and a composer who gets her inspiration from nothing more than a chance. but we begin with german photographer your coal vest who is living the high life 1st as a male model and then as a top fashion photographer until 8 years ago when he was asked to photograph his holiness the dalai lama joining his visit to germany getting to know him best promised a visit to bet and highlight the problems facing the country then he went on to the amazon to help indigenous tribes that and now he's using his photographic skills to promote heroes of the sea. environmental photographer your code vests latest project draws attention to the state of our oceans with shocking results. this is not an island but a mountain of plastic off haiti doesn't alter totalities or places of total

pollution or beaches have been destroyed where people live in total misery mentioning. how the spent 10 days in haiti last april the island state has a severe weiss problem he accompanied an environmentalist who pays locals to collect plastic which is then recycled. there are more than 150000000 tonnes of plastic in the ocean. this year the environmental photo festival horizons in sinks down the german coast focused its attention on the environment under threat. margaret you guys are these are certainly enough this kind of horror also has a strange fascination for me we're like hunters on the lookout for these moments because we know these images are triggers that every human being can understand emotionally it's a value dmca and. for his project heroes of the sea oh this is documenting the work

of those fighting against the destruction of our oceans oh this was with the conservation organization sea shepherd for 4 weeks off the coast of west africa documenting overfishing and senseless torture. to live off an option for spent many weeks on ships and the work of these activists these biologists these people i followed and was with and worked with they're my heroes. at the beginning of december clovis turn to a feast friends plan to cross the atlantic you know to raise awareness for heroes of the sea. the photos he's taken for his project will be used for a book and video material documentary film. is shot in normal the spec for the have enormous respect for the ocean because of the unpredictability of what can happen there you can never underestimate the power

of the water and the power of the waves. are life threatening on taking to show us reality. to australia and the city of lintz not perhaps as well known for its cultural gems as vienna all salzburg but it does have something no other european city has a festival called electronica which combines art with technology and every year explores how the digital revolution is turning our lives upside down and in 2014 the city was officially awarded the title of unesco city of media arts with its own oz electronica museum which is just being renovated. here on the banks of the danube river a giant u.f.o. appears to have landed the ares electronica center in linz is celebrating its

reopening with a new exhibition that's all about artificial intelligence smart machines that are set to change our lives in ways nothing short of revolutionary. if you can ease and became cheo is a real game changer not just a turbo boost if it digitalisation dean and i mean it's the beginning of a whole new set of rules and this is a development we consciously leave to engineers will take companies alone we as a society all have to have a say in this. ai for everyone without hype or hysteria presented playfully. division here isn't one of humans versus machines but of the machine as a part of us human made. here visitors faces blend together showing one of ai's dangers the potential for deception fakes and fraud who's who. and who's doing the talking we're entering an era in which our enemies can make it look

like anyone is signing anything at any point in time but it may not be who you think it is what we trust from the internet. ai can even bring the dead or artworks to life. but it has a long way to go the so-called deep learning is supposed to allow this computer to recognize objects but it clearly still is learning what's this a lemon a tennis ball an apple. beyond the challenges and the risks the curator sees possibility. that a movie had with the opportunities that will come from iowa in machine learning may be really important if you want to solve the climate crisis. this into the or even get it under control board. here the goal is getting people to join the conversation and the younger the better put on your 3 d.

glasses that deep space section takes kids and teens on a journey with 8 k. ultra high rez technology. from the human face. to outer space. and each show and it's with a dance party. became this that's welcomed them kids have a slightly different approach when they come to me they also have some pre-set notions but they're a lot more open they aren't afraid and they come and talk it over them and they're constantly exploring. the ors electronica center in linz austria is a rendezvous with our not so distant future a clearer view of where we're heading next.

my colleague david leavitt is here with me now david looks pretty cool but also a little creepy as well i mean i can make anyone say anything it likes really mona lisa obama yeah it's a little bit dangerous actually this is a technique called deep fake that has been used actually to create fake news and it is scary in the era of fake news when you can have a politician give a fake press conference and post it online it's also been used to create fake porn using real people who are not porn actors so. great for creative work if you want to make mona lisa talk in your movie but this is really a technology that we have to be very careful indeed now let's talk about the electronics that sensor recently reopened but it is much more than a family museum isn't it is there are actually. searchers there who are at the cutting edge of ai and the arts i'm going to show you one example it's a guy whose work is pretty cool maybe a little creepy. who's a scientist and

a musician now he's teaching ai to replicate human responses to music that means someday you might be at a concert with an ai robot sitting next to you and when they have goosebumps at the same time that you've got goosebumps then you'll know that this guy allie necron his work has paid off all this is taking place and. you know it's not like vienna or something but known for the low tech pleasures and thinking of the yummy cake the linz atoll to makes its aims and you're going to bring that up. yeah i'm planning on having a piece of that later yeah that's actually where the city is still best known for this recipe that outdates ai by 3 or 4 centuries actually so wins austria is trying to update its image a little bit trying to come into the future and beyond the r.'s electric. electric tronic a program is also banking on creativity in general another really cool attraction

is the city's murals at its industrial harbor now just about 7 years ago artists started transforming this harbor into what's now called mural harbor it's got hundreds of works by international crews from 30 countries and what's great is that you can take a boat tour to see them all this is the biggest space of its kind in europe so if you're if you're there they say that was always a mind of information thank you very much. now composers are inspired by many things love longing heartache perhaps they're inspired by other music or sometimes other musicians and there's the sun the moon the planets go stuff post wrote a 7 movement ok stroll sweet about them all the see the countryside maybe even a magnificent building but furniture oh much more specifically chaz yes that's when the muse strikes the pinnace to compose a face straka is she is if you had spied. on
