intelligence we take a look at creativity. artistic expression why polish artists although it covers everything in crochet work. to create a statement an austrian artist builds a muscle powered sports car. once upon a time as an artist perhaps you were inspired by a feeling then porridge or a motion will stay to enter your work your chosen medium and maybe some oil paints and after a while you had a work of art ok maybe i am oversimplifying the process 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.
2:32 pm
these paintings and drawings are not the work one of the best known humans in the realm of robot art is partly cloudy today. he has three robots working for him in his london studio and they are all called. here they're getting ready for a drawing session. it's complicated machines that writes a program. carrier you know. of self off trades as it's a complex relationship. between you that also for me. to do what they want to do what they do is scan a room with their camera and recognise human faces and then they draw what they see
2:33 pm
including shadows they can take up to forty minutes. to say has a master's in computer science major and programmed his robots himself even those have been a two pair has posed more than twenty times for all. 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 the same time the movements are so naturally done that yours slightly 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
2:34 pm
a behavior that makes sense to look at something and react. you have to understand then you'll be asked to eat. 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. is adjutants maybe very agile and able and he may have delegated plenty of work to them. he is still the artist. and things are going to take over because. they go in the same. community of technology and he will not have to try to get. them to make just doesn't work because of this knowledge of.
2:35 pm
it is very unlikely that robots will soon be doing their own free as in creating their own art still what they are already doing today is fascinating and just a bit on cammy. continuing now on this subject we move on to art installation so 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 rebellious street artists but somehow all like seems to be making it work. i gotto alexy ox crocheted art installations may look harmless enough but folks can be deceiving.
2:36 pm
to. to you i'm all i am an artist and sometimes i like to call myself an old fashioned lady who prefers falling because there's oil. for more than a decade now the polish born artist has traveled the world covering anything and everything she can little layer of colorful yard. i believe as art is there is most a parade between life and art or a feeling that enters my life going to crush i don't. text messages from my ex lovers so natural way for me to express myself basically if you who know me. eventually you can be part of my work. when i put my first piece on the street i realize how the changes in our nation
2:37 pm
today the violent and also how people are not dissing the these. people are afraid to for some reasons to go inside a gallery or museum they don't feel safe or maybe they'll feel they're free but enter the 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 an order by the ard it is for you to experience it. i've got to stage her most spectacular intervention to date on christmas eve of twenty ten she'd learned that the famous charging. street had been installed there without permission in one thousand nine hundred nine so decided to honor the. legal installation of her. actually. a much more the god to make than the league this is to you and it is a because then your across is always there killing buying things.
2:38 pm
and i will sell strollers levels i mean further strength that's politics but the stones it's really for artists to be able to finish their piece and. their peers because the time of the material the contract takes time so there are all these pieces before came down with me and pray they're going to get. very likely to run away when you go. quickly. in many places i like albums and then just in spite of covering things up when necessary with official permission. in twenty fourteen plunged into the gulf of mexico to
2:39 pm
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 film to create our pink helps with refugees from ukraine and syria the project's message was everybody should have a home. my place is there not just to decorate the 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 so all those pieces has some meaning behind the scheme. creating communities being with together teaching them steals. employing them and
2:40 pm
then we create something together and then we'll have something for the community to enjoy. which no lack of seems to inspire new works it's clear that she'll go right on crushing. me well if. it had my hand so that would stop for sure but then i'm 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. 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 and lee's chosen flat form is the internet where he's gathered quite
2:41 pm
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 a book. perfect drawings that a 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 so 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
2:42 pm
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. and using live
2:43 pm
action footage. but he 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're using to match the color intensity on the screen you need different media. you know you need things like a 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
2:44 pm
today he didn't learn them. has been learned through other people demonstrating in their videos on instagram or on you tube 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 it normally i can. lead to serious 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
2:45 pm
combine drawing and reality on the same plane salgado of one 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 powered lead 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 is porsche and as you know this luxury sports car can be quite expensive plus it's a pollutant into the environment however there is an alternative on the road in austria 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
2:46 pm
changes and then 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. 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 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.
2:47 pm
that's how the porsche named found g.t. three r.s. came to be an artwork that questions the cult of cars while making a social and ecological statement. europe's museums already house hundreds long a car art for example the lentils art museum for contemporary and modern art in linz. has learned as fabien and has taken laps around the porsche factory and received an invitation to frankfurt international motor show and appeared on the british t.v. show top gear that happened after hannah's learned on. made a video to promote his car artwork which is racked up more than three million hits on the internet it's. been explored everywhere spoiler hold down the rear axle for

traction when you exceed five kilometers an hour. the oversized air intakes in the front spoiler keep the driver and passenger from overheating perspiring too much to see the seats are adjustable and come from the recombinant by technology their form prevents wear and tear on the inside of the driver stock. and to keep the price down to fatten and doesn't tire early without an engine particulars. driven by muscle power saleen 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 pitched estrie in zones. using. thomas lung eight and has created an entirely new form of mobility he even occasionally uses fabien and himself in daily life. to.
2:49 pm
your food 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. a human being is an engine to an engine with a lifetime guarantee. the shelf where you said you hold. a car designer fairy porsche once said the last car ever to be built will be a sports car he could be right because the fat in g.t. three r.s. will still be rolling along with other cars have long run out of gas.
2:50 pm
beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that certainly seems to be the case of for romanian photographer and me. now she travels the world documenting 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 hello knox's workplace since two thousand and thirteen she's traveled to over fifty different countries photographing women. norris's a mystery document true beauty she's photographed women in myanmar remain his capital book arrest indonesia's capital jakarta in finland and ecuador. woman face is o.-o. there that. for me because they do the know what. i just let myself be pressed
2:51 pm
by the people that they see this and then somebody just my attention and i feel that there's something interesting inside her maybe it's like a chemistry or an energy that's happening something that you cannot consort i go in there i tried to photograph her at the age of twenty seven not are quit her job at a t.v. production company in bucharest took her savings and set off to pursue her dream project the atlas of beauty. she's already photographed hundreds of women and documented their stories. this south african woman sells meat in a cape town slum this indian lady is almost one hundred years old this german woman has overcome cancer twice. in iraq once her pictures to capture female car enthusiasm and strength. mostly if you look on the media you see this point about lots of wars and problems and what i'm trying to go in their
2:52 pm
perspective that is the fact that maybe there is not since the situation there is that's accepted like that is beautiful in its own way. pictures and the women 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 crowdfunding. looking for people that can give us hope probably or people that had something inspiring or people that they really saw there in their beauty that's very into important for me. and i'm really trying to do this so to use this saying that we have one of our 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 because apart from its politics little is known
2:53 pm
about north korea managed to photograph more than twenty women more than she'd expected. i had so i was in north korea and there i was always accompanied by a guide so my experience. was still turds 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 see the front of them for my project which i thought is very interesting you know. very little. today michel in iraq he's in milan a project he's demanding she's going to be upbeat so women on the street will open up to her and she must appear almost untrustworthy to convince them of our project . games after telling us. to get nice to women from rome of visiting the city. it's interesting threads
2:54 pm
it it's very nice so we were happy for that. machine an arc is taken pictures of many different women but what is beauty mean to the audience it seems they various muti in a loop in a handshake in a small. i don't know it's an energy it's around us you just really have to be attentive the art and you have to be open to suit because it then pass you by and do not notice it but it is everywhere. michelle and our own plans to continue her travels around the world. in celebration of female beauty and of life itself. and with that we're out of time if you miss something you can always go to our website to see the reports again or follow us on social media we are on facebook as
