they are the musters of self publicity and provocation but this time the headlines are positive guitarist's. crisper of german band ramstein kissed on stage in moscow in what is being seen as a protest against russian anti l g b t c 2 the band later posted a photo of the case on instagram with the caption russia. it has to be said it's not the 1st time the 2 guitarists have kissed on stage but of course it's of special significance in russia now the band have a huge following there so much sorrow that a russian cover band called radio tap or translate their songs into russian on a very successful themselves getting radio plays and their copycat videos getting millions of clicks on social media.

you bristle over that when they were going to their house but i just had to do it i started immediately called the guys and we recorded the video in just 4 days ramstein had been silent for 10 years and everyone was just waiting for something new. like i'm still available to. messing up business says offices for the comedy d.l. drama stein's do it sound radio top welcome or than 4000000 views on you tube it became one of the most successful music videos front man or like is a huge brownstein found like many of his fellow countrymen. given what is a car i think it is all because of the language together with the guitar riffs they use it creates this effect of brutality the combination of language and music do

you feel if it was in any other language it wouldn't be the same that the sea of german suits this music so well. yes about the bold and the good music at the mall but no but the mask is a chocolate. mama stein's do hostage is also a huge hit in russia it was not an easy task for leg to translate this one is in his native language. funny funny funny my thought but i'm such i want to play also that no one in russia understood what song was about that it's when i told my compatriots what it was about and most of us they all got a bit confused. they said was related to what we thought it was about cutting something down and pouring gasoline on it but no not just. to the surprise of many russian fans rum stein missing in about

a wedding doing only eggs schooldays ramstein was the sole motivation for the ending jamming he got pretty good at it he's now also pretty good at imitating ramstein front man lindemann the rights of the moment to deal with the part like to turn myself into linda he's so crazy that hitting his knee thing he does is song and the dark characters he creates in his songs are amazing to recreate the record those are. the words. radio tapioca have to admit russia and neighboring countries in their orange van or like also translates the songs of other major english speaking world bands linkin park system of a down and go last have all found their russian voice thanks to him he produces most of his hits here in his apartment just outside moscow 3 years ago some songs he translated went viral now he has over a 1000000 you cheap subscribers who want him to translate that face which hits.

my aim was for someone to be able to sit down in their car turn a song and listen to it as if it were a native speaker and they could effortlessly understand the lyrics which i'm with you would because a very few people in russia speak foreign languages but unlike when europe is. such. a very rigid old democrats and from radio town hall ramstein in russian and it certainly found a new audience. now the use of facial recognition is becoming ever more widespread anyone who's been through an airport lately might have had their queuing time cut considerably thanks to the technology but unlike all fingerprints all passwords facial recognition can be used quickly all mass whether we like it all malt a new documentary asked what the human face has become all become in this world of

surveillance and how this is all playing out when it comes to alt. 6 the eyes of the state in cities across china being in a public space means being under the watchful eye of surveillance cameras here each individual's identity is captured with facial recognition. totally controlled for many it's a dystopian nightmare. but could this also happen to us last year a test run for facial recognition software was carried out of the train station in the south in the federal police wanted to know this software could recognize $300.00 volunteers who moved about within view with the cameras to hit rate was 70 percent that pilot project was the inspiration for good conrad's documentary film face it to begin with the digitalization of the face is an incredible encroachments on us as people and this is going to continue because the face is the part of the

body that's in the open and unprotected you can just access it. off to go out of. our faces mentioned and turned into digital card who does a belong to and who should have access to that data those demonstrating against the pilot project at the train station believe no one should have access to it they say that those who are controlled by the stage will not be able to move as freely as they would like to but the protesters are in the minority hardly any of the passers by at the train station seemed bothered by the surveillance on the contrary there is a protest in the film we film the road test and most of those who came in radzivill leaflet said they think it's ok. now and none of this is new the german state has had access to its citizens facial data for some time in the form of biometric passport photographs the film makes clear that the

digital flow of data whether to corporations or government agencies is stoppable. but face it doesn't limit itself to the pros and cons of facial recognition it also looks at how. a few years ago jim an artist you on this one bismarck mounted a book called public finds the giant's money changed its expression based on estimates of the season and that's my dad the big hero the smiley has moving eyes and mouth because it's kind of built to mimic the way algorithms read faces go to them and that's what we want the thought was made that people become aware that their own vegas is no longer a private. 6 place it is the viewer to stay vigilant and ask what the future of facial recognition homes what exactly is happening without data and whether it can ever be deleted. 6 6 6
