in 60 minutes t w. e d y d yes it is all this way to bring you more conservation. how do we make city screeners how can we protect habitats we can make a difference in the ideas for mental series against obesity also on g.w. and on mine. i've been thinking about the idea of flying cities for a long time since the war as our planet circles the sun we know it is humanity and all planetary spins are travelling at a speed of 76000 miles an hour the idea of flying cities isn't really about utopian from a cosmic perspective if i told an astronaut about it he'd tell me what we're already

flying. 'd thomas said us and his art works explore the pressing issues of all times reflecting on how we can live more sustainable lives and use our resources more sparingly he's also interested in alternative means of travel and how art can inspire us to think outside the box. a little bit. i think. when you go over. to create the kind of. the argentinian performance and installation artist takes an interdisciplinary approach to his work. and regularly cooperates

with scientific research institutions like when he launched this experiment in bolivia to test out the possibilities of emissions free air travel. this is sad to say nose beilin studio where he plans on prepares his many projects. status and who has always been fascinated by the interplay between art and science he studied art and architecture in argentina and then attended frankfurt's. art school on a scholarship he also took part in a nasa research project. has become an internationally source half the artist in part because his work ponders some of the most urgent questions we face today such as how can we shape our future and how much responsibility we carry far actions. kimmie. forward who is to say no you might as well ask me about the some of the

different parts what makes someone the course and they are or you but i want to know if i have the feeling we as humans tend to see ourselves as extraordinary as somehow superior to other species. but in reality we struggle to forge real relationships with other species or does it not real relationships founded on solidarity are essential to our progress this is. santa sena began experimenting with the idea of floating cities in 2011. that year he showcased his cloud cities project at butlins hamburger bought off gallery this project like so many others question the way we live as a society and in vision and new forms of human coexistence and community. his beilin show featured a network of cloud like the visitors. could climb inside what would it be night to

inhabit such a floating city to live and what's there. what matters to sara sena is that we realize that everything is interconnected it's that we're just colleagues of a greater whole 'd 'd. this does he have the feeling that all the attention afforded to him all his success and popularity goes hand in hand with a certain responsibility when you look more grow will compass all of the inside of a lot of those who are i think responsibility can mean confronting certain problems that mexicans are going today we face pressing issues like global warming and then the quality going to lead them in don't know when they see we're lucky and but also

the extinction of certain species and people dying on this planet of whom one of them in sort of the terror of it but it's ok i don't think it is enough to see individual answers to these issues. that we need global all encompassing answers as we process it would pull plats why i am always looking to forge new alliances adopt new perspectives and take new steps that can bring about the changes our planet desperately needs you know where you want to come your community are going to end as a country and. in orton 2018 sad to say no showcased his own installation at paris's laid to tokyo contemporary art venue it focused on the importance of and how we as a species of polluting this vital element. santo

santo set up 76 spider webs to make the air more tangible as it were spiders have inhabited the earth for hundreds of millions of years and seems to spin their intricate webs. the spider webs were a starting point. live been fascinated by them for a very long time they're connected to the spiders they are a part of their body they're not an enormous reiner in only sense a small bug is near because of the vibrations it sends through the well. without the well but it could neither feel nor see its prey. most spiders that make webs are blind. by creating a web they're essentially creating their own sensory abilities that. allowing them to feel the world and other species around them. the installation translated the vibrations of spiders movements into audio signals creating

a kind of arachnid symphony. our tiny dust particles attract and also transformed into sounds the more people pass through this room the more the particles whirl around. find as registered these movements and sounds creating a form of interaction between them and the visitors. started with my obsession with spider webs so we set out making all kinds of them mocking our. technical you also invented a machine together. with the technical university of dharma. they brought my idea

to life if you like the basically gnashing uses laser signals to weave intricate web and so the unicorn really the last move complete has. the label no i mean if we were that got many academics interested in the figure but until then said nobody had managed to create such a detailed map of spider webs and my team and so i got by did by the massachusetts institute of technology and max planck institute to get them to study spider webs and their surroundings to to better understand these creatures that they that i knew then that i'm innocent and. 'd with no hope one of these letters along with spiders and spider webs and recently is they've played an important moment in his office all of us what exactly fascinated him out of that and when did this fascination start or your common sense

of it all how to commit him what will i always say you work with spiders i always say no spiders work with me merely because they've been here for more than 200000000 years so we can only learn from them not the other way around my work is almost anthropological an attempt to reconstruct today's image of what it means to be human in this collection of bacteria and other inhabitants i'm trying to redefine our relationship to those with whom we share the planet. together with natural scientists sarah said now has set up his own lab in his studio in berlin to study spiders and that behavior. you know look at me sujoy is a myth. what strikes me at my studio is that many people still suffer from a rock and a phobia a terrible fear of spiders i mean to you or. look at it and when a people visit the studio. and realize that it's largely

a populated by spiders and spider webs many of them grow uncomfortable these going forward. and we're going to see if we kept puppies or kittens here people would say oh what pretty kitty they don't usually do that when they see spiders. yet spiders are very different you must aim not only to differentiate between the various species but to see what unites spiders and what separates them from one another and of course on the other to discover the co relationships and synergies between species think about is using one of them into one of the spider nets have a special symbolism because you see all these connections these threads which go from one side to the other. a little bit so if you ask me what fascinates me most about spiders it's the special beauty of their webs you know they use

a lawyer. in his installations which take up entire rooms santa senate plays with the patterns and shapes found in his spider's web site. visitors can even enter into a huge web and experience the world from a spited space that tips were. no nope and static and with many of my works is because i'm not thinking about the speculator i'm also not thinking about the outside world which makes us feel foreign or different though who can with these words i'm trying to create something all encompassing. that's why i like to work with really large surfaces and if you move around on one side of this well the people on the other side move to when i move around i cause vibrations which influence the space. and the spiders respond. or maybe this will let us find a new way of commune. hating with one another and with my work is about creating

these kinds of connections and going through out of the ok it's not just about seeing what's around us. i'm interested in interactions it goes on with him on a variety of levels and with different groups of people who know. what can we learn about ourselves from working with other species and does this change the way we deal with one another. sarah sent it doesn't aim to definitively ohmss such questions rather he uses his arts to get people's thinking. and his work algorithms visitors and to an interactive network they see and feel the vibrations triggered by themselves and of this. seem quaint he employs many different disciplines in his arts in astrophysics or engineering or biology he even explores musical composition with the help of

spiders so why is this kind of into disciplinary work so important to his work as that important on the part of you think that connects you on basically not one of these there. because it keeps opening up new worlds when you only look at a phenomenon from one perspective you're missing out on all the other perspective the other ways of sensing reality or thinking about it it seems to me that these days we often forget about these other realities. is it prompts people to change their perspective and encourage dialogue sort of said always presents the results of his exchanges with natural scientists and experts from a variety of disciplines. he wants all of us to be open to gauge with a broad spectrum of finding it's. cool . one that's captured some dissent is imagination is humans long held

fascination with flying. in our time the dream of flight has turned into a nightmare that's due to the way we fly at the top of the earth flying is a total disaster because we're reliant on fossil fuels on lithium on batteries or other kinds of all materials expect to meet their extraction endangers the survival of many species. for we need to find new ways of making the notion of flight one possible dream again when north. san a center has been experimenting with flying arrows solis to variety of locations around the globe. only by the song and carried only by the wind

and enable flights without the consumption of fossil fuel is a radical concept. this is how to mass that i say no started to become interested in the possibilities of a new. one he holds. the aerial air around. the president think then we must go and i think the term that best describes the era we're living in now is the capital of. the age of rampant capitalism. the era seen as an epoch of hope and age which is radically different from the capitalist scene gate i think i'm into the thing that i got into the toilet. everything that changes our habits but not the climate helps to usher

in a new era the moving one we call the era seen. an aerial age an era in which we demonstrate awareness of one another and of the environment and work together to invent new rituals and new customs to create this iraq. thomas said us in those areas seen projects requires a radical rethink on our part to enduring natural resources rising emissions climate change and the extinction of many species are destroying the very basis of our life on us. air or seen places that are not human beings at the center of. protecting not polluting the element that keeps us alive is its main goal a way of making amends to mother a us while that may sound like a utopian ideal sad to say no and his team have already proven that some of their

ideas work in the real world. in argentina the era seen foundation team has already set several world records among them the 1st manned fully solar free flight with a hot air balloon it reached a height of 272 meters covered 1.7 kilometers and was airborne for over an hour. the team's next goal is to be able to transport several people at once powered only by the sun's ultraviolet rays and fulfilling the dream of emissions free travel. conversely wonder this earth will put on these sculptures rise up please the 1st thing people say is that how can that be it's mesmerizing and a magical moment here but suddenly the sculpture turns and there's something on it that was written by another person because it is for me it's like an onion the more layers you peel away the more questions arise as to how these things are for.

there's a. we just got back from argentina and we were working a lot with indigenous communities there they have taken a clear stand against the colonial processes endangering their environment. that there is lithium mining going on in their territory in. argentina chile and bolivia board of the area where this so-called white gold is being mined he said. and for every ton of lithium we know that 2000000 liters of water are required there are 71 kilos of lithium and one tesla this is an area already plagued by drought. if we start to excavate lithium to satisfy the consumerism of today's capitalist society everyone who lives on the edge of the the salt flats will die. along with the animals and the vegetation there and the communities who live there will be forced

to leave. school that's why we're asking how can we change our habits so that it doesn't lead to climate change. what kind of habits and rhythms does the planet desperately require to regain its equilibrium. and. we can't wait for everyone to agree air travel will have to be very different in the future. i. said a sentence project has become a global movement artists scientists designers and activists have joined the ara scene foundation that he set up. a community. it's one that comes together and engages in regular dialogue.

moment of truth i like the thought of a community that works like a collective and. that's why we have established 2 foundations. one of them is called arachne ophelia. like arachnophobia its members are friends to spiders and their webs it is a nonprofit organization that is working to save certain ecosystems and the kind of community of friends that also exists beyond the studio to. do this community is researching how we can ensure the long term existence of certain ecosystems and life forms. because a 2nd community that has sprung up out of the studio is called aero seen this to consist of people working in the studio as well as an ever growing impassioned community of people outside who are pursuing it as

a hobby there are people who believe that we can change our way of life and not just by changing individual mobility but by founding a movement for change. and the era seeing community have developed an explorer collaboration with mit and the red cross it enables anyone to build a floating explorer a sculpture and calculate its flight path and flight duration viii source software each flight gathers data about air quality temperature humidity and pressure which is fed back into the software giving us more and more information about our planet and what set a cent oh kohls it's highways in the sky like the jet stream for instance. kerosene is an open invitation to everyone who is fighting for a future free of fossil fuel and dreaming of a new kind of boundless borderless maybe. set it centers slogan from home with sappy and. homophone time.

for me art always means a dialogue or an exchange. that for example the art involving the spiders and spider's web. we have to form new alliances and new ways of working to understand our world. and the categories that exist today tend to separate us from one another rather than to unite us. it seems to me that art can help us in this process if you know art has this ability this generosity or this innocence is that producing those in art you continue to search with childlike innocence and it seems to me that that is exactly what can help us to see the world with other raw. data center is continually venturing out with childlike curiosity into the wild he said that he can better understand our planet and. all of.

those. projects and event horizon has taken him to the new uni's salt flats in bolivia the artist is fascinated by the way the horizon quite literally dissolves. it's going to. be there in the early hours of the morning a very thin layer of water vapor hovers above the surface of the flats and for just a few moments the horizon looks as if it has been ever. the surface of the earth forms a giant mirror of the universe that surrounds us 'd it's a fascinating meditative phenomena and. you can even see reflections of light emitted by the large magnetic cloud a neighboring universe 163000 light years away.

but if we're short of action about the future is of central significance. what plans does he have for his own future. one of the employees when you. were going to do a course anything 101 when he was my plans for the future are to continue working as we have done recently and they found at the same time to increasingly question the logistics of the art industry the transport of artwork and my own mobility and since you know who to form and to consider alternative ways for us artists to be present or if if we become conscious of our planet and its atmosphere then we should also start to show solidarity with all of the others on board the co passengers in our world at the beginning but we need to consider how we can continue this journey together to see.

he's opening our eyes to what's going on and now. it's also an invitation to engage with bunning question a bounce off each. one a bit old can i hope that the balloon that lifted off with 2 passengers and who we probably will soon be able to carry 3 or 4 people. and if we can already fly at an altitude of up to 272 meters for almost 2 hours and then i hope that in the future you'll be able to travel to interview me from colombia for example without your having to take a plane i was at the once and i don't know but the journey is the destination journey we will often lose our way on this journey but we will continue on with enthusiasm and hope for a a if it is a. bomb
