Her lamps hung she moved in a few weeks ago having sold her house in a suburb. There. In a house youre on the ground but here on the 14th floor were in the sky weve got all new furniture to fit in with the architecture of the building. I left it to do you know. There are public spaces from the ground floor to the roof of the house is meant to be accessible through the white tree is the answer to the question of how the tower of the future will look with large terraces allow people contact with the outdoors and also bring life inside that didnt exist in the classic kind of tower pastoral it took less. Even the smallest spaces at a premium especially in cities so architects are looking to the sky. A lot of people want to live in the city so we have to build upwards it will be the case that we will be using more and more spaces communally and sharing them. This past. Here houses are placed on top of a building and the whole thing has been built over a city highway and such Creative Solutions are not limited to the outskirts of paris but when is there one here in sco we have to construct 150. 00 new homes per year in a city thats completely built up to them also so we have to go upwards. If we change to. The biggest challenge is doing it in a way that the residents will accept. Because you know because with the book was not with you. Thats a special challenge because france has had difficult experiences in the end with its. Dismissed as bedroom communities monocultures social flashpoints its a failed model an example of what not to do. On talk that was funded crna tower is not a problem rather its a question of how its integrated into the surrounding area the state needs to help and ensure that everyone has access to this kind of housing. Through all this time measure were told that money doesnt grow on trees and certainly not on the white tree in mom pay. With prices per square meter at 5000. 00 euros its something only a select few can afford. And be streaming is that i quote the activity of listening to or watching sound all video directly from the internet sounds innocent enough doesnt it however every time you use a streaming device its building up a picture of your case a new using that data to dictate what will be directed at you in the future are streaming Services Beginning to control our lives ill be discussing this with my colleague Melissa Holroyd after this. Streaming service is with us constantly from sports to the office even to our relationships. Services like you chub all spotify are available for free. We play with our privacy to find out what happens with our data we tried to contact sport of 5 to 6 weeks without success a Swedish Research team wasnt able to talk to the Company Either their book the spotify teardown investigates the inner workings of the company one of its main topics is spotify and start a broker one that has little to do with music. Diesel with its 14000000 users is one of the small streaming fish and one of the few prepared to talk to us. We asked what they do with information gleaned from uses. In. The subscription model where the user pays data to determine trends for example what are the trend differences from south to north from west to east and of course across borders. In british sociologist new book the costs of connection this data vacation of society is described as part of a new type of colonialism. Its amazing that there is a parallel between the terms of every app now requires of us to basically take all our day to day to even didnt know we were generating and use it for purposes. And time 500 years ago when a major world power the spanish king was trying to grab a new type of resource which would go in latin america. As the new. Streaming service is trying to make us customers feel like king while at the same time extracting the very last of our resources ourselves. We are king and colonised at the same time and of course money is being made then as now by someone else. All right is with me now data is the new gold pretty scary stuff to me sure does and the stakes probably couldnt be higher nor the players bigger than we think of some of the Biggest Tech Companies in the world some of the wealthiest companies in the world we think Google Microsoft amazon and all of these people all of these work with algorithms they all were. Big data according to nicole tree who who cowrote the costs of connection he says that this may well just be the beginning of big Data Collection that were that were seeing hes a sociologist whos been getting a lot of attention recently he focuses on big data and its effects on society but you also calls it a kind of colonialism i mean thats a bit much. Colonialism but not in terms of the physical violence that took place he makes a very good argument about colonialism empire building and extraction that they are the same as whats going on today so he says that every time we click on terms and conditions when we want to watch a film when we want to listen to some music were agreeing to something that we dont really understand. As other parallels as well including the an extreme concentration of wealth and Power Companies that have access to big data also enjoy huge amount of power and they also use this civilizing rhetoric were always hearing about the benefits of connection because of connection i really ask the simple question whats going on with this new land grab and what does it mean in terms of society but what we this is you know we all hear about Data Protection i mean in place the i mean theres plenty of Data Protection for us now on all your data ownership and access some privacy theyre all hot topics at the moment and many countries have been looking at the laws surrounding surrounding dodger protection we here in europe enjoy the general Data Protection regulation and we do have more protections than they do in than they than they do in other parts of the world africa has less protections and its there that is a real hot spot for Tech Companies at the moment and it seems that the big conglomerates doing whatever they want really one of the big problems is that people think its normal dont they people think that this is the. Cost of services this is the cost of being part of a society and theyre not questioning it especially young people who grew up in the internet generation. You know this is this is all very normal for them yeah melissa thank you very much i have no doubt we will be revisiting this subject a lot in the future. This city brother and is generally considered the World Capital of techno the music itself maybe has its roots in detroit in the us but we have the best techno clubs in the world by far right is the target of a book by photographer mark enabler whos been documenting the techno scene here in berlin since it all took off after the fold of the berlin wall in the 1990 s. Martine able to chronicle the spaces of berlins wild new subculture in the 1990 s. When it felt as if you were stumbling through a land of adventure into every day something changed. After the fall of the eastern for a living was full of empty lots and buildings abandoned industrial spaces were taken over by ravers out to dance to the new sound of freedom techno. In 1901 the club trees or opened in a one Time Department store it quickly became the flagship for the new party town and a launching pad for d. J. s like paul van dyke. Went in with his camera. Taken for math mount the 1st time i was in the trees or i had a black Leather Jacket on my head dyed black an oreo the guys there had white gloves and bright orange safety vests on and i thought wow this is a completely different world whats going on here that and you know. Even then moved to berlin in the 1990 s. And dove right into the techno scene for about 10 years he focused on the spaces where the new art in music movements were happening. The resulting photo series is. Temporary spaces these were the settings for a wild and lawless some culture of clubs bars and galleries. Even the nails the hard way as he calls it he captures the brief moment before the party stuff thats. What you generally associate with partying or you might call it club culture other people or what they do the dancing on the artificial fog and such but i was interested in the spaces it was all happening in. What the housing for this party or i should say this club thing actually looked like. This former underground club in a squat called imo is among the temporary spaces a villa has immortalized and kind of walking along here now and looking at the photos you can hardly believe the saying street so much about the citys expressive power has changed this to looking back on the photographer now see that extatic face during the ninetys and early 2000. And one of the title that that was a totally fabulous time for me seen from today it was a period of my life that was really good even if i feel very little connection to it now.
