yes deadly bacteria keeps trying to take. 60 minutes you. know crime fighters are back together with the africa's most successful radio drama series continues from the all of us owens are available online and of course you can share and discuss on w. africa's facebook page and other social media platforms crime fighters tune in now . i've been thinking about the idea of flying cities for a long time as our planet circles the sun we humanity and all planetary species are travelling at a speed of 76000 miles an hour the idea of flying cities isn't really that utopian

from a cosmic perspective if i told an astronaut about it he'd tell me what we're already flying. explore the pressing issues of our 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 just. there you go you know. thank. you very much. 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 sara sonos burly in studio where he plans and prepare as his many projects. etc santa 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 sourced off to 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 means we carry foxtons.

kimmy. a former 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 don't want to 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 center began experimenting with the idea of floating cities in 2011. that year he showcased his cloud cities project at butlins. gallery this project like so many others question the way we live as a society and in visions new forms of human co-exist. and community. has

belin show featured a network of cloud like orbs that visitors could climb into what would it be night to inhabit such a floating city to live and work there. what matters to cyrus sena is that we realize that everything is interconnected that way just part of a greater whole 'd '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 can we be your core grow will compass for the inside of a lot of those who are i think responsibility can mean confronting certain problems and that i'm not excusing the day we face pressing issues like global warming and

then equality who want to lead them in don't know when they see we're lucky or not also the extinction of certain species and people dying on this planet or on one of them in sort of the general but it's ok i don't think it is enough to see individual answers to these issues in either allowed follow that we need global all encompassing answers we have seen lupul plats why i am always looking to forge new alliances adopt a new perspectives and take new steps that can bring about the changes our planet desperately needs when you want to your community are going to turn as it appears. in or tim 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 the elite take 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 web. by their webs were a starting point. like have been fascinated by them for a very long time they are connected to the spiders they are a part of their body who not only are no liner 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 the. most spiders that make webs are blind. by creating a web they're essentially creating their own sensory ability. 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 a rock made symphony. tiny dust particles attract and also transformed into sounds the more people pass through this room the more the particles swirl around the spine does register these movements and sounds creating a form of interaction between them under visitors. we . started with my obsession with spider webs. so we set out making all kinds of them knocking. that

technique and also invented a machine together with the technical university of darmstadt. they brought my idea to life if you like basically nash in uses laser signals to weave intricate web and so they're going to go to really the last move complete has. to do they want to i mean if we're going to that got many academics interested in giving up until then i said nobody had managed to create such a detailed map of spider webs and this is really 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're not omnipotent and then that i'm innocent and you know. with no hope one of the genes let along with spiders and spider webs and recently

as they've played an important moment in his office holder what exactly fascinated him about number and when did this fascination start or tickle me so i thought oh how to him what well 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 money. 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 to join us in a clear connection there what strikes me at my studio is that many people still suffer from a rock and a phobia. a terrible fear of spiders you all. under when people visit

the studio and realize that it's largely a populated by spiders and spider webs many of them grow uncomfortable these go forward. and we've been to see if we kept puppies or kittens here people would say oh what a 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 to discover the co relationships and synergies between species think about is something when you come into a spider nets have a special symbolism because you see all these connections these threads which go from one side to the other. so if you ask me what fascinates me most about spiders

it's the special beauty of their webs you know he's just a lawyer. in his installations which take up entire have rooms santa's senate plays at the pattens and shakes found in his ideas website. visitors can even enter into a huge web and experience the world from a spine to specific tips were. nope nope instead of with many of my works because i'm not thinking about the speculator you are i'm also not thinking about the outside world which makes us feel foreign or different will walk in with these words i'm trying to create something all encompassing for and that's why i like to work with really large services if you move around on one side of this web the people on the other side move to when i move around because vibrations.

influence the space. and the spiders respond. or maybe this will let us find a new way of communicating with one another which my work is about creating these kinds of connections and going to out of the ok it's not just about seeing what's around us who's in texas look i'm here i'm interested in interactions if there is i'm 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 center doesn't tame to definitively ohmss such questions rather he uses his thoughts to get people's thinking. and his work out of the rhythms visitors and to an interactive network they see and feel the vibrations triggered by themselves and others.

seem quaint he employs many different disciplines in his art of astrophysics or engineering biology he even explores musical composition with the help of spiders so why is this kind of into disciplinary work so important to have reporters on the board 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 perspectives 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 comes 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 anting gauge with a broad spectrum of finding its. 'd

'd one that's captured cyrus and his imagination is humans a long held fascination with flying. in our time the dream of life has turned into a nightmare that's due to the way we fly about the earth flying is a total disaster because we're reliant on fossil fuels on lithium on batteries or other kinds of raw materials extract to meet their extraction endangers the survival of many species. for we need to find new ways of making the notion of flying a possible dream again. and then we're going to pursue this when you know. 3 years santa center has been experimenting with flying arrow solus sculpture at such

a variety of locations around the globe these free floating sculptures on 50 only by the sun and carried only by the wind and the maple flights without the consumption of fossil fuel it's a radical concept. this is how to mass that i say know started to become interested in the possibilities of a new way what he calls ever seen the aerial era. but isn't there then we must go and i think the term that best describes the era we're living in now is the capital of the i don't see the age of rampant capitalism . the era seen as an epoch of hope and age which is radically different from the capital of c. . are they coming to the. capital saying or does

everything that changes our habits but not the climate helps to usher in a new era removing one we call the era seen. an aerial age and 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 year. thomas said i said 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 is seen places as 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 saddest i know 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 one of them is a trickle down these sculptures rise up the 1st thing people say is how can that be it's mesmerizing and a magical moment or it will hurt but suddenly the sculpture turns and there's something on it that was written by another person. ok so me it's like an onion the

more layers you peel away the more questions arise as to how these things appear sort of political risk and he said. we've 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 and our . there is lithium mining going on in their territory in. argentina she lay in bolivia a border the area where this so-called white gold is being mined he said that iran and for every ton of lithium we know that 2000000 liters of water are required. there are $71.00 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 and everyone who lives on the edge of 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 was in pain or 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 you know. we can't wait for everyone to agree to air travel will have to be very different in the future. for my career i look you in the. saddest and most project has become a global movement artists scientists designers and activists have joined the ara scene foundation that he set up. a community his quest now it's one that comes together and engages in reykjavik.

i'm going to present a moment of truth i like the thought of a community that works like a collective and. that's why we have established 2 foundations 2nd ophelia because 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 a 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. is a 2nd community that has sprung up out of the studio is called arrow 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 led by founding a movement for change. said i said no and the arab community have developed an explorer in collaboration with mit and the red cross it enables anyone to build a floating explorer sculpture and calculate its flight path and flight curation via easel software each flight gathers day tear about air quality temperature humidity and pressure which is fed back into the software giving us more and more information about our planet. it's highways in the sky but the jet stream for instance. we're seeing is an open invitation to everyone who is fighting for a future free fossil fuels and dreaming of an. kind of boundless borderless.

said a senator's slogan from homo sapien to homo full time. for me art always means an art dialogue or an exchange and 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 clearly. the categories that exists 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 a new heart has this ability this generosity or this innocence is that the people who say no 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. side of center is continually venturing out with childlike curiosity into the wilds

he said that he can better understand our planet and our cosmos. well there. all. 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. 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 a. 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 and neighboring universe 163000 light years away. but if we're short of reflection about the future is of central significance for me what plans does he have for his own future. one of the employees when you. were going to do a course in the 100 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 misses here who are from 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 that many 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 questions about off each. one a little 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 a loss and but the journey is the destination the journey we will often lose our way on this journey but we will continue on with enthusiasm and hope for e
