Remember the rubiks cube this little puzzle that was all the rage in the 1980s now it always took me a german ages to figure it out and i still cant really one side well this little cube is now experiencing something of a revival thanks in part to one artist in italy giovanni can tarty is not just a master at solving the rubiks cube he also uses it to create pieces of art now we met up with him to find out why this little toy is his material of choice. Hello my name is running. The news of russia and this is the excuse. Me can tardy puts over 700 cubes and as much as 2 hours into each of his portraits while he doesnt put in his glue either the frame holds the cubes in place or the image. Falls to pieces as soon as its completed hes got nearly 350000 followers on instagram he generally makes portraits of famous figures some of the stars share the images on social media when in him even more followers shares fascination with the cube. When people look at your solving a cube in 10 seconds they think of you as an alien someone from another planet same is with the artwork but its something more fascinating. Giovani can charge you started out by setting records he set an impressive 60 italian records 9 european ones and 3 World Records he saw the rubiks cube in less than 10 seconds even underwater. We asked him to create a picture for europe. He chose a woman whose face everyone knows mona lisa by leonardo da vinci. The challenge here is not to solve the rubiks cube as fast as you can but to resolve the image into pixels on the computer. How he does it is his secret. He only reveals enough to give you an idea. One of the the things that i do is actually work with the picture when hes still in black and white the reason is that i know. From white to black would looks look like one of the corners of the cube i like to work on the design when its there on these 4. Because i can keep it a little bit more close to the original into the. Hardly anyone notices that one particular color is always missing. I actually dont use a green because it doesnt look good together without a coat its only 5 colors to create an image and so the hardest part for me is create that design which can take up to week or 10 days depending on how difficult is it. Lives in the town where he was born the adriatic. Hes able to live from his art hes even under contract with the new york city gallery sells his works to collectors around the world for 5 figure sums. But he sees no need to leave. Hes done a portrait of the towns most famous son opera composer. Good publicity for the opera himself and the town. Is very. Outside of here for 4 years. During that experience i dont. Like my road. My family of course. And anyone from here. Back to the mona lisa once again he uses over 700. 00 group excuse to construct the portrait line by line taking short breaks now and then thats important because its easy to make a mistake but extremely difficult to fix it later on. To close to the portrait of us than allow you to see everything that is going on. I need to make sure that there are no mistakes because. Its impossible to change it. From the very 1st q. It took your body can tarty only about 90 minutes to complete our mona lisa. Of course the very last book is always satisfying. I love it i think its great that. The 500 year old painting as a 5 color mosaic and the riddle of the rubiks cube portrait is concealed with a mysterious smile. Extreme athletes are all about pushing their limits and german mountain climber. Does just that she discovered her passion for mountaineering on a trip to south america just a few years ago and after that the sky was the limit since then and shes completed 12 expeditions in just 4 years and she was the youngest german woman to climb Mount Everest we hear from her now about what it takes to go to such extremes. So tough the moment you are totally focused on the moment you live in the here and now that youre investigating landscapes. Went on your block of trains in zurich she attracts attention the tires are meant to simulate heavy slopes in snow its the optimum training for her extreme sport but that one with south im not a total sporting ace but i do have a solid basic fitness set and thats whats important for expeditions being able to keep up a certain performance over a long time she didnt start mountaineering tell us she was 25 but in 3 years on your block had scaled the 7 summits the highest peaks on every continent and shes the youngest german woman to climb Mount Everest but she also got to know the sports dangers and said almost that any of my personally saw somebody die on everest and. And it makes you wonder what do i live for and how much risk am i willing to take to me its worth the risk that i might die thats a stab. In the summer of 2019 she ascended the worlds 2nd highest peak k 2 without an officer in moscow. Lacandon why would i like to discover and experience something new and go a little further than i did the last time to see what else i can experience now on your block is getting ready for her next experience 60 days in the frozen antarctic wasteland on her own. Its bad to find that quest im going to cross from the coast of antarctica 1400 kilometers to the south pole the starting point is berkner island and the route leads across the ice on the continental plate through mountain ranges and then across the polar plateau or till finally i arrive at the geographic south pole since.

No woman has ever yet gone so far across antarctica on force her only contact to the outside world will be via 2 satellite telephones. By solar panels she did a trial run earlier in the year in greenland. I think there are many things im afraid i felt just bad that i fall into a crevasse for example that would be a fatal scenario. And im afraid some critical piece of equipment my prey could become unusable or one that i might have overestimated myself. With. One last practice session before she takes off to the antarctic. She feels well prepared for what is likely the most daring challenge of life.
