Theme of the day which is creativity in winter. Playing it cool a visit to the i. C. s Music Festival in the well. Below the way how to make the perfect frozen bubble. Signature script by handwritten items still favor. Each day this rate will be focusing on the theme of winter and what you can do in this season be that eating drinking or getting come easy today we look at cold weather activities both in and outdoors scandinavia is known for its extreme weather conditions and yet it is often the far north of no way that an outdoor annual concert takes place temperatures of. The instruments a made from ice the best concerts but there is no guarantee that they wont melt before the show is hired. As day draws to a close in the norwegian ski. Sort of yeah i low and the temperature plunges to well below freezing you sometimes hear strange sounds for miles around. Once a year one of the strangest and certainly oldest Music Festivals in the world takes place here on a frozen lake. The musicians play instruments made entirely out of ice. The audience members are impressed. This is really impressive states. Im still wondering how they made it but didnt go to experience. On the phone. In the car and on the what. If magic. Norwegian percussionist teria is sunset came up with the idea for the festival in two thousand and six he has an ecological message that hes. Already prior to Climate Change and some of the things on the ice. And i think to some im told that. Becomes very important because the commons will go since. The annual festival last three days and always attracts thousands of visitors. The twenty six musicians who will perform make their instruments themselves almost at the last minute before the concert. They use ice thats been collected from the frozen lakes around. It takes some time to fine tune the instruments and find just suitable sound. We try new things. I normally. My job is to come up with ideas to get a program down so so its. So there we have these enormous to put on the thing probably also have the drumstick african style drums that we havent done before. The annual highlight is the midnight concert on the ilo those frozen lake needs to be improvised from beginning to end. The musicians never know if their instruments will survive the two hour concert they tend to melt and the sound changes accordingly. Oh i. See a strange and unique music performed in the arctic channel. How a used to living as a cold temperatures the possibilities are endless i mean what is a few degrees even cooler and messy is out and frozen water wouldnt seem that ludicrous if you got used to it what it well that is what a less rancor and a group of filmmakers do in Central Finland they shoot videos upside down below the surface of the ice at first glance it looks like a sea bed but keep watching the direction of the bubbles and youll soon see that theres no more to this than meets the eye. Their. Label ready become a hit on the internet the weird under ice clips from of the finnish diving group led by a lisa dunka and you saw me. This is legs ideology and. Once again the group of video artists meet up here and go diving under the ice to make their films. In winter the ice is up to half a meter thick. To. The main actor a lizard uncut is preparing for his on camera performance and is fitted with special equipment the spikes on his shoe soles are especially important to prevent him from slipping on the ice. Of totally gone. As a performer i always have to know exactly what ill be doing before i dive under one time underwater its difficult to communicate. His friend and camera man you so metal will be busy with his underwater camera under the most taxing conditions. You get. Above the ice as takes care of the props. And crazy to do this in the middle of nowhere. It is no not at all. But it has. And its fun. Acrobatic talent is a must and both performer and camera man have trained for this for a long time. The diving gear provides enough buoyancy none the less excellent orientation and perfect balance are required to work upside down under the frozen surface. Suddenly up becomes down on the bottom of the icy Surface Transforms into a bizarre film set. North of nature are turned on their head as the team plays tricks on our perception. Bubbles no longer float upwards but slowly sink to the ground. Meanwhile the viewing figures of the crazy videos from finland keep rising theyve gone at more than five million hits. The shoots can take up to an hour. A minute so metal is always happy to finally get out of the icy water. There are so many underwater films in the world. But we put our own twist on it and the diving film. Thats Something Special about it and its fun because you have housecall for. Whether theyre fishing from underwater through a hole in the ice. Or sledding upside down beneath the surface. These finished divers never seem to run out of crazy ideas. And if you want to say well from the finish divers then you can easily search for them on each. When you turn out to focus on two gemini artists who are lighting up forests for their projections and imagery within and its have combination of techniques they bring life to the darkest of nights and images they produce about magical and mesmerizing that you may also have perfect to not digitally manipulate anything in postproduction so the key for them is in the preparation and i can take hours in the cold winter nights. Glowing shapes in untouched nature surrealistic images from the short film lucid by the german artists collective. And none of this is done with computer animation even image. Does that seem inexplicable are real objects and were actually installed in the surroundings. And fruit trees fun sure put on lot of physical work and creativity into their art. Among other things they use luminous and wires and objects to create their illusions. We do use and the thing that blows it all depends on how you stage it if they think. The techniques and materials they use range from Household Items for example the sphere shape as a lamp. To projections for example we have one shot with a triangle we cut it out of cardboard and then just object to the colored light onto it. The sun points it would have a win as the. In twenty fourteen the artist duo shot the short film bio luminescent forest here to all the light effects are projected directly into the setting rather than manipulating the images on a computer. Direct mile wide and on sure employed and even napper a technology for this called projection mapping parts of the forest are illuminated effects on irregular surfaces and textures are taken into account this requires not only a precise plan but also patients. Especially when the illuminated objects are not only three dimensional but also animate. As we usually we only project light onto inanimate objects but we also wanted to use animals ones that dont move much or that hold still for a while but with a frog we have to film for five hours because it kept jumping away. For other projects the light artists bring a bit of nature. Into the city. For example their new project in paris in twenty fifteen. Astonished the audience with the projection of a gigantic spider. First they had to build a cardboard model of the building and film the spider inside it then they projected the video onto the inside walls of the building. For the illusion to be perfect the dimensions and perspectives had to correspond precisely. When it is with the human noir for us its important to just trying out new techniques for example in our next project we might work with fire or with water or whatever. With a wide range of things we dont want to limit our so i think i think thats what enables us to always have new themes and to be able to convey a feeling. To i hunt will continue to create illusions in the future without image editing using physical exertion and ingenious ideas. Now of allowing say people is usually something that youll see kids doing in the summer time but as you know our show today is all about winter activities and strangely enough blowing bubbles can be done in the cold in fact if the conditions are frosty the bubbles were actually free and the crystal balls make a great subject a keen photographer. A different take on the concept of Ice Sculptures frozen bubbles. In subzero temperatures soap bubbles become rigid and wont pop when they collide with another object. As long as they stay frozen they can last for several days. For amateur photographers from northern germany wants to take the perfect ice bubbles picture at night the conditions are good hardly any wind thats when the bubbles freeze best. Not to time August Alsina is a before they look so magical and theyre frozen a bit like a crystal ball and its fascinating to record on camera the way i drive just a freak and gradual becomes the fall of tree. A time lapse video of a frozen bubble in the making at minus sixty three celsius in real time it takes two minutes. The perfect bubble mixes half dishwashing liquid and half water plus starch. Because were using sugar but you can also use glycerine or quark. Its just there to make the consistency a bit stronger so the bubbles are more stable when theyre forming laws about it and. Another chip use a straw to blow them up theyre easier to position and they hold better. Than the long ago and are committed to being in the cold for long enough is what it looks like you really think. But if we touch it you cannot smartass. Just like chewing gum yeah because like doing them. The results of the nighttime shooter quite spectacular a long stint in the cold paid off. But they managed to get a decent picture. Just in time. On the audience rosen if you play for. Frankenstein perfect. You were lucky werent you to meet a. Businessman i thought it would be almost impossible in the wind. Or. The bubble hadnt frozen entirely but there are a few but literally ice crystals and as soon as its cold enough the four will be out again on the hunt for that perfect ice bubble until then theyll have to make do with the regular variety and theyre pretty nice too. I thought the images resembled bubbles that you have on Christmas Trees as well very festive it is the time if the decorations of course and something that is popular as i have in many homes during the holidays a candles we met up with a german artist who works with waxes have material of choice she loves the transparency of wax and the effects she gets when putting the lights behind them has helped her receive well wife recognition. Flowing room installations glowing objects. Being a good protest creations are made out of wax. To promote starts her day in her studio at the stove where she melts large paraffin slabs she started out studying painting but in the meantime shes worked with wax for many years. Its the perfect material for the effects she seeks. To construct since the strands loosens them in the inkling that something is there but she cant really see it. The blurriness that you have when you remember something its never absolutely clear its about trying to recapture impressions and feeling. And i think the material i work with expresses that very well. Back of our stroking. Calibra from fishing i work with five different kinds of paraffin one of them gets a chap surface when it cools. Or and im going the other extreme is one that creates an incredibly smooth surface on a hill i can affect that but in reality every slab or is always surprising for me and thats what keeps it interesting for me ill wrap this one and. Color light and form its there interplay that creates the effect in your group or once. Shes won many promises for works and shes exhibited them all over the world heres one of her wax rooms in omaha nebraska. Or one experiences were shown in glasgow scotland. Seating made of wax also in glasgow at the Lighthouse Design museum. In her dancing water lilies piece she floated wax discs on a pond in toronto canada. In a good protos cast countless wax slabs in discs over the decades and melted countless ones down again if their color surface texture or degree of translucence didnt please or her wax objects are stable as long as they are exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight the light source is in her wax lamps all burn cold. One illinois people who have bought my last repeatedly tell me that when they switch them on its like turning on their hearts at the lamps bring a smile to their lips but what could be better than that. Escaped through notice. A deal it carries even this time of year is wow now we end the share today by looking at the handwriting something that probably many of us have not done for a while but at christmas time its fitting to have calligraphy on christmas cards and Christmas Party invitations the style is both traditional and festive and there are many people who make a living by bringing the beauty of this dying art form back to life. There was a time when everyone wrote with a flourish. Today hand lettering as an art form that is ever growing in popularity. Because its not just visually appealing its a rewarding past time. This Old Fashioned way of writing as taught in calligraphy workshops. Its hard actually because you arent accustomed to that its fun and you see results pretty fast no. I only ever saw it on instagram and admired how beautifully some people are able to write. Calligraphy classes are growing in popularity in many places and germany is a case in point. I did a long workshop with expert Chris Campari in hamburg cost more than three hundred euros and attracts professional graphic designers as well as amateurs its an analogue trend. This is how my rebuttal i once heard that a technique turns into an art form when it becomes obsolete and maybe hand lettering popularity comes from the fact that nowadays people even type their grocery lists into their phones and generally write less and less by hand so theres a yearning to go back and take a pen in hand precisely because you hardly need one in daily life anymore. Chris comprehends made a career out of calligraphy apart from Holding Workshops shes written a book on hand lettering her a labrat handwriting also graces the book cover shes been commissioned to design for publishers and agents. As the world goes digital Many Companies have recognized the appeal of adding a personal touch to hand lettering on product packaging magazine covers or posters. If im going to mom abolitionists are currently doing everything they can to lend books a special and tactile touch so a font that you can tell is handwritten fits the bill i see it as a counter trend to all the polished circuses we have on our phones and computers. And wrong lettering that grabs the eye is a trademark of artists ryle see who boast one hundred thousand followers on instagram optical illusions i want to specialties while he comes from the french speaking part of switzerland but he now lives and works in berlin. He calls his work one hundred percent analog. Even when he draws computer pixels by hand. Whilst he creates logos for Sporting Goods firms and restaurants. He also shows his lettering art and galleries. I think that one of the main reason why i like to do it by is when you do it with your computer it can be as beautiful as you want but somehow it doesnt exist. It its only light and pixels whereas this is and then we can talk to its here with us. After a few hours of intensive tutoring at the workshop in hamburg the novices are already producing some impressively swirling scripts mindfulness patience and dedication and lettering demands qualities that if they come rare in our fast paced world. But rather than spelling an end to the art of handwriting it appears the digital age is fueling its renaissance. Unfortunately though that is the end all of our show today a focus changes each day of the week so do you keep watching im going to reveal what we have in store for tomorrow ill be on the show tomorrow as well but the now from myself and all of the team here in the studio of my.
