Lucy McRae: How can technology transform the human body?

Prevodilac: Aleksandra Jovovic Lektor: Ivana Korom

I call myself a body architect.

Sebe nazivam arhitektom tela.

I trained in classical ballet

Trenirala sam klasičan balet

and have a background in architecture and fashion.

i imam iskustva u arhitekturi i modi.

As a body architect, I fascinate with the human body

Kao arhitekta tela fascinirana sam ljudskim telom

and explore how I can transform it.

i istražujem kako ga mogu preobraziti.

I worked at Philips Electronics

U Philips Electronics radila sam

in the far-future design research lab,

u istraživačkoj laboratoriji dizajna za daleku budućnost,

looking 20 years into the future.

predviđajući 20 godina u budućnost.

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

Istraživala sam ljudsku kožu i kako tehnologija može transformisati telo.

I worked on concepts like an electronic tattoo,

Radila sam na konceptima kao što su elektronska tetovaža

which is augmented by touch,

koja se pojačava na dodir

or dresses that blushed and shivered with light.

ili haljine koje pod svetlošću crvene ili trepere.

I started my own experiments.

Započela sam sopstvene eksperimente.

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

Ovo su bili niskotehnološki pristupi visokotehnološkim razgovorima koje sam vodila.

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

Ovo su vrhovi štapića zalepljeni na mog cimera pomoću lepka za perike.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

Otpočela sam saradnju sa svojim prijateljem Bartom Hesom

he doesn't normally look like this --

on obično ne izgleda ovako -

and we used ourselves as models.

i kao modele koristili smo nas same.

We transformed our apartments into our laboratories,

Transformisali smo naše stanove u laboratorije

and worked in a very spontaneous and immediate way.

i radili na veoma spontan i neposredan način.

We were creating

Stvarali smo

visual imagery provoking human evolution.

vizuelne slike provocirajući ljudsku evoluciju.

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

Dok sam radila u Philips-u, razgovarali smo o ideji možda-tehnologije,

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

nečega što nije uključeno niti isključeno - nešto između.

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

"Možda", koje može da uzme oblik gasa il tečnosti.

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

I postala sam opsednuta ovom idejom zamagljivanja granice tela,

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

tako da ne možete videti gde se koža završava, a blisko okruženje počinje.

I set up my studio in the red-light district

Postavila sam studio u crvenoj četvrti

and obsessively wrapped myself in plumbing tubing,

i opsesivno umotavala sebe u cevi za vodu

and found a way to redefine the skin

i pronašla način da redefinišem kožu

and create this dynamic textile.

i stvorim dinamičan tekstil.

I was introduced to Robyn, the Swedish pop star,

Upoznala sam Robin, švedsku pop zvezdu

and she was also exploring

koja je takođe 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 sa ovim novim perjem,

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

ovom novom bojom za lice, pankom, načinom na koji se identifikujemo sa svetom

and we made this music video.

i napravile smo ovaj muzički video.

I'm fascinated with the idea

Fascinirana sam idejom

of what happens when you merge biology with technology,

o tome šta se desi kada stopite biologiju sa tehnologijim

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

i sećam se da sam čitala o ovoj ideji mogućnosti biloškog reprogramiranja

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

i izbegavanja bolesti i starenja u budućnosti.

And I thought about this concept of,

I razmišljala sam o ovom konceptu,

imagine if we could reprogram

zamislite da možemo da reprogramiramo

our own body odor, modify and biologically enhance it,

sopstveni miris, modifikujemo ga i biološki poboljšamo,

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

i kako bi to promenilo način na koji komuniciramo međusobno?

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,

I da li bi se vratili na, više nalik životinjama,

more primal modes of communication?

primitivnije vidove komunikacije?

I worked with a synthetic biologist,

Radila sam sa sintetičkim biologom

and I created a swallowable perfume,

i stvorila parfem koji se guta

which is a cosmetic pill that you eat

koji je kozmetička pilula koja se jede

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

i miris izlazi preko površine kože kada se znojite.

It completely blows apart the way that perfume is,

U celosti razbija način na koji parfem postoji

and provides a whole new format.

i pruža potpuno novi oblik.

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.

Redefiniše ulogu kože i naša tela postaju raspršivači.

I've learned that there's no boundaries,

Naučila sam da ne postoje granice

and if I look at the evolution of my work

i ako pogledam razvoj svog posla

i can see threads and connections that make sense.

mogu da vidim niti i veze koje imaju smisla.

But when I look towards the future,

Ali kada pogledam prema budućnosti

the next project is completely unknown and wide open.

sledeći projekat je potpuno neopoznat i širom otvoren.

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

Osećam da sve ove ideje postoje ugrađene u meni

and it's these conversations and these experiences

i to su ovi razgovori i ova iskustva

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

koji povezuju ove ideje i one instiktivno izađu.

As a body architect,

Kao arhitekta tela

I've created this limitless and boundless platform

kreirala sam ovu bezgraničnu, neograničenu platformu

for me to discover whatever I want.

za sebe da otkrijem šta god poželim.

And I feel like I've just got started.

I osećam kao da sam tek počela.

So here's to another day at the office.

Dakle, živeo još jedan dan u kancelariji.

(Laughter) (Applause)

(smeh)(aplauz)

Thank you!

Hvala vam!

Thank you!

Hvala vam!
