Cesar Kuriyama: One second every day

So, I'm an artist.

Es esmu mākslinieks.

I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising

Es dzīvoju Ņujorkā,

un kopš brīža, kad pabeidzu skolu, es strādāju reklāmas jomā,

for -- ever since I left school,

so about seven, eight years now,

tātad jau septiņus, astoņus gadus, un tas bija nogurdinoši.

and it was draining.

I worked a lot of late nights. I worked a lot of weekends,

Es bieži strādāju līdz vēlam vakaram, bieži strādāju brīvdienās,

and I found myself never having time for all the projects

un sapratu, ka man nekad nav laika projektiem,

that I wanted to work on on my own.

ar ko pats vēlos nodarboties.

And one day I was at work and I saw a talk

Kādu dienu, esot darbā, es redzēju

by Stefan Sagmeister on TED,

Stefana Segmaistera TED runu,

and it was called "The power of time off,"

tā saucās „Brīvā laika spēks”.

and he spoke about how every seven years,

Viņš stāstīja par to, kā ik pa septiņiem gadiem

he takes a year off from work so he could

viņš paņem vienu gadu brīvu,

do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired,

lai varētu nodarboties pats ar saviem radošajiem projektiem,

Tas mani uzreiz iedvesmoja,

and I just said, "I have to do that. I have to take a year off.

un es teicu: „Man tā ir jādara. Man ir jāpaņem brīvs gads.

I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family

Man vajadzīgs laiks ceļošanai, laiks ģimenei

and start my own creative ideas."

un savu radošo ideju uzsākšanai.”

So the first of those projects ended up being

Tā nu pirmais no šādiem projektiem bija

something I called "One Second Every Day."

kaut kas, ko es nosaucu „Katru dienu pa sekundei”.

Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life

Būtībā es līdz mūža galam

for the rest of my life,

ierakstu vienu sekundi no katras savas dzīves dienas,

chronologically compiling these one-second

hronoloģiski apkopojot šīs vienu sekundes garās dzīves daļiņas

tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video

vienā, nepārtrauktā video,

until, you know, I can't record them anymore.

līdz, nu jūs saprotat, es vairs nespēšu tās ierakstīt.

The purpose of this project is, one:

Šī projekta mērķis ir, pirmkārt:

I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past.

es nevaru ciest, ka neatceros, ko pagātnē esmu darījis.

There's all these things that I've done with my life

Ir tik daudz kas, ko dzīves laikā esmu sadarījis,

that I have no recollection of

par ko man nav nekādu atmiņu, ja vien kāds nesāk par to runāt.

unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think,

Un es reizēm nenodomāju: „Ā, jā, esmu to darījis.”

"Oh yeah, that's something that I did."

And something that I realized early on in the project

Vēl kas, ko aptvēru pašā projekta sākumā,

was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting,

ja es neesmu darījis neko interesantu,

I would probably forget to record the video.

ļoti iespējams, ka aizmirstu ierakstīt video.

So the day -- the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me,

Tāpēc dienā, kad pirmo reizi to aizmirsu, tas mani sāpināja,

because it's something that I really wanted to --

jo tas bija kaut kas, ko tiešām vēlējos izdarīt.

from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted

No brīža, kad man palika 30, es gribēju, lai šis projekts turpinās mūžīgi,

to keep this project going until forever,

and having missed that one second, I realized,

un, kad nokavēju šo vienu sekundi, es sapratu,

it just kind of created this thing in my head

ka tas it kā radīja manā galvā tādu impulsu,

where I never forgot ever again.

ka es nekad vairāk to neaizmirsu.

So if I live to see 80 years of age,

Tātad, ja es nodzīvoju, teiksim, 80 gadus,

I'm going to have a five-hour video

man būs piecu stundu garš video,

that encapsulates 50 years of my life.

kurā iemūžināti 50 manas dzīves gadi.

When I turn 40, I'll have a one-hour video

Kad man paliks 40, man būs stundu garš video,

that includes just my 30s.

kurā būs mani trīsdesmitie.

This has really

Tas patiesībā mani iedvesmo dienu no dienas pamostoties

invigorated me day-to-day, when I wake up,

to try and do something interesting with my day.

censties padarīt savu dienu interesantu.

Now, one of the things that I have issues with is that,

Viena no problēmām, ar ko saskaros ir,

as the days and weeks and months go by,

ka, dienām, nedēļām un mēnešiem ejot uz priekšu,

time just seems to start blurring

rodas tāda sajūta, ka laiks sāk saplūst un sajaukties kopā,

and blending into each other

and, you know, I hated that,

un, ziniet, man tas riebjas,

and visualization is the way to trigger memory.

un vizualizācija ir veids, kā aktivizēt atmiņu.

You know, this project for me is a way for me

Ziniet, šis projekts man ir veids,

to bridge that gap and remember everything that I've done.

kā pārvarēt šo plaisu un atcerēties visu, ko esmu darījis.

Even just this one second allows me to remember

Pat šī viena sekunde ļauj man atcerēties

everything else I did that one day.

visu pārējo, ko todien darīju.

It's difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.

Dažkārt ir grūti izvēlēties šo vienu sekundi.

On a good day, I'll have maybe three or four seconds

Labā dienā, man varbūt būs trīs vai četras sekundes,

that I really want to choose,

kuras es ļoti gribētu izvēlēties,

but I'll just have to narrow it down to one,

bet man vajadzēs izvēlēties vienu,

but even narrowing it down to that one allows me

lai gan pat vienas izvēlēšanās

to remember the other three anyway.

jebkurā gadījumā ļauj man atcerēties arī pārējās trīs.

It's also kind of a protest, a personal protest,

Tas ir arī tāds kā protests, personīgs protests,

against the culture we have now where people

pret mums apkārt esošo kultūru,

just are at concerts with their cell phones out

kur cilvēki stāv koncertos ar mobilajiem tālruņiem

recording the whole concert, and they're disturbing you.

un, traucējot citiem, ieraksta visu koncertu.

They're not even enjoying the show.

Viņi pat nebauda uzstāšanos, viņi skatās koncertu caur savu mobilo tālruni.

They're watching the concert through their cell phone.

I hate that. I admittedly used to be that guy a little bit,

Es to nevaru ciest.

Atzīstu, arī es agrāk mazliet tāds biju, tomēr esmu nolēmis, ka labākais veids,

back in the day, and I've decided that the best way

for me to still capture and keep a visual memory of my life

kā notvert un vēl joprojām saglabāt vizuālo dzīves atmiņu,

and not be that person, is to just record that one second

un nebūt „tādam cilvēkam”, ir vienkārši ierakstīt šo sekundi,

that will allow me to trigger that memory of,

kas man ļaus saglabāt šo atmiņu:

"Yeah, that concert was amazing. I really loved that concert."

„Jā, šis koncerts bija nepārspējams. Man tiešām tas ļoti patika.”

And it just takes a quick, quick second.

Un tas prasa tikai īsu, īsu sekundi.

I was on a three-month road trip this summer.

Šovasar es biju trīs mēnešu garā ceļojumā.

It was something that I've been dreaming about doing my whole life,

Tas bija kas tāds, par ko esmu sapņojis visu dzīvi,

just driving around the U.S. and Canada

vienkārši apbraukāt ASV un Kanādu

and just figuring out where to go the next day,

un tikai nākamajā dienā domāt, kur braukt tālāk.

and it was kind of outstanding.

Tas bija apbrīnojami.

I actually ran out, I spent too much money on my road trip

Patiesībā es pārtērējos, ceļojuma laikā iztērēju par daudz naudas

for the savings that I had to take my year off,

no krājumiem, ko biju atlicinājis šim gadam,

so I had to, I went to Seattle and I spent some time

tāpēc man nācās doties uz Sietlu

un pavadīt kādu laiciņu ar draugiem, strādājot pie viena jauka projekta.

with friends working on a really neat project.

One of the reasons that I took my year off was to spend more time with my family,

Viens no iemesliem, kāpēc es paņēmu brīvu gadu,

bija, lai pavadītu vairāk laika ar ģimeni, un notika kas ļoti traģisks.

and this really tragic thing happened where

my sister-in-law,

Brāļa sievai pēkšņi sapinās zarnas,

her intestine suddenly strangled one day,

and we took her to the emergency room,

un mēs viņu aizvedām uz slimnīcu.

and she was, she was in really bad shape.

Viņā bija ļoti smagā stāvoklī.

We almost lost her a couple of times,

Vairākas reizes viņa gandrīz aizgāja.

and I was there with my brother every day.

Es tur pavadīju katru dienu kopā ar brāli.

It helped me realize something else during this project,

Tas man palīdzēja saprast vēl ko projekta laikā –

is that recording that one second on a really bad day

ierakstīt šo vienu sekundi ļoti sliktā dienā

is extremely difficult.

ir ārkārtīgi grūti.

It's not -- we tend to take our cameras out when we're doing awesome things.

Mēs parasti velkam ārā fotoaparātus, kad darām ko kolosālu.

Or we're, "Oh, yeah, this party, let me take a picture."

Vai mēs sakām: „O, jā, ballīte! Nobildēsimies!”

But we rarely do that when we're having a bad day,

Ļoti reti mēs tā darām, kad mums ir slikta diena

and something horrible is happening.

vai notiek kas briesmīgs.

And I found that it's actually been very, very important

Esmu sapratis, ka īstenībā ierakstīt kaut vienu sekundi

to record even just that one second of a really bad moment.

no ļoti skumja brīža ir ļoti, ļoti svarīgi.

It really helps you appreciate the good times.

Tas palīdz novērtēt labos laikus.

It's not always a good day, so when you have a bad one,

Katra diena nav laba, un, kad ir slikta diena,

I think it's important to remember it,

uzskatu, ka ir svarīgi to atcerēties,

just as much as it is important to remember the [good] days.

tikpat ļoti, cik svarīgi ir atcerēties labās dienas.

Now one of the things that I do is I don't use any filters,

Viena no lietām ir, ka es neizmantoju nekādus filtrus.

I don't use anything to -- I try to capture the moment

Es neizmantoju neko, es tikai cenšos notvert mirkli

as much as possible as the way that I saw it with my own eyes.

pēc iespējas līdzīgāk tam, kā to redzu savām acīm.

I started a rule of first person perspective.

Es sāku tādu kā pirmās personas skatījuma likumu.

Early on, I think I had a couple of videos where

Sākumā, šķiet, bija pāris video,

you would see me in it, but I realized that wasn't the way to go.

kuros esmu redzams es, tomēr sapratu, ka tas nav pareizais veids, kā to darīt.

The way to really remember what I saw

Īstais veids, kā atcerēties redzēto,

was to record it as I actually saw it.

ir ierakstīt to, ko patiešām redzu.

Now a couple of things that I have in my head about this project are,

Man galvā ir pāris domas par šo projektu.

wouldn't it be interesting if thousands of people were doing this?

Vai nebūtu interesanti, ja tūkstošiem cilvēku tā darītu?

I turned 31 last week, which is there.

Te man pagājušonedēļ apritēja 31 gads.

I think it would be interesting to see

Manuprāt, būtu ļoti interesanti redzēt, ko katrs ir izdara ar šādu projektu.

what everyone did with a project like this.

I think everyone would have a different interpretation of it.

Domāju, ka katrs to interpretētu citādi.

I think everyone would benefit from just having that one second to remember every day.

Domāju, ka ikviens gūtu labumu no šīs vienas sekundes, ko atcerēties.

Personally, I'm tired of forgetting,

Es personīgi esmu noguris no aizmiršanas,

and this is a really easy thing to do.

un šis ir ļoti vienkāršs veids, kā atcerēties.

I mean, we all have HD-capable cameras in our pockets right now --

Galu galā mums visiem šobrīd kabatās ir HD fotoaparāti,

most people in this room, I bet --

varu derēt, ka vismaz vairumam klātesošo, un tas ir kaut kas, kas...

and it's something that's --

I never want to forget another day that I've ever lived,

Es vairs nevēlos aizmirst nevienu nodzīvoto dienu.

and this is my way of doing that,

un šis ir mans veids, kā to panākt.

and it'd be really interesting also to see,

Būtu arī ļoti interesanti redzēt...

if you could just type in on a website,

ja būtu mājaslapa,

"June 18, 2018,"

kurā varētu vienkārši ierakstīt „2018. gada 18. jūnijs”

and you would just see a stream of people's lives

un redzēt attiecīgajā dienā ierakstītos video no visas pasaules.

on that particular day from all over the world.

And I don't know, I think this project has a lot of possibilities,

Es nezinu, manuprāt, šim projektam ir daudz iespēju.

and I encourage you all to record just a small snippet of your life every day,

Vēlos jūs mudināt ierakstīt kaut maziņu katras savas dzīves dienas fragmentu,

so you can never forget that that day, you lived.

lai nekad neaizmirstu nevienu nodzīvoto dienu.

Thank you.

Paldies.

(Applause)
