Lucy McRae: How can technology transform the human body?

Prevoditelj: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

I call myself a body architect.

Sebe nazivam tjelesnom arhitekticom.

I trained in classical ballet

Trenirala sam klasični balet

and have a background in architecture and fashion.

i obrazovala se u arhitekturi i modi.

As a body architect, I fascinate with the human body

Kao tjelesna arhitektica, fascinirana sam ljudskim tijelom

and explore how I can transform it.

i istražujem kako ga mogu transformirati.

I worked at Philips Electronics

Radila sam u Philips Electronics

in the far-future design research lab,

u laboratoriju u kojem se bavimo dizajnom daleke budućnosti,

looking 20 years into the future.

gledajući 20 godina u budućnost.

I explored the human skin, and how technology can transform the body.

Istraživala sam ljudsku kožu, i kako tehnologija može transformirati tijelo.

I worked on concepts like an electronic tattoo,

Radila sam na konceptima poput elektroničke tetovaže,

which is augmented by touch,

koja se proširuje dodirom,

or dresses that blushed and shivered with light.

ili haljina koje bi zarumenile ili zadrhtale pod svjetlom.

I started my own experiments.

Započela sam vlastite eksperimente.

These were the low-tech approaches to the high-tech conversations I was having.

To su bili nisko-tehnološki pristupi, visoko-tehnološkim konverzacijama

koje sam imala.

These are Q-tips stuck to my roommate with wig glue.

Ovo su štapići za uši zaljepljeni za moju cimericu ljepilom za vlasulje.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I started a collaboration with a friend of mine, Bart Hess --

Započela sam kolaboraciju s prijateljicom, Bart Hess --

he doesn't normally look like this --

obično ne izgleda ovako --

and we used ourselves as models.

i sebe smo koristili kao modele.

We transformed our apartments into our laboratories,

Transformirali smo naše stanove u laboratorije,

and worked in a very spontaneous and immediate way.

i radili na jako spontan i neposredan način.

We were creating

Kreirali smo

visual imagery provoking human evolution.

vizualno provokativnu ljudsku evoluciju.

Whilst I was at Philips, we discussed this idea of a maybe technology,

Dok sam bila u Philipsu, raspravljali smo o toj ideji potencijalne tehnologije,

something that wasn't either switched on or off, but in between.

nečega što se ne može niti upaliti niti ugasiti, nečega između.

A maybe that could take the form of a gas or a liquid.

I možda bi to moglo imati formu plina ili tekućine.

And I became obsessed with this idea of blurring the perimeter of the body,

I postala sam opsjednuta s tom idejom mutnog perimetra tijela,

so you couldn't see where the skin ended and the near environment started.

tako da ne možete vidjeti gdje koža završava a gdje njena okolina počinje.

I set up my studio in the red-light district

Postavila sam svoj studio u okrugu crvenih-svjetiljki

and obsessively wrapped myself in plumbing tubing,

i opsesivno se zamotala u vodovodne cijevi,

and found a way to redefine the skin

I pronašla način da redefiniram kožu

and create this dynamic textile.

i stvorim ovaj dinamičan tekstil.

I was introduced to Robyn, the Swedish pop star,

Predstavljena sam Robyn, švedskoj pop zvijezdi,

and she was also exploring

i ona je također istraživala

how technology coexists with raw human emotion.

kako tehnologija koegzistira sa sirovom ljudskom emocijom.

And she talked about how technology with these new feathers,

I ona je pričala o tehnologij s ovim novim perjem,

this new face paint, this punk, the way that we identify with the world,

ovom novom bojom za lice, punkom, načinom na koji se identificiramo sa svijetom

and we made this music video.

i napravile smo ovaj muzički video.

I'm fascinated with the idea

of what happens when you merge biology with technology,

Fascinirana sam s idejom

o tome što se dogodi kada spojite biologiju s tehnologijim,

and I remember reading about this idea of being able to reprogram

i sjećam se kako sam čitala o toj ideji

biloškog reprogramiranja i izbjegavanja bolesti te starenja u budućnosti.

biology, in the future, away from disease and aging.

And I thought about this concept of,

I razmišljala sam o tom konceptu,

imagine if we could reprogram

zamislite da možemo reprogramirati

our own body odor, modify and biologically enhance it,

vlastiti miris, modificiramo ga i biološki poboljšamo,

and how would that change the way that we communicate with each other?

i kako bi to promijenilo način na koji međusobno komuniciramo?

Or the way that we attract sexual partners?

Ili način na koji privlačimo seksualne partnere?

And would we revert back to being more like animals,

Bi li se vratili tome da više nalikujemo životinjama,

more primal modes of communication?

primitivnijim oblicima komunikacije?

I worked with a synthetic biologist,

Radila sam sa sintetičkim biologom

and I created a swallowable perfume,

i stvorila parfem koji se proguta,

which is a cosmetic pill that you eat

koji je kozmetička tableta koju pojedete

and the fragrance comes out through the skin's surface when you perspire.

a miris izlazi preko površine kože kada se znojite.

It completely blows apart the way that perfume is,

To u potpunosti ruši način na koji je parfem zamišljen,

and provides a whole new format.

i osigurava potpuno novi format.

It's perfume coming from the inside out.

To je parfem koji dolazi iznutra.

It redefines the role of skin, and our bodies become an atomizer.

Redefinira ulogu kože, a naša tijela postaju raspršivači.

I've learned that there's no boundaries,

Naučila sam kako ne postoje granice

and if I look at the evolution of my work

i ako sagledam evoluciju svog posla

i can see threads and connections that make sense.

mogu vidjeti niti i veze koje imaju smisla.

But when I look towards the future,

Ali kada gledam prema budućnosti

the next project is completely unknown and wide open.

slijedeći projekt je potpuno nepoznat i širom otvoren.

I feel like I have all these ideas existing embedded inside of me,

Osjećam kako sve te ideje postoje u meni,

and it's these conversations and these experiences

i to su ti razgovori i ta iskustva

that connect these ideas, and they kind of instinctively come out.

koja povezuju te ideje, i one instiktivno izađu.

As a body architect,

Kao arhitektica tijela,

I've created this limitless and boundless platform

kreirala sam ovu neograničenu, bezgraničnu platformu

for me to discover whatever I want.

kako bih otkrila što god poželim.

And I feel like I've just got started.

I osjećam kao da sam tek počela.

So here's to another day at the office.

Dakle, živio još jedan dan u uredu.

(Laughter) (Applause)

(Smijeh) (Pljesak)

Thank you!

Hvala vam!

(Smijeh) (Pljesak)

Thank you!

Hvala vam!
