on that. forensics between bits and bytes you know you have been told by. writing again. that evidence. is the chance because justice is about due to the. truth detectives starts june thirtieth on w. . ever want to welcome to another exciting edition of your own max with me your host megan lee from viking villages to trashy art we've got a packed show in store here's a look at what's coming up. on starry nights the new film documents of youthful and

night time sky. like a viking revisit settlements in germany to see how this people live. and talking trash street artists are bored out old makes an environmental statement with garbage. today we kick off the show with star hunters now these are people who travel to the remote remote corners of the planet and brave all kinds of weather in search of nighttime skies and all five of the best astrophotography has traveled to the australian outback northern canada and other fascinating places to uncover the myths and legends of nature and it can all be seen in a new documentary film. inspiring images. taken from the documentary the borderless sky.

in the first in the skies above have always fascinated humans they've inspired them to reflect on the origins of our world and our very existence and existence. band push oil is one of the five astrophotography as portrayed in the movie. one of my fascination with stars began when i was a kid i think i read one of those children science books my favorite edition was the one titled the first star it had a bright nebula on its cover which caught my attention so i just had to read it and since then i've been mad about the cosmos. for mr. banta pollution specializes in time lapse photography and scours the globe in search of the perfect picture.

you've got to be in the right place at the right time to spot certain constellations to capture special kind of mood lights maybe even to see a comet or the northern lights which are extremely rare so that's a challenge for sure. the documentary follows four other astro photographers in addition to push it in australia and in the outback and iranian stargazing in south america's atacama desert all of them are in search of a stellar shot often having to spend cold nights in tents. just i'm pretty certain these star chases a crazy and i mean who else would stay up all night and put up with who knows what . i was impressed by their attitude and the. lengths to which they go to capture these images. he visits and even stuff on those organs. the stars need to be perfectly aligned so to speak for

a perfect shot good weather is essential otherwise stunning phenomena like this solar eclipse over indonesia might be hidden behind clouds the idea lot of this all these people who came here and got all excited might not get to see it. after witnessing over thirty salary eclipses myself around the world is this going to be the one blocked by clouds i hope not. but then luckily the clouds break affording a brief glance. i could get a nice atmosphere gives you goosebumps when you sense it's getting dark and amazing . in. the documentary also touches on deep philosophical questions. unfold when you look up at the stars you need to realize you're actually looking at history fascinating thought

a star like general been a sickness constellation is one thousand six hundred light years away. that means we're seeing what it looked like in four hundred saying. so the starry sky is like a real time machine allowing us to look into the past we can nefer gungho. here in cologne all band pushes camera captures there is a blank lit up sky rather than stars. urban light pollution makes it practically impossible to spot anything up above. looking up into the starry night also means thinking about our genesis about other worlds out there in the vastness of space and light pollution is everywhere in the western civilized world and blocks out the starbucks best reason to believe that. we'll a hey visit found planet is all there is. and ignore those myriad alternative worlds

out there. for when. luckily we have astro photographers like band push light to remind us of those worlds and the mystical northern lights encourage us to keep gazing skywards. like the stars in the sky another major fascination is how the vikings lived over one thousand years ago and one of the best places to get an accurate impression is the head of mossad one and they've done their best seven viking houses and a landing bridge invite visitors to experience what life was like back then. viking's life was not for the fainthearted the men hunted for food with bows and arrows. hand-made clothes and cloth kept them

warm during the cold winters. built wooden ships with the simplest of. the viking settlement of painted blue once numbered among the foremost in the medieval trading centers in northern europe. died sure visitors how the vikings went about their daily lives over a thousand years ago. it was a life in and with nature but had an incredibly sharp power of observation they were very well acquainted with the materials around them and knew how to use them to their advantage to build housing ships and wagons and make rope. they made a great many things that we could hardly even imagine today to be on their fourth or increment. in northern germany. seven faction roof wooden houses have been faithfully reconstruction. of the

settlement was built at the end of the shoreline an inlet on the baltic sea. it was a strategic location for trading precious metals weapons and pelt today it's a treasure trove of jests. behind me lies here of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries with the first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but issues in archaeology the real treasures lie underground and here behind us there isn't a square centimeter that doesn't contain archaeological finds. we always say head of who is archaeologically contaminated. in the nearby viking museum visitors can inspect many of the original artifacts. it's one of chalets because shine is the most popular museum. over one hundred thousand people come and usually in search of

the real vikings. the museum shows the vikings highly developed bronze and silver smith's art for example or the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit is. a question for the president unlike the classic image of the vikings as warriors what i find after such an intense examination here is that above all they were internationally trading europeans even somewhat cosmopolitan and it's. very rare for the have to. be in the hands craft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just warring is definitely a culture i'd say oh. come on. the down of a canny hate abou is another significant archeological site from the viking age. it consists of earthworks walls and trenches which in some thirty kilometer.

fortifications date back some one thousand g. is it can best be explored by bicycle. and the down a vehicle was built to protect the jutland peninsula against invading. the donovan was the longest lasting border of the middle ages and the best preserved in its various phases as we see here the best waldemar small for example was a very innovative construction for the time. they had already gone to build with bricks in the twelfth century with. the site gives us a unique insight into how the vikings lived. being listed as a world heritage sites would underline their importance the archaean not. ical fines indicate this was once home to a global trading power. here in haiti but we found mercury holes that came from western afghanistan. we also found us of brass and spoke to from the white

sea area seen. columns and so as a trading sing made of it was something like the major ports of hamburg in rotterdam are today. in the guns from the place where all kinds of wares and trading groups came together and dispersed again for we had. paid to build proofs that the vikings were not just war against but also shrewd strangers and people who lived in harmony with nature. it's been nine years since the king of pop michael jackson suddenly died from an overdose of drugs administered by his doctor on now an exhibition in london is paying tribute to the musicians influence on the art world more on that at the top of today's express. on thursday london's national portrait gallery on veiled an exhibition to commemorate the latest music legend michael jackson the show titled on the wall

traces the king of pop's impact on contemporary art it's called really about michael jackson per se it's not about his biography really to try to tell his life story but it's about what his image is to all of those the exhibition features works by artists like andy warhol and others a portrayed commissioned by the pope trying to him self is also on display michael jackson would have turned sixty on of course the twenty fifth. the museum in potsdam is honoring the eighty six year old german artist with a special retrospective. it focuses on the diversity of race does work from the one nine hundred sixty s. to the present. among the more the ninety pieces on display a picture has never before seen in public. from international museums and private collections. the retrospective is open to visitors starting saturday.

the u.k. is currently experiencing a major heatwave with temperatures as high as thirty degrees celsius animals at london zoo have being given sugar free only spots to snack on belfast's who also had to take some drastic steps to pete the heat like rubbing its pigs with sunscreen fortunately temperatures are sent to cool off the weekend. upcycling in art has been a trend for a few years now but one man who's trying to make a statement about the environment is a portuguese artist or dollar the second he's frustrated by the impact of pollution the house on animals so he creates large animal sculptures made of trash to draw attention to the issue. chaya animal figures are showing up in public spaces are told bordellos trash animals are causing quite

a stir and not just in his native portugal wardle on the street artist works in lisbon his medium is trash. for the kind of artwork that i'm doing it's an easy material to work with the place of daisy three part all border low areas border low to second left a faculty of fine arts and quit spraying graffiti to devote himself exclusively to trash out the one i do with. as started to work with it's. very fresh in general in a very random why not on with plastic but with almost what i just left over in my little studio we have a list of basic materials that we all lose use like we use carbon first then which the trash bins helmets to make the. old toys packaging and bottles that throw out some four hundred forty kilos of trash our capital. only some thirty percent is recycled the rest is dumped. like when i started

to make these artwork it was when portugal was kind of in crisis or bank bancorp and stuff like that so a lot of companies just shut down. these factories these warehouses got em and on so people went there to steal everything i mean. these materials that you can see in the scrap materials that you can sell it to cooper and the metals in all the things but the plastic would stay there. bottlenose trash animals are a protest against excessive consumerism and pollution. street art or ball the art form the public art i think it's important to have something to say not being something just. the fish will be a reference for a young generation say they have something to say that made sense little step in its message is universal two years ago the artist visited the complex dumps in

hamburg. the spine's there led to an installation titled the weasel. it owns a container as a protest against plastic waste. another one one of the basic contentions of coffee tea and street art in general is to reach as many people as possible with a sudden message id even say that street art has a certain responsibility to do so even if not aware of that but in the end it has a great deal of potential but many people have yet to realize the power to him to stick to the go when few know what. it would be to look good but there are many artists who are most themselves in the subject that's the magically thing on the docket they make just

a stronger statement a sport or no dust street artists are setting the contemporary art world on edge after all bordello has no problem exhibiting and galleries and museums to appeal to the mainstream and thank yous ideas now. the plastic is one of the worst cancers that we report on the planet so it makes sense to create images of these victims and i mean then the mole's with what destroys a. board alone may capture the viewer's attention busy console the welts problems by himself. all week long we've taken you on exciting train journeys throughout europe and today we're going to explore and a lucia in spain starting in seville will be taking in the local culture all the way to the alhambra in granada now this journey takes about five days if you choose
