00:12
I'd like to introduce you to an organism:
0
12632
3105
Htjela bih vam predstaviti organizam:
00:15
a slime mold, Physarum polycephalum.
1
15737
3456
sluzavu plijesan, Physarum polycephalum.
00:19
It's a mold with an identity crisis, because it's not a mold,
2
19193
2822
To je plijesan s krizom identiteta budući da nije plijesan,
00:22
so let's get that straight to start with.
3
22015
1930
stoga bismo prvo to trebali raščistiti.
00:23
It is one of 700 known slime molds
4
23945
2536
Ona je jedna od 700 poznatih sluzavih plijesni
00:26
belonging to the kingdom of the amoeba.
5
26481
2137
koje spadaju u kraljevstvo ameba.
00:28
It is a single-celled organism, a cell,
6
28618
2623
To je jednostanični organizam, stanica,
00:31
that joins together with other cells
7
31241
2240
koja se spaja s drugim stanicama
00:33
to form a mass super-cell
8
33481
2232
kako bi stvorila veliku super-stanicu
00:35
to maximize its resources.
9
35713
2240
kako bi najučinkovitije iskoristila svoje resurse.
00:37
So within a slime mold you might find thousands
10
37953
2160
Unutar sluzave plijesni možete naći tisuće
00:40
or millions of nuclei,
11
40113
2247
ili milijune jezgara
00:42
all sharing a cell wall,
12
42360
1761
koje dijele stanični zid
00:44
all operating as one entity.
13
44121
3108
i funkcioniraju kao jedan entitet.
00:47
In its natural habitat,
14
47229
1604
U svom prirodnom staništu,
00:48
you might find the slime mold foraging in woodlands,
15
48833
2796
možete ju naći kako traži hranu u šumskim područjima,
00:51
eating rotting vegetation,
16
51629
3701
kako jede trule biljke,
00:55
but you might equally find it
17
55330
1540
ali ju jednako možete naći
00:56
in research laboratories,
18
56870
1542
u istraživačkim laboratorijima,
00:58
classrooms, and even artists' studios.
19
58412
4202
učionicama pa čak i ateljeima.
01:02
I first came across the slime mold about five years ago.
20
62614
2935
Prvi sam se puta susrela s njom prije otprilike pet godina.
01:05
A microbiologist friend of mine
21
65549
1557
Jedan mi je prijatelj mikrobiolog
01:07
gave me a petri dish with a little yellow blob in it
22
67106
3124
dao petrijevu zdjelicu s malenom žutom mrljom
01:10
and told me to go home and play with it.
23
70230
3008
i rekao mi je da se odem kući igrati s njom.
01:13
The only instructions I was given,
24
73238
2007
Jedina uputa koju sam dobila bila je
01:15
that it likes it dark and damp
25
75245
1784
da voli tamu i vlagu
01:17
and its favorite food is porridge oats.
26
77029
4331
i da joj je omiljeno jelo zobena kaša.
01:21
I'm an artist who's worked for many years
27
81360
2018
Ja sam umjetnica koja je radila mnogo godina
01:23
with biology, with scientific processes,
28
83378
2847
s biologijom, znanstvenim procesima,
01:26
so living material is not uncommon for me.
29
86225
3011
tako da mi živi materijal nije stran.
01:29
I've worked with plants, bacteria,
30
89236
2105
Radila sam s biljkama, bakterijama,
01:31
cuttlefish, fruit flies.
31
91341
1519
sipama, vinskim mušicama.
01:32
So I was keen to get my new collaborator home
32
92860
2602
Željela sam što prije odnijeti svog novog suradnika kući
01:35
to see what it could do.
33
95462
1376
da vidim što može.
01:36
So I took it home and I watched.
34
96838
3202
Odnijela sam ga kući i promatrala.
01:40
I fed it a varied diet.
35
100040
2770
Hranila sam ga raznovrsnom hranom.
01:42
I observed as it networked.
36
102810
1924
Proučavala sam kako se umrežava.
01:44
It formed a connection between food sources.
37
104734
2276
Stvaralo je veze između izvora hrane.
01:47
I watched it leave a trail behind it,
38
107010
2838
Gledala sam kako ostavlja trag za sobom,
01:49
indicating where it had been.
39
109848
1759
što je upućivalo na to gdje je bio.
01:51
And I noticed that when it was fed up with one petri dish,
40
111607
2948
Uočila sam da, kad mu dosadi jedna petrijeva zdjelica,
01:54
it would escape and find a better home.
41
114555
2979
pobjegne i nađe bolji dom.
01:57
I captured my observations
42
117534
1728
Snimila sam svoja zapažanja
01:59
through time-lapse photography.
43
119262
1760
koristeći time-lapse fotografiju.
02:01
Slime mold grows at about one centimeter an hour,
44
121022
2838
Sluzava plijesan raste brzinom otprilike jedan centimetar po satu,
02:03
so it's not really ideal for live viewing
45
123860
2581
tako da nije zanimljiva za gledanje uživo
02:06
unless there's some form of really extreme meditation,
46
126441
2853
osim ako se radi o nekoj ekstremnoj meditaciji.
02:09
but through the time lapse,
47
129294
2528
Korištenjem time-lapsea,
02:11
I could observe some really interesting behaviors.
48
131822
3096
mogu promatrati neka prilično zanimljiva ponašanja.
02:14
For instance, having fed on a nice pile of oats,
49
134918
3500
Na primjer, kad se nahrani finom hrpom zobi,
02:18
the slime mold goes off to explore new territories
50
138418
4444
sluzava plijesan ode istražiti nova područja
02:22
in different directions simultaneously.
51
142862
2732
u različitim smjerovima u isto vrijeme.
02:25
When it meets itself,
52
145594
2239
Kad se ponovno sretne, zna da je ondje već bila,
02:27
it knows it's already there,
53
147833
1867
prepozna da je već ondje,
02:29
it recognizes it's there,
54
149700
1954
prepozna da je ondje
02:31
and instead retreats back
55
151654
1547
i vrati se
02:33
and grows in other directions.
56
153201
3680
i raste u drugim smjerovima.
02:36
I was quite impressed by this feat,
57
156881
2324
Bila sam prilično impresionirana tim pothvatom,
02:39
at how what was essentially just a bag of cellular slime
58
159205
3550
kako vreća stanične sluzi
02:42
could somehow map its territory,
59
162755
3230
može mapirati svoj teritorij,
02:45
know itself, and move with seeming intention.
60
165985
3472
poznavati sebe i kretati se s namjerom.
02:49
I found countless scientific studies,
61
169457
3653
Pronašla sam nebrojene znanstvene studije,
02:53
research papers, journal articles,
62
173110
2045
istraživanja, članke
02:55
all citing incredible work with this one organism,
63
175155
4224
koji su se bavili ovim organizmom,
02:59
and I'm going to share a few of those with you.
64
179379
1964
podijelit ću sada s vama nekoliko njih
03:01
For example, a team in Hokkaido University in Japan
65
181343
2960
Na primjer, tim iz sveučilišta Hokkaido u Japanu
03:04
filled a maze with slime mold.
66
184303
2032
ispunilo je labirint sluzavom plijesni.
03:06
It joined together and formed a mass cell.
67
186335
2096
Ona se spojila i stvorila veliku stanicu.
03:08
They introduced food at two points,
68
188431
2352
Stavili su hranu na dva mjesta,
03:10
oats of course,
69
190783
1198
zob, naravno,
03:11
and it formed a connection
70
191981
1646
i ona je stvorila vezu
03:13
between the food.
71
193627
1414
između hrane.
03:15
It retracted from empty areas and dead ends.
72
195041
2484
Povukla se iz praznih dijelova i slijepih završetaka.
03:17
There are four possible routes through this maze,
73
197525
2810
Postoje četiri moguća puta kroz ovaj labirint,
03:20
yet time and time again,
74
200335
2105
ali je opet iznova
03:22
the slime mold established the shortest
75
202440
2167
plijesan išla najkraćim
03:24
and the most efficient route.
76
204607
2453
i najučinkovitijim putem.
03:27
Quite clever.
77
207060
1251
Prilično pametno.
03:28
The conclusion from their experiment
78
208311
1739
Zaključak istraživanja
03:30
was that the slime mold had a primitive form of intelligence.
79
210050
2997
bio je da sluzava plijesan ima primitivan oblik inteligencije.
03:33
Another study exposed cold air at regular intervals to the slime mold.
80
213047
3863
Druga je studija dovodila zrak plijesni u pravilnim intervalima.
03:36
It didn't like it. It doesn't like it cold.
81
216910
2345
Nije joj se svidjelo. Ne voli kad joj je hladno.
03:39
It doesn't like it dry.
82
219255
1193
Ne voli kad je suho.
03:40
They did this at repeat intervals,
83
220448
2115
Ponavljali su to u određenim intervalima,
03:42
and each time, the slime mold
84
222563
1658
i svaki je put sluzava plijesan
03:44
slowed down its growth in response.
85
224221
3130
usporila svoj rast kao odgovor.
03:47
However, at the next interval,
86
227351
1844
S druge strane, kod sljedećeg intervala,
03:49
the researchers didn't put the cold air on,
87
229195
2824
istraživači nisu uključili hladan zrak,
03:52
yet the slime mold slowed down in anticipation
88
232019
3294
a plijesan je ipak usporila rast u iščekivanju
03:55
of it happening.
89
235313
1336
zahladnjenja.
03:56
It somehow knew that it was about the time
90
236649
2526
Nekako je znala da je vrijeme
03:59
for the cold air that it didn't like.
91
239175
1956
za hladan zrak koji joj se nije svidio.
04:01
The conclusion from their experiment
92
241131
1689
Zaključak njihovog pokusa
04:02
was that the slime mold was able to learn.
93
242820
3270
je da sluzava plijesan može učiti.
04:06
A third experiment:
94
246090
1231
Treći pokus:
04:07
the slime mold was invited
95
247321
1767
sluzava je plijesan pozvana da
04:09
to explore a territory covered in oats.
96
249088
4192
istražuje područje prekriveno zobi.
04:13
It fans out in a branching pattern.
97
253280
3047
Lepezasto se širi.
04:16
As it goes, each food node it finds,
98
256327
2648
Kako ide, sa svakim čvorom hrane na koji naiđe
04:18
it forms a network, a connection to,
99
258975
2700
stvori mrežu, vezu
04:21
and keeps foraging.
100
261675
1748
i nastavlja tražiti hranu.
04:23
After 26 hours, it established
101
263423
2441
Nakon 26 sati stvorila je
04:25
quite a firm network
102
265864
1617
prilično čvrstu mrežu
04:27
between the different oats.
103
267481
1790
između različitih zrna zobi.
04:29
Now there's nothing remarkable in this
104
269271
1820
Nema ništa zapanjujuće u tome
04:31
until you learn that the center oat that it started from
105
271091
2412
dok ne saznate da središnje zrno zobi od kojeg je krenula
04:33
represents the city of Tokyo,
106
273503
2014
predstavlja Tokio,
04:35
and the surrounding oats are suburban railway stations.
107
275517
4066
a da okolna zrnja predstavljaju željezničke stanice u predgrađu.
04:39
The slime mold had replicated
108
279583
2481
Sluzava je plijesan replicirala
04:42
the Tokyo transport network
109
282064
2416
prometnu mrežu Tokija.
04:44
— (Laughter) —
110
284480
1655
- (Smijeh) -
04:46
a complex system developed over time
111
286135
2995
Složenu mrežu razvijenu tijekom vremena
04:49
by community dwellings, civil engineering, urban planning.
112
289130
3900
preko javnih nastambi, građevina, urbanog planiranja.
04:53
What had taken us well over 100 years
113
293030
2273
Ono za što je nama trebalo preko 100 godina,
04:55
took the slime mold just over a day.
114
295303
3166
sluzava je plijesan riješila u nešto više od jednog dana.
04:58
The conclusion from their experiment
115
298469
1653
Zaključak njihovog istraživanja
05:00
was that the slime mold can form efficient networks
116
300122
2510
bio je da sluzava plijesan može tvoriti učinkovite mreže
05:02
and solve the traveling salesman problem.
117
302632
2623
i rješavati probleme trgovačkih putnika.
05:05
It is a biological computer.
118
305255
2264
Ona je biološko računalo.
05:07
As such, it has been mathematically modeled,
119
307519
2624
Kao takvo, matematički je modelirana,
05:10
algorithmically analyzed.
120
310143
1661
algoritamski raščlanjena.
05:11
It's been sonified, replicated, simulated.
121
311804
2705
Bila je ozvučena, replicirana, simulirana.
05:14
World over, teams of researchers
122
314509
2970
Diljem svijeta, timovi istraživača
05:17
are decoding its biological principles
123
317479
2970
dekodiraju njezina biološka načela
05:20
to understand its computational rules
124
320449
2141
kako bi razumjeli njezine računalne zakonitosti
05:22
and applying that learning to the fields of electronics,
125
322590
2254
i to primijenili na područja elektronike,
05:24
programming and robotics.
126
324844
2236
programiranja i robotike.
05:27
So the question is,
127
327080
2154
Pitanje je,
05:29
how does this thing work?
128
329234
2020
kako ta stvar radi?
05:31
It doesn't have a central nervous system.
129
331254
2160
Nema središnji živčani sustav.
05:33
It doesn't have a brain,
130
333414
1698
Nema mozak,
05:35
yet it can perform behaviors
131
335112
1828
a može izvoditi ponašanja
05:36
that we associate with brain function.
132
336940
1988
koja povezujemo s moždanom funkcijom.
05:38
It can learn, it can remember,
133
338928
1908
Može učiti, može pamtiti,
05:40
it can solve problems, it can make decisions.
134
340836
2757
može rješavati probleme, može donositi odluke.
05:43
So where does that intelligence lie?
135
343593
2715
Gdje leži njezina inteligencija?
05:46
So this is a microscopy, a video I shot,
136
346308
2492
Ovo je mikroskopska snimka koju sam snimila,
05:48
and it's about 100 times magnification,
137
348800
2653
na povećanju od približno 100 puta,
05:51
sped up about 20 times,
138
351453
2867
ubrzano oko 20 puta,
05:54
and inside the slime mold,
139
354320
1786
i unutar sluzave plijesni,
05:56
there is a rhythmic pulsing flow,
140
356106
3442
postoji ritmično pulsirajuće strujanje,
05:59
a vein-like structure carrying
141
359548
2168
struktura nalik veni nosi
06:01
cellular material, nutrients and chemical information
142
361716
3772
stanični materijal, nutrijente i kemijsku informaciju
06:05
through the cell,
143
365488
1858
po stanici,
06:07
streaming first in one direction and then back in another.
144
367346
3618
tekući prvo u jednom smjeru pa natrag u drugom smjeru.
06:10
And it is this continuous, synchronous oscillation
145
370964
3817
Ova kontinuirana, sinkrona oscilacija
06:14
within the cell that allows it to form
146
374781
2256
unutar stanice omogućava joj da stvori
06:17
quite a complex understanding of its environment,
147
377037
2982
složeno razumijevanje okoline,
06:20
but without any large-scale control center.
148
380019
3369
ali bez makroskopskog kontrolnog središta.
06:23
This is where its intelligence lies.
149
383388
2581
Ovdje leži njezina inteligencija.
06:25
So it's not just academic researchers
150
385969
3244
Nisu samo istraživači
06:29
in universities that are interested in this organism.
151
389213
2644
na sveučilištima zainteresirani za ovaj organizam.
06:31
A few years ago, I set up SliMoCo,
152

Prije nekoliko sam godina pokrenula SliMoCo,
06:34
the Slime Mould Collective.
153
394730
2340
Udruženje za Sluzavu Plijesan (eng. Slime Mould Collective.)
06:37
It's an online, open, democratic network
154
397070
3223
To je online, otvorena, demokratska mreža
06:40
for slime mold researchers and enthusiasts
155
400293
2096
za istraživače sluzave plijesni i entuzijaste
06:42
to share knowledge and experimentation
156
402389
2729
kako bi mogli dijeliti svoje znanje i istraživanja
06:45
across disciplinary divides
157
405118
2968
preko granica pojedinih disciplina
06:48
and across academic divides.
158
408086
3695
i akademskih granica.
06:51
The Slime Mould Collective membership is self-selecting.
159
411781
3440
Članstvo se samo izabire.
06:55
People have found the collective
160
415221
2796
Ljudi su ovu inicijativu pronašli
06:58
as the slime mold finds the oats.
161
418017
3698
na način na koji sluzava plijesan pronalazi zob.
07:01
And it comprises of scientists
162
421715
1693
Sastoji se od znanstvenika,
07:03
and computer scientists and researchers
163
423408
1559
informatičara i istraživača,
07:04
but also artists like me,
164
424967
2287
ali i od umjetnika kao što sam ja,
07:07
architects, designers, writers, activists, you name it.
165
427254
5092
arhitekata, dizajnera, pisaca, aktivista, čega god.
07:12
It's a very interesting, eclectic membership.
166
432346
4183
To je vrlo zanimljiva, eklektična ekipa.
07:16
Just a few examples:
167
436529
1337
Evo nekoliko primjera:
07:17
an artist who paints with fluorescent Physarum;
168
437866
3125
umjetnik koji slika s fluorescentnim Physarumom;
07:20
a collaborative team
169
440991
1572
ekipa koja surađuje
07:22
who are combining biological and electronic design
170
442563
3778
i koja kombinira biološki i elektronički dizajn
07:26
with 3D printing technologies in a workshop;
171
446341
3145
s 3D printanjem u radionici;
07:29
another artist who is using the slime mold
172
449486
2134
još jedan umjetnik koji koristi sluzavu plijesan
07:31
as a way of engaging a community
173
451620
2100
kako bi pokrenuo zajednicu
07:33
to map their area.
174
453720
3004
da mapira svoje područje.
07:36
Here, the slime mold is being used directly
175
456724
2162
Ovdje se sluzava plijesan izravno koristi
07:38
as a biological tool, but metaphorically
176
458886
2878
kao biološko oruđe, ali metaforički
07:41
as a symbol for ways of talking
177
461764
1984
kao simbol načina govorenja
07:43
about social cohesion, communication
178
463748
3854
o socijalnoj koheziji, komunikaciji
07:47
and cooperation.
179
467602
1864
i suradnji.
07:49
Other public engagement activities,
180
469466
2510
Postoje i druge aktivnosti.
07:51
I run lots of slime mold workshops,
181
471976
2018
Vodim mnogo radionica o sluzavoj plijesni,
07:53
a creative way of engaging with the organism.
182
473994
2462
kreativan način druženja s organizmom.
07:56
So people are invited to come and learn
183
476456
1684
Pozivamo ljude da dođu i nauče
07:58
about what amazing things it can do,
184
478140
1896
koje odlične stvari ona može učiniti,
08:00
and they design their own petri dish experiment,
185
480036
2646
i da osmisle svoj pokus u petrijevoj zdjelici,
08:02
an environment for the slime mold to navigate
186
482682
2316
u okolišu u kojem će sluzava plijesan navigirati
08:04
so they can test its properties.
187
484998
1638
i u kojem će moći testirati njezina svojstva.
08:06
Everybody takes home a new pet
188
486636
2444
Svi nose kući novog ljubimca
08:09
and is invited to post their results
189
489080
2940
i pozvani su da objave svoje rezultate
08:12
on the Slime Mould Collective.
190
492020
2418
na Slime Mould Collective.
08:14
And the collective has enabled me
191
494438
1448
A ta mi je zajednica omogućila
08:15
to form collaborations
192
495886
2362
da stvorim suradnju
08:18
with a whole array of interesting people.
193
498248
2593
s cijelim spektrom zanimljivih ljudi.
08:20
I've been working with filmmakers
194
500841
1593
Radila sam s filmašima
08:22
on a feature-length slime mold documentary,
195
502434
3466
na cjelovečernjem dokumentarcu o sluzavoj plijesni
08:25
and I stress feature-length,
196
505900
2658
naglašavam cjelovečernjem,
08:28
which is in the final stages of edit
197
508558
1709
i u posljednjim je fazama uređivanja
08:30
and will be hitting your cinema screens very soon.
198
510267
3026
i stiže u kina ubrzo.
08:33
(Laughter)
199
513293
1480
(Smijeh)
08:34
It's also enabled me to conduct what I think is
200
514773
3335
Omogućilo mi je i da provedem, prema mojoj spoznaji,
08:38
the world's first human slime mold experiment.
201
518108
2873
prvo istraživanje s čovjekom i sluzavom plijesni.
08:40
This is part of an exhibition in Rotterdam last year.
202
520981
2972
Ovo je dio izložbe u Rotterdamu prošle godine.
08:43
We invited people to become slime mold for half an hour.
203
523953
4691
Pozvali smo ljude da postanu sluzava plijesan na pola sata.
08:48
So we essentially tied people together
204
528644
3341
Zavezali smo ljude jedne za druge
08:51
so they were a giant cell,
205
531985
2324
tako da su bili jedna velika stanica
08:54
and invited them to follow slime mold rules.
206
534309
2844
i pozvali smo ih da slijede pravila sluzave plijesni.
08:57
You have to communicate through oscillations,
207
537153
3431
Morate komunicirati oscilacijama,
09:00
no speaking.
208
540584
1296
bez govora.
09:01
You have to operate as one entity, one mass cell,
209
541880
4933
Morate djelovati kao jedno biće, jedna stanica,
09:06
no egos,
210
546813
1584
nema ega,
09:08
and the motivation for moving
211
548397
2585
a motivacija za pokretanje
09:10
and then exploring the environment
212
550982
1908
i istraživanje okoline
09:12
is in search of food.
213
552890
1899
je potraga za hranom.
09:14
So a chaotic shuffle ensued as this bunch of strangers
214
554789
3631
Uslijedilo je kaotično preturanje, kako je ova skupina stranaca,
09:18
tied together with yellow ropes wearing "Being Slime Mold" t-shirts
215
558420
3908
povezanih žutim konopcima i u majicama s natpisom "Biti sluzava plijesan",
09:22
wandered through the museum park.
216
562328
2956
tumarala muzejskim parkom.
09:25
When they met trees, they had to reshape
217
565284
3326
Kad su došli do drveća, morali su promijeniti
09:28
their connections and reform as a mass cell
218
568610
3132
svoje poveznice i promijeniti se kao velika stanica
09:31
through not speaking.
219
571742
3987
bez govorenja.
09:35
This is a ludicrous experiment in many, many ways.
220
575729
3358
Ovo je lud pokus na toliko, toliko načina.
09:39
This isn't hypothesis-driven.
221
579087
1949
Ovo nije vođeno hipotezom.
09:41
We're not trying to prove, demonstrate anything.
222
581036
2443
Nismo pokušali dokazati ni pokazati ništa.
09:43
But what it did provide us was a way
223
583479
2134
Ali ono nam je pružilo način
09:45
of engaging a broad section of the public
224
585613
2348
aktiviranja velikog dijela javnosti
09:47
with ideas of intelligence, agency, autonomy,
225
587961
4431
u razmišljanje o inteligenciji, djelatnosti, autonomiji,
09:52
and provide a playful platform
226
592392
2329
i dalo nam je zaigranu platformu
09:54
for discussions about
227
594721
3732
za raspravu o
09:58
the things that ensued.
228
598453
2384
stvarima koje su slijedile.
10:00
One of the most exciting things
229
600837
2333
Jedna od najuzbudljivijih stvari
10:03
about this experiment
230
603170
2860
kod ovog pokusa
10:06
was the conversation that happened afterwards.
231
606030
2187
bio je razgovor koji je uslijedio.
10:08
An entirely spontaneous symposium happened in the park.
232
608217
3823
Potpuno se spontan simpozij dogodio u parku.
10:12
People talked about the human psychology,
233
612040
2029
Ljudi su govorili o ljudskoj psihologiji,
10:14
of how difficult it was to let go
234
614069
1657
o tome kako je teško pustiti nešto,
10:15
of their individual personalities and egos.
235
615726
3309
o njihovim osobnostima i egu.
10:19
Other people talked about bacterial communication.
236
619035
3183
Drugi su ljudi govorili o komuniciranju bakterija.
10:22
Each person brought in their own
237
622218
1979
Svaka je osoba dala
10:24
individual interpretation,
238
624197
2857
svoju interpretaciju,
10:27
and our conclusion from this experiment was that
239
627054
1905
a naš je zaključak ovog pokusa bio
10:28
the people of Rotterdam were highly cooperative,
240
628959
3906
da su ljudi u Rotterdamu vrlo kooperativni,
10:32
especially when given beer.
241
632865
2796
posebno kad im se da pivo.
10:35
We didn't just give them oats.
242
635661
1966
Nismo im samo dali zob.
10:37
We gave them beer as well.
243
637627
1562
Dali smo im i pivo.
10:39
But they weren't as efficient as the slime mold,
244
639189
2194
Ali nisu bili učinkoviti kao sluzava plijesan,
10:41
and the slime mold, for me,
245
641383
1984
a sluzava je plijesan, za mene,
10:43
is a fascinating subject matter.
246
643367
2369
fascinantna tema.
10:45
It's biologically fascinating,
247
645736
1857
Biološki je fascinantna,
10:47
it's computationally interesting,
248
647593
1584
računalno je zanimljiva,
10:49
but it's also a symbol,
249
649177
2074
ali je i simbol,
10:51
a way of engaging with ideas of community,
250
651251
3658
način angažiranja zajednice u pojedinim temama,
10:54
collective behavior, cooperation.
251
654909
3654
kolektivnom ponašanju, suradnji.
10:58
A lot of my work draws on the scientific research,
252
658563
2126
Velik se dio mog rada temelji na znanstvenim istraživanjima,
11:00
so this pays homage to the maze experiment
253
660689
3184
tako da je ovo u čast pokusa s labirintom,
11:03
but in a different way.
254
663873
1582
ali na drugačiji način.
11:05
And the slime mold is also my working material.
255
665455
2358
Sluzava je plijesan i moj radni materijal.
11:07
It's a coproducer of photographs, prints, animations,
256
667813
5217
Ona je koproducent fotografija, ispisa, animacija,
11:13
participatory events.
257
673030
1599
događanja.
11:14
Whilst the slime mold doesn't choose
258
674629
2348
I dok sluzava plijesan baš i ne bira
11:16
to work with me, exactly,
259
676977
1906
raditi sa mnom.
11:18
it is a collaboration of sorts.
260
678883
2602
Ipak se radi o vidu suradnje.
11:21
I can predict certain behaviors
261
681485
2092
Mogu predvidjeti pojedina ponašanja
11:23
by understanding how it operates,
262
683577
2056
kako bih razumjela kako djeluje,
11:25
but I can't control it.
263
685633
1730
ali ju ne mogu kontrolirati.
11:27
The slime mold has the final say
264
687363
1584
Plijesan ima zadnju riječ
11:28
in the creative process.
265
688947
2131
u kreativnom procesu.
11:31
And after all, it has its own internal aesthetics.
266
691078
3489
Na kraju, ima svoju unutarnju estetiku.
11:34
These branching patterns that we see
267
694567
1804
Ovi šireći obrasci koje vidimo
11:36
we see across all forms, scales of nature,
268
696371
2550
vidimo ih u svim oblicima, slojevima prirode,
11:38
from river deltas to lightning strikes,
269
698921
2800
od riječnih ušća do udara munje,
11:41
from our own blood vessels to neural networks.
270
701721
4036
od krvih žila do neuralnih mreža.
11:45
There's clearly significant rules at play
271
705757
2463
Zasigurno postoje značajna pravila
11:48
in this simple yet complex organism,
272
708220
2265
u ovom jednostavnom, a opet složenom organizmu,
11:50
and no matter what our disciplinary perspective or our mode of inquiry,
273
710485
3792
i bez obzira na našu disciplinu, perspektivu ili način ispitivanja,
11:54
there's a great deal that we can learn
274
714277
1783
postoji mnogo toga što možemo naučiti
11:56
from observing and engaging
275
716060
1769
iz promatranja i angažiranja
11:57
with this beautiful, brainless blob.
276
717829
3121
ove lijepe mrlje bez mozga.
12:00
I give you Physarum polycephalum.
277
720950
3215
Predstavljam vam Physarum polycephalum.
12:04
Thank you.
278
724165
1753
Hvala.
