Director Werner Herzog has a new documentary screening at this year's New Zealand International Film Festival. In Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, he enters cyberspace to explore the internet from its origins, meeting pioneers and prophets, and discovering the extent to which the online world has transformed the real world.
The film, backed by tech company NetScout, was a curious project for the documentarian, who’s not exactly the most connected person on the planet.
“They didn’t know I made first phone call when I was 17 and they didn’t know I had no cellphone,” Herzog tells Kim Hill down a landline from his home in Los Angeles.

He's also most likely New Zealand's oldest dad after becoming a father again aged 78. His new illustrated memoir Bromhead: Scratching a Living, is out on 1 July.
Interview highlights
Kim Hill: Tell me about your father?
Peter Bromhead: Well, I didn’t really know much about my father. Only that he spent most of his time in a sanitorium and the man my mother was living with, who I thought was my father, was a submariner.
And the only thing I can tell you is: My mother spent most of her time telling me what an awful person my father was, but I never knew why.
So, I discovered he died in 1939 or 1940 of TB, and spent most of my young life living in the sanitorium.
Yes, it pays to remember that streptomycin didn’t come along until later.
Exactly. A lot of people died of this awful disease at the time.
In fact, whenever I’ve had miniature chest x-rays, I’m immediately sent along for a major x-ray because I still have TB scars myself.
You thought that your stepfather was your father until how old?
He died, his submarine went missing in 1940. So, at that point I thought he’d gone. But for most those early years, in the late ‘30s and 1940, I thought he was my father.
It was sort of a strange discovery.
The only clue I had was that I had was this medal with the name James Hancock on it.
But I never really understood. I thought it was a friend of my father. But it was the man who eventually became my stepfather.
How old when you discovered that?
The reality? Oh, when I was 82.
How old were you when you first married?
I got married when I was 22 or 3, I think it was.
That’s quite young, isn’t it?
Well you know, I was alone and isolated and very unsure and very unclear about the world.
Because I’d run away from naval school and that, I had no education. I think I must be the only person on the planet who’s been able to hold jobs like curator of the Auckland Art Gallery and be a university lecturer who doesn’t even have basic School Certificate.

A fat gene?
BODY:
Giles Yeo is is a neuroscientist and geneticist from Cambridge University who studies the the brain and how it controls weight. In a new BBC documentary called 'Why Are We Getting So Fat?', he travels around the UK looking at the latest obesity-related science. For the past 8 years the genetics of obesity, and specifically a so-called 'fat gene' called FTO, has been a focal point of his work.
EXTENDED BODY:
Could knowing that you are more likely to be obese, genetically speaking, make you eat less?
Giles Yeo is a neuroscientist and geneticist based at Cambridge University, he studies the brain and how it controls weight. In the UK 62% of adults are either overweight or obese and here in New Zealand 68% of us are too heavy.
Giles also works as a TV presenter, and in his latest BBC Horizon documentary, called 'Why Are We Getting So Fat?', he travels around the UK meeting obese people and looking at the latest obesity-related science, from faecal transplants to hormone injections.
The main focus of his work for the past 8 years has been on a gene called FTO, dubbed the 'fat gene'.

How itching boosts viruses
BODY:
The usual response when a mosquito bites you is to have a good scratch. But stop! Because the inflammation that makes you want to scratch a mosquito bite also dramatically boosts the infection rate for viruses, like Zika, dengue or yellow fever. Marieke Pingen and her colleagues at the University of Leeds have published their findings in the journal Immunity this week.
EXTENDED BODY:
The inflammation that makes you want to scratch a mosquito bite also dramatically boosts the infection rate for viruses like dengue fever, the Ross River virus and Zika.
Marieke Pingen and her colleagues at the University of Leeds are examining how viruses are hijacking our immune systems to replicate and cause disease. They publish their findings in the journal Immunity this week.
The research shows how a mosquito's saliva triggers an inflammatory response that attracts a range of cell types to the bite site. Incoming immune cells are particularly prone to infection, and the physical swelling of the tissue around the bite also also helps the virus gain a foot-hold and then spread.
The research suggests that blocking the inflammatory response at the bite site could lead to a new way to control mosquito-spread infection.
"We tested two very different types of virus, which work in very different ways, and got the same result. So we think that this might point to a new way to block mosquito-borne illness." Researcher Clive McKimmie

Peak performance
BODY:
In his book Peak: Secrets From the New Science of Expertise Anders Ericsson (pioneer of the '10,000 hour rule') sums up the state of our knowledge about skills and abilities and how we can acquire them.
EXTENDED BODY:
The '10,000 hour rule' – the idea that you can master any skill if you practice for the magic number of 10,000 hours – is widely quoted and accepted in modern society. Malcolm Gladwell popularised the idea in 2008 when he released his book Outliers, claiming "10,000 hours is the magic number of greatness". You can see the appeal too, – anyone can do anything a lot and then be an expert! Success is in anyone's grasp if you're prepared to work hard enough.
But it's an idea that has been oversimplified and even misinterpreted from the original research – a 1993 paper by Anders Ericsson and his colleagues.
In his new book Peak: Secrets From the New Science of Expertise Professor Ericsson sets the record straight.
"The world's reigning expert on expertise" tells This Way Up's Simon Morton about the current state of our knowledge about skills and abilities and how we can acquire them.

Symbolic sounds
BODY:
Consumer history is littered with product names that have been lost in translation. Now there's something else for people naming new products to worry about! Work in the field of sound symbolism by Cristina Rabaglia at the University of Toronto is showing how people associate some sounds with closeness, and others with distance.
EXTENDED BODY:
From Nads Hair Removal Gel , to Wack Off! insect repellent, there's the tasty SARS canned drink and Ikea's Fartfull work bench; consumer history is littered with a litany of product names that have been lost in translation.
Now there's something else for people naming new products to worry about; the distance of sound.
Husband and wife Sam Maglio and Cristina Rabaglia of the University of Toronto research sound symbolism, the intuitive understanding of the meaning of specific sounds.
Their work has shown that people associate some sounds with closeness, and others with distance. So people automatically associate front vowel sounds (produced with the tongue forward in the mouth, such as the 'ee' sound in 'feet') with things that are close by. On the other hand they relate back vowel sounds (produced with the tongue far back in the mouth i.e. the 'oo' in 'food') to things that are farther away.
"Our feelings and intuitions about sounds influence what we feel is okay for names of specific items or brands," Cris Rabaglia says. "If you name something in a way that isn't intuitive, it could decrease the likelihood that people will want to interact with that product."

Hidden manuscripts
BODY:
Imaging technology is revealing medieval manuscripts hidden for hundreds of years. The work's currently being done on handwritten paper and parchments that date back up to 1,100 years, when it was common to recycle texts and reuse the paper as a cover or spine reinforcement. Professor Joris Dik of Delft University of Technology calls it 'a library hidden in a library'.
EXTENDED BODY:
Imaging technology is helping to reveal art and medieval manuscripts that have been hidden for hundreds of years.
The work's currently being done on handwritten paper and parchments that date back over 1,000 years, when it was common to paint over canvasses and reuse paper as a covering or spine reinforcement.
Access to these hidden libraries and pictures has been made possible by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry technology which allows texts to be read without being damaged.
Professor Joris Dik of Delft University of Technology started using the technology 8 years ago on some paintings by Vincent van Gogh.

Garbage's Butch Vig talks to Sam Wicks about pulling double duties as the band's drummer and in-house producer.
EXTENDED BODY:
With his Garbage bandmate Steve Marker, production mastermind Butch Vig set up Smart Studios in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin in 1982, a no-frills recording space that would see records cut from the likes of Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Sparklehorse.
"I am not particular in terms of what kind of studio I work in," he says. "In fact, in some ways I like it when you have to struggle a bit more to come up with sounds. If the vibe is cool, it doesn't matter what the acoustics are like – you can usually find a way to make it work for you."
Now working out of Grunge Is Dead, his basement studio in Silverlake, Los Angeles, Butch continues to deliver a big sound out of small spaces. He talks to Sam Wicks about Strange Little Birds, the sixth studio album from his American-Scottish electronic rock outfit.

Marlon Williams - in Session
BODY:
Lyttelton darling Marlon Williams is back at home, fresh from playing on Conan O'Brien's late night show in the US. Williams premieres a new song and pays tribute to Ralph Stanley.
EXTENDED BODY:
Lyttelton's Marlon Williams is back at home after a whirlwind year touring the UK, US and Europe and following the release of his debut, self-titled album. He premieres a new song, pays tribute to the late bluegrass pioneer Ralph Stanley, and catches up with Music 101's Kirsten Johnstone at The Sitting Room.
On 'Arahura': "I wrote it with my ex-girlfriend's dad in mind, he's a West Coaster, and I know how much a part of the landscape he is. There's something firm and unmoving about that place. I affiliate to that river, [Arahura] with Kāi Tahu, on my mum's side, she's often over there looking for greenstone. It's emotionally a big part of my family. The line 'Te Rauparaha, the greenest of eyes, he came a long way for a shimmering prize' - [Te Rauparaha] came down and used grievances with Kāi Tahu chiefs as a cases belli to go in there and plunder the greenstone."
On new songwriting: "I took a couple of weeks in Austin after I did SXSW a couple of months ago, and it was the first time I've been completely alone for years. It was quite difficult at the start, but it seemed to bear some fruit. It takes a while to quiet yourself, and to put the mirror down, because it really is such a confronting process, touring and talking about yourself so often. When you finally get the time to settle down and really think about it, you realise you're three masks ahead of where you wanted to be. It's becoming more and more important to me to have silent time."

Beats n Pieces
BODY:
We witness Christchurch hip hop collective Beats n Pieces, together behind the decks for the first time in 15 years.
EXTENDED BODY:
From the humble origins of Anton Carter's sole swappa crate of records, Christchurch hip hop collective Beats'n'Pieces steadily established itself as a key player in the Aotearoa hip hop scene.
Combining his vinyl with fellow hip hop head Hamish Clark (Breaks Co-op) AKA Hame Hame, the duo established the long-running student radio show Beats 'n' Pieces on RDU 98.5FM and were promptly joined by DJs Ali (Alistair Toto) and Richie Broke. The group went onto record their own original material with support from community arts organisation, Pacific Underground, where the likes of a young Scribe and Ladi6 first stepped up to the mic.
In 1995 Beats'n'Pieces' first released their single, Worldwide, a track which epitomised the urban sound and grooves of the time.
The trio went on to organise Aotearoa’s first hip hop summit in 2000, but haven’t been together since. Until 'Hotter Than A Meltdown' - a gig that reunited the crew with ex-Cantabrians Electric Wire Hustle and Ladi6.
Yadana Saw caught up with Beats n Pieces before soundcheck to find out what brought them back behind the decks.

The Chills Live At The NZ Arts Festival
One of the first acts to be signed to Flying Nun, Dunedin band The Chills became known internationally in the early 80s for jangly pop songs ‘Pink Frost’, ‘I Love My Leather Jacket’ and ‘Heavenly Pop Hit’. Frontman Martin Phillipps hasn’t let his songwriting knack slip though - last year they released Silver Bullets - their first album in twenty years. They played the NZ Festival earlier in the year, we were there to catch them playing a mix of new songs and old favourites.
