Shilo Shiv Suleman: Using tech to enable dreaming

Prevodilac: Aleksandar Diklić Lektor: Mateja Nenadovic

My story begins right here actually in Rajasthan

Moja priča je počela baš ovde, u Radžastanu

about two years ago.

pre dve godine.

I was in the desert, under the starry skies

Bila sam u pustinji, ispod zvezdanog neba

with the Sufi singer Mukhtiar Ali.

sa Mukttiar Ali, Sufi pevačicom.

And we were in conversation

Razgovarale smo

about how nothing had changed

o tome kako se ništa nije promenilo

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

od vremena drevnog indijskog epa "Mahabharata".

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

Dakle, u vremenima, kad smo mi, Indijci, želeli da putujemo

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

skočili bismo u kočije i preleteli preko neba.

Now we do the same with airplanes.

Sada radimo isto to, avionima.

Back then,

Tada,

when Arjuna, the great Indian warrior prince,

kada je Arjuna, veliki indijski ratnik i princ,

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

bio žedan, izvadio bi luk i strelu,

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

ispalio bi je u zemlju i voda bi potekla.

Now we do the same

Mi radimo isto to

with drills and machines.

sa bušilicama i mašinama.

The conclusion that we came to

Zaključak je da smo došli do toga

was that magic had been replaced

da je magija zamenjena

by machinery.

mašinama.

And this made me really sad.

I to me je zaista rastužilo.

I found myself becoming a little bit of a technophobe.

Otkrila sam da postajem pomalo tehnofob.

I was terrified by this idea

Bila sam zaprepašćena idejom

that I would lose the ability

da ću izgubiti sposobnost

to enjoy and appreciate the sunset

da uživam i cenim zalazak sunca bez potrebe

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

da imam pri ruci foto-aparat, bez potrebe da delim to sa prijateljima.

And it felt like technology

Postojao je osećaj da bi tehnologija

should enable magic, not kill it.

trebala da omogući magiju, ne da je uništi.

When I was a little girl,

Kad sam bila mala

my grandfather gave me his little silver pocket watch.

deda mi je dao svoj srebrni džepni sat.

And this piece of 50-year-old technology

Ovo parče tehnologije stare pedeset godina

became the most magical thing to me.

postalo je najmagičnija stvar za mene.

It became a gilded gateway

Postalo je pozlaćena kapija

into a world full of pirates and shipwrecks

ka svetu punom pirata i olupina brodova

and images in my imagination.

i slika moje mašte.

So I felt like our cellphones

Dakle, osećam da nas naši mobilni telefoni,

and our fancy watches and our cameras

kao i naši moderni satovi i foto-aparati

had stopped us from dreaming.

zaustavljaju naše sanjarenje.

They stopped us from being inspired.

Zaustavili su našu inspiraciju.

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

I tako sam ja uskočila, u ovaj svet tehnologije,

to see how I could use it to enable magic

da vidim kako mogu da ga upotrebim za pokretanje magije

as opposed to kill it.

umesto da ga ubijem.

I've been illustrating books since I was 16.

Bavim se ilustracijom knjiga od moje šesnaeste godine.

And so when I saw the iPad,

I zato kad sam ugledala ajPed,

I saw it as a storytelling device

videla sam u njemu uređaj za pripovedanje

that could connect readers all over the world.

koji bi mogao da poveže čitaoce širom sveta.

It can know how we're holding it.

Može da zna kako ga držimo.

It can know where we are.

Zna gde se nalazimo.

It brings together image and text

Donosi nam u paketu sliku, tekst,

and animation and sound and touch.

animaciju, zvuk i dodir.

Storytelling is becoming

Pripovedanje je postalo

more and more multi-sensorial.

doživljaj za sva čula.

But what are we doing with it?

Ali šta mi radimo sa njime?

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

Sada ću da pokrenem "Khoya"-u,

an interactive app for the iPad.

interaktivnu aplikaciju za ajPed.

So it says, "Place your fingers

Kaže nam. "Postavite prste

upon each light."

na svako svetlo".

And so --

I tako --

(Music)

(muzika)

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

Kaže, "Ova kutija pripada .."

And so I type in my name.

I sada ja unosim ime.

And actually I become a character in the book.

I u stvari postajem lik u knjizi.

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

U razlicitim tačkama slovo pada na mene --

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

i ajPed zna gde živim zahvaljujući GPSu --

which is actually addressed to me.

koji je zapravo adresiran na mene.

The child in me is really excited

Dete u meni je zaista uzbuđeno

by these kinds of possibilities.

zahvaljujući ovim mogućnostima.

Now I've been talking a lot about magic.

Do sada sam dosta govorila o magiji.

And I don't mean wizards and dragons,

I nisam mislila na čarobnjake ili zmajeve,

I mean the kind of childhood magic,

mislila sam na magiju detinjstva,

those ideas that we all harbored as children.

one ideje koje smo gajili kao deca.

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

Ova ideja svica u tegli, iz nekog razloga,

was always really exciting to me.

oduvek mi je bila uzbudljiva.

And so over here you need to tilt your iPad,

I tako ovde morate da protresete vaš ajPed

take the fireflies out.

pustite svice napolje.

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

I oni vam u stvari osvetljavaju put kroz ostatak knjige.

Another idea that really fascinated me as a child

Druga ideja koja me je zaista fascinirala kao dete

was that an entire galaxy could be contained

je ta, da je cela galaksija mogla biti sadržana

within a single marble.

u jednom klikeru.

And so over here,

I tako ovde,

each book and each world

svaka knjiga i svaki svet

becomes a little marble

postaju mali klikeri

that I drag in

koje sam uvukla u

to this magical device within the device.

ovu magičnu napravu unutar naprave.

And it opens up a map.

I otvara nam mapu.

All along, all fantasy books have always had maps,

Oduvek, knjige koje se bave fantazijom, imale su mape,

but these maps have been static.

ali te mape su bile statične.

This is a map that grows and glows

Ovo je mapa raste i sija

and becomes your navigation for the rest of the book.

i postaje vaš vodič kroz ostatak knjige.

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

Sama se otkriva na određenim mestima u knjizi takođe.

So I'm just going to enter in.

Dakle, sad ću da uđem.

Another thing that's actually really important to me

Naredna stvar, koja mi je zaista vazna

is creating content that is Indian

je stvaranje sadržaja koji je indijski,

and yet very contemporary.

a ipak veoma savremen.

Over here, these are the Apsaras.

Ovo ovde su Apsarasi.

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

Dakle svi smo čuli o vilama i svi smo čuli za ninfe,

but how many people outside of India

ali koliko ljudi van Indije

know about their Indian counterparts, the Apsaras?

zna o svojim indijskim partnerima, Apsarasima?

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

Ovi jadni Apsarasi su zarobljeni unutar Indrinih odaja hiljadama godina,

in an old and musty book.

u staroj i ustajaloj knjizi

And so we're bringing them back

I sad smo ih mi vratili

in a contemporary story for children.

u modernu priču za decu.

And a story that actually deals with new issues

I priča se zaista bavi novim problemima

like the environmental crisis.

kao što je kriza životne sredine.

(Music)

(muzika)

Speaking of the environmental crisis,

Kad pričamo o krizi životne sredine,

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

mislim da je veliki problem u poslednjih deset godina

is that children have been locked inside their rooms,

to što su deca zatvorena u svoje sobe,

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

zalepljena za svoje računare, nisu bila u prilici da izađu.

But now with mobile technology,

Ali sad sa mobilnim tehnologijama,

we can actually take our children outside into the natural world

možemo zaista izvesti decu napolje, u svet prirode

with their technology.

sa njihovom tehnologijom.

One of the interactions in the book

Jedna od interakcija u knjizi

is that you're sent off on this quest

je ta da ste poslati u potragu

where you need to go outside,

gde morate da izađete napolje,

take out your camera on the iPad

uzmete kameru na ajPedu

and collect pictures of different natural objects.

i prikupite fotografije različitih prirodnih objekata.

When I was a child, I had multiple collections

Kad sam ja bila dete, imala sam mnogobrojne zbirke

of sticks and stones and pebbles and shells.

štapova, kamenja, šljunka i školjki.

And somehow kids don't do that anymore.

Nekako, deca to ne rade više.

So in bringing back this childhood ritual,

Dakle vratimo nazad ritual detinjstva,

you need to go out

morate da izađete napolje

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

i, u jednom poglavlju, fotografišete cvet

and then tag it.

i onda ga označite.

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

U drugom poglavlju, treba da fotografišete koru drveta

and then tag that.

i označite i to.

And what happens

Na taj način,

is that you actually create a digital collection of photographs

u stvari, pravite digitalnu zbirku fotografija

that you can then put up online.

koju nakon toga možete da postavite na internetu.

A child in London puts up a picture of a fox

Dete u Londonu napravi fotografiju lisice

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

i kaže: "Danas sam video lisicu."

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

Dete u Indiji kaže: "Danas sam video majmuna."

And it creates this kind of social network

Tako se stvara društvena mreža

around a collection of digital photographs

oko zbirke fotografija

that you've actually taken.

koje ste vi zaista fotografisali.

In the possibilities of linking together

U mogućnostima povezivanja

magic, the earth and technology,

magije, priode i tehnologije,

there are multiple possibilities.

postoje mnoge mogućnosti.

In the next book, we plan on having an interaction

U sledećoj knjizi, planiramo da uvedemo i interakciju

where you take your iPad out with the video on

za koju morate da ponesete ajPed i snimite video

and through augmented reality,

i pomoću izmenjene stvarnosti,

you see this layer of animated pixies

možete da vidite animirane vile

appear on a houseplant that's outside your house.

koje se pojavljuju na cveću ispred vaše kuće.

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

U jednom trenutku, vaš ekran je ispunjen lišćem.

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

I tako, vi morate da stvorite zvuk vetra kako biste ga oduvali

and read the rest of the book.

i pročitali ostatak knjige.

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

Pomeramo se, mi se svi pomeramo ovde,

to a world where the forces of nature

u svet gde se sile prirode

come closer together to technology,

približavaju tehnologiji,

and magic and technology can come closer together.

a magija i tehnologija mogu da se približe.

We're harnessing energy from the sun.

Koristimo energiju sunca.

We're bringing our children and ourselves

Dovodimo decu kao i nas same

closer to the natural world

bliže svetu prirode

and that magic and joy

i toj magiji i zadovoljstvu

and childhood love that we had

i ljubavi detinjstva koju smo mi imali

through the simple medium of a story.

putem jedostavnog medija, priče.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
