they share private footage with others that he's been seen before. back in. charge of people 28 d. w. . the 93rd a cademy awards are now history and in many ways they made history with a scaled down in person event split between 2 locations in los angeles we'll look at how they reflected the changes afoot in film and filmmaking also coming up. 92 year old japanese artist going to the mob is having her largest ever retrospective in europe here in berlin and the show covers 7 decades of her work.

and in our continuing series 100 german must reads we feature austrian writer joseph ross novel job of reworking the coast story. welcome to arts and culture it was a very different oscars in 2021 with the upside being a very diverse lineup of nominees but meanwhile many commentators postulated that ratings would dive and that most people not being able to even see the majority of the films had simply lost interest but see how it panned out. from the center of hollywood prepared to mic to the main los angeles train station mid pandemic a nice room where this happened. that was the best actress winner frances mcdormand who led the acting in what was named for the best picture of 2020 nomad land a tale of down and out americans living out of their vehicles. and the coast to.

glow is our moment right. it was directed by the groundbreaking chinese born chloe jo the 1st asian woman to take home the best director award. this is for anyone. who have the faith and the courage to hold on to the goodness in themselves in a delayed toned down intimate event in a socially just space the winners were more diverse than in years past. and the oscar goes to. judge young you take for example korean winner union john of the best supporting actress award from the film inari own elected thanks to my 2 boys who make me pull out and work so. stunned oh i knew it. this is that because mommy was so hot. also

picking up a statue with the film judas and the black messiah supporting actor daniel kalu you who in his own way offered a wait what moment is incredible last incredible moment that he had 6 it's amazing legis it over here you mean so i'm so happy to be alive so it was a really that's a no. you are probably a diverse array of reactions to the top honors amid such diverse array of nominees and winners. diversity writ large at this year's oscars and of course scott roxboro joins me now on the line from bonn welcome scotch now finally as what i feel like saying after all these years the diversity message seems to have gotten through what stood out for you this time round. well i mean the best picture with a really stood out not only because it was directed by a chinese director chloe child but also because it seems really to speak at this

moment in time i mean this is i think a moment for all of us after the year of the pandemic where we're fearing feeling vulnerable where we're perhaps more introspective and and this film really is a very introspective movie about an incredibly vulnerable woman played by frances mcdormand who has lost everything and is living out of her van as a as a modern day nomad. in some ways this film can be seen as almost a retelling of the american western or of the american dream story and i think it's interesting that it did strike such a chord with the academy this year because i think it's coming at a time when so many people also in america are going to question question their national miss and the and the stories that they tell each other and i think it's very significant and and really a deserving winner for this year's oscars that's really interesting and great to see chloe's all making history in so many ways only the 2nd woman ever to win best director tell us a bit more about her as a filmmaker. yeah she's fascinating i mean she's

a chinese born director but she's probably the most insider director and best seller of the american underclass really in all in the whole earth her 1st 3 films and what she does she basically embeds with the people the story she telling and she usually works only with nonprofessional actors nomad lands the 1st time she's actually worked with professional actors with francis dormant and the rest of the cast almost the entire rest of the cast are nonprofessionals they're playing versions of themselves and what i find so fascinating about is that she's really taking a very american for the western with a road movie and giving it a completely new spin and also a very female focused point of view and i think that's what really causes her to have such strength as a director now in terms of surprises i guess the surprise ending left a few people cold. yes this is very fascinating they put the best actor award at the end usually that's the best picture goes and i think they did that because they soon but we all did that the winner would be chadwick boseman the late actor who

died last year i was nominated for his final performance in black bottom but when the award was announced it wasn't chadwick boseman but anthony hopkins who won for his role playing a man suffering from dementia and the father unfortunately mr hopkins wasn't at the ceremony so instead of ending with a very touching moment in tribute to the trap with those men we ended with a bit of a damp squib. ok well i'm sure the data isn't in yet but it's interesting that in the lead up to the oscars the overall interest was low many were questioning the point of all of this event especially in a pandemic year how did this ceremony work actually and is is the model i've dated do you think. yeah the ceremony itself i think given the conditions that had to be produced under was fine it felt felt like almost like a regular normal award ceremony but maybe that's the problem because this this format of the 3 hour long award ceremony really feels old hack by now it feels like a throwback to another era i. especially in the instagram world that we live in now

maybe there's something they have to do something new to attract the younger audience or and the young fans hoping that for next year's ceremony that will be interesting to see what that looks like thanks so much for that analysis scott roxboro in bonn and stay safe. oh when you i quiz i was just a girl and now merged with painting and drawing her mother took away her aunts and paints in the hope that she would lead a respectable life all the artists in her saw no other choice but to escape literally to new york city and emotionally into mental illness over the next 7 decades art was a way to manage her own mind and at 90 to her of the now on show digitally here in berlin is dancing introspective and complex. huge turns because draw us into the world of your kusama the princess of paul conducts a major retrospective at the march in gropius bow in berlin pays tribute to the 92

year old japanese artist. so the in says realizing the desire of her to create needed like a parallel grew worse in which you know she sometimes lives it so the polka dots are way to create also for us a completely different ways of looking. creates whole new world psychedelic and disorienting from the artist had to pollution nations and anxiety attacks flashes of lights and threatening to engulf her installations put us in charge with her in a world. like that like the you know you get slightly dizzy you suddenly think oh what's happening with the floor and if you look longer on the wall you suddenly feel like i was there through the war there is this kind of going into into that so it is of course a kind of way of playing with the way we see our bijan missing she's very good in

kind of every taping how we can see and therefore also of course questioning you know what is the normal way of looking. for the past 40 years kusama has lived in a mental institution. in japan but by day she paints obsessive li in a studio situated across the road. i'm not sure if it is a suggestion from my illness or if i wanted to do that we because i am totally absorbed in creating the piece when i am creating my work so everything disappears around me my friends create the work. the retrospective traces her oxygen journey over 7 decades of intoxicating

creativity in the 1960 s. to some i left her native japan for new york and found a place in the world of flower children political everett shocking she staged happenings against the vietnam war and against the prudish sexual morality of the time but doctors now adorns of naked bodies to somerset to go to story artist she was one of the 1st you know who did make it performances and even at the time in new york that was shocking and i mean that is something of course this has has revolutionized also. that the presence of the body the idea of that we can be naked is of course sexual but it's also true as a vulnerability it shows a way of how the human body connects with the environment. to some has recalibrated the world and push its boundaries gender boundaries personal boundaries even the boundaries of the universe and chancing and visionary she makes

lots of points about the nature of existence and leads us to wards infinity. life is finite joseph roth only lived to be 44 years old but in his short career. he wrote a dozen or so novels and huge amount of journalism but most of those novels are habitually overlooked in the modern canon and so this week's pick of german books in translation is job his novel of jewish life in europe that we feel shouldn't exist this is the biggest jewish cemetery in europe bisons they in berlin here in germany jewish cemeteries will always be a reminder of the millions of jews murdered by the nazis before the holocaust most of the world's jewish population lived in eastern europe nowadays there's hardly any jewish life there left at all.

use of quotes novel job tells about life in the shuttle or jewish village whose main character a torah instructor named mendel singer faces challenges of biblical proportions like the job of the bible he survives one twist of fate after another and his horrible loss has put his face. i am alone i will remain alone during all these years i have loved god and he has hated me all the arrows from his quiver have already the temper kill me but he's too cruel for that. job was published in 1933 years before hitler took power but even then it was read as a swan song to the jews of eastern europe he was a poet spoke allows us to see and smell the dirt poverty and misery of the shuttle we understand mental singers struggles with tradition has a longing for freedom and his anger with god but it's also an uplifting novel full

of warmth and hope the actress and singer marlene a detainee's called job her favorite book maybe you will too. don't forget about our website for more arts and culture and until next time. from us here in berlin and he doesn't just. go to the people vote for over a mention home the 4th time from the most. literal that means the bottom of the families at the last dragon his words. to use. it was trying to say that's a good bye to the queen because i wanted to see if germany was the making the last few years have been quite o'brien. and learned to love her but when it comes to

jump and of course always look right in the eyes for a cheer up perhaps the biggest sun the new hobby of mine i'm going on the river and i love to be the beauty there are pros and there are calls but when you feel the giving you realize it's called just another way of never hey are you ready to be inferred me. digital art works like this one are selling for big money thanks largely to f.t.'s provenance ascribing block chain tech but who profits from the crypto art market and what danger is the trying to hide that's our topic unshift today. paintings regularly self a crazy prices but buying a digital works for $69000000.00 us dollars that you could download for free that's insane and yet that's what this digital kalash sold for by the us artist mike

winkleman who goes by the name people he could hardly believe it himself. even though i like yeah. unfathomable number to be quite honest. i think i would have been surprised too that kalash is currently the 3rd most expensive work ever auctioned by a living artist and the people jay pick is just the tip of the iceberg thing that grinds auction off digital art works for nearly $6000000.00 in just 20 minutes the gift from the young cat went for around $600000.00 and the dutch musician don dabble sold a digital concert for 1200000 dollars that's a lot of money the hype surrounding crypto art has been triggered by an f.t.c. cryptographic datasets that guarantee authenticity and origin a bit like a signature on a painting curator have found things and f.t.'s will change the art market. we have

been very much waiting for technical standards that digital works of art and he needs unique and can be treated easily for the last minimum 20 years. digital used to be hard to sell or trade but no thanks to a 15 different only original making the artwork attractive both as a correctible and as investment philip somers is sold online and paid for with cryptocurrency this is a totally new type of customer and there are people that are interested in art and creative darshan that the traditional art market just didn't know before and then be ready to spend money and support artists. for many artists the sudden spike in the rain is primarily brings an important source of income but it also means a new kind of appreciation i think that there was no way to collect that were

before and so bad some big budget but it was really influential so they have a huge huge our impact our visual language or moral and so i think it now be our local academics or look at them as you know we are as i am super super excited about. entering the op market is also becoming easier because artists can simply turn they were into any team and sell them on one of the many online packages. could this help democratize the market. more mass doc to get the more new people and you will see it will come into the market and new geographies so i think and if and the logical stand out will grant. creatives and the artists of the world much closer together in trade and collecting and physical out world was able to file some c n f t's as the next big thing others on so short their. true art they believe it's

a speculation bubble that will eventually burst there aren't only f.t.'s of art pretty much anything digital can be turned into an n.f.t. from tweets to virtual collectible cards to video game figures but hold on let's start from the top how exactly do n.f.t. work well they're created in the block chain here's how. the block chain is a chain of data blocks bound to each other using cryptographic principles before a new block is added say a transaction like a frequent purchase it 1st gets verified by thousands or even millions of computers on the network in the block chain you can generate so-called tokens push can represent a particular value or the right to carry out an anonymous transaction in the block chain like a digital coupon you can trade with. there are different types of crypto tokens.

one r n f t's which stands for non frangible token fungible means exchangeable so non-tangible means not exchange for unique or scarce money is fungible whether you have $1.00 us dollar bill or another doesn't matter the value remains the same. we used to think of digital art as somewhat fungible because it can be downloaded and copied theoretically endless number of times but now you can turn it into an effort by a process called token isolation and trace additional objects authenticity and uniqueness and actually contains all the data about who created the content how much it was sold for and who the owner and the tokens are saved in the block chain using a smart contract thanks to impression they are protected from being manipulated. currently n.f.t. trading many happens in the fear and block chain so you need a crypto wallet and the crypto currency if there are to purchase something but what happens after you've bought a digital artwork this is an important question since n.f.c.

is only safety information about the artwork not the piece itself often all you have is a link to a safe location and we all have this problem right digital data can be lost or deleted which in this case would be a pretty expensive error message and there are other problems we asked experts frawley on glass in berlin about possible risks for buyers. if. you don't get the copyrights. you really do entry on the block. or. unique and digitally read so to speak as they see there is nothing preventing the artist from saying hey i'm creating a 2nd edition of this book is the token. going. but

the lawyer doesn't think this is likely to happen despite the current time have shown no such inclination. pine i'm alive they don't have any incentive to destroy the trust of investors and purchases making more tokens for a piece of all than they had initially said they would. the conditions of sale for a not with a written in the small contracts of the n.f.t. . these can be read online for example on this website the contract can be found on the given a theory of address and anyone can view it. if the artist breaks the contract and thereby devalues the artwork then you could claim for compensation. such a case hasn't occurred yet. a further problem is how can you know the person offering the n.f.t. art is the one who made the work british tech expert terence eaton warned of this

and 2018 he put himself down in the blocks and as the creator of the mona lisa registered his work on the art verification platform there is art and nobody noticed anything strange so how can artists protect their rights on line we ask catarina fatter from artists right society in new york when it comes to lives there below the right. to do anything let them know that it's a work that's still under copyright less. literally you will be legally penalized in the long run. but how can you be sure that the person who is selling the n.f.t. is the person who made the artwork after all fake identities are a fundamental problem on the internet. of thieves have always tried to fake identities that's why solving the problem of identification is considered the holy grail. of the 21st century. i do

feel the benefits we now have institutions which try to verify the identity of. one example is the sales platform foundation artists can't just register themselves they have to be explicitly invited like for example the russian artists pussy riot . other platforms are also trying to keep fakes off their marketplace because they harm their the child missing but they don't always succeed. these digital dinosaur pictures by us artist corbin rainbolt reports up for sale by unknown people as n f t's since then he had to clear copyright stamp to his pictures are not pretty but helpful. yet there are also notable advantages for artists thanks to the block chain artists can profit from all resales of their work and keep up with who owns

their art. and interests they tensional give a lot a lot more. to the artists in the guards at work and that we sell it. but the biggest problem with n f t's is the amount of energy they use according to digic khana missed one single transaction on the theorem block chain has c o 2 emissions equal to playing around 36000 hours of you tube videos that's like streaming videos nonstop for $250.00 days this catastrophic carbon footprint of f.t.'s is being discussed in the art scene. the turkish artist and scientists memo acton examined how much energy is consumed by crypto and t's. his calculations show that every digital transaction involving an n.f.l. team whether you're creating bidding on selling or transferring one uses huge him. sounds of energy. in the case of the theory of block train this is largely due

to the proof of work standard with each bit of every transaction gets verified by the clock train. this is why many plug train start ups as well as the theory i'm a working to improve their huge c o 2 footprints. you will see that other changes will come to them are. much more efficient energy consumption so this is big. and chains will learn how to improve their. friends. until then charity auctions such as carbon drop can help counteract some of the damage just like people made their works available for the auctions and then the c o 2 emissions were compensated for by a platform similarly to flying the proceeds went to the open foundation which

supports innovative and environmentally friendly to talk projects. worth a project but it doesn't solve the problem if you're thinking too bad i would have liked on a quick to art work but not with that kind of environmental impact than here's a tip the website people generator creates pictures like those from the original kalash even beautiful was impressed. what do you think are crypt art and the future of the art market or is the whole thing just to try and tell us your thoughts goodbye and see you next time.
