Least frankenstein it comes up again and again and it somehow draws in all kinds of topics and phantasms that are swirling around. But what happens when machines become artists and authors do they simply imitate the works with which theyve been programmed how innovative art for instance poems written by normal networks. Can write poetry and the thing is because poetry is already a little abstract off so the neural net sporty often reads like a real course and. Where is the poetry coming from then why does that portray make sense if a machine has written that woman and you still get feelings from mant then where where is the soul thats creating that the new age i authors challenge us in our romantic notions of true genius does a sensitive artist soul potentially reside in the machine or will we have to say goodbye to all that what is a so it is a very politically loaded question because its one of the things that the colonizers the christians once and used against slaves and black people and people of other communities saying that its ok to treat these people like animals because they dont have a soul like only the christian has a soul and cotton goes so far as to dream of a post human estate one in which everything human has become superfluous post was it some type of post humanism is interesting because i like imagining that the world continues to exist. And is very beautiful and wonderful without people and then its absolutely not the end of the story thats perhaps my favorite thing to imagine. But if the world where one day is an cut imagines it then she as a human author would no longer exist. But a fallen founder of the arts plus festival at the Frankfurt Book Fair thinks that scenario is far fetched. Machine and why should machines act artistically when there are no humans to be interested in what they do i shake a force that never mind the fact that its a totally awful notion which i dont even want to contemplate no i believe that sort of thing is not likely in the near future ai strength is most in comparing data its not good at making art and. The arts plus festival at the Frankfurt Book Fair features an idea of what a postapocalyptic future could look like the new york artists collective 3 legged dog shows people in an underground complex subject to the whims of Artificial Intelligence but the scenario too is the product of human imagination Digital Technology remains an area in which creative people explore their ideas. Now its become quite clear in research is that we humans produce too much Plastic Waste oceans being polluted to the extent that when we fish nowadays its said theres a certain amount of plastic mites micro particles in the fish fighting ready but its also frightening how much plastic the average home uses every year french photographer. Has illustrated this all too well and his latest project. The kitchen doesnt commonly serve as an photographer set unless that photographer is on tone suppressing for several years the frenchman has been staging shots using packaging waste he got the idea when he saw an overflowing trash can go up because you know she read so i forgot to take out the trash ones and then i realized just how much packaging waste i actually produce astronomical amounts and we just throw everything in the bed we dont even think about the masses of waste that accumulate over a long period of time and theyre going to do it. That was the starting point for the series 365. 00 unpacked a reference to the 365 kilograms of trash per capita produced in france each year that passes collected the packaging all of it recyclable materials his friends helped collect to over the course of 4 years. To fix the kid she walked through i start everything at home but after 4 years i was almost drowning in packaging. It was really liberating when i finally started the work because i had accumulated nearly 70 cubic meters of packaging waste and was confronted with this ballast every day so its like a step led to me changing my own buying habits. More all that effort was aimed at raising awareness by making visible what we try to avoid seeing 1st up as see a former graffiti artist photography is the ideal medium for his purposes. And attitudes towards Environmental Protection are already changing the banks of the river center and parents which used to be a main road is now a vehicle free zone bicycles and scooters dominate the scene on tons of cars he is happy to see that hes currently working on a series of portraits of cyclists he wants to encourage people to leave their cars at home with them to stop tossing plastic bags into the same. Indeed now joining me as i said earlier one of the greatest lyric tennis around today simon have here goob welcome to the show youll here in berlin performing at the deutsche open in common last night but another performance in a in a weeks time so its time to come on t. V. I believe you stuff it off life musical life as a violinist coming from a family who won music a little bit you started playing the violin what made you change to. Singing i think a concert just a simple concert of 3 men singing the 3 men the 3 tenors of this new soul the 3 tenors and i designed it to be a tiger a really i think im a product of 3 tenors without them for sure oh no i dont you feel the level of actually i should think there are people whove done that anyway without further ado youve just come from los angeles where 2 weeks ago you were playing rodolfo in level in lets just hear a short clip from that production right now. I. Was. I was was. The. One. That looks like a lot of fun and i i saw that it was directed by i say ill bury it is very cost is the head of the commercial over here but listen we like it very much here in berlin and hes won all the prizes what was it like to work with him hes a great director i mean some wonderful production as a Corporate Action with oprah can make and i mean i didnt see the production here in berlin but i did the opera and l. A. And very Intelligent Production and working with is such an intelligent idea from the director who you know doing boy i am from many years now directors have quite difficulty to find something new and thats you need someone genius to find a new new direction how to direct a oprah like boy and where everybody has seen and Everybody Knows so thats the point the big boy and for me that when you find that kind of director who can tell you something you and thats where the case with. Because i mean people in the offer world. People all around the world now another man i want to mention who was a great mentor of yours indeed when you were still a student pavarotti sort of took you on tell us about. I mean i am a lucky person that for that reason because you never know im come from a when you know i was 19 and i made the greatest tenor amber and hes teaching me for 7 years so over the olds them away the same ive already prepared with them so yeah im but what he coached you in the role was wonderful youve windows of memory how how you can do better because he was from his heart teaching too young to a young guy and thats why i really remember and im very lucky that another person people not from the opera world the is woody allen many of them know that hes directed off and you indeed appeared in opera in los angeles with he directed that must be very different direction of course and for that time i was it was my debut in america and in l. A. Over so it was very interesting to work with a movie director and it was his 1st time doing oprah so its quite a lot of emotion there i think at the end of the production were allies that i was not anymore overseeing a brass quotes to actors so thats what woody allen did in that production and it is a lot of Different Things i mean i wonder what you like i know the life of an opera singer is hot of them people would imagine it on planes on whatever travelling and then youve got to look after your voice and different venues and everything what is it that is it about the offer that whats the stash thing for you. I mean something be inside me is something that you have is im always saying that its not the job for anyone to have something that they have the corage to go front of everybody and reach those high notes and we dont be scared of that and this is something that i can explain with a war its like i dont know i have it and its like its something that you have or know of but its nice to ask sided figure thank you very much for coming in the present day were not going to go there without hearing you sing again.
