Kate Hartman: The art of wearable communication

Prevodilac: Robert Džudžar Lektor: Mateja Nenadovic

My name is Kate Hartman.

Zovem se Kejt Hartman

And I like to make devices

i volim praviti uređaje

that play with the ways

koji se poigravaju načinama

that we relate and communicate.

kojima se mi vezujemo i komuniciramo.

So I'm specifically interested in how we, as humans,

Posebno sam zainteresovana u to, kako se mi, kao ljudi,

relate to ourselves, each other

odnosimo međusobno

and the world around us.

i prema svetu oko nas.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So just to give you a bit of context,

Da bi vam dala malo konteksta,

as June said, I'm an artist, a technologist and an educator.

kao što je Džun rekla, ja sam umetnica, tehnolog i edukator.

I teach courses in physical computing

Držim predavanja fizičkog programiranja

and wearable electronics.

i nosive elektronike.

And much of what I do is either wearable

Puno toga čime se bavim je ili nosivo

or somehow related to the human form.

ili nekako povezano sa ljudskim oblikom.

And so anytime I talk about what I do,

I uvek, kada pričam o tome čime se bavim,

I like to just quickly address

volim da se na brzinu obrazložim

the reason why bodies matter.

zašto su tela važna.

And it's pretty simple.

Zapravo je jednostavno.

Everybody's got one -- all of you.

Svi imaju jedno telo -- svi vi.

I can guarantee, everyone in this room,

Mogu da garantujem, svako u ovoj prostoriji,

all of you over there, the people in the cushy seats,

svi vi tamo, ljudi u udobnim stolicama,

the people up top with the laptops --

ljudi gore sa laptopima --

we all have bodies.

svi mi imamo tela.

Don't be ashamed.

Nemojte se sramiti.

It's something that we have in common

To je nešto što nam je zajedničko

and they act as our primary interfaces for the world.

i ona se ponašaju kao osnovni suočnici sa svetom.

And so when working as an interaction designer,

I tako radeći kao dizajner interakcija,

or as an artist who deals with participation --

ili kao umetnik koji se bavi učestvovanjem --

creating things that live on, in or around the human form --

praveći stvari koje žive na, u, ili oko ljudskog oblika --

it's really a powerful space to work within.

to je zaista moćno mesto za rad.

So within my own work,

Dakle, u okviru mog rada,

I use a broad range of materials and tools.

koristim široki raspon materijala i alata.

So I communicate through everything from radio transceivers

Tako, koristim sve od radio-odašiljača

to funnels and plastic tubing.

do levkova i plastičnih cevi.

And to tell you a bit about the things that I make,

Da bih vam rekla nešto o stvarima koje pravim,

the easiest place to start the story

najlakše je da krenem sa pričom

is with a hat.

o kapi.

And so it all started several years ago,

Tako je sve krenulo pre nekoliko godina,

late one night when I was sitting on the subway, riding home,

kada sam išla kući kasno jedne noći metroom

and I was thinking.

i razmišljala.

And I tend to be a person who thinks too much and talks too little.

A sklona sam biti osoba koja previše razmišlja, a premalo priča.

And so I was thinking about how it might be great

Razmišljala sam o tome kako bi bilo super

if I could just take all these noises --

kada bih mogla samo da uzmem svu ovu buku --

like all these sounds of my thoughts in my head --

sve ove zvukove u mojim mislima --

if I could just physically extricate them

kada bih mogla fizički da ih izdvojim

and pull them out in such a form

i izvadim napolje u takvom obliku

that I could share them with somebody else.

kako bih ih mogla podeliti sa drugima.

And so I went home, and I made a prototype of this hat.

Tako sam otišla kući i napravila prototip ove kape.

And I called it the Muttering Hat,

Nazvala sam je Mrmljajuća kapa,

because it emitted these muttering noises

zbog toga što emituje mrmljanje

that were kind of tethered to you,

koje je na neki način privezano za vas,

but you could detach them

ali biste mogli da ih otkačite

and share them with somebody else.

i podelite sa nekim.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So I make other hats as well.

Takođe sam napravila i drugačije kape.

This one is called the Talk to Yourself Hat.

Ova kapa se naziva Pričaj sa sobom kapa.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

It's fairly self-explanatory.

Sasvim sebe objašnjava.

It physically carves out conversation space for one.

Ona fizički izrezuje prostor za razgovor.

And when you speak out loud,

I kada progovorite naglas,

the sound of your voice is actually channeled back into your own ears.

zvuk vašeg glasa se zapravo prenosi nazad do vaših ušiju.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so when I make these things,

Tako, kada napravim ovakve stvari,

it's really not so much about the object itself,

zapravo ne radi se toliko o samom objektu,

but rather the negative space around the object.

koliko o negativnom prostoru oko objekta.

So what happens when a person puts this thing on?

Šta se dešava kada osoba to obuče?

What kind of an experience do they have?

Kakvo iskustvo ima?

And how are they transformed by wearing it?

I kako se menjaju noseći ih?

So many of these devices

Većina ovih uređaja

really kind of focus on the ways in which we relate to ourselves.

je zapravo fokusiranje na načine na koje se odnosimo međusobno.

So this particular device is called the Gut Listener.

Ovaj urađaj se zove Slušač Stomaka.

And it is a tool

To je alat

that actually enables one

koji, zapravo, omogućuje nekom

to listen to their own innards.

da sluša svoje iznutrice.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so some of these things

Tako su neke od ovih stvari

are actually more geared toward expression and communication.

zapravo usmerene ka izražavanju i komunikaciji.

And so the Inflatable Heart

Srce na naduvavanje

is an external organ

je spoljašnji organ

that can be used by the wearer to express themselves.

koji nosilac može iskoristiti kako bi se izrazio.

So they can actually inflate it and deflate it

Tako da oni zapravo mogu da ga naduvaju ili izduvaju

according to their emotions.

u skladu sa svojim emocijama.

So they can express everything from admiration and lust

Mogu da izraze sve od divljenja i požude

to anxiety and angst.

do anksioznosti i ljutnje.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And some of these are actually meant

Dok su neki zapravo namenjeni

to mediate experiences.

da posreduju iskustva.

So the Discommunicator is a tool for arguments.

Tako da je Diskomunikator alatka za argumente.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so actually it allows for an intense emotional exchange,

I zapravo omogućuje žestoku emocionalnu razmenu,

but is serves to absorb

ali služi da bi upio

the specificity of the words that are delivered.

specifičnost reči koje su dostavljene.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And in the end,

I na kraju,

some of these things just act as invitations.

neke od ovih stvari se samo ponašaju kao pozivnice.

So the Ear Bender literally puts something out there

Tako, Savijač ušiju, bukvalno stavlja nešto u vazduh

so someone can grab your ear

kako bi neko mogao uhvatiti vaše uši

and say what they have to say.

i rekao ono što ima da kaže.

So even though I'm really interested in the relationship

Iako sam zapravo zainteresovana za odnose

between people,

između ljudi,

I also consider the ways

takođe razmatram i načine

in which we relate to the world around us.

na koje se mi odnosimo na svet oko nas.

And so when I was first living in New York City a few years back,

Kada sam prvi put živela u Njujorku pre nekoliko godina,

I was thinking a lot about

puno sam razmišljala o

the familiar architectural forms that surrounded me

poznatim arhitektonskim oblicima koji su me okruživali

and how I would like to better relate to them.

i o tome kako bih htela da se bolje povežem sa njima.

And I thought, "Well, hey!

Pomislila sam, ''Hej!

Maybe if I want to better relate to walls,

Možda kada želim da se bolje povežem sa zidovima,

maybe I need to be more wall-like myself."

treba da budem i sama više nalik zidu.''

So I made a wearable wall

Tako sam napravila noseći zid

that I could wear as a backpack.

koji sam mogla da nosim kao ranac.

And so I would put it on

I tako bih ga stavila na sebe

and sort of physically transform myself

i na neki način fizički se transformisala

so that I could either contribute to or critique

tako da bih mogla ili da doprinesem prostoru

the spaces that surrounded me.

koji me okružuje, ili da ga kritikujem.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so jumping off of that,

I da pređem na nešto drugo,

thinking beyond the built environment into the natural world,

razmišljajući izvan izgrađenog okruženja u prirodni svet,

I have this ongoing project called Botanicalls --

imam u toku ovaj projekat, Botanikals (Botanicalls),

which actually enables houseplants

koji omogućuje kućnim biljkama

to tap into human communication protocols.

da se uključe u ljudske protokole komunikacija.

So when a plant is thirsty,

Kada je biljka žedna,

it can actually make a phone call

ona može zapravo telefonirati

or post a message to a service like Twitter.

ili postaviti poruku na mrežu kao Tviter.

And so this really shifts the human/plant dynamic,

I to zaista pomera dinamiku ljudi i biljaka

because a single house plant

jer jedna kućna biljka

can actually express its needs

može zapravo da izrazi svoje potrebe

to thousands of people at the same time.

hiljadama ljudi istovremeno.

And so kind of thinking about scale,

I tako, nekako razmišljajući o skali,

my most recent obsession

moja najnovija opsesija

is actually with glaciers -- of course.

je sa glečerima -- naravno.

And so glaciers are these magnificent beings,

Glečeri su ova veličanstvena stvorenja

and there's lots of reasons to be obsessed with them,

i postoji gomila razloga za opsesiju njima,

but what I'm particularly interested in

ali ono što mene posebno zanima

is in human-glacier relations.

su ljudsko-glečerski odnosi.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Because there seems to be an issue.

Jer, čini se da postoji problem.

The glaciers are actually leaving us.

Glečeri nas zapravo napuštaju.

They're both shrinking and retreating --

Oni se i skupljaju i povlače --

and some of them have disappeared altogether.

a neki od njih su i nestali.

And so I actually live in Canada now,

Tako da sada živim u Kanadi,

so I've been visiting one of my local glaciers.

pa sam posećivala jedan od mojih lokalnih glečera.

And this one's particularly interesting,

Ovaj je posebno zanimljiv

because, of all the glaciers in North America,

zbog toga što od svih glečera u Severnoj Americi,

it receives the highest volume of human traffic in a year.

on prima najveću godišnju zapreminu ljudskog saobraćaja.

They actually have these buses that drive up and over the lateral moraine

Oni imaju autobuse koji se voze do i preko bočne morene

and drop people off on the surface of the glacier.

i ostavljaju ljude na površini glečera.

And this has really gotten me thinking

I to me je zaista navelo na razmišljanje

about this experience of the initial encounter.

o ovom iskustvu prvog susreta.

When I meet a glacier for the very first time,

Kada upoznam glečer po prvi put,

what do I do?

šta da radim?

There's no kind of social protocol for this.

Ne postoji nikakav društveni protokol za to.

I really just don't even know

Ja zapravo, ne znam ni kako

how to say hello.

da kažem zdravo.

Do I carve a message in the snow?

Da li da urežem poruku u sneg?

Or perhaps I can assemble one

Ili možda mogu sastaviti poruku

out of dot and dash ice cubes --

od tačkica i crtica ledenih kocki --

ice cube Morse code.

Morzeova azbuka pomoću ledenih kockica.

Or perhaps I need to make myself a speaking tool,

Ili možda treba da sebi napravim alat za pričanje,

like an icy megaphone

kao ledeni megafon

that I can use to amplify my voice

koji mogu iskoristiti da pojačam svoj glas

when I direct it at the ice.

kada se obratim ledu.

But really the most satisfying experience I've had

Ali zaista najzadovoljnije iskustvo koje sam imala

is the act of listening,

je čin slušanja,

which is what we need in any good relationship.

koji nam je potreban u bilo kojoj dobroj vezi.

And I was really struck by how much it affected me.

Zaista sam bila pogođena time koliko je ovo uticalo na mene.

This very basic shift in my physical orientation

Ovaj osnovni pomeraj u mojoj fizičkoj orijentaciji

helped me shift my perspective

mi je pomogao da pomerim svoje perspektive

in relation to the glacier.

u odnosu na glečer.

And so since we use devices

I pošto koristimo uređaje

to figure out how to relate to the world these days,

da bismo shvatili kako da se povežemo sa svetom ovih dana,

I actually made a device called the Glacier Embracing Suit.

ja sam napravila uređaj nazvan Odelo za Grljenje Glečera.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And so this is constructed out of a heat reflected material

Ovo je napravljeno od materijala koji odbija toplotu

that serves to mediate the difference in temperature

i služi kao posrednik u razlici temperatura

between the human body and the glacial ice.

između ljudskog tela i leda glečera.

And once again, it's this invitation

I još jednom, ovaj izum

that asks people to lay down on the glacier

traži od ljudi da legnu na glečer

and give it a hug.

i zagrle ga.

So, yea, this is actually just the beginning.

Tako da, ovo je zapravo samo početak.

These are initial musings for this project.

Ovo su početna razmišljanja o ovom projektu.

And just as with the wall, how I wanted to be more wall-like,

Pa kao i sa zidom, kako sam želala da budem više nalik zidu,

with this project, I'd actually like to take more a of glacial pace.

sa ovim projektom, želala bih da idem glečerskim tempom.

And so my intent

Tako da je moja namera

is to actually just take the next 10 years

da uzmem sledećih deset godina

and go on a series of collaborative projects

i odem na niz zajedničkih projekata,

where I work with people from different disciplines --

sarađujući sa ljudima iz različitih disciplina --

artists, technologists, scientists --

umetnicima, tehnolozima, naučnicima --

to kind of work on this project

da radimo na ovom projektu

of how we can improve human-glacier relations.

kako bismo popravili ljudsko-glečerske odnose.

So beyond that, in closing,

Tako da, na kraju,

I'd just like to say that we're in this era

bih samo htela da kažem da smo u ovoj eri

of communications and device proliferation,

komunikacija i širenja uređaja

and it's really tremendous and exciting and sexy,

i to je zaista ogromno, uzbudljivo i seksi,

but I think what's really important

ali mislim da ono što je zapravo važno

is thinking about how we can simultaneously

je razmišljati o tome kako bismo mogli istovremeno

maintain a sense of wonder and a sense of criticality

održavati odećaj divljenja i osećaj kritičnosti prema

about the tools that we use and the ways in which we relate to the world.

alatkama koje koristimo i načinima kojim se povezujemo sa svetom.

Thanks.

Hvala.
