How augmented reality is changing activism | Glenn Cantave

Prevoditelj: Martina Peraic Recezent: Sanda L

My name is Glenn,

Zovem se Glenn,

I'm 25,

25 mi je godina,

and I don't know my real last name.

i ne znam svoje pravo prezime.

It's not uncommon in America.

To nije neuobičajeno u Americi.

Most black people in this country are walking around

Većina crnaca u ovoj zemlji hoda okolo

with a slave owner's last name.

s prezimenom svoga robovlasnika.

Black history has been systemically erased and altered for centuries.

Crnačka povijest sustavno se briše i izmjenjuje već stoljećima.

As I give this talk,

Dok ovdje govorim,

there are more than 700 Confederate monuments standing nationwide.

više od 700 spomenika Konfederaciji stoje podignuti po cijeloj zemlji.

These were erected to honor Confederate soldiers

Podignuti su u čast vojnicima Konfederacije

who fought to maintain slavery --

koji su se borili za održanje ropstva --

mostly in the South --

većinom na Jugu --

from the 1890s to the 1950s,

od 1890-ih do 1950-ih godina,

when Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation were in full effect.

dok su zakoni Jima Crowa o rasnoj podjeli bili na snazi.

To this day, black people are forced to confront monuments of slaveholders

Do danas, crnce se prisiljava da se suoče sa spomenicima robovlasnicima

in our public spaces.

u našim javnim prostorima.

These memorials are a physical representation of a system

Ovi spomenici su materijalna predstava sustava

that is actively working to define whose lives matter

koji aktivno radi na određivanju toga čiji životi su važni

and whose lives do not.

a čiji životi nisu.

If we are going to disrupt the narrative,

Ako želimo svrgnuti taj narativ,

we have to start at the origin.

moramo se vratiti počecima.

Genocide, slavery and patriarchy started in the Americas

Genocid, ropstvo i patrijarhalni sustav stigli su u Amerike

with Christopher Columbus.

s Kristoforom Kolumbom.

Most people in the United States know about his voyage of 1492.

Više ljudi u SAD-u zna za njegovo putovanje 1492. godine.

Fewer people know that an estimated 250,000 indigenous Arawaks were wiped out

Manjem broju ljudi je poznato da je oko 250 000 urođenih Arawaka istrijebljeno

within two years of his arrival.

u roku od 2 godine nakon njegovog dolaska.

A još manjem broju ljudi je poznato

Even fewer people know

that Columbus admitted in a letter written to Doña Juana de la Torre

da je Kolumbo priznao u pismu gospođi Juani de la Torre

that "nine and 10-year-old girls were in high demand,

da su "djevojčice od 9 i 10 godina jako tražene,

and for girls of all ages a good price must be paid."

a za djevojke svih dobi treba dobro platiti."

Yet New York City's Columbus Circle has had him perched 76 feet high

Ipak, njujorški Kolumbov krug uzdiže ga na 23 metra visine

next to Central Park since 1892.

pored Central Parka od 1892. godine.

I started Movers and Shakers,

Pokrenuo sam Movers and Shakers,

a nonprofit,

neprofitnu organizaciju,

to get the statue removed.

kako bismo uklonili taj spomenik.

Movers and Shakers is a group of activists, artists,

Movers and Shakers su skupina aktivista, umjetnika,

educators and engineers focused on using immersive technology

edukatora i inžinjera kojima je cilj koristiti simulacijsku tehnologiju

to highlight the narratives of the oppressed.

kako bismo istaknuli priče potlačenih.

In our campaign to knock Columbus off his pedestal,

U našoj kampanji za rušenje Kolumba sa svog pijedestala,

we engaged in a visually provocative form of activism.

koristili smo vizualno izazovan oblik aktivizma.

We created an augmented reality installation

Stvorili smo instalaciju uvećane stvarnosti

on the true story of Christopher Columbus

koja pokazuje pravu priču o Kristoforu Kolumbu

and used it to host teach-ins in Columbus Circle and Times Square.

i upotrijebili je za edukacije na Kolumbovom krugu i Times Squareu.

Many see the controversy around the statue

Mnogi vide kontroverznost ovog spomenika

as tension between the Italian-American community

kao netrpeljivost između zajednice Italoamerikanaca

and the indigenous community.

i zajednice urođeničkih naroda.

The reality is that most black people are here in this country

Istina je, zapravo, da je većina crnaca dospjela u ovu zemlju

as a result of the atrocities

zbog okrutnosti

that were kicked off by Christopher Columbus.

koje je započeo Kristofor Kolumbo.

So we ended up holding a slave auction in Union Square

Pa smo tako održali aukciju robova na Union Squareu

to tie into the genesis of the transatlantic slave trade.

kako bismo upoznali razvoj transatlantske trgovine robljem.

I ran the New York City Marathon in chains to spread awareness to this issue.

Otrčao sam Njujorški maraton u lancima kako bih podigao svijest o tom problemu.

I was also arrested in Giants Stadium for hosting a slave reenactment

Također sam bio uhićem na stadionu Giantsa jer sam uprizorio roba

at their football team's home opener.

na otvorenju sezone njihovog nogometnog tima.

We gave it everything that we had,

Uložili smo u to sve što smo imali,

but in the end,

ali na kraju,

New York City decided to keep the statue,

grad New York odlučio je ostaviti spomenik,

and New York State unanimously voted to make it a landmark.

a država New York jednoglasno je odlučila proglasiti ga spomenikom posebne važnosti.

The news was devastating,

Ta vijest nas je zaprepastila,

but it opened up another door.

ali je otvorila neka druga vrata.

We realized that with augmented reality

Shvatili smo da pomoću uvećane stvarnosti

you don't need permission from the government

ne trebamo dozvolu od vlade

to put up a monument or to make a statement.

kako bismo postavili spomenik ili iskazali stav.

You can just do it.

Možemo to jednostavno učiniti.

So New York City right now

Grad New York trenutno

currently has more than 150 statues of men and six of women

ima više od 150 spomenika muškarcima i 6 ženama

and currently acknowledges slaveholders in public spaces as well.

i trenutno također njeguje sjećanje na robovlasnike u javnim prostorima.

So we decided, why not just put up a bunch of AR monuments

Pa smo odlučili postaviti gomilu spomenika u uvećanoj stvarnosti

of women and people of color throughout the city?

ženama i nebijelim ljudima po cijelom gradu?

Typically, monuments are created

U pravilu, spomenike se postavlja

to commemorate the achievements of the deceased,

kako bismo njegovali sjećanje na postignuća pokojnika,

but with augmented reality, we can reroute the rules.

ali uz pomoć uvećane stvarnosti možemo zaobići pravila.

We started with sports.

Počeli smo sa sportom.

Colin Kaepernick.

Colin Kaepernick.

He was the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers,

Bio je napadač u početnom postavu San Francisco 49ersa

and he wanted to use his platform

i želio je iskoristiti svoj javni prostor

to highlight the injustice of systemic racism.

kako bi istaknuo nepravdu sustavnog rasizma.

So he consulted a Green Beret on the most respectful way to do this,

Savjetovao se sa članom Zelenih beretki o najplemenitijem načinu da to učini

and he decided to take a knee during the national anthem.

i odlučio je kleknuti tijekom nacionalne himne.

He lost his contract with the 49ers,

Ostao je bez ugovora sa 49ersima,

he was blackballed by every NFL owner,

odbio ga je svaki vlasnik kluba u NFL-u,

he was criticized by millions

kritizirali su ga milijuni ljudi,

and even the president of the United States

a čak i predsjednik SAD-a

decided to insult him.

ga je odlučio uvrijediti.

It may be decades before Colin Kaepernick is adequately respected for his courage,

Mogla bi proći desetljeća prije negoli Colin K. primi dužno štovanje za hrabrost

so our team decided to do this.

pa je naš tim odlučio učiniti ovo.

Now anyone that walks by Trump Tower can see Colin Kaepernick take a knee

Sada svatko tko prođe pored Trump Towera može vidjeti Colina Kaepernicka kako kleči

in augmented reality,

u uvećanoj stvarnosti

and there's nothing they can do about it.

i ne mogu učiniti ništa da to spriječe.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Representation matters.

Zastupanje je važno.

Serena Williams proved to the world

Serena WIlliams dokazala je svijetu

that a black girl from Compton can dominate a sport

da crnkinja iz Comptona može dominirati sportom

that's traditionally played at exclusive country clubs.

koji se tradicionalno igrao po ekskluzivnim ladanjskim klubovima.

Let's celebrate her now.

Odajmo joj počast sada.

Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson.

He broke the color barrier

Slomio je rasnu barijeru

and empowered many black athletes to play in Major League Baseball.

i ohrabrio mnoge crne sportaše da igraju u Major Baseball Ligi.

We're going to take this monument of him and put it in Ebbets Field

Uzet ćemo ovaj njegov spomenik i postaviti ga na Ebbets Field

so that anyone can see him swing for the fences

kako bi ga svatko mogao vidjeti dok šalje lopticu preko ruba stadiona

in Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

na Ebbets Fieldu u Brooklynu.

With augmented reality,

Uvećanom stvarnošću

we have the power to tell stories in public spaces that need to be told.

imamo moć ispričati priče u javnim prostorima koje moraju biti ispričane.

The achievements of people like Frida Kahlo, Audre Lorde,

Postignuća ljudi poput Fride Kahlo, Audre Lorde,

Toussaint Louverture,

Toussainta Louverturea,

Madam C.J. Walker --

gospođe C. J. Walker --

this should be common knowledge.

to bi trebalo postati opća kultura.

Our vision is a "Pokémon Go" for a contextualized history.

Naša vizija je "Pokemon Go" za davanje konteksta našoj povijesti.

Augmented reality can also be used as a tool to support organizations

Uvećanu stvarnost može se koristiti i kao alat za podršku organizacijama

that are fighting against systemic oppression.

koje se bore protiv sustavne potlačenosti.

In 2019 we will release our free smartphone app

2019. godine objavit ćemo besplatnu aplikaciju za mobitele

with augmented reality monuments and content.

sa spomenicima i sadržajima u uvećanoj stvarnosti.

You can take your smartphone and hold it over any one-dollar bill

Možete uzeti svoj mobitel i držati ga nad novčanicom jednog dolara

and see a scene in augmented reality

i vidjeti prizor u uvećanoj stvarnosti

that illustrates the injustice of cash bail.

koji oslikava nepravdu sustava jamčevine u gotovini.

You can then click on the screen

Onda možete kliknuti na ekran

and be directed to the donation page of The Bail Project,

i biti preusmjereni na web stranicu donacija Projektu jamčevina,

a fund that raises money for people who cannot afford bail.

fondu koji prikuplja novac za ljude koji si ne mogu priuštiti jamčevinu.

With augmented reality,

Uz pomoć uvećane stvarnosti

we the people have the power

mi imamo moć

to highlight the narratives of the oppressed

istaknuti narative potlačenih

when institutions refuse to do so.

kada već institucije to odbijaju.

We can use this tool to highlight the systemic implications

Možemo upotrijebiti taj alat da naglasimo sustavne implikacije

of erasing someone's history.

brisanja nečije povijesti.

And more concretely,

Još konkretnije,

we can use this technology as a way to support initiatives

možemo upotrijebiti ovu tehnologiju na način da podržimo inicijative

that are fighting against systemic racism.

koje se bore protiv sustavnog rasizma.

With AR, we have the power to reimagine a world

Uvećanom stvarnošću imamo moć ponovno osmisliti svijet

that prioritizes justice over oppression.

kojemu je na prvome mjestu pravda, a ne opresija.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause and cheers)
