need different media so you know you need things like the kind of white gel pain which are going to. they're going to give you the highlight that you need. that's going to be the same is the intensity of the reflection of the objects. lives and works in the northern english

city of newcastle he started making internet videos in two thousand and fifteen before that he taught art. he had started on to university but most of the techniques he uses today he didn't learn them. has been learned through other people demonstrating it in their videos on instagram or on youtube into toils if i need to learn something the first place i goes you tube to try and find somebody to teach me how to do and normally i can. leach use this in subjects from everyday life he's constantly experimenting with different colors and materials to create the perfect illusion. often a few seconds of video take days to make. and in the future the production process could even get more complex. i'd like to make

more videos which maybe have more of a sense of story maybe bring some of the followers into the videos and so i can combine drawing and reality on the same plane. i've got a hundred thousand ideas that i'd like to try out so yeah it's just finding the time to do them really. is it real or an illusion howard least succeeds however briefly in making our school reality into question. from its beginnings the automobile has been a symbol of status and wealth and freedom and one of the brands that embodies these concepts perhaps best that will make you look twice. porsche nine one one for many a dream on wheels the embodiment of power and speed but when the traffic light

changes in him to austria even cyclists overtake this porsche. that's because this one hundred fifty kilos sports car is really a bicycle how does the austrian who built it powers it using his legs. or of course it's pleasant when you can be very slow it's a special luxury. i think that's a bigger luxury than if you always have to be very fast. everyone wants to be fast and everyone is always around but to be slow that's the real luxury. underneath its golden surface the materials used to build the car are quite mundane . the artist created his mobile sculpture from plastic tubing and duct tape.

that's how the porsche named founding and g t three r.s. came to be an artwork that questions the culture of cars while making a social and ecological statement. europe's museums already how is harness lange a car art for example the lentils art museum for contemporary and modern art. how does one eat as fabien and has taken laps around the porsche factory in stuttgart received an invitation to frankfurt international motor show and appeared on a british t.v. show top gear that happened after one as long a time. made a video to promote his car artwork which is racked up more than three million hits on the internet. explorer every year spoiler holds down the rear axle for

traction when you exceed five kilometers an hour. the oversized arion takes in the front spoiler keep the driver and passenger from overheating perspiring too much so the seats are adjustable and come from the we come in by technology their form prevents wear and tear on the inside of the drivers. to keep the price down to fatten and doesn't tire early without an engine. driven by muscle power failure and has the right of way downtown in austrian cities and people everywhere agree on like normal cars his mobile work of art is also allowed in put us three in zones. to listen to. thomas monita has created an entirely new form of mobility he even occasionally uses fatty nine hundred self in daily life.

you know which i'm sure you feel a lot better than a normal porsche because you don't produce as much toxic emissions. and i haven't calculated precisely how much c o two a human body emits but it's certainly less than an internal combustion engine from . a human being as an engine to an engine with a lifetime guarantee. the shelf where you said you hold. a car designer fairy once said the last car ever to be built will be a sports car he could be right because the saturn and g.t. three on us will still be rolling along with other cars have long run out of gas.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that certainly seems to be the case of four romanian photographer army haleigh not arc now she travels the world documentation different women to illustrate the various definitions of beauty her project called the atlas of beauty has taken her to over fifty countries we caught up with her in italy. the world streets and squares are mahela knox's workplace since two thousand and thirteen she's traveled to over fifty different countries photographing women. norris's aim is to document true beauty she's photographed women in myanmar romania's capital bucharest indonesia's capital jakarta in finland and ecuador. women face is zero zero there that. for me because i was doing the know what. i

perspective that the fact that maybe there's not since the situation that's that's accepted like that is beautiful in its own way. upload pictures and the women's stories to project has already received over a million likes on facebook and her tumblr blog is one of the most popular sites on . the. photographer funds herself mainly through crowd funding. looking for people that can give us hope probably or people that have something nice firing or people that they really saw there in the beauty that's very important for me. and i'm really trying to do this otis this saying that we have one of the most memorable journeys was to north korea in september two thousand and fifteen she wanted to thank photographs of women in everyday situations in an isolated country that was apart from its politics little is known

about north korea i don't manage to photograph more than twenty women more than should expected. i had so i was in north korea and there i was always accompanied by a guide saw my experience. i was steered towards let's say but what they found amazing was that. i was able to do to talk with the women and stop them on the seat in front of them for my project which i thought is very interesting we'll. let it go out today michel in iraq he's in milan the project is demanding she's going to be upbeat so women on the street will open up to her and she must appear honest and trustworthy to convince them of her project. when after all it. became nice to women from rome of visiting the city. it's interesting
