Marco Tempest: The augmented reality of techno-magic

Translator: Jonas Tholstrup Christensen Reviewer: Jacob Buch Petersen

So magic is a very introverted field.

Magi er et meget indesluttet område.

While scientists regularly publish their latest research,

Mens videnskabsmænd regelmæssigt offentliggør deres seneste resultater,

we magicians do not like to share our methods and secrets.

kan vi tryllekunstnere ikke lide at dele ud af vores metoder og hemmeligheder.

That's true even amongst peers.

Det er endda også sandt blandt kolleger.

But if you look at creative practice as a form of research,

Men hvis du ser på kreativ praksis som en form for forskning,

or art as a form of R&D for humanity,

eller kunst som en form for R&D for menneskeligheden,

then how could a cyber illusionist like myself

hvordan kan en cyber illusionist som mig selv

share his research?

så dele ud af sin forskning?

Now my own speciality is combining digital technology and magic.

Min egen specialitet er at kombinere digital teknologi og magi.

And about three years ago,

Og for cirka tre år siden

I started an exercise

begyndte jeg på en øvelse

in openness and inclusiveness

i åbenhed og rummelighed

by reaching out into the open-source software community

ved at række ud i open-source software fællesskabet

to create new digital tools for magic --

for at skabe nye digitale værktøjer til magi --

tools that could eventually be shared with other artists

værktøjer som i så fald kunne deles med andre kunstnere

to start them off further on in the process

og hjælpe dem med at starte længere fremme i processen

and to get them to the poetry faster.

og komme frem til poesien hurtigere.

Today, I'd like to show you something which came out of these collaborations.

I dag vil jeg vise jer noget som kom ud af disse samarbejder.

It's an augmented reality

Det er et forstærket virkeligheds

projection tracking and mapping system,

projektions sporings- og kortlægningssystem,

or a digital storytelling tool.

eller et digitalt fortælleværktøj.

Could we bring down the lights please? Thank you.

Kan vi få dæmpet lyset? Tak.

So let's give this a try.

Så lad os give det et forsøg.

And I'm going to use it

Og jeg kommer til at bruge det

to give you my take

til at give jer min version

on the stuff of life.

af ting i livet.

Terribly sorry. I forgot the floor.

Beklager. Jeg glemte gulvet.

Wake up.

Vågn op.

Åh, undskyld.

Forgot this.

Glemte det her.

(Music)

(Musik)

Give it another try.

Giv det en chance til.

Okay.

Okay.

He figured out the system.

Han gennemskuede systemet.

(Laughter)

Latter)

(Applause)

(Klapsalver)

(Music)

(Musik)

Uh oh.

Åh åh.

(Music)

(Musik)

All right. Let's try this.

Okay. Lad os prøve det her.

Come on.

Kom så.

(Music)

(Musik)

Farvel.
