until. inventors entrepreneurs and high tech professionals talk about their visions successes and day to day business the difference. in the street you know everyone has to sort of. this is the. vision. to. digital africa starts december twelfth on t.w. . welcome to the euro max in today's show we'll be featuring one of the most iconic albums in music history and much much more from across the continent is what's coming up. we celebrate the beatles' white album which came out

fifteen years ago. rebelliousness we need a street artist in front for a minute. and stylish we visit a family in that dream house on the island of malta. we start off with an absolute gem of rock history this iconic beatles double album as you can see the cover didn't feature a title or much else at all and so it was dubbed the white album not just the color was unusual though it also marked the beginning of the end for the beatles the majority of the tracks were written and recorded separately as tensions in the band and different tastes resulted in a wide variety of completely different songs being jumbled together but with the talent on offer it still resulted in a cracking record. we

all want to change the world john lennon wrote. in his song revelation. yet nam war and student unrest in paris and elsewhere dominated headlines lennon thought the time had come to make a statement. this special two months before the album came out one is a bit. the release version of revolution sounds a little more reflective. since nine hundred sixty full. albums. i think it's

because so many different influences went into it the psychedelic stuff from india played a major part. of it just returned from got to work on this. because of. nine hundred sixty eight the beatles were here to get away from it all to meditate and look. left after ten days to escape the food in insects. couple of weeks later to take care of business george harrison and john lennon and writes music. on the album but they did. the rest. done yet anything but consistent by the time they recorded the. real title is simply the beatles the fact full were ready for it with tensions in part with their private lives.

net insists that he can hear it the ex d.j. and radio announcer describes the white album as a kind of hodgepodge. and neither john nor paul were listening to what either of them were writing or composing any more with it hadn't ever been like that before. in fact the beatles worked on the white album or separate them together. eventually radio star threw in the drumsticks and disappeared for two weeks. this is in my opinion it's the album that makes it very clear that they'll be splitting up soon after this but it's. george harrison took advantage of the growing tensions between lennon and mccartney to move himself into the foreground. he contributed one of his very best songs while my guitar gently weeps one of my

guitars i think it's outstanding it was the first time they ever let george harrison write four songs for an album. and he played while my guitar gently weeps together with friends old and new concepts up until his death in two thousand and one. but not everything on the white album was brilliant. as soon as i see there's a little trash for me to do your blood does a ridiculous song. he would think that music is really i just hated it and i still hate it. there was a tragic footnote to the. album that the beatles were not directly involved in cult

leader charles manson took the music as in coded messages to him personally up as a race wall and he sold the beatles as the four horsemen of the apocalypse spurred on by the song helter skelter his calls made it nine people in one nine hundred sixty nine. the one taliban has just been released and it still looks the same test six c.d.'s and a blu ray disc. the fifty recordings including some previously unreleased material remakes for this edition of the music ranges from ballads to hot rocks just sounds collages and just good company is it. because the beatles did things that nobody had ever done before. thus they set milestones on the white album is definitely one of them but definitely. more to come out to play or to. next

up express when making stops in berlin and milan today but first let's stay on the subject of music and a very successful germans. german shaw guessing our elaine official has made it into the top ten of the world's best paid female musicians in fact she's in a place on the forbes list. for us magazine puts fishes of yearly earnings has around twenty eight million euros ahead of international superstars like celine dion and britney spears but she's way behind the highest paid woman in the music business you are seeing are katy perry with nearly seventy three million euros but misha doesn't seem to mind.

berlin's newest baby giraffe ella took her first steps outdoors and was introduced to visitors at the tir park is of. the young female seemed to enjoy galloping around the outside enclosure. elementary more than one meter eighty when she was born on november third as an adult five years from now she's likely to stand for and a half metres tall. so just two metres seventy left for ella to grow. is hosting the exhibition of visual protest the art of banksy starting this is the first time that works by the british street on his to being shown in a public museum his identity is still a closely guarded secret. banksy has revived the rebellious political component

which had been lost in street art and that is one of his achievements in. the exhibition comprises eighty works from private collections including paintings and prints it runs until the fourteenth of april twenty ninth. with st up now but back outdoors where it belongs like banksy philip schiff uses the street as his canvas it transforms the city's grey landscape adding color for commuters in frankfurt to marvel at the self-proclaimed gorilla artist used to work illegally but has since started getting permission from the city council for his installations his works are meant to be thought provoking but also make people laugh and look at their surroundings in a new light. his little goes to the city. he served toast in a manhole cover. sent messages on the top. and sprayed on very

on a tower slated for destruction. this is in st paul intended to make the city of frankfurt and more. and this is the artist philip shaffer. leaving the conventional behind away from normality changing perspective and seeing things in a new light that's what you could call the essence of my art. for years now philip shaffer has been quite successful as a gorilla as he calls himself here he's making final preparations before he heads out for his next stop to stick undertaking. right now i'm cutting out the stencils from my latest manhole cover work. this is the head of a cheetah or a panther. and there's

a manhole cover near the train station that resembles a cage. and it's now being transformed the boring manhole cover nobody previously noticed and suddenly acquires a new meaning the action takes about twenty minutes and shaffer has the big cat in its cage. i have a huge database at home often i get an idea and need to find a suitable manhole cover but in this case i saw the cover and knew right away this has to go there. shafer calls this project she works he adds a lighthearted and playful element to the pavement underfoot a swimming pool with a diving board. and who is the birthday cake meant for. where did this detail come from.

slices of toast in a manhole cover. something to going about and maybe also a comment on our eating habits where does he get his ideas shaped is best known work pokes fun at consumerism. god made a good record i have a list of you could say the manhole cover told me what it needed all i did was carry it out. the plate had four holes and it was immediately clear to me that slices of toast had to go into them tools or to find. the food go down the drain it's meant tongue in cheek bullet shape who studied political science most of change our ways of seeing things it all started with his city ghosts big now achieved cult status and are often imitated by other sprayers shaper invented at first he sprayed the ghost illegally nowadays he asked for permission his ghosts at

least are cheerful. with his. they're not meant to scare people just the opposite they're supposed to make people smile and pull them out of their daily routines. was also the same when he decorated a train station for christmas twenty thirteen. the balloon on the right carried a wish list the president was parachuted down on the left but schaffer was caught and fined nine hundred euros. off with his orders although i was supposed to face criminal charges as well but thank goodness the case was decided in my favor i admitted to the judge that i did damage property illegally but convinced her there was a reason for it but if this goes over then we have to shake the make statements about germany's banking have frankfurt known as the city of the wealthy the great artist says people shouldn't just turn over the city to high finance and speculate.

the city belongs to those who live in it and that's what this is about. to allow everyone to express themselves freely and help shape their social environment. or some may think philip shapers a bit nuts but his guerrilla art makes people smile and brightens up the cityscape and that makes the artist happy to. now from the streets of frankfurt we head to a more traditional place to observe. but the until you do you mean yeah paris is first digital museum you can see classic works by the likes of gustav clint and from an entirely new perspective this is used three d. technology to bring these paintings to life. dive into the world of the late austrian artist feeling.

for the viewer it's an immersive experience pulls on the floor merge into an explosion of color while the art and technology blend into a seamless unity. we don't want to be called a museum we're a digital art center expire we want to present a different experience of art than what you get in a museum where the art works just hang on the wall. the new venue is located inside a former iron foundry in central paris. the old cooling pool now reflects the works of. the family was opened in the nineteenth century by the peace shawn fanning

it took two years to produce useful education for the venue but artistic director jeff you know nuzzi is happy with result. the dirty work the c.d.u. your point makes this place so special is that the old factory has been brought to new life it's very important to me that we don't abandon locations like that. shouldn't just be turned into architectural rubbish dumps in a balloon or a future and. a second exhibition features another austrian stuff cliff kemp was initially influenced by historical paintings and mirrors and then made a decisive break with tradition. over the course of his career clint began to emancipate himself from classical art he founded the vienna session which produced entirely new artistic genres. including symbolism and art nouveau somebody is. just a student emancipated himself from a stop to stop just to conventions the fun is behind the. one to break with the

time on it museum concept in paris the city known for its world famous museums that is indeed telling tradition on its head. well the tradition we'd like you to is singing silent night at christmas time as part of this week's competition we'd like you to sing us your rendition of the carol in whatever language you prefer after all the song has been translated into around three hundred languages and dialects you could win a cd and original christmas pyramid so make sure to take part on data slash lifestyle next up we're traveling to housetops a small town in austria that has developed into a real hits with chinese tourists over the last few years so much so that a replica was built in china for around eight hundred million euros the real house was declared a unesco world heritage site in nine hundred ninety seven so let's go see the

original. there are many many chinese tourists here and they all want one thing a photo a photo of polish in austria and they want to be in it too for some reason the small village in the common good region is immensely popular two groups come see and click yes it's pretty of course but why in fact do they come here. number three. three. three beautiful. you know word among their neighbor and. for the flower. of my cake we. come here to make a dream come true because he's so beautiful. up to seven thousand chinese visitors

through the streets every day. but they don't stay long just long enough for a snapshot or too. much to the annoyance of some of hotshots eight hundred residents. don't yet have time to drink a cup of coffee not to buy a souvenir just walk through take hundreds of pictures and then i'm bundled back to the bus and on to the next town. i can't even get through on the book because i get pushed from all sides on my bike it's really dangerous and. another reason it is on the chinese radar is that it has a twin an identical twin in china the house dot com was opened in two thousand and twelve. in the south of the country it's also favored by local daytrippers and chinese people who have neither the time nor the cash to fly to austria and it's popular as a photo backdrop too. but the austrian original is unique thanks to the authentic

landscape. of the better off chinese piece. keep coming by the end of the year it could be over a million. that's too many for the townspeople there now thinking of ways to limit the tourist crowds. warning signs have already gone up asking visitors to respect the native population in general tourists are welcome and hostile but so many all that once can be hard to handle and a new traffic concept is required. has been made about limiting the number of buses only pre-registered buses would be at a certain limited number so. this opera austrian area is just too lovely and it's too bad somehow locals may think to themselves that the news has reached all the way to china.

time now for our ongoing series euro still locks or we get a sneak peek into someone's humble abode today we're heading to the mediterranean island of malta this is where one british family chose to settle off to traveling all across the world and listen an architect to design and build their dream house and now that it's done they've finally decided to settle down. this house is a typical example of modern multis architecture which features clearly defined structures to smooth bright exterior. the edwards live here northeast of the letter with their daughter isabelle who lent her name to the family home. welcome to my health. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming pool this crucial access makes the outside area appear as part of the

living space the edwards moved into the house in twenty sixteen. russell an internet expert from britain and his wife lorraine have traveled extensively and moved house thirteen times already here they finally feel at home for the first time. i may not travel light. it just flows really nicely so i always feel. at home there's something lovely about waking up here every day and pretty much the sun is going to be shining and that's really nice. because the sun makes you happy. in order to bring the natural inside the owners relied completely on board as a design element. the entrance area is almost completely paneled with oak and looks like a huge sculpture with indirect lighting. i

was worried that they would take a lot of my space because they were talking as well behind these units you can storage things so we have the furniture actually here so i thought that either will take the space of the entrance but like i said you aren't witnesses these looks fantastic. a white nishan of wooden board in the foyer is mirrored by a similar shaped shell. and the kitchen. the west trying to put the house all together goes why is very clean the very i don't mean money stick but for me to happen it'll be the warm so they're all here was a fantastic idea and i think that is different to any other kitchen is designed for me i like that. the architect wanted the sonic dining table to form in line with

the kitchen. but that proved to be impractical to walk around the same time i think . that's a long way so what we turn to the. police down a little bit and then we can quickly skip through that bit there which makes it a lot easier when you're putting their food on the table every day and stuff like that so yeah architects a great idea is that sometimes you change little things here on. the staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif will pay for the features of the plaques in space perspective. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quiet beige towns in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground floor. tiles is the color scheme in the living room. a built in wardrobe is hidden behind the dark blue woodward living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd

sort of turn the lights down and just relax is one of the if i don't say they are in the lounge that we have really sat down on a joy and drink usually not their homes that we have to leave before never happened this is a. right and. a left. the door to the garden usually remains open evening after all mild temperatures prevail all year round on the mediterranean island of malta. well from icy cold berlin the time to say goodbye we'll be back tomorrow with more your max if you can't wait that long you can find us on instagram and facebook i've d.w. your remarks plenty more content to see them on the bar for no.
