ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ื—ื™ื™ื ื•ืขื•ื‘ื“ื™ื ื‘ื”ื•ื“ื•.
00:26
I'd like to begin with my very first object,

ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืขื ื”ืื•ื‘ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ ืฉืœื™,

which I call "The Uncle Phone."

2000
ืฉื ืงืจื "ื˜ืœืคื•ืŸ ื”ื“ื•ื“."
00:31
And it was inspired by my uncle's peculiar habit

3000
ื•ื”ื”ืฉืจืื” ืœื• ื‘ืื” ืžื”ื”ืจื’ืœ ื”ืžื•ื–ืจ ืฉืœ ื“ื•ื“ื™
00:34
of constantly asking me to do things for him,

2000
ืœื‘ืงืฉ ืžืžื ื™ ืœืœื ื”ืคืกืงื” ืœืขืฉื•ืช ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื•,
00:36
almost like I were an extension of his body --

36260
2000
ื›ืžืขื˜ ื›ืื™ืœื• ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื”ืžืฉืš ืฉืœ ื”ื’ื•ืฃ ืฉืœื• --
00:38
to turn on the lights or to bring him a glass of water,
10
38260
2000
ืœื”ื“ืœื™ืง ืืช ื”ืื•ืจื•ืช ืื• ืœื”ื‘ื™ื ืœื• ื›ื•ืก ืžื™ื,
00:40
a pack of cigarettes.
11
40260
2000
ืงื•ืคืกืช ืกื™ื’ืจื™ื•ืช.
00:42
And as I grew up, it became worse and worse,
12
42260
2000
ื•ื›ื›ืœ ืฉื’ื“ืœืชื™, ื–ื” ื ืขืฉื” ื’ืจื•ืข ื™ื•ืชืจ ื•ื™ื•ืชืจ,
00:44
And I started to think of it as a form of control.
13
44260
2000
ื•ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืขืœ ื–ื” ื›ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืฉืœื™ื˜ื”.
00:46
But of course, I could never say anything,
14
46260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ, ืœื ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœืขื•ืœื ืœื”ื’ื™ื“ ืžืฉื”ื•,
00:48
because the uncle is a respected figure
15
48260
2000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉื”ื“ื•ื“ ื”ื•ื ื“ืžื•ืช ืžื›ื•ื‘ื“ืช
00:50
in the Indian family.
16
50260
2000
ื‘ืžืฉืคื—ื” ื”ื”ื•ื“ื™ืช.
00:52
And the situation that irked me and mystified me the most
17
52260
3000
ื•ื”ืžืฆื‘ ืฉืขืฆื‘ืŸ ืื•ืชื™ ื•ื”ืคืœื™ื ืื•ืชื™ ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžื›ืœ
00:55
was his use of a landline telephone.
18
55260
2000
ื”ื™ื” ื”ืฉื™ืžื•ืฉ ืฉืœื• ื‘ื˜ืœืคื•ืŸ ืงื•ื•ื™.
00:57
He would hold on to the receiver and expect me to dial a number for him.
19
57260
3000
ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืžื—ื–ื™ืง ืืช ื”ืฉืคื•ืคืจืช ื•ืžืฆืคื” ืžืžื ื™ ืœื—ื™ื™ื’ ืืช ื”ืžืกืคืจ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื•.
01:00
And so as a response and as a gift to my uncle,
20
60260
3000
ืื– ื›ืชื’ื•ื‘ื” ื•ื›ืžืชื ื” ืœื“ื•ื“ื™,
01:03
I made him "The Uncle Phone."
21
63260
2000
ื™ืฆืจืชื™ ืœื• ืืช "ื˜ืœืคื•ืŸ ื”ื“ื•ื“."
01:05
It's so long that it requires two people to use it.
22
65260
3000
ื”ื•ื ื›ืœ ื›ืš ืืจื•ืš ืฉื”ื•ื ื“ื•ืจืฉ ืฉื ื™ ืื ืฉื™ื ืœืฉื™ืžื•ืฉ.
01:08
It's exactly the way my uncle uses a phone that's designed for one person.
23
68260
4000
ื–ื• ื‘ื“ื™ื•ืง ื”ื“ืจืš ื‘ื” ื“ื•ื“ื™ ืžืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื˜ืœืคื•ืŸ ืฉืขื•ืฆื‘ ืœืื“ื ืื—ื“.
01:12
But the problem is that, when I left home and went to college,
24
72260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ื”ื™ื, ืฉื›ืฉืขื–ื‘ืชื™ ืืช ื”ื‘ื™ืช ื•ื”ืœื›ืชื™ ืœืžื›ืœืœื”,
01:15
I started missing his commands.
25
75260
2000
ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœื”ืชื’ืขื’ืข ืœืคืงื•ื“ื•ืช ืฉืœื•.
01:17
And so I made him a golden typewriter
26
77260
2000
ืื– ื™ืฆืจืชื™ ืœื• ืžื›ื•ื ืช ื›ืชื™ื‘ื” ืžื•ื–ื”ื‘ืช
01:19
through which he could dispense his commands
27
79260
2000
ื“ืจื›ื” ื”ื•ื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื—ืœืง ืืช ืคืงื•ื“ื•ืชื™ื•
01:21
to nephews and nieces around the world as an email.
28
81260
3000
ืœืื—ื™ื™ื ื™ื ื•ืื—ื™ื™ื ื™ื•ืช ืžืกื‘ื™ื‘ ืœืขื•ืœื ื›ืื™ืžื™ื™ืœ.
01:24
So what he had to do was take a piece of paper, roll it into the carriage,
29
84260
3000
ืื– ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืฆืจื™ืš ืœืขืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื” ืœืงื—ืช ืคื™ืกืช ื ื™ื™ืจ, ืœื’ืœื’ืœ ืื•ืชื” ืœืชื•ืš ื”ืžื›ื•ื ื”,
01:27
type his email or command and pull the paper out.
30
87260
3000
ืœื”ื“ืคื™ืก ืืช ื”ืื™ืžื™ื™ืœ ืื• ื”ืคืงื•ื“ื” ื•ืœืžืฉื•ืš ืืช ื”ื ื™ื™ืจ ื”ื—ื•ืฆื”.
01:30
This device would automatically send the intended person
31
90260
3000
ื”ืžื›ืฉื™ืจ ื”ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืื•ื˜ื•ืžื˜ื™ืช ืฉื•ืœื— ืœืื“ื ื”ืžื™ื•ืขื“
01:33
the letter as an email.
32
93260
2000
ืืช ื”ืžื›ืชื‘ ื›ืื™ืžื™ื™ืœ.
01:35
So here you can see, we embedded a lot of electronics
33
95260
3000
ืื– ื›ืืŸ ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืจืื•ืช, ืื ื—ื ื• ื”ื˜ืžืขื ื• ื”ืจื‘ื” ืืœืงื˜ืจื•ื ื™ืงื”
01:38
that understands all of the mechanical actions
34
98260
2000
ืฉืžื‘ื™ื ื” ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืคืขื•ืœื•ืช ื”ืžื›ืื ื™ื•ืช
01:40
and converts it to digital.
35
100260
2000
ื•ืžืžื™ืจื” ืื•ืชืŸ ืœื“ื™ื’ื™ื˜ืœื™ื•ืช.
01:42
So my uncle is only dealing with a mechanical interface.
36
102260
3000
ืื– ื“ื•ื“ื™ ืžืชืขืกืง ืจืง ืขื ืžืžืฉืง ืžื›ืื ื™.
01:45
And of course, the object had to be very grand and have a sense of ritualism,
37
105260
3000
ื•ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ, ื”ืื•ื‘ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื”ื™ื” ืฆืจื™ืš ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืžืื•ื“ ื’ื“ื•ืœ ื•ืฉืชื”ื™ื” ื‘ื• ืชื—ื•ืฉืช ื˜ืงืกื™ื•ืช,
01:48
the way my uncle likes it.
38
108260
2000
ื”ื“ืจืš ื‘ื” ื“ื•ื“ื™ ืื•ื”ื‘ ืืช ื–ื”.
01:50
The next work is a sound-sensitive installation
39
110260
3000
ื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ื”ื‘ืื” ื”ื™ื ื”ืชืงื ื” ืจื’ื™ืฉื” ืœืงื•ืœ
01:53
that we affectionately call "The Pygmies."
40
113260
3000
ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืงื•ืจืื™ื ืœื” ื‘ื—ื™ื‘ื” "ื”ืคื™ื’ืžื™ื". ("ื”ื’ืžื“ื™ื")
01:56
And we wanted to work with a notion of being
41
116260
2000
ื•ืจืฆื™ื ื• ืœืขื‘ื•ื“ ืขื ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช
01:58
surrounded by a tribe of very shy, sensitive and sweet creatures.
42
118260
4000
ืžื•ืงืคื™ื ื‘ืฉื‘ื˜ ืฉืœ ื™ืฆื•ืจื™ื ืžืื•ื“ ื‘ื™ื™ืฉื ื™ื, ืจื’ื™ืฉื™ื ื•ืžืชื•ืงื™ื.
02:02
So how it works is we have these panels, which we have on the wall,
43
122260
3000
ืื– ืื™ืš ืฉื–ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“ ื–ื” ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืืช ื”ืคืื ืœื™ื ื”ืืœื•, ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืขืœ ื”ืงื™ืจ,
02:05
and behind them, we have these little creatures which hide.
44
125260
3000
ื•ืžืื—ื•ืจื™ื”ื, ื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืืช ื”ื™ืฆื•ืจื™ื ื”ืงื˜ื ื™ื ื”ืืœื• ืฉืžืชื—ื‘ืื™ื.
02:08
And as soon as it's silent, they sort of creep out.
45
128260
3000
ื‘ืจื’ืข ืฉื™ืฉ ืฉืงื˜, ื”ื ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ื–ื•ื—ืœื™ื ื”ื—ื•ืฆื”.
02:11
And if it's even more silent, they stretch their necks out.
46
131260
2000
ื•ืื ื–ื” ืืคื™ืœื• ื™ื•ืชืจ ืฉืงื˜, ื”ื ืžื•ืชื—ื™ื ืืช ืฆื•ื•ืืจื™ื”ื ื”ื—ื•ืฆื”.
02:13
And at the slightest sound, they hide back again.
47
133260
3000
ื•ืœืฉืžืข ื”ืงื•ืœ ื”ื›ื™ ืงื˜ืŸ, ื”ื ืžืชื—ื‘ืื™ื ืฉื•ื‘.
02:16
So we had these panels on three walls of a room.
48
136260
3000
ืื– ื”ื™ื• ืœื ื• ืืช ื”ืคืื ืœื™ื ื”ืืœื• ืขืœ ืฉืœื•ืฉื” ืงื™ืจื•ืช ื‘ื—ื“ืจ.
02:19
And we had over 500 of these little pygmies hiding behind them.
49
139260
3000
ื•ื”ื™ื• ืœื ื• ื™ื•ืชืจ ืž 500 ืžื”ืคื™ื’ืžื™ื ื”ืงื˜ื ื™ื ื”ืืœื• ืฉืžืชื—ื‘ืื™ื ืžืื—ื•ืจื™ื”ื.
02:22
So this is how it works.
50
142260
2000
ืื– ื›ื›ื” ื–ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“.
02:24
This is a video prototype.
51
144260
2000
ื–ื” ืกืจื˜ ืฉืœ ืื‘ ื”ื˜ื™ืคื•ืก.
02:26
So when it's quiet, it's sort of coming out from behind the panels.
52
146260
3000
ืื– ื›ืฉืฉืงื˜, ื”ื ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ื™ื•ืฆืื™ื ืžืื—ื•ืจื™ ื”ืคืื ืœื™ื.
02:29
And they hear like humans do, or real creatures do.
53
149260
2000
ื•ื”ื ืฉื•ืžืขื™ื ื›ืžื• ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ืฉื•ืžืขื™ื, ืื• ื›ืžื• ื™ืฆื•ืจื™ื ืืžื™ืชื™ื™ื.
02:31
So they get immune to sounds that scare them after awhile.
54
151260
3000
ืื– ื”ื ื ื”ื™ื™ื ื—ืกื™ื ื™ื ืœืงื•ืœื•ืช ืฉืžืคื—ื™ื“ื™ื ืื•ืชื ืœืื—ืจ ื–ืžืŸ ืžืกื•ื™ื.
02:34
And they don't react to background sounds.
55
154260
3000
ื•ื”ื ืœื ืžื’ื™ื‘ื™ื ืœืงื•ืœื•ืช ืจืงืข.
02:37
You'll hear a train in moment that they don't react to.
56
157260
3000
ืืชื ืชืฉืžืขื• ืจื›ื‘ืช ืขื•ื“ ืจื’ืข ืฉื”ื ืœื ืžื’ื™ื‘ื™ื ืืœื™ื”.
02:40
(Noise)
57
160260
2000
(ืจืขืฉ)
02:42
But they react to foreground sounds. You'll hear that in a second.
58
162260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื ืžื’ื™ื‘ื™ื ืœืงื•ืœื•ืช ื‘ื—ื–ื™ืช, ืชืฉืžืขื• ืืช ื–ื” ืขื•ื“ ืฉื ื™ื”.
02:45
(Whistling)
59
165260
3000
(ืฉืจื™ืงื”)
02:50
So we worked very hard
60
170260
2000
ืื– ืขื‘ื“ื ื• ืžืื•ื“ ืงืฉื”
02:52
to make them as lifelike as possible.
61
172260
3000
ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืื•ืชื ืžืœืื™ ื—ื™ื™ื ื›ื›ืœ ื”ืืคืฉืจ.
02:56
So each pygmy has its own behavior, psyche,
62
176260
2000
ืื– ืœื›ืœ ืคื™ื’ืžื™ ื™ืฉ ืืช ื”ื”ืชื ื”ื’ื•ืช ืฉืœื•, ืคืกื™ื›ื•ืœื•ื’ื™ื”,
02:58
mood swings, personalities and so on.
63
178260
3000
ืžืฆื‘ื™ ืจื•ื—, ืื™ืฉื™ื•ืช ื•ื›ื•'.
03:01
So this is a very early prototype.
64
181260
2000
ืื– ื–ื” ืื‘ ื˜ื™ืคื•ืก ืžืื•ื“ ืจืืฉื•ื ื™.
03:03
Of course, it got much better after that.
65
183260
2000
ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ, ื–ื” ื ืขืฉื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ื˜ื•ื‘ ืœืื—ืจ ืžื›ืŸ.
03:05
And we made them react to people,
66
185260
2000
ื•ื’ืจืžื ื• ืœื”ื ืœื”ื’ื™ื‘ ืœืื ืฉื™ื,
03:07
but we found that people were being quite playful and childlike with them.
67
187260
4000
ืื‘ืœ ื’ื™ืœื™ื ื• ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื”ื™ื• ืžืื•ื“ ืฉื•ื‘ื‘ื™ื ื•ื™ืœื“ื•ืชื™ื™ื ืื™ืชื.
03:11
This is a video installation called "The Missing Person."
68
191260
3000
ื–ื• ื”ืชืงื ืช ื•ื™ื“ืื• ืฉื ืงืจืืช "ื”ืื“ื ื”ื—ืกืจ."
03:14
And we were quite intrigued
69
194260
2000
ื•ื“ื™ ื”ืชืขื ื™ื™ื ื•
03:16
with playing with the notion of invisibility.
70
196260
2000
ื‘ืžืฉื—ืง ืขื ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืจืื•ืช.
03:18
How would it be possible to experience a sense of invisibility?
71
198260
3000
ืื™ืš ื–ื” ื™ื”ื™ื” ืืคืฉืจื™ ืœื—ื•ื•ืช ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ืฉืœ ื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืจืื•ืช?
03:21
So we worked with a company
72
201260
2000
ืื– ืขื‘ื“ื ื• ืขื ื—ื‘ืจื”
03:23
that specializes in camera surveillance,
73
203260
2000
ืฉืžืชืžื—ื” ื‘ืžืขืงื‘ ืขื ืžืฆืœืžื•ืช,
03:25
and we asked them to develop a piece of software with us,
74
205260
3000
ื•ื‘ื™ืงืฉื ื• ืžื”ื ืœืคืชื— ืชื•ื›ื ื” ืื™ืชื ื•,
03:28

that could look at people in the room, track them

and replace one person with the background, rendering them invisible.

So I'm just going to show you a very early prototype.

ืื– ืื ื™ ืจืง ืืจืื” ืœื›ื ืื‘ ื˜ื™ืคื•ืก ืจืืฉื•ื ื™.
03:38
On the right side you can see my colleague Soren,

ืžืฆื“ ื™ืžื™ืŸ ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืจืื•ืช ืืช ืขืžื™ืชื™ ืกื•ืจืŸ,

who's actually in the space.

ืฉื ืžืฆื ืœืžืขืฉื” ื‘ืชื•ืš ื”ื—ืœืœ.
03:42
And on the left side, you'll see the processed video
81
222260
2000
ื•ืžืฉืžืืœ, ืืชื ืจื•ืื™ื ืืช ื”ื•ื™ื“ืื• ื”ืžืขื•ื‘ื“
03:44
where the camera has made him invisible.

3000
ื‘ื• ื”ืžืฆืœืžื” ื”ืคื›ื” ืื•ืชื• ืœื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืจืื”.
03:47
Soren enters the room. Pop! He goes invisible.

3000
ืกื•ืจืŸ ื ื›ื ืก ืœื—ื“ืจ. ืคื•ืค! ื”ื•ื ื”ื•ืคืš ืœื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืจืื”.
03:50
And you can see that the camera is tracking him and erasing.
84
230260
3000
ื•ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืจืื•ืช ืฉื”ืžืฆืœืžื” ืขื•ืงื‘ืช ืื—ืจื™ื• ื•ืžื•ื—ืงืช.
03:53
It's a very early video,
85
233260
2000
ื–ื” ืกืจื˜ื•ืŸ ืžืื•ื“ ืžื•ืงื“ื,
03:55
so we haven't yet dealt with the overlap and all of that,
86
235260
2000
ืื– ืœื ื˜ื™ืคืœื ื• ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ ื‘ื—ืคื™ืคื” ื•ื›ืœ ื–ื”,
03:57
but that got refined pretty soon, later.
87
237260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ื–ื” ื”ืชืขื“ืŸ ื“ื™ ืžื”ืจ, ืžืื•ื—ืจ ื™ื•ืชืจ.
04:00
So how we used it was in a room where we had a camera looking into the space,
88
240260
3000
ืื– ื”ืฆื•ืจื” ืฉื”ืฉืชืžืฉื ื• ื‘ื–ื” ื”ื™ืชื” ื‘ื—ื“ืจ ื‘ื• ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื ื• ืžืฆืœืžื” ืฉืžื‘ื™ื˜ื” ื‘ืžืจื—ื‘,
04:03
and we had one monitor, one on each wall.
89
243260
3000
ื•ื”ื™ื” ืœื ื• ืžืกืš ืื—ื“, ืื—ื“ ืœื›ืœ ืงื™ืจ.
04:06
And as people walked into the room,
90
246260
2000
ื•ื›ืฉื”ืื ืฉื™ื ื ื›ื ืกื• ืœื—ื“ืจ,
04:08
they would see themselves in the monitor, except with one difference:
91
248260
3000
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืจื•ืื™ื ืืช ืขืฆืžื ื‘ืžืกืš, ืจืง ืขื ื”ื‘ื“ืœ ืื—ื“:
04:11
one person was constantly invisible
92
251260
2000
ืื“ื ืื—ื“ ื”ื™ื” ื›ืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืจืื”
04:13
wherever they moved in the room.
93
253260
2000
ื‘ื›ืœ ืžืงื•ื ืฉื”ื ื–ื–ื• ืืœื™ื• ื‘ื—ื“ืจ.
04:15
So this is a work called "The Sun Shadow."
94
255260
2000
ืื– ื–ื• ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ืฉื ืงืจืืช "ืฆืœ ื”ืฉืžืฉ."
04:17
And it was almost like a sheet of paper,
95
257260
3000
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ื›ืžืขื˜ ื›ืžื• ื“ืฃ ื ื™ื™ืจ,
04:20
like a cutout of a childlike drawing
96
260260
2000
ื›ืžื• ื—ื™ืชื•ืš ืฉืœ ืฆื™ื•ืจ ื™ืœื“ื™ื
04:22
of an oil spill or a sun.
97
262260
2000
ืฉืœ ื“ืœื™ืคืช ื ืคื˜ ืื• ืฉืžืฉ.
04:24
And from the front, this object appeared to be very strong and robust,
98
264260
3000
ื•ืžื”ื—ื–ื™ืช, ื”ืื•ื‘ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื ืจืื” ื›ื—ื–ืง ืžืื•ื“ ื•ืขืžื™ื“,
04:27
and from the side, it almost seemed very weak.
99
267260
3000
ื•ืžื”ืฆื“, ื”ื•ื ื›ืžืขื˜ ื ืจืื” ืžืื•ื“ ื—ืœืฉ.
04:30
So people would walking into the room and they'd almost ignore it,
100
270260
3000
ืื– ืื ืฉื™ื ื”ื™ื• ื ื›ื ืกื™ื ืœืชื•ืš ื”ื—ื“ืจ ื•ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ื›ืžืขื˜ ืžืชืขืœืžื™ื ืžื–ื”,
04:33
thinking it was some crap laying around.
101
273260
2000
ื—ื•ืฉื‘ื™ื ืฉื–ื” ืกืชื ื–ื‘ืœ ืฉืฉื•ื›ื‘ ืฉื.
04:35
But as soon as they passed by,
102
275260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ื‘ืจื’ืข ืฉื”ื™ื• ืขื•ื‘ืจื™ื ืืช ื–ื”,
04:37
it would start to climb up the wall in jerky fashion.
103
277260
2000
ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืชื—ื™ืœ ืœื˜ืคืก ืขืœ ื”ืงื™ืจ ื‘ืชื ื•ืขื” ืชื–ื–ื™ืชื™ืช.
04:39
And it would get exhausted, and it would collapse every time.
104
279260
3000
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืชืขื™ื™ืฃ, ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืงื•ืจืก ื›ืœ ืคืขื.
04:42
(Laughter)
105
282260
2000
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
04:44
So this work
106
284260
2000
ืื– ื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ื”ื–ื•
04:46
is a caricature of an upside-down man.
107
286260
2000
ื”ื™ื ืงืจื™ืงื˜ื•ืจื” ืฉืœ ืื™ืฉ ื”ืคื•ืš.
04:48
His head is so heavy, full of heavy thoughts,
108
288260
2000
ื”ืจืืฉ ืฉืœื• ื›ืœ ื›ืš ื›ื‘ื“. ืžืœื ื‘ืžื—ืฉื‘ื•ืช ื›ื‘ื“ื•ืช,
04:50
that it's sort of fallen into his hat,
109
290260
2000
ืฉื”ื•ื ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ื ื•ืคืœ ืœืชื•ืš ื”ื›ื•ื‘ืข ืฉืœื•,
04:52
and his body's grown out of him almost like a plant.
110
292260
2000
ื•ื”ื’ื•ืฃ ืฉืœื• ื’ื•ื“ืœ ืžืชื•ื›ื• ื›ืžืขื˜ ื›ืžื• ืฆืžื—.
04:54
Well what he does is he moves around
111
294260
2000
ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ืขื•ืฉื” ื–ื” ืœื–ื•ื– ื‘ืื–ื•ืจ
04:56
in a very drunken fashion on his head
112
296260
2000
ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ืžืื•ื“ ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจื” ืขืœ ืจืืฉื•
04:58
in a very unpredictable and extremely slow movement.
113
298260
3000
ื‘ืชื ื•ืขื” ืžืื•ื“ ืœื ืฆืคื•ื™ื” ื•ืื™ื˜ื™ืช ืžืื•ื“.
05:01
And it's kind of constrained by that circle.
114
301260
3000
ื•ื”ื•ื ื“ื™ ืžื•ื’ื‘ืœ ืขืœ ื™ื“ื™ ื”ืขื™ื’ื•ืœ ื”ื”ื•ื.
05:04
Because if that circle weren't there, and the floor was very even,
115
304260
3000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื”ืขื™ื’ื•ืœ ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืฉื, ื•ื”ืจืฆืคื” ื”ื™ืชื” ืžืžืฉ ื™ืฉืจื”,
05:07
it would start to wander about in the space.
116
307260
2000
ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืžืชื—ื™ืœ ืœื”ืกืชื•ื‘ื‘ ื‘ืžืจื—ื‘.
05:09
And there's no wires.
117
309260
2000
ื•ืื™ืŸ ื—ื•ื˜ื™ื.
05:11
So I'll just show you an instance --
118
311260
2000
ืื– ืื ื™ ืจืง ืืจืื” ืœื›ื ืžืงืจื” --
05:13
so when people enter the room, it activates this object.
119
313260
2000
ืื– ื›ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื ื›ื ืกื™ื ืœื—ื“ืจ, ื–ื” ืžืคืขื™ืœ ืืช ื”ืื•ื‘ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื”ื–ื”.
05:15
And it very slowly, over a few minutes,
120
315260
2000
ื•ื”ื•ื ืžืื•ื“ ืื™ื˜ื™, ื‘ืžืฉืš ื›ืžื” ื“ืงื•ืช,
05:17
sort of painfully goes up,
121
317260
2000
ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืžืชืจื•ืžื ื‘ืื™ื˜ื™ื•ืช,
05:19
and then it gains momentum
122
319260
2000
ื•ืื– ื”ื•ื ืžืงื‘ืœ ืชื ื•ืคื”
05:21
and it looks like it's almost about to fall.
123
321260
2000
ื•ื”ื•ื ื ืจืื” ื›ืื™ืœื• ื”ื•ื ื›ืžืขื˜ ื ื•ืคืœ.
05:23
And this is an important moment,
124
323260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ืจื’ืข ื—ืฉื•ื‘,
05:25
because we wanted to instill in the viewer
125
325260
2000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืจืฆื™ื ื• ืœื’ืจื•ื ืœืฆื•ืคื”
05:27
an instinct to almost go and help, or save the subject.
126
327260
2000
ืื™ื ืกื˜ื™ื ืงื˜ ื›ืžืขื˜ ืœืœื›ืช ื•ืœืขื–ื•ืจ, ืื• ืœื”ืฆื™ืœ ืืช ื”ืื•ื‘ื™ื™ืงื˜.
05:29
But it doesn't really need it,
127
329260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื•ื ืœื ื‘ืืžืช ืฆืจื™ืš ืืช ื–ื”,
05:31
because it, again, sort of manages to pull itself up.
128
331260
3000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉื”ื•ื, ืฉื•ื‘, ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืžืฆืœื™ื— ืœื”ืจื™ื ืืช ืขืฆืžื•.
05:34
So this work was a real technical challenge for us,
129
334260
3000
ืื– ื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ื”ื–ื• ื”ื™ืชื” ืืชื’ืจ ื˜ื›ื ื™ ืืžื™ืชื™ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื ื•,
05:37
and we worked very hard, like most of our works, over years
130
337260
3000
ื•ืขื‘ื“ื ื• ืžืื•ื“ ืงืฉื”, ื›ืžื• ืจื•ื‘ ื”ืขื‘ื•ื“ื•ืช ืฉืœื ื•, ื‘ืžืฉืš ืฉื ื™ื
05:40
to get the mechanics right and the equilibrium and the dynamics.
131
340260
3000
ื›ื“ื™ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืืช ื”ืžื›ื ื™ืงื” ื ื›ื•ืŸ ื•ืืช ืฉื™ื•ื•ื™ ื”ืžืฉืงืœ ื•ื”ื“ื™ื ืžื™ืงื”.
05:43
And it was very important for us
132
343260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืื•ื“ ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืœื ื•
05:45
to establish the exact moment that it would fall,
133
345260
3000
ืœืžืฆื•ื ืืช ื”ืจื’ืข ื”ืžื“ื•ื™ืง ื‘ื• ื–ื” ื™ื™ืคื•ืœ,
05:48
because if we made it in a way that it would topple over,
134
348260
3000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื”ื™ื™ื ื• ืขื•ืฉื™ื ืื•ืชื• ื‘ื“ืจืš ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ื™ืคื•ืœ,
05:51
then it would damage itself,
135
351260
2000
ืื– ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืคื•ื’ืข ื‘ืขืฆืžื•,
05:53
and if it didn't fall enough, it wouldn't instill that fatalism,
136
353260
3000
ื•ืื ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื™ื” ื ื•ืคืœ ืžืกืคื™ืง, ื”ื•ื ืœื ื”ื™ื” ื’ื•ืจื ืœืคื˜ืœื™ื–ื ื”ื–ื”,
05:56
or that sense of wanting to go and help it.
137
356260
2000
ืื• ืืช ื”ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ื”ื”ื™ื ืฉืœ ืจืฆื•ืŸ ืœืœื›ืช ื•ืœืขื–ื•ืจ ืœื•.
05:58
So I'm going to show you a very quick video
138
358260
2000
ืื– ืื ื™ ืขื•ืžื“ืช ืœื”ืจืื•ืช ืœื›ื ืกืจื˜ื•ืŸ ื–ืจื™ื–
06:00
where we are doing a test scenario -- it's much faster.
139
360260
2000
ื‘ื• ืื ื—ื ื• ืขื•ืฉื™ื ื‘ื“ื™ืงื•ืช -- ื–ื” ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžื”ืจ.
06:02
That's my colleague. He's let it go.
140
362260
2000
ื–ื” ื”ืงื•ืœื’ื” ืฉืœื™. ื”ื•ื ืขื–ื‘ ืืช ื–ื”.
06:04
Now he's getting nervous, so he's going to go catch it.
141
364260
2000
ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ื”ื•ื ื ืœื—ืฅ, ืื– ื”ื•ื ืขื•ืžื“ ืœืชืคื•ืก ืื•ืชื•.
06:06
But he doesn't need to,
142
366260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื•ื ืœื ืฆืจื™ืš,
06:08
because it manages to lift itself up on its own.
143
368260
2000
ืžืคื ื™ ืฉื”ื•ื ืžืฆืœื™ื— ืœื”ืจื™ื ืืช ืขืฆืžื• ื‘ืขืฆืžื•.
06:10
So this is a work that we were very intrigued with,
144
370260
3000
ืื– ื–ื• ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ืฉืžืื•ื“ ืขื ื™ื™ื ื” ืื•ืชื ื•,
06:13
working with the aesthetic of fur

373260
2000
ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ืขื ื”ืืกื˜ื˜ื™ืงื” ืฉืœ ื”ืคืจื•ื•ื”
06:15
embedded with thousands of tiny different sizes
146
375260
3000
ืฉืžื•ื˜ืžืขื™ื ื‘ื” ืืœืคื™ ืžื™ื“ื•ืช ืงื˜ื ื•ืช ืฉื•ื ื•ืช
06:18
of fiber optics, which twinkle like the night sky.
147
378260
3000
ืฉืœ ืกื™ื‘ื™ื ืื•ืคื˜ื™ื™ื, ืฉืžื ืฆื ืฆื™ื ื›ืžื• ืฉืžื™ ื”ืœื™ืœื”.
06:21
And it's at the scale of the night sky.
148
381260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ืงื ื” ื”ืžื™ื“ื” ืฉืœ ืฉืžื™ ื”ืœื™ืœื”.
06:23
So we wrapped this around a blob-like form,
149
383260
2000
ืื– ืขื˜ืคื ื• ืขื ื–ื” ืฆื•ืจื” ื‘ืœื•ื ื™ืช,
06:25
which is in the shape of a teddy bear,
150
385260
2000
ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ืฉืœ ื“ื•ื‘ื™,
06:27
which was hanging from the ceiling.
151
387260
2000
ืฉื ืชืœื” ืžื”ืชืงืจื”.
06:29
And the idea was to sort of contrast
152
389260
2000
ื•ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ื”ื™ื” ืœืชืช ืžืขื™ืŸ ื ื™ื’ื•ื“
06:31
something very cold and distant and abstract like the universe
153
391260
3000
ืžืฉื”ื• ืžืื•ื“ ืงืจ ื•ืžืจื•ื—ืง ื•ืžื•ืคืฉื˜ ื›ืžื• ื”ื™ืงื•ื
06:34
into the familiar form of a teddy bear,

ืœืชื•ืš ื”ืฆื•ืจื” ื”ืžื•ื›ืจืช ืฉืœ ื”ื“ื•ื‘ื™,
06:36
which is very comforting and intimate.
155
