Few words about as easily recognizable as those of frida kahlo here in milan visitors can immerse themselves in more than just her work the exhibition also recreates the life of mexicos most famous artist. But i think that this exhibition is more about food his life than her art her paintings we wanted to show the room where she spent hours and hours painting. Studio the entrance of casa with its garden its kind of like walking around. And we took advantage of the fact that we live in the 21st century and made the most of multimedia in all its forms to present the exhibits like this. The exhibition recreates carlo studio featuring her paint and pastels. Following a bus crash carlos suffered serious spinal injuries and spent most of her life in debilitating pain. She used it in her art to embellish plaster casts and of course its decorated by the artist herself carlos preoccupation with her own image and unique sense of style were inspired by her disability but also stemmed from her desire to celebrate her mexican identity and indigenous heritage. Predikant hughes fashion not only for selfexpression or as many writers have said to hide her physical laws. She also used it as a way to express her political ideologies.

Now a photographic book with a very simple concept photos of famous people as children from Alfred Hitchcocks. Jack its being compiled by the concept. And its called simply children see if you can recognize some of them before we reveal. On the front a photo. On the back of the name it works like a guessing game who is who. This little girl grew up to become the most powerful woman in europe angle america. And whos this innocent looking chap. He looks really cheating cuddly. Decades later he looked like this at all theatre kids become grownups of varying caliber. You just cant see the future coming i think thats whats so funny about it theres lots to discover and its always surprising. A fresh faced girl in 1940 years later Brigitte Bardot and this little kitty became the famous philosopher seem on the beauvoir. These chaps identity is less perplexing than his film plots as a baby Alfred Hitchcock look like Alfred Hitchcock. Andy warhol is seen here on the right as a child. In this photo he looks so sickly and fearful somehow not really present. Sometimes the pictures hold the cling to the future a young princess elizabeth perched legally on a chair and this cowboy grew up to be hollywood rebel more than brando. Even as a youngster this boy stood out in a crowd. Later Freddie Mercury performs before millions. Mick jagger big and small. Lady diana and the princess she became world famous diva maria callas. The most surprising of all is this fun filled groups not this youth on the right is a summer bin ladden. Its a very strange photo is laughing at of course he doesnt have a beard yet he. Still too young i think its a really nice picture its one of those that makes you think someone is cut out for a completely different future. Children shows us innocent youngsters as unmarked canvases with the potential to become artists scientists actors politicians philosophers or terrorists nothing seems completely predestined. Right now theres lots of rumors about the us election being interfered with by false information planted on internet how ever the candidates are allowed quite legally to have the ties online because of the corona both sides have had to rethink. The democratic challenger joe bidens Campaign Team are using a popular game called alamo crush. Candidates. Than 22000000 people play animal crossing meaning horizons the online game allows players to design their own island. They can deck them out however they like including putting up virtual election practices provided in this case by joe bidens Campaign Team. Joe bidens Campaign Team are trying to reach specific target audience is animal crossing is an effective way to reach a relatively young mostly female target audience. Also its difficult to assess the efficacy of animal crossing or other online games in campaigning in this case theyve definitely managed to grab the medias attention. As if their. Biden is not the 1st u. S. Politician to use online games in 2006 mark warner and then a Party Favorite in the democratic president ial primaries made a Campaign Appearance in the virtual view. First off 2nd life. Was defeated by barack obama and went on to set up a Virtual Campaign headquarters in the run up to the 2008 election his campaign ads appeared in both sports and racing games. And political campaigners are interested in people who play online games is the same reason theyre interested in all of us its about reaching particular people every strategist asked themselves how they can mobilize and reach people not necessarily to convince them to vote for a particular candidate but more to build a Supportive Community motivates people to take part or to donate funds. To spend. Prodemocracy activists in hong kong have made content available for use in political messaging. As has the black lives Matter Movement like it or not players of animal crossing are likely to be the target of political messages for the foreseeable future.

If anybodys been trapped in an elevator 20 minutes could be a pretty long time right ed alone. Trapped in an elevator. For 20 minutes not knowing whats going to happen not knowing where you wore suits of sensory deprivation. Figured out its your life not 20 minutes i dont know were not the only guy on the intercom its nothing i was trying to get you out because i was keeping you. Its your communication. Thats existence. Do you think a lot more of the believe. Me and you know. But it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group. Has been found. Stopped and defeated. At the last more than one term. So you know empires and decline resort to torture and i think it gives them the aleutian the mouse treat in dominance and control by torturing essentially we blind ourselves but we could in fact create a Democratic Society which actually has consistently valuable and effective techniques to fight terror the fact that we dont is more an expression of our own anxieties and fears. Socalled enhanced interrogation techniques used by the us officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind and therefore also the body because theyre very connected. And leave no physical traces in the cynics. Stream li. Destructive practice torture. On of course on those who receive this pain and suffering but also on the society that becomes a society of cruelty what weve done is weve not so much lost the war on torture as weve won the war on democracy and that through terrorizing a population over a period of decades said that theres nobody in this country who didnt grow up with some bogeyman some danger 1st it was communism then it was terrorists. We are. Obviously. In many facets of what is generally called the cold war. Which communist policy is force. But there are no ties as the cia gauge of any political activity or any intelligence service. It was not approved at the highest level. There was a concern that emerged at the 1st start of the cold war in the late 19th wars that the soviets had cracked the code of human consciousness. That they knew how to apply pressure upon the human mind and break the monopoly and it was that that set off this whole pursuit that little to no end to the creation of the cias doctrine of psychological torture this was a time of for the brainwashing scare there was show trials in Eastern Europe i mean hungry in poland which. Aroused a lot of concern in the west because people seemed to be confessing to crimes that they hadnt committed. Most importantly was the trial of cardinal mines and skiing in hungary and as he was already in an afterword to quite famous because he was known for having resisted the nazis and their occupation of under. And then after the war he became the card on the primitive church. They arrested him they can find him because hes a big an aristocrat he became a kind of target of them for a sham. And then he was put on trial were publicly confessed to the charges against him and there was this fear in washington that prince of the church i mean it was sort of a man known for his courage under nazi pressure that if he could be broken clearly the soviets were possession of techniques. As much control far as it starts in the 1950 s. Was a project. That involved a 1000000000. 00 a year. There was a formal creation of british than in american cooperation at the highest levels in order to mobilize the able scientists of these 3 countries in order to kind of crack the code of the consciousness. To clone wars for medical doctors for Cornell University medical school in new york city. They got access to some of the more classified material on people that has scapes reserve and now been tortured in the service and. Also has a very well known neurologist he had a personal relationship with al adel as the head of the cia and with the human ecology fine wolf offered to this cia a sense lay a friends in order to Study Questions of brainwashing what theyd discovered. Was 11. 00 of the 2 foundational techniques in the cia doctrine of psychological torture they discovered. Selfinflicted pain if you force a human being to stay in a certain position especially if the system that puts a little stress on way commands or muscles or bones joints it doesnt take very long for the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating but nobody is laying that your finger on you you are doing it to yourself. That was one of the its never discover was from the date of the biomedical research. It was a work it was the chair of the Psychology Department and the go to university in canada. Students volunteered to participate in the study of Human Behavior under extreme prolactin monotony their hands and arms were softly covered to muffle the sense of its harsh writes some tunes biomass comfortable barons flight and yet it was impossible for most of these duties to take them on in 24 or 48 hours sensory deprivation really is a way of producing 3 monotony its a horrible experience getting worse and worse some brossard to talk about cruelty. What they said was that the degree of boredom became intolerable and was one sided said as bad as anything that led to hitler and ever done to any of us such as you is the victims as we know from almost any basic medical understanding human contact is what makes us human and the lid and they will say a person to have a sense of normalcy in their lives and when they are completely isolated from any human contact and often kept in this sensory isolation you will literally easily become severely mentally impaired. Became a pig consoled the cia and continued to work for them is really for general modern psychological torture. That project funded another guy in the film in dr who in camera. Was on cam and the album were on sids. Was was close to monstrous. They came in for psychotherapy i was just crying crying crying. It was hopeless i didnt know what to expect they said i was going to the psychiatric ward. You bet that on that camera and thats when cameron yes i met him and we were all terrified of him why we also fear we all had a fear of him and we didnt want to him to notice us because whatever he did it would never there was a patient put them the patient was always screaming these are the days and i was a professor you and cameron was a very famous psychiatrys t. Was head of the American Psychiatric association and the world Psychiatric Association he was the top of the field at the same time he seemed pretty much willing to do anything and that for the cia to find a doctor who didnt have limits in a nearby capital with lots of patients to work with last as has subjects was somebody they were interested in supporting patients would come in. With ordinary and psychological emotional problems theyd sign their waivers and then they would be subjected to this bizarre version of extreme sensory deprivation isolation for for up to a month. One of his favorite things was he had a sort of a football helmet with a tape recorder in it that would play a tape and look up to 500000 times say things like my mother hates me and he would let the brain with rogue stench of deprivation and kind of psychological emotional assault well. Whats working i mean its garbage. What he did was he would put people under massive electric shock and he would give it to them in a prolonged basis along with what he called sleep therapy bait his ideal was once you weight the brain clean stupid white bad to say the a buried behavior in the bad ideas the ideas that were messing up peoples minds and you could program in their ideas. I was 1st hospitalized. I was about 16. 16 half the doctors close me into had sleep there. And that was it for about 3 weeks in in a sort of a deep sleep but i dont remember getting up to go to the washroom i dont i just remember that the doctor came in occasionally to feed me and that was it and then suddenly after a while there was another place and they came in and there was an older one in 2 slept in the other bed when i started to wake up i saw these patients and these patients were in tube some of them they had earphones and headphones i dont know if they did any of that to me because when i was the 1st 3 weeks i dont know what happened but this was the pattern in. This years doctrine of psychological torture that the developed. Through research in the death of the 19 fifties and was codified in the khobar counterintelligence and target and then youll. It has 2 basic techniques on which all the rest of the procedures to run one is censored operation and the other is self inflicted pain. The cia trained allied agencies in the techniques so in effect you know knowing about dissemination about if you just send these techniques to other armies could you take an ordinary individual drafting or recruit and make that person become an affective interrogator. And it seems that milgram slick sperm was likely part of this project. When i learned of incidents such as the destruction of millions of men women and children perpetrated by the nazis in world war 2 i was a possible ask myself that ordinary people will courteous and decent in everyday life can act slowly in you mainly without any limitations of conscience. Under what conditions would a person Obey Authority who commanded actions and went against conscience these are exactly the questions that i wanted to investigate at yale university. At the moment sperm a very simply was similar to torture this was one not all the research weve been describing as the impact of interrogation upon the subject. Had another agenda the impact of interrogation upon the interrogator if he were going to get a wrong answer he would say prof then tell him the number of balls youre going to get and. Then give him the punishment. And read the correct word pair once he got in ordinary people who fit by all the regular scales very normal americans and then he subjected them under false color to just doing what he called an educational experiment in try to encourage people to apply ever higher voltages as a false patient kept on getting making mistakes. In fact milgram was able to encourage at least in his 1st experiments i think close to 70 percent to go on to apply highly dangerous and sometimes fatal shocks im not going to get that man sick and that. I need that. You know i mean i mean it i learn it likes it or not we must go on until then i dont know im on the ive used to take the responsibility and get i written that. We need an. International essential if you continue teaching this to money life here and i mean you eagerly get round you just to money and lives. I mean im going to take responsibility for any happens that i dont know im responsible for anything that happens you continue. Next of slidell well dance trap music and some plays. Ah to 95 miles dance. He did this simply with a very simple thing putting the person behind a wall and having a person with a White Lab Coat telling them that they needed to continue very ordinary people can be influenced by situations and its one of the implications of both the milgram experiment theres an bardot its that. This Stanford Prison Experiment was i think a unique attempt to answer that question of what makes some people behave in good way but what makes some people behave in a bad way and so the idea was. Lets lets find an evil place and present everywhere in the world like evil places and lets feel this evil place was only good people. To get the students and volved i had convinced the Palo Alto Police department to make a mock arrest of all the students who were going to be president. And then they came down to the basement of stanford Psychology Department the place where the prison study was done. The idea is prison is made to feel inferior insignificant worthless the most important thing is to take away their name they become a number and of course given they have smocks it with no underpants theyre behind a showing. My 1st hour in there it was humiliating that was also abrupt was quick it was just you know take them off put this on and then i got dusted with baking soda which was supposed to be deloused or and i was living in the cell with the bardo did was a very cheap doc off of. The kind of thing that milgram was doing nunnally zimbardo. I think you know the guard called john wayne believed that ethics dont matter its the environment is artificial and thats not true all life is real life. We need to get tougher with the prisoners. And it could well be that we were instructed by the experimenters to get tough in fact i dont think we considered ourselves to be a subject of the experiment we were merely a tool of the researchers to get the results they wanted from the real subjects which we thought were the prisoners and i decided to become the nastiest prison guard that i could make myself where i am by their own kind of thinking here it isnt funny or you want to leave and i. Will get off yeah brought them. A little 2 of you in my magic with. 2345. I was responsible for coming up with all these routines that i would put the prisoners through where id have them stand in a line recites their numbers do push ups do jumping jacks. I had never once stopped to think that these prisoners were suffering any harm or any damage were not or not beating anybody were just sort of applying psychological pressure on the bottom yet why. Did. It harm me how did it harm. How does it harm just the thing that a moment. It can be like and yeah and let me in on some knowledge that ive never experienced 1st hand ive read about it ive read a lot about it but ive never experienced it firsthand ive never seen someone turn that way and i know youre a nice guy you know you and just what would you have. I dont know it might play out spectacularly in the military so the connections would be much further down the road it would be particularly. In the iraq war and in the setting up of moet all of that. And by the time you get to 2001 its already this cultural artifact and so it is going to be picked up by. By anyone for any permanent. Kind of people held accountable are not there because they stole the car. They are not common criminals. Their enemy combatants and terrorists who are being detained for acts of war against our country and that is why different rules staff to apply. And i do. The continuity is extraordinary. If you look at a sketch of the cubicle and of the student volunteer at Mcgill University and then if you look forward to 2002 when the 1st al qaeda suspects are being confined at camp x. Ray upon tunnel there in goggles gloves and earmuffs that look. Like god trust like that 1957 sketch. After 911. 00 all of us working at ph our realized that there would very likely be a huge problem of interrogation gone wild meaning torture cruel inhuman and degrading to treatment. The years of extreme isolation was one of the reams of techniques that were employed by officials interrogators and so forth literally starting all the way back in 2002 for many many days and that is just unbelievably destructive. And they began confining people on and they moved to. Having psychologists do interviews with patients as cover and additional flaws individual sources of trauma and security and then they they also discovered because they were going in with muslims. Muslim males are. Upset by nudity and also by female physical contact and fear dont. Raise has always played a role in american torture its the american torture techniques are part of old military punishments punishments that were used on slaves. And. And you might find that strange but there was one area where slaves were never whipped but you use clean techniques on them they didnt leave marks and that was if youre going to sell a slave because a slave that had wit marks means that they were not going to obey and so a clean slave was so got a higher price. The cotton industry in the southern delta states of the United States depended completely on torture. Over the course of 4 decades human beings by using their bodies as a technological form as a technological machine were able to multiply by 8 times the amount of cotton an individual person could pick in a single day so the use of torture is absolutely tied at the root from the very canny. In these kinds of cases. Many people in the system to the people who are imposing these conditions. Believe that ordinary punishment is too good for these people and a lot of it is about the other decide that religiously ethnically. Nationally culturally its easier than it would be to sub from your own community to do that. So. In guantanamo. Secretary defense rumsfeld appointed a commander Jeffrey Miller whose job it was to extract information and Geoffrey Miller made up a cd or staffed it. And in flew to iraq and under the. With the permission of the commander there general sanchez the then camp and training sessions for the interrogators and the stuff at abu ghraib prison where he transmitted the guantanamo and techniques to the abu ghraib stuff basically the restraints were removed and they were told to get results the thing that became so clear is that what the United States was doing was not a secret it was hidden in plain sight it wasnt really until the photographs from abu ghraib were released which were just you know the tip of the iceberg of what was actually happening that people in this country began actually talking about it. But we didnt know where it was exactly the right and the if i had to recommend all of that and i think exactly the right signal is that. We didnt satisfy them
