the discovery of the world around you subscribed to w documentary on youtube. the me the, the greetings from balmy berlin and welcome to arts and culture. the psychological pressure cooker of a world, a wash in information inspires new work, fine, german artists know about biscuit and also coming up efforts to preserve the ancient libraries of chin getty in more retainer may be in vain. as the sahara desert encroaches at an alarming rate and durham, and also jenny, often back to the 3rd novel visitation as this week's pick for

a summer must read that steeped in history or normal pesky is one of germany's most successful contemporary artists he exhibits worldwide. but his current solo exhibition is right in his home town. awful. i pick, this infotainment explores how the pandemic age specifically has in many ways diminished our space of experience to the screens of our many technical devices. and how a world ruled by digital technology echoes other forms of oppression. me novel biscuit takes artifacts from the past and uses them to comment on our complicated present. the result is an organized chaos of computers, doors, and fluorescent tubes. almost all of which originally came from the exhibition building in so doing, he combines the design vocabulary of the 1900 eighty's with his art and the finish bombs. and i think it's incredibly interesting to have this sort of

bracket from antediluvian 1900 eighty's, east german robot. tron computers where they tried to collect people's data, but didn't really manage it to the current situation where our life is completely determined by algorithms and machines cycles. and everyone's got one of those things in their hand and stare that a smart phone, a laptop or some other monitor, laptop i'm wanting to these are systems of fines that the lights are born. burskey has arranged in front of his paintings. and what i'm mistaken, in them is an imprisonment within digital world being confronted with hatred and the system from self presentation. even against a backdrop of danger. biscuits painting is not suggestive. it makes direct even bold statements to the viewer in garish colors. the exhibition touches on teams of information overload, entertainment, and misinformation is we have an incredible flood of

information on glove. we have an incredible flood of misinformation or as incorrect absurd theory or conspiracy fears and theory in on to and on the other hand, over the past months we've unfortunately not really had any new impulses in our real life. kind of annoying and poison. obviously even for biscuit, who was socialized in east germany, the lights, the concert hello offers and intriguing location for his flourish of cheese seasons . this building has an interesting history. it was built as an extension of light, 16 own data processing center. here as and other such centers in east germany, the socialist republic was to become more digital with enormous computers. but the end of socialism put an end to those plans and the computers never arrived. not at biscuit uses this historical legacy, old rober tron pcs and other remnants of the place and arrange them

if anybody else with arms and i take on all that madness and like a child, i sit down among it all and rearrange office office or something i also do on the canvases with annoy or cut things up and glue them down again on mirrors are on campuses. i take a similar approach with the installation here and playing with the materials. i find them for the motto. he stacks the objects layers and arranges them in front of his paintings which are from various periods of his career. but put together, they express a feeling of turmoil, supposedly innocent, vulnerable faces. disc is beautiful, young men disintegrate, explode, or scream, and rage ah,

falling into an abyss. this light motif of biscuits can be seen in a large scale painting, which can be read as a reference to a fear lay world, whose downfall is being invoked. yeah. it's pretty quiet. i find 2 aspects interesting about this. one is the permanent fear mongering that the world will end. that's something that's been going on for ages the world has been ending for centuries. and on the other hand, the question of how we represent our fear and how do we actually imagine that the world is going to end doll and we stand on this for dusty very again build disinfo tainment shows norbert bisk is apocalypse, including unrestrained media consumption and the overwhelming flooded images we struggled to process that his colorful paintings. the artist conveys both dreamily and clearly the restlessness inherent in our time. and in other

news, the 2021 b. e. t are black entertainment television awards on sunday gave the impression that life was back to normal in tinseltown. megan, the stallion car d b and queen latifah were among the winners at an all out in person event that lived up to its chosen theme, which was year off. the black woman and the image will mel brooks creator of popular genre, spoofing films, such as blazing saddles and young frankenstein, and the broadway and movie versions of producers turns $95.00. on monday. the actor for doing so director and eternal comedian is one of the few people who's the chief an e got having one an emmy, a grammy, and an oscar to tony unesco world heritage sites and get tea in northern laura tamia has long been a gathering place for pilgrims, on their way to mecca,

is being eaten away by terminix trough number single, some little call this product to marty's in the cell. yes, you can see the p limitation is the best thing needed to set out because i've been trying to make some outside. another problems that she get is 5 such remaining libraries is the aggressive expansion with this with frequent sandstorms engulfing local home with them. and i would like you to know how much mean is in charge of library maintenance in order to get in the 1st way. because this month the move

in this house was built in 1993 the full season grain. sand was of it. now the june rises 50 centimeters here, but i think 20, as i said, there was a level of roof for me to that echo 60, which is 3.51 community one. note that the rows of trees planted for protection have proved no match for the encroaching desert. the to now least can get is time captured. libraries are still the most part standing. the jenny opened back was born in east berlin in 1967, and she was originally a theater and pro director before she turned to full time writing on. meanwhile, her works have been translated into nearly 20 languages. and in our series on

german books, in english, we feature her 3rd marvel visitation, which the british guardian ranked number 90 on its list of 100 best books on the 21st century quiet here in the german countryside. now, in every corner of this country, even cute little lake houses have seen some of the dark as chapters of history, especially in the last century. jennie, open beck's book. visitation is inspired by her grandmother's white house, and as many different owners who displaced each other, ah. busy busy ah, the jewish family forced to flee before the nazis murder their relatives,

an architect his wife is raped by a red army soldier in a closet. he built for her, who later runs away from the east german communists. a pair of riders returning from soviet exile. you've heard the expression, there is no place like home. but what happens when there's no way you belong? when you've arrived, can you still be said to be fleeing? and when you are fleeing, can you ever arrive in visitation? the characters fates are all tied together by the brutality of the 20th century. whether or not they realize it, it's a quiet little place in germany is not so very quiet history, me finally and yet another sign that live entertainment is resuming bruce springsteen. return to broadway this past weekend with a reprise of his offer biographical sho springsteen on broadway. it was an emotional appearance and so will leave you with that. and until next time. go, well,

i know the route route with me me me every day for us and for our planet. lied yours is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities screener? how can we protect animals in their habitat? what to do with all our waste. we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable

martin solutions overseas. our ways are truly unique and we know that that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. why dia, the environmental global $3000.00 on d, w, and me special block chain has revolutionized in the financial system in the philippines. lena is an entrepreneur from germany, and an expert on crypto currencies. she's traveling around the philippines to meet people who use black chain technologies to provide everyone with access to financial services. mm

. cleaner the current open source to the people that were not involved in financial actions. there are a lot of, i'm banks, people, people that then have no access to services that we would take for granted. like insurance, saving money, borrowing money, planning ahead further than the day that they live, because they only have money for that they, they are living actively the mm hm. and the thought been me get them on that already.

nothing that i put in and then we'll move them fed on and we'll look, i'm putting them fair that 1000 i'm body put me on i 1000 to 2 months to pay for your own gain to them and imposing them by the end. then i learned a lot now upon since i've been alone, benign jellies, i don't, i don't need people to let them. i was going to be begun. one of the i mean the but by google mother, the muggy guys, mostly mom or last. the name is

abum busch, and i thought maybe during the mr. no, i'm fine. of course i'm not you know, there are a lot of over workers from the philippines going to other countries because they can earn more there than they couldn't be. so even though their salary compared to the global standards is really low, even overseas, they can send it back to the philippines.

the uses that they pay family high fee, just to reinvent the money to their families at home. where crypto currency comes in center becomes in already is that they can send back the money with crypt currency. their family can exchange it in pawn shop where they, where they live and the fees are so much lower. and that is something that is already happening today, and that is just going to develop and improve, i believe average amount that the filipinos in home is $200.00. they'll be $20.00 out of that to get that money for their families.

because it's really a decentralized financial system doesn't need a government, it doesn't have central authority. if inter operable level, it's borderless. basically it's an option for people are excluded from the existing system where people could send money from anywhere in the worlds in the philippines using different. yeah, so a normal overseas for the worker wouldn't know how to use it. and that was one of the 1st challenges we have and what we did was we partner with similar services based in canada, or south korea or hong kong or singapore. and what they did was they provided the

1st mile for communities who have been a communities that have been overseas workers. they will just basically advertise a cheaper, faster way to send money to the philippines, making the bit going by invisible. so using bit by an, as a platform, we're able to provide a service where you could just easily sign up, make an account, putting the amount you want to put in, put in the pickup option delivery option. and then i choose the fun shop and it's done like i've sent money basically $20.00 from anywhere in the world through the philippines. and i can go downstairs for the fun shop, pick it up soon. if i get this text message or email,

there's 50000000 people younger than that 24 envelope and they are tech savvy. they're not afraid of technology. they're not afraid of official world. they kind of don't trust the banks. it's kind of like brewing, you know, like we say like a perfect storm for this kind of technology that they hold the point was being used for fraudulent activity, for stake, investment scheme for ponzi schemes. and just for scam because it was easy for the people, there was the hype, there is excitement, not a lot of knowledge, but hope of being put into it. so it doesn't only attract good people with bad

people as well. that them can make a lot of money out of that. that is not, you know, that is just a very small part of the space that doesn't reflect this, this technology and what the technology can do. the way that block chain works as opposed to a centralized system, is that the information data and control is not in the hands of a centralized entities, but it's distributed and called the nose all over. the nodes are handled independently and anybody that has enough confusing cars theory could run a node, meaning anybody could take part in the process of verifying transactions, building block chain. oh,

this is where the big difference nice because the parts and the can show just given back to the people me the plastic bank has launched a block chain based banking application for the poor. an opportunity to use plastic as money, individual collectors that would otherwise sell to a middle man who then sells to another middle man and remove the middleman. and then we transport directly from the hands of the collector to the recycler, all of the extra value that was going to all those middleman are now shared amongst the collectors. the there's a powerful roadmap ahead, the plastic bank and the application,

including financial inclusion, credit rating that service. and the app in this community is used not just to register the collector, not just to give a sense of identity, but to give a transaction history. to give the collector an opportunity to have authentic value exchanged into their account, it allows her to have a savings account. it allows her to be free of cash. how powerful to look into a bank account now and see that you actually have value our mobile phone penetration is over 100 percent. one of the fastest growing in the

world. instead of making people go to the band with just put banking into their hands up the banks that we need the bank by putting the bank in the flexible it's so much more accessible. we want everybody to, to benefit and by connecting our app to the existing systems, you know, it makes it, it, make that transition easier. it makes people adopting that because they're using the kinds of apps, you know, not that scary. and eventually the goal would be like, you know, if the apps are really useful and if they work, then you don't need to convince people. think you're working, you're doing the pioneer work there. because there may be struggling with damage

that you know, locked into a cooper currency is this is rep is kind of thing that endangers traditional businesses. so are you doing by working together sort of working again, i think you're doing very important i believe block chain technology will fundamentally change the way our society works in the long run. it will enable new processes. we can't think of right now, but the option is there. what i can do is i can include people can narrow down the gap between rich and poor. ah ah ah, ah,

the news the news the the the

key is the worst nightmare of the wrong get. the most powerful mafia group in europe, prosecutor nicholas his victory, a massive trial against the criminal organization. for which state witnesses and the victims families are eagerly waiting. one prosecutor's battle against the mafia . close? 90 minutes on he w. ah ah the world to get to go beyond the all as we take on the world, we're all about the stories that matter to you.
