In dieser Folge zu Gast: Boris Eldagsen – Künstler, Philosoph, Provokateur. Und der Mann, der den renommierten Sony World Photography Award ablehnte, weil sein Siegerbild nicht von ihm, sondern von einer Künstlichen Intelligenz erzeugt wurde. Was wie ein PR-Stunt klingt, war in Wahrheit ein Weckruf an die Kunstwelt – und an unsere gesamte Gesellschaft. In einem tiefgründigen, kritischen und gleichzeitig inspirierenden Gespräch spricht Boris mit mir über eine der brennendsten Fragen unserer Zeit: Was ist Kunst – und was passiert mit ihr, wenn Maschinen beginnen, kreativ zu sein?

Für ihn ist sie Herausforderung, Werkzeug und Spiegel zugleich. Und er nimmt uns mit in seine Gedankenwelt, die sich irgendwo zwischen Zukunftsangst, kreativer Euphorie und philosophischer Neugier bewegt. Wir sprechen über die Frage, ob ein von KI erzeugtes Bild überhaupt Kunst sein kann – oder ob dafür nicht ein menschliches Gefühl, eine Biografie, ein Scheitern notwendig ist. Boris teilt seine ganz persönliche Definition von Kunst und warum KI seiner Meinung nach niemals Künstler sein wird. Denn Kreativität bedeutet für ihn mehr als nur Kombination: Es geht um Intention, Erfahrung und die Fähigkeit, das eigene Menschsein auszudrücken. Doch genau hier beginnt das Dilemma. Denn KI wird besser. Schneller. Präziser. Sie analysiert Millionen Daten in Sekunden, erkennt Muster, kombiniert wie nie zuvor – und erzeugt dabei Bilder, die täuschend echt, emotional und oft sogar „genial“ wirken. Wird das reichen, um menschliche Künstler zu verdrängen? Oder entsteht gerade eine völlig neue Rolle für Kreative – als Kuratoren, Dirigenten, Ideenarchitekten? Boris erzählt, wie sich seine eigene Arbeit verändert hat, seit er KI-Tools nutzt. Was früher Budget, Technik, große Filmsets erforderte, schafft er heute aus dem Nichts – mit Vorstellungskraft und einem Prompt. Doch er warnt auch: Wer keine eigene kreative Handschrift mitbringt, wird von der KI nur den statistischen Durchschnitt bekommen. Wir sprechen über die Chancen, die Gefahren und die ethischen Fragen, die sich mit KI in Kunst und Gesellschaft auftun. Über das massive Tempo, in dem sich diese Revolution entfaltet – und warum weder die Politik noch die Bildung bislang darauf vorbereitet sind. Und wir reden darüber, wie wir als Gesellschaft mit einer Zukunft umgehen können, in der Realität und Fiktion nicht mehr zu unterscheiden sind. Boris' Geschichte ist ein Weckruf – nicht nur für Künstler, sondern für uns alle.

I enjoyed the link you sent me with the Jet Harris interview.....I didn't know he was the first to use a Fender electric bass guitar....good stuff...I met Jet when I was working on Radio Merseyside....and we had a few pints in the local ....before he went tee total....and chatted about his adventures with The Shadows and I got some interesting inside info... he really was a nice fella and like most of those who have been there he was very humble.....a sad loss. I watched a programme on ABBA....it's hard to believe how good they were....I can't remember them making a bad record....and they made most of them in several languages....and I also watched the 2017 E.L.O. concert in Wembley arena.....mind blowing.....I know you are a big Beatles fan mate....you can have 'em......no comparison......and needless to say we have none stop Christmas records on various channels on the telly....I can't REALLY complain because back in the day I wrote a Christmas musical for Radio City which contained six Christmas songs....I wrote the script and all the songs and it was broadcast on Christmas Day.......the two members of the station involved changed the names of the two main characters which they felt gave them the right to regard themselves as the writers.....but that's another story....the play was nominated for a Sony Award and was performed by several local schools....I also wrote another two Xmas musicals which again several local schools performed......so all in all I have written 18 Christmas songs....plus a few others....so I had better not criticise those we hear every year. Still on the music scene Channel 5 have a weekly look at the best selling records of the 70s....this week was 1979....it is a fascinating programme which counts down the 30 best sellers and gives the background to the songs with the likes of Brian Ferry,Queen and Michael Jackson who was really good looking back then before he altered his face....not sure why......I've watched the whole series and must applaud Channel 5 for a great programme...and surprisingly enough Bradley Walsh wasn't on it. I recently came across a magazine article about my chance meeting with wrestler Adrian Street which led to me writing and producing two albums of wrestling songs for him.....which involved me going to The States and appearing on TV with him....we became great friends and are still in touch.....the albums have recently been re-released by an American company and can be downloaded from the internet....the songs keep coming back to haunt me...with titles like "Violence is Golden"..."Merchant of Menace" and "I'm In Love With Me"...it is hardly surprising.....I could write a book on my adventures we had in Florida but no-one would believe it. So this week I would like to feature a song which I was told by a major label that the world would never be ready for....they were NOT impressed......it was one I composed for Adrian Street which he used to enter the ring to.....it ended up in a movie called "Grunt-The Wrestling Movie" and also on MTV in the States.....so the song which the world would never be ready for paid off my mortgage......it is entitled "Imagine What I Could Do To You"

I have been willing to make an episode on paternity leave for a longtime, looking around for the right person to meet! That was until I discovered Johan'sexhibit called Swedish Dads. Johan Bävman is a photographer and has won several awards, including the World Press Photo, Sony Award, UNICEF PhotoAward. His series Swedish Dads had a tremendous impact and has been published/shared widely all over the world.Together we will speak about paternity leave. A topic that is a lot less anecdotal than one might think at first sight. It is even a critical step to gender equality, but beyond that, it is a major milestone to a cultural mindshit that is key to rethink masculinity and reinvent a system around a wider set of values, changing from our current patriarchal software to a more modern and caring culture.

What kind of writing keeps us thinking about technology and social media platforms, and their place in our lives - especially when they're seamlessly woven into our days? Ian McMillan is joined by comedian and actress Isy Suttie, political analyst Nanjala Nyabola, the poet Jack Underwood, and communications lecturer Dr Paul Taylor. Isy Suttie writes and performs a brand new song for The Verb about disappearing into the wormhole of the smartphone, and considers throwing her devices into the sea. But will that just encourage sharks to tweet, she wonders? Isy won a Sony Award for her radio series 'Pearl and Dave'; her novel 'Jane is Trying' is published later this year. Political Analyst and essayist Nanjala Nyabola tells us about the satisfaction of finding Kiswahili words for technological terms conceived in English, and how important the right language is for shaping our political futures. Nanjala shares her love of the work of Botswanan writer Bessie Head and discusses her collection of essays 'Travelling While Black'. Poet Jack Underwood's new book is a lyric essay, combining poetry and prose; it's called 'Not Even This: Poetry, parenthood and living' and is a tender exploration of time, uncertainty and fatherhood. Jack argues for poetry as a respite from the risks of generalisation and certainty that much of today's technology seems to encourage. Dr Paul Taylor is a senior lecturer in communications theory at the University of Leeds, and he avoids social media completely. Paul explains why he looks for insights into how technology may be influencing not just how we use our time - but what we think we are here for - in the work of Italian novelist Italo Calvino and in the novels of French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre.

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com In episode 008 of the Looking Sideways Action Sports podcast, I was ‘catertained' by the great DJ BBQ, aka Christian Stevenson. Christian may currently be best known for being a breakout star on Jamie Oliver’s FoodTube, but his roots in action sports go back thirty years. He's been a film-maker, team manager, a BAFTA-award winning TV presenter, a Sony Award-winning radio DJ, and a best-selling author. Christian is one of those action sports lifers who has managed to pursue his passions, grasp every opportunity life has thrown at him and deal with the inevitable setbacks in inimitable style. During a riotous chat, recorded as Christian cooked for me, we looked back over his life and career. Thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.

To round off the Christmas play I have sent you two of the remaining songs….”Santa’s Song” and “In Me Christmas Stockin’”…..we have reached the stage where after our main hero Jimmy who doesn’t believe in Father Xmas wakes up on Xmas morning with no presents thus,to his mind,proving his point so he wanders round to his pals house to let him know he is right…meeting the milkman and the postman on the way…neither of whom can convince him he is wrong….he arrives at his mate’s to find him with all his presents….his pal then takes him down the road where Santa is just about to take off for home….he recognises Jimmy and tells him “if you don’t believe …you don’t get”….Jimmy apologises but Santa tells him it’s too late…he’ll have to wait til next year…Santa then sings his song explaining that it’s not just a once a year job.(Santa was played by my mate Carl Chase who can be seen in films like “The Mummy” and “Cut Throat Island”)….Jimmy is shattered….then suddenly he finds himself in his bedroom….he had been dreaming after all…AND he had a stack of presents….and his mum says she found a note on his pillow “I decided to make one more stop”…so WAS it in fact a dream?....the play finishes with Jimmy singing “In Me Xmas Stockin’”….. The play was broadcast by Radio City on two consecutive Christmas’s and was nominated for a Sony Award….it was taken up by many schools in the area which resulted in me writing two more follow ups. 2.I watched a programme on Ken Dodd…what an incredible man….to me he is the greatest entertainer the world has ever produced. Considering his age he is still at the top of his game….his contribution to show business is mammoth….and yet the powers that be have never awarded him a knighthood which he thoroughly deserves…maybe he is too funny (unlike the comedians of today) or maybe they are too busy awarding knighthoods to the likes of Jimmy Savile and Rolph Harris…to me he will always be SIR Ken Dodd. ….nowadays we have to put up with the likes of “Chattyman” Alan Carr squawking away with his unfunny gay inuendo 3.I read an article which made me smile….apparently Janette Tough who is Jimmy Krankie is to have a part in the “Absolutely Fabulous” film with Joanna Lumley and co doing their bit…Janette plays a Chinaman….but because her face is painted YELLOW…GOD FORBID…there have been screams of “RACIST!””….have you ever heard such absolute tripe…this P.C. lot need to get over themselves before they destroy comedy once and for all…it’s pathetic…it HUMOUR for heaven’s sake…..might as well cancel all pantos before some moron decides the dame is homophobic. Janette and Ian are friends of mine and they are a delightful couple who haven’t got a racist bone in their bodies….time some of our population got real. 4.On a similar subject…when you see these wonderful school Christmas plays and nativities what you are seeing a is a collection of young human beings who see each other as equal…there is no hatred no jealousy etc….the problem with the world today is the poison put into these innocent minds by parents who want to live through their kids. We go on about how kids should be taught when in fact they could teach us a lesson or two….maybe one day the world will see this. 5.We have had some very strange weather in this country lately….14 – 16 degrees in DECEMBER….warmest since records began…maybe I misheard our wonderful TV forecasters back in September when we were warned of temperatures of MINUS 30 degrees on their way…pretty close eh?...how much are these “experts” on again?....it’s very strange when blossoms are appearing on trees and daffodils are sprouting….personally I prefer the standard winter with a bite in the air. Had a stroll around the Chester wall this week…extremely quiet…I thought the shops would be heaving…not so…very strange….but very nice.

The song this week is a song is from a Christmas musical I wrote for Radio City in the 80’s…..this is the demo the cast worked from…..the kids in the play sang the song and the play was broadcast on Christmas day two years on the trot….it was also nominated for a Sony Award….the cast included Johnny Kennedy…Paul Damian…the late Joe Butler…Carl Chase… and others. The song also recorded by Penny Page and Googi on vinyl….the play went on to be performed by a lot of schools…all good stuff. ….A friend of mine told me her son and daughter in law went to Rome on their honeymoon….while they were at the train station he went to sort out the tickets and left her with the cases…she felt water dripping on her head so she looked up…when she looked down the cases had gone…passports the lot …. obviously some moron with a water pistol…. I saw her again this week and she told me the same couple were in Paris over last weekend…with their baby…talk about unlucky….it’s nice to see the support we are giving to the French during these terrible times…it’s hard to believe it all. ………I enjoyed the podcast you sent me with your Albert Lee interview….he is a great guitarist but as he says there are so many different styles so it’s impossible to be the best “overall” guitarist…Albert is a guitarists guitarist enjoyed mainly by those who know what to listen for….(the average audience don’t know the difference between Segovia and George Formby)…and his “first” instrument is the piano….so imagine how good he is on that…..to play with the likes of these guys is very special but as I’ve always said you have Vegas… or the local pub…same pressures different venue.

And of course it has to be all the “swing” standards that only the Rat Pack do properly…it’s pretty bad…BUT his album has got into the charts which proves you can kid most of the people most of the time…but he wont make much as he doesn’t write the stuff…then we have Peter Andre with his “swing” album…same stuff…and he’s even worse….but no doubt the sheep who phone in their votes for “Strictly” will buy it….give us a break guys…give us something ORIGINAL !!

Marsha meets stand up comedian, The Thick of It actor, Sony Award winner, author, movie actor and all round lovely chap Chris Addison...

In a melting magical funnel of musical love (and the odd bit of reverb), musician David Bramwell investigates the unlikely story of how, in 1969, an amateur dramatic production of "Alice Through the Looking Glass", starring a young Martha Kearney, became one of the most sought-after psychedelic records in the world. Sony Award-winning musician David Bramwell heads out over the Downs to Ditchling, Sussex, where Peter Howell and John Ferdinando first met as teenagers - creating the soundtrack for the Ditchling Players' performance of "Alice", using not only musical instruments, but also kitchen appliances and field recordings, utilising the possibilities of the latest domestic recording gadget - a reel-to-reel tape machine. Bramwell travels across the Downs to meet folk chanteuse Shirley Collins and her tales of ghostly morris bells; dives beneath the waters of the Ouse with musician Isobel Anderson; is serenaded on the chalky hillsides by God of Hellfire, Arthur Brown; encounters a modern day Puck of Pook's Hill - poet Sam Walker; and finds out about the Ditchling Players from Ian Clayton, member since 1948, and his son Matthew; before enticing Martha Kearney, the young Alice, to recall the production's eccentric Englishness. For the confused, he grapples with the term 'pastoral psych folk' with former Oz and NME journalist John May, and rare groove aficionado Richard Norris, who moved to Sussex under the influence of this strange piece of musical history. And what became of those two young musicians? One is now a local surveyor - though he still plays in a band - whilst the other went on to re-master the Dr Who theme tune as a member of the Radiophonic Workshop. With music from the original album, and composer David Bramwell, 'White Rabbits in Sussex' is a psychedelic journey of its own, blending experimental studio techniques with music and narrative as we traverse the waterways and bottoms, the beacons and duck ponds of Sussex, in search of the muse. Producer: Sara Jane Hall.

RHLSTP #24 - Isy Suttie - The Moon Told Me To Kill. It's the clash of the vaguely gold coloured Sony Award winners, but who will come off as comedy king (or queen). The shamefully uncompetitive and relentlessly cheerful Isy Suttie isn't even entering into it. But she is prepared to perform her own fire-based stunts (check out the video podcast to see this in all its burning glory - www.gofasterstripe.com/podcasts). Many questions that will be answered in this penultimate episode of the series: Why do Indian call centre staff know how to pronounce Isy's surname? When should a mother stop breast-feeding? Can you communicate with your own ghost via a ouija board? How are relations between Rich's grandma and grandad in Heaven? Also advice on how to fail to seduce 12 year old boys, heckles from a Olympic gold medal winner and a delightful musical finale.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Check out our website and become a badger and see extra content http://rhlstp.co.ukSee details of the RHLSTP tour dates http://richardherring.com/gigsBuy DVDs and Books at http://gofasterstripe.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Frame 21: After last week's debacle all the Mes are hoping that there will be no recording malfunctions, but if you were disappointed to miss the most exciting frame ever - Frame 20 - then 21 should make up for it. Because the stakes are love versus death. It's a sombre and poignant atmosphere, made slightly spooky by some Rock Band guitars being moved perhaps by some Halloween spirit. There won't be a dry eye in the house after the astonishing denouement. Steel yourself for a harrowing 30 minutes of audio self-playing snooker. The Sony Award is in the bag.

Frank chats about their Sony Award win, Gareth tells of his first first TV appearance and Emily reveals her fascination with Red or Black.

If you’re up for a banter down the pub with a couple of intellectual light-weights then you’ve come to the right place. It starts with the chat about which 7 Dwarf would you rather be; which is better Glasgow or Edinburgh and which football team would you change your name to. And then it goes slightly uphill with Joe’s mate Pogo joining him for the pub quiz. Do you know who’s the most capped manager in the Premiership? Could you guess which product Dennis Compton advertised years before Keegan and big ‘Enry were splashing it all over with Brut? Or which player currently playing in Scotland scored the last goal in the Premiership in the 20th Century. Added to this a really bad gag about women’s panties and some new beer label warnings and I think you’ll realise it’s not going to win any fancy Sony Award. Step into the Unathletic Arms for a bit of pub chat. Not for the intellectually gifted.
