Together with the cats arena christened over. 40 dancers from moscows legendary bolshoi russias number one theatre and ballet. The 2 soloists are overwhelmed to be back on stage. And i suppose. Its the for us its a huge thrill to get out of our apartments again and just be creative if you. Just let it out which we have a jam packed schedule of performances so all the dancers even the carter ballet are rehearsing several pieces a day. For the one act ballet for characters in search of a plot the bolshoi decided to forgo the opulence set this in an effort to have a few people as possible involved in the production. With over 1000000 people infected russia currently ranks 4th in the world for covert 1000 cases. The danger of contagion is ever present. Theater staff know it could be months before a vaccine is made available and shalom with. The on the one hand were overjoyed that we can kick off this season i just agreed. But were also very concerned. Because the virus is still an issues and we have to deal with the situation but stayed with the. Dots here about that. For example the engagements of 4 choreographers who came in from abroad for the opening piece with borders between russia and the e. U. Still closed getting to moscow wasnt easy was it is it im not sure what exactly happened but one day they called us and said come and then suddenly here we were. All 4 segments of 4 characters in search of a plot deal with the corona lockdown especially with ideas surrounding longing and closeness but also physical proximity which has taken on a whole new meaning for the dancers cheering the pandemic. At its doors we artists belong on stage weve missed it even just thinking about stepping out onto the stage gives me goosebumps. Its a choice just means were alive so were living again. The bolshoi theatre is daring to live again despite the harsh reality of the pentagon. All of the amsterdam now and while the city is museums were closed during knock down a privately funded start up museum devoted to new media was busy preparing to open its doors as soon as regulations allowed for the next museum is meant to fill a gap in the Cultural Landscape with multisensory immersive installations by International New media artists but also by scientists and technologists and its inaugural show shifting proximities well run for about the next year full. Powerful effects multimedia and interactive. Amsterdams new next museum is devoted entirely to digital art. The museum is founder of a postilion developed the concept to her a few years ago she found the ideal location for a project in the north of amsterdam a former television studio. The marketing expert was able to win over a number of investors and make her dream a reality. I think we are totally obsessed with the future and with technology. Like with everything thats new in technology its evolving so rapidly that what we want to do is take. A shared take artistic science and mold them together music and really give you the experience of the future and also about topics of the future that you continuum installation by environmental artists tie spear staker visualize the subterranean communication between 2 trees 6 the simulation reacts to c o 2 output vibrations and temperature changes caused by the festers. You do it is a field thats emerging not only because of the navels people draw on the stuff. And other data streams a lot easier so did you are just just our new generation of. The inaugural exhibition is called shifting proximities. Its really nice if youre in. The middle of the. Set ritual of well meaning the sheer size of ships are so amazing although im not sure. Its a really neat experience and it goes beyond injectable to really it really touches you it is it touches me at. Many points in a world where you can actually experience a. Installations cant predict how the future will really look like. But visitors to im saddams new museum could already immerse themselves in potential visions of a future. And melissa her. Roy joins me to talk about this daring venture this is really fascinating melissa because it seems to me with this exhibition as a visitor that youre almost agreeing to be a bit of a guinea pig and you know with some of the installations here at least the next Museum Office people more than just your average multisensory experience here visitors can be protectionists in a speculative experience which looks to the future it really stands on the edge of what we know and what we dont know and it asks you do you like what you see do you like where you are headed i mean in terms of where technique where technology is heading yes thats right i mean the exhibition space in general looks at the times were living in and focuses on art that uses modern tools to explore these times one of the most interesting pieces in shifting proximities is a piece called biometric mira it was put together by siphon artist and Body Architect lucy mcrae together with Action Research in human computer interaction targeted kneels vow to realize your titles are in jobs like an algorithm analyzes you and basically tells you who you are your age your personality your agenda it also spits out a more beautified version of you a more sane mean we should i think you can imagine what type of version it is the set up is deceptively warm and spongy there are questions on the side of the mirror and the whole thing is a very sort of tan and warm color it draws you in perhaps in the same way that technology draws us in bought the results of this type of technology of facial recognition can be also quite brutal this is it sounds incredibly intense it sounds almost invasive and in some ways perhaps a bit overwhelming yeah it is intense and there are rooms in between that sort of act as a sort of among other things this type of palate cleanser as they often visit is a break between the installations another installation on the thing is very interesting it explores the. Relationship between people and the Natural Environment its called habitat its by mixed media artist hellene blanken and uses scans of organic artifacts to create a game like medicines of environments the piece is responsive to the movement of visitors who can be seen reflected on the museums floor with the environmental problems that were facing habitat is not just a beautiful piece its also a very loaded piece ok so the there definitely is the critical fight to the fix its very very critical the exhibition pieces unpack todays issues and they do this by appealing to the experience of the visitors to a spirit by appealing to the emotions of the visitors so through their experience through actually going through this thing they become a part of the technology. Yes so. So so with things like facial recognition and the environment we can understand the more readily by having the Actual Experience itself ok well lets hope that we can actually get to amsterdam physically to see this shifting proximities on at the next museum for about the next year thanks very much for bringing us that story and the whole roid.

Proud selfassured and with elegant feathers. These words describe the ornamental chickens displayed in coffee table books by photographers matteo trying to leave and marino monte from milan they both openly admit theyre fascinated with chickens and have even acquired a few of their own. Their pets could just as easily struck the catwalk. It was love at 1st sight i never would have expected a 40 chickens make very good motifs for their very photogenic and great and. They know right away what theyre supposed to do but you dont have to explain it to them. They need hardly any make up from our experience in the advertising and Fashion Industries chickens are the best top models and the most natural. And they also seem to be the most patient they obediently follow whatever directions the photographers give them. For their latest project. Posed to chickens each from one of a total 60 breeds as lovers chicken in love as the snappy though somewhat tongue in cheek title. The rooster may protect his hands but he doesnt have that great a reputation as a romantic lover. In the roosters the worst example and absolutely not a role model when it comes to romance. Oh fine doesnt do anything he doesnt produce anything the way and it dominates hundreds of hands we know definitely not politically correct any more about it works like it for.

War zone unemployment you know this is a very special feather from a bird in our forest when the young arches see this all they are going to say wow. We do not. Know if i got to use a thread to attach it to but then ill put on a metal tear by dipping the point in rub alaca i dont sing it with i know i know it is not a drug. War its got to be as straight as can be. Otherwise the arrow wont hit the target. Or start going through but everyone will laugh at me whats this old man doing here but ill show them. Ok i dont need to look good for the festival otherwise theyll say im too old. Then that wont interest anyone that you are. It was. Up to me tomorrows the big archery tournaments.

Use the if they havent used chemicals well i dont know if nina oil is really ok that it is the kind of illegal machine. This is choking the head of the farmers groups. And this is one chalk shes a part of the team. She didnt really want to see which seed to use when i was a plant youve got growing here and the different substances your treat the plants where it is who he wants to see records of your daily work and so push i was no no no no longer than the old who have to earth as you do theres any risk of contamination from the neighbors you understand that but yes of. All the. Inverse they take soil samples near the neighbors Property Line then if you from the middle of the field. They mix the samples which are sent to india to be tested for pesticide contamination. Then the moment of truth what about the neem oil. What youve used. Your new formulation is acceptable but before using it it is good that there are good result d if you. See those ok you can do it. But its a good story. There. You get good news for me i live with that if im really very curious to see the soil test results thats how you book the day if the results are positive choky spahr will be the 1st e. U. Certified organic farm in all of bhutan. On the roof of the world at more than 5000 meters above sea level same long as looking for a quarter seps mushrooms which are said to have Healing Properties. Going to do is deny needed to take out a 3000 year old loan to keep us above water for the next half year. In that moneys got to come back and now. I hope i find enough to do it with and i do you think its you. Who want to its only for you could find the fungal everywhere because a few people know of their Healing Properties now youve got to go up higher to find them. Everyone here knows how much money you can get for them and even people who have long since moved to the city are coming back now because only people who live in the highlands are allowed to gather the mushrooms and one time it changes also contributing to them becoming more scarce. Even. Though its a day im not going to find anything like it isnt on my side theres. Great time the harvest a small the 3 caterpillar mushrooms are worth about 15 euros. I found one of. If theyre going with this is the legendary quarter subs medicinal mushroom beneath the soil the parasitic fungo infests a caterpillar caterpillar dies and the mushroom grows through on to the surface we harvest this strange mix of caterpillar and fungus so. Good going to move though im going to learn for every thing which i dont i dont know i dont the baby does that as im in the outside of bhutan people use them as medicine. Especially to make men strong. It gives us a really good income and thats why there are still young people here near them would have to pay and thats a no vote and. There thats enough and some highlanders can now even afford to take a helicopter taxi to go shopping in the capital for them for it was a mile from the garden and. Through and you. Say wang will need to spend many more weeks searching in order to pay back that loan. Little georgie and his father are beginning the last day of their journey theyre starting the climb to lama nongays monastery at an altitude of over 3000 metres.
