A taste of whats in still. A life choices that is the key to the danes happiness. Rock n roll a joint even belong girl and his dead devils stunts. And sweet venue a trip to austria psychiatrist patisserie. We kick start the show with a great philosophy on life if you speak more than one language you will not know that sometimes that isnt a direct translation for what youre trying to say in some languages certain words just dont exist and one example is the danish word who got you just conch translate it but it basically means enjoying life Simple Pleasures be that spending time with friends and family going for a wall core simply looking up at the sky ole signify. And since the day. Chains are usually ranked highly among the happiest people in the well we thought wed get a lesson in how to live a more hooghly life. Surveys indicate that danes are among the happiest people on earth in fact the uns World Happiness report regularly puts denmark at the top of the list. What is it about the danes that makes them such happy people. Might be king has written a book about all this and he believes he knows the answer. He has to do with togetherness it has to do with the art of creating a good atmosphere its about equality its about saving Simple Pleasures i think we also see something inherently danish i think we see it as part of our National Identity the same way the americans see freedom we think of something as part of our d. N. A. The word who get means being comfortable and contented often while enjoying the simpler pleasures of life. Here are a few examples. Its having of kabul for show or wont he and some these kids at some and the talk who go a little bit deeper than the killing of the couch and talk. To. Campbell who gives all hope is also maybe watching a film or reading a book and brutal isnt. Mike beaking is the c. E. O. Of the Happiness Research institute in copenhagen he says that the danes unique attitude towards life plays a major role in their sense of wellbeing. Weve been curious about why denmark does well in the happiness rankings and weve looked at the political. And thats big part of the explanation you know high level of trust your Social Security and those with health care but that also explains why the other nordic countries do well so we wanted to understand why does that monk do better than than sweden finnan iceland and and and norway. Spending quality time with family and friends or enjoying homemade cinnamon buns thats. The danes really love christmas time Traditional Apple tarts are on sale at Christmas Markets throughout copenhagen. So its a good look or danish mulled wine. Particularly Amusement Park is decked out with a sea of lights might be king says winter is the peak season for it. Is practiced throughout the year i think for the winter period it becomes almost a survival strategy its a way of getting the best out of the time of year which is doc and cold and wet and were forced into forced. The best place to experience here is in danish homes the danes have more living space per person than any other european country and they make their surroundings as comfortable as possible. Light is important too. Theres a reason why we use twice as much candle wax as number two in europe which is australia because we enjoy lighting that is at the low end of the temperature scale so we enjoy warm mortify soft diffused lights to create a nice the atmosphere in a room. The danes also like to have nice things around the house Northern Europe is known for its Design Concepts like lamps by pulling an accent and chairs by on a yacob send and corpulent but do these things actually make people happy the notion or the concept of hickeys something that for danes is just a word or describes. Situation and or a state of mind more than a design i dont think you can say that its a sign its assigned or is. Doing something to create but i think its something thats more ingrained or maybe internalized in our culture a simple walk outside can also be good it doesnt cost anything and it makes you feel good. He shouldnt be about consumerism you could also use. As the get out of jail card if something is too expensive or if you walk into a restaurant its too expensive you can say sure can you find a place thats more than you first or yeah lets find a place thats more so you should be inexpensive because its about equality and its about simple precious. Danes call that special cozy christmas feeling. And the focus is not on expensive presents its on being together with family and friends thats the true spirit of christmas and not just in denmark. During which a lot is shorter bring you as well as some the course that might mean a stroll in the park but father says it means a huge adrenaline rush on a man who cant get enough of those bars is a frenchman known as roll of and he designed a unique role a suit that is fitted with thirty two roll is all over the body he can basically roll in any position he likes and since hes mastered the art of rolling he created a suit for goal lighting or skating on the ice. Roller man. Is trying on some blades. He shoots down the icy track at seventy Kilometers Per Hour like a human bobsled his head just ten centimeters from the ice. He calls this brand new version of buddy roll in the extreme sport invented buggy ice. The perfect feeling is feeling. When you make mistakes and you hear that that the noise is changing when and when everybodys is on the right position it just makes. When somethings wrong as. I sunfire in c. Good on fio some fifty kilometers east of the capital and we got. Adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. Or hurtle down the loo jag breakneck speeds. And he is the craziest of them all brawn told from france is full body suit is studded with fourteen ice skate blades a prototype thats only been tried once before. The first session i got which i loved is intercounty you watch and then you see the people wrong direction the trees. Going over you and the sky is wrong direction so so if the world is changing around you because of the gravity the direction. This is. In the original version of his suit as the roller man. He reached speeds up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour. The thirty two rollers lead him to zip across smooth surfaces in every conceivable position. It may look pretty dangerous but its meticulously planned out. Sometimes i go even by foot to know each corner its truck its its cross world. So i know everything in my head i can visualize in three d. How the street to like so its a question of preparation you dont go just like this. Draw you brando invented is thirty two wheel roller sued over twenty years ago while studying industrial design. Now hes selling his invention so much of it has to be done by hand but the suit costs around six thousand seven hundred euros. He also warns money with t. V. Appearances and advertising even if he makes a living from his invention rondos says its not primarily about money. When you wear the suit the first time. Your. Connection to the world is changing you are not youre not a normal human everything you touch in touch with the wheels it looks more robotic deeply your identity the image you sent to the other people is different. Over the years brando is refined his suit more and more modifying it for a variety of surfaces this is the ski version. And hes got his sights set on new goals as well. I think we can go like fiftys if you take him at a more weve good ironies to work on ironies. I would like to work with some more tools in sight like electric motor was my dream is to be faster than the called st even the flock i want that i can produce. The cheaper thats for christmas choose to buy it. Theres no doubt that the suit is a real eye catcher. And it may well be the most impressive and dangerous way to speak down. Impressive it certainly is and you wont catch me trying it out in a hurry lets turn now to focus on two german artists who have a more tranquil passion and that is lighting up forests with their projections and imagery they use an innovative combination of techniques bringing life to the darkest of nights the images they produce a both magical and mesmerizing the also prefer to not digitally manipulate anything in postproduction so the key for them is in the preparation and that can take hours in the cold winter nights. Glowing shapes in untouched nature surrealistic images from the short film lucid by the german artists collective. And none of this is done with computer animation even the images that seem inexplicable are real objects and were actually installed in the surroundings. And fruit trees fun sure put a lot of physical work and creativity into their art. Among other things they use luminescent wires and objects to create their illusions. We can use anything that blows it all depends on how you stage it tasting it in with all the techniques and materials i use range from Household Items for example the sphere shape is a lamp. To projections for example we have one shot with a triangle we cut it out of cardboard and then just project it a colored light onto it. The some point you would have. In twenty fourteen the artist duo shot the short film bioluminescent forest here to all the light effects are projected directly into the setting rather than manipulating the images on a computer. And freakish one sure employ an elaborate technology for this called projection mapping parts of the forest are illuminated effects on irregular surfaces and textures are taken into account this requires not only a precise plan but also patient. Especially when the illuminated objects are not only three dimensional but also animate. Usually we only project light onto inanimate objects but we also wanted to use animals ones that dont move much or that hold still for a while but with a frog we have to film for five hours because it kept jumping away because. For other projects the light artists bring a bit of nature into the city. For example their new project in paris in twenty fifteen. Astonished the audience with the projection of a gigantic spider. First they had to build a cardboard model of the building and film the spider inside it then they projected the video onto the inside walls of the building for the illusion to be perfect the dimensions and perspectives had to correspond precisely. When it is with the manoir for us its important that you are trying out new techniques for example in our next project we might work with fire or with water or whatever. With a wide range of things we dont want to limit our so i think i think thats what enables us to always have new themes and to be able to convey a feeling. To i hunt will continue to create illusions in the future without image editing using physical exertion and ingenious ideas. While you might have an artist that we have a winter theme running through the show today on their supporters in the exception we met a couple who says for twenty years to find the perfect spots to build their dream home they found it on a peninsula in no way above the Arctic Circle the shell like home is now their own little private sanctuary where they can go to high but night whenever they so desire. The lignin peninsula lies north of the Arctic Circle this holiday home is perfectly suited to the cold climate in northern norway where snow covers the ground for roughly half the year it was built by hard part kramer to over felt hello welcome to my cabin cum inside.

I go in this home that every saturday one of the our here we take this out with the family to go with daughter. And they also. They have a yeah we warm us here. Have a coffee the bedrooms face the heath behind the cabin till the fells and her husband searched for twenty years until they found this spot to build their cabin construction began in two thousand and seven their idea was to build a cabin that harmonizes with its environment yet also provides a warm haven amid these harsh climes. I like the structure that feeling the warm feeling it gives we wanted to. Be like i said. You see it oh i own all there. On the outside. The cabins wooden structure was neatly fitted into the few words rock formation its walls are lined with low who wind currents. Architects norris jenison designed the cabin and chose materials like wood which will withstand the harsh arctic climate for many years. Its untreated so it has a great yes look but still its a warm work and on the outside see dark which of course in this climate also is. Very well suited. And turns your silver grey in time. Yet toward the fountain Hubbard Kramer spent plenty of time outside if the weather permits it sometimes they can observe reindeer or whales at sea and in the winter they sometimes see the Northern Lights this is why they love being so far north. Its the better and not the temperate or. They are their surroundings we have here. That i have. That.
