Shilo Shiv Suleman: Using tech to enable dreaming

Prevoditelj: Senzos Osijek Recezent: Jelena Horvat

My story begins right here actually in Rajasthan

Moja priča započinje zapravo upravo ovdje u Rajasthanu

about two years ago.

prije oko dvije godine.

I was in the desert, under the starry skies

Bila sam u pustinji pod zvjezdanim nebom

with the Sufi singer Mukhtiar Ali.

sa sufijskim pjevačem Mukhtiarom Alijem.

And we were in conversation

Razgovarali smo o tome

about how nothing had changed

kako se ništa nije promijenilo

since the time of the ancient Indian epic "The Mahabharata."

još od drevnih vremena indijskog epa Mahabharata.

So back in the day, when us Indians wanted to travel

U tadašnje vrijeme, kad bismo mi Indijci poželjeli putovati,

we'd jump into a chariot and we'd zoom across the sky.

uskočili bismo u kočiju i projurili nebom.

Now we do the same with airplanes.

Sada činimo to isto avionima.

Back then,

Tada,

when Arjuna, the great Indian warrior prince,

kad je Arjuna, veliki indijski princ ratnik

when he was thirsty, he'd take out a bow,

bio žedan, uzeo bi luk,

he'd shoot it into the ground and water would come out.

odapeo strijelu u tlo i voda bi izašla.

Now we do the same

Danas mi činimo to isto

with drills and machines.

bušilicama i strojevima.

The conclusion that we came to

Zaključak do kojeg smo došli

was that magic had been replaced

bio je da je čaroliju zamijenila

by machinery.

tehnologija.

And this made me really sad.

I to me zaista rastužilo.

I found myself becoming a little bit of a technophobe.

Postala sam pomalo tehnofob.

I was terrified by this idea

Užasnula me pomisao

that I would lose the ability

da ću izgubiti sposobnost

to enjoy and appreciate the sunset

uživati u zalasku sunca

without having my camera on me, without tweeting it to my friends.

ako nemam fotoaparat sa sobom, ako ne „tweetam“ fotografiju svojim prijateljima.

And it felt like technology

Osjećala sam da bi tehnologija

should enable magic, not kill it.

trebala omogućiti čaroliju, a ne ubiti je.

When I was a little girl,

Kad sam bila djevojčica,

my grandfather gave me his little silver pocket watch.

djed mi je dao svoj mali srebrni džepni sat.

And this piece of 50-year-old technology

Ovaj komad 50 godina stare tehnologije

became the most magical thing to me.

postao je za mene najčudesnija stvar.

It became a gilded gateway

Postao je pozlaćena vrata

into a world full of pirates and shipwrecks

u svijet prepun gusara, brodoloma

and images in my imagination.

i slika u mojoj mašti.

So I felt like our cellphones

Zato mi se činilo da su nas naši mobiteli

and our fancy watches and our cameras

i luksuzni satovi i kamere

had stopped us from dreaming.

spriječili da sanjarimo.

They stopped us from being inspired.

Spriječili su da budemo inspirirani.

And so I jumped in, I jumped into this world of technology,

Stoga sam skočila u taj svijet tehnologije

to see how I could use it to enable magic

da bih vidjela kako ju mogu iskoristiti da bih omogućila maštanje,

as opposed to kill it.

a ne da bih ga ubila.

I've been illustrating books since I was 16.

Ilustriram kniige od svoje šesnaeste godine.

And so when I saw the iPad,

Zato, kad sam vidjela iPad,

I saw it as a storytelling device

u njemu sam vidjela uređaj za pričanje priča

that could connect readers all over the world.

koji bi mogao spojiti čitatelje diljem svijeta.

It can know how we're holding it.

Može znati kako ga držimo.

It can know where we are.

Može znati gdje smo.

It brings together image and text

Spaja sliku, tekst,

and animation and sound and touch.

animaciju, zvuk i dodir.

Storytelling is becoming

Pričanje priča postaje

more and more multi-sensorial.

sve više i više multisenzorsko.

But what are we doing with it?

Ali što mi poduzimamo u vezi toga?

So I'm actually just going to go in and launch Khoya,

Sad ću pokrenuti Khoyu,

an interactive app for the iPad.

interaktivnu aplikaciju za iPad.

So it says, "Place your fingers

„Stavi prste

upon each light."

na svako svjetlo”.

And so --

I tako …

(Music)

(glazba)

It says, "This box belongs to ... "

Kaže: „Ova kutija pripada…”

And so I type in my name.

Sad utipkam svoje ime

And actually I become a character in the book.

i zapravo postanem lik u knjizi.

At various points, a little letter drops down to me --

Na raznim mjestima dobijem malo pisamce,

and the iPad knows where you live because of GPS --

a iPad zna gdje živim zbog GPS-a,

which is actually addressed to me.

koji je adresiran na mene.

The child in me is really excited

Dijete u meni je stvarno uzbuđeno

by these kinds of possibilities.

zbog ovakvih mogućnosti.

Now I've been talking a lot about magic.

Često sam spominjala čaroliju.

And I don't mean wizards and dragons,

Nisam pri tome mislila na čarobnjake i zmajeve.

I mean the kind of childhood magic,

Mislila sam na onu dječju čaroliju,

those ideas that we all harbored as children.

one ideje koje smo svi imali kao djeca.

This idea of fireflies in a jar, for some reason,

Ideja krijesnica u staklenci iz nekog mi je razloga

was always really exciting to me.

uvijek bila uzbudljiva.

And so over here you need to tilt your iPad,

Ovdje trebate nagnuti iPad

take the fireflies out.

da bi krijesnice izašle.

And they actually illuminate your way through the rest of the book.

One zapravo osvjetljavaju vaš put sve do kraja knjige.

Another idea that really fascinated me as a child

Još jedna ideja koja me je stvarno fascinirala dok sam bila dijete

was that an entire galaxy could be contained

jest da čitava galaksija može biti sadržana

within a single marble.

u jednoj jedinoj pikuli.

And so over here,

Tako i ovdje

each book and each world

svaka knjiga i svaki svijet

becomes a little marble

postaje malena špekula

that I drag in

koju dovučem

to this magical device within the device.

u ovu čarobnu napravu unutar uređaja.

And it opens up a map.

Tako se otvara karta.

All along, all fantasy books have always had maps,

Oduvijek su sve knjige fantastike imale karte,

but these maps have been static.

ali one su bile statične.

This is a map that grows and glows

Ovo je karta koja raste i svijetli

and becomes your navigation for the rest of the book.

i postane vaša navigacija do kraja knjige.

It reveals itself to you at certain points in the book as well.

Sama vam se otkriva na određenim mjestima.

So I'm just going to enter in.

Upravo ću sada ući.

Another thing that's actually really important to me

Još jedna stvar koja mi je zaista važna

is creating content that is Indian

je kreiranje sadržaja koji je indijski,

and yet very contemporary.

a ipak suvremen.

Over here, these are the Apsaras.

Ovo ovdje su apsare.

So we've all heard about fairies and we've all heard about nymphs,

Svi smo čuli za vile i nimfe,

but how many people outside of India

ali koliko ljudi izvan Indije

know about their Indian counterparts, the Apsaras?

zna za apsare?

These poor Apsaras have been trapped inside Indra's chambers for thousands of years

Ove jadne apsare zatočene su u Indrijevoj odaji tisućama godinama

in an old and musty book.

u jednoj staroj pljesnivoj knjizi.

And so we're bringing them back

Mi smo ih vratili natrag

in a contemporary story for children.

u suvremenu priču za djecu.

And a story that actually deals with new issues

U priču koja se bavi novim stvarima

like the environmental crisis.

kao što su problemi zagađenja okoliša.

(Music)

(glazba)

Speaking of the environmental crisis,

Govoreći o okolišu,

I think a big problem has been in the last 10 years

mislim da je veliki problem taj što su djeca

is that children have been locked inside their rooms,

zadnjih deset godina zaključana u svojim sobama,

glued to their PCs, they haven't been able to get out.

„zalijepljena” za svoja računala i ne izlaze van.

But now with mobile technology,

Sada, s novom mobilnom tehnologijom,

we can actually take our children outside into the natural world

možemo izvesti djecu van u prirodu

with their technology.

s njihovom tehnologijom.

One of the interactions in the book

Jedna od interakcija u knjizi

is that you're sent off on this quest

je da ste poslani na zadatak

where you need to go outside,

koji morate obaviti vani:

take out your camera on the iPad

uzeti fotoaparat na iPadu

and collect pictures of different natural objects.

i skupiti fotografije predmeta iz prirode.

When I was a child, I had multiple collections

Kad sam bila dijete, imala sam mnoge kolekcije

of sticks and stones and pebbles and shells.

naljepnica, kamenčića i školjaka.

And somehow kids don't do that anymore.

Nekako djeca danas to više ne rade.

So in bringing back this childhood ritual,

Zato, da bismo vratili taj stari dječji običaj,

you need to go out

morate izaći van,

and, in one chapter, take a picture of a flower

i u jednom poglavlju fotografirati cvijet

and then tag it.

i označiti ga.

In another chapter, you need to take a picture of a piece of bark

U drugom poglavlju trebate fotografirati koru drveta

and then tag that.

i označiti.

And what happens

Tako zapravo

is that you actually create a digital collection of photographs

stvorite digitalnu kolekciju fotografija

that you can then put up online.

koje možete poslije objaviti na internetu.

A child in London puts up a picture of a fox

Dijete iz Londona stavi fotografiju lisice

and says, "Oh, I saw a fox today."

i kaže: „Vidio sam lisicu danas.”

A child in India says, "I saw a monkey today."

Dijete iz Indije kaže: „Ja sam vidio majmuna danas.”

And it creates this kind of social network

Stvara se društvena mreža

around a collection of digital photographs

oko kolekcije digitalnih fotografija

that you've actually taken.

koje ste vi snimili.

In the possibilities of linking together

Mnoge su mogućnosti u povezivanju

magic, the earth and technology,

čarolije, Zemlje

there are multiple possibilities.

i tehnologije.

In the next book, we plan on having an interaction

U sljedećoj knjizi planiramo napraviti interakciju

where you take your iPad out with the video on

u kojoj uzmete svoj iPad i uključite videokameru

and through augmented reality,

te kroz proširenu stvarnost

you see this layer of animated pixies

vidite sloj animiranih vila

appear on a houseplant that's outside your house.

koje se pojavljuju na sobnoj biljci koja je izvan kuće.

At one point, your screen is filled up with leaves.

U jednome trenutku vaš je ekran prepun lišća.

And so you need to make the sound of wind and blow them away

Tada trebate načiniti zvuk vjetra i otpuhati ih

and read the rest of the book.

i čitati ostatak knjige.

We're moving, we're all moving here,

Krećemo se, svi se krećemo

to a world where the forces of nature

prema svijetu gdje se prirodne sile

come closer together to technology,

zbližavaju s tehnologijom,

and magic and technology can come closer together.

a tehnologija s čarolijom.

We're harnessing energy from the sun.

Iskorištavamo Sunčevu energiju.

We're bringing our children and ourselves

Svoju djecu i sebe

closer to the natural world

približavamo prirodnome svijetu

and that magic and joy

i toj čaroliji i radosti

and childhood love that we had

i djetinjoj ljubavi koje smo dobili

through the simple medium of a story.

kroz jednostavan medij – priču.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)
