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 betts 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 which 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 sings down the german coast focused its attention on the environment under threat in. america really got these are certain hardly 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. for his project heroes of the sea so this is documented in the work of those fighting against the destruction of our oceans this was with the conservation organization sea shepherd for 4 weeks off the

coast of west africa documenting of a fishing 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 avestan to a few friends planned 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 the video material. film. because of the enormous respect 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 it's. a life threatening on taking to show us reality.

to australia and the city of linz 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 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 laws electronic a 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 limits 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 of the digitalisation clean and i mean it's the beginning of a whole new set of rules and this is a development we consciously leave to engineers or take companies alone we as a society all have to have a say made 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. 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 who may not be who you think it is with what we trust from. a i can even bring the dead or

artworks to life. but it has a long way to go 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 curators see the possibility. to do them because we know the opportunities that will come for ai and machine learning may be really important if we want to solve the climate crime. the or even get it under control boy. here the goal is getting people to join the conversation and the younger the better put on your 3 d. glasses the 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 this with a dance party. became this that's open time kids have a slightly different approach when they come commitment they also have some pre-set notions but they're a lot more open they aren't afraid to come and talk it over them and they're constantly exploring. the r.'s 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's 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 actor 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 and let's talk about the electronics that sensor recently reopened but it is much more than a family museum is it is there are actually. researchers 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 make wrongs work has paid off all this is taking place and. you know it's not like vienna or something but known for bold low tech pleasures i'm 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 with the city still best known for this recipe that outdates ai by 3 or 4 centuries actually so linz 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 and other really cool attraction is the city's murals at its industrial harbor just about 7 years ago artists started transforming this harbor and so it'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 david i was always a mine of information thank you very much. now composers are inspired by many things love longing heartache times that are inspired by other music or sometimes other musicians and there's the sun the moon the planets go stuff post wrote a 7 movement or kestrel sweet about them over say the countryside maybe even a magnificent building but furniture oh much more specifically chaz yes that's when the muse strikes for pinnace to compose a face straka ish is if you can find. on a park bench by berlin's brandenburg gate face track it composes music inspired by seating these are the sounds of the bench near the city's t.v.
