Den typen magi jeg liker, som tryllekunstner,
00:18
is a magic that uses technology

er magi som bruker teknologi

to create illusions.

til å lage illusjoner.
00:22
So I would like to show you something I've been working on.

Jeg vil gjerne få vise dere noe jeg har jobbet med
00:24
It's an application

2000
Det er en app
00:26
that I think will be useful for artists --
5
11000
2000
som jeg tror vil være nyttig for kunstnere --
00:28
multimedia artists in particular.
6
13000
2000
multimedia kunstnere for å være presis.
00:30
It synchronizes videos

Den synkroniserer videoer
00:32
across multiple screens of mobile devices.
8

2000
over flere skjermer på flere mobile enheter.
00:34
And I borrowed these three iPods
9
19000
2000
Jeg lånte disse tre iPodene
00:36
from people here in the audience
10
21000
2000
fra folk her i salen
00:38
to show you what I mean.
11
23000
2000
for å vise dere hva jeg mener.
00:42
And I'm going to use them to tell you
12
27000

Jeg kommer til å bruke dem til å fortelle dere
00:44
a little bit about my favorite subject:

He had this wonderful trick

Han hadde et fantastisk triks
01:00
where a rosebush would bloom

3000
hvor en rosebusk ville blomstre
01:03
right in front of your eyes.
20

2000
rett foran øynene dine.
01:05
But it was his production of a butterfly
21
50000
3000
Men det var hans skapelse av en sommerfugl
01:08
that was the most beautiful.
22
53000

som var den vakreste.

Jeg bruker mange triks,

noe som betyr

that sometimes I have to lie to you.

Now I feel bad about that.

Self-deception.

Selv-bedrag
03:10
That's when we convince ourselves
72
175000
2000
Det er når vi overbeviser oss selv
03:12
that a lie is the truth.
73
177000
2000
om at en løgn egentlig er sann.
03:14
Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,

hvorfor filmer

are able to take us onto extraordinary adventures;

når han sier han elsker Juliet;

and why single notes of music,

3000
og hvordan enkle toner
04:03
when played together,
93
228000
2000
når satt sammen,
04:05
become a sonata and conjure up meaning.
94

3000
blir til en sonata og gir oss mening.

239000
4000
er det største bedraget av de alle.
04:18
Art is a deception
99
243000
3000
Kunst er et bedrag
04:21
that creates real emotions --
100
246000
2000
som produserer ekte følelser --
04:23
a lie that creates a truth.
101
248000
3000
en løgn som produserer en sannhet.
04:26
And when you give yourself over to that deception,
102
251000
4000
Og når du gir deg hen til dette bedraget
04:30
it becomes magic.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marco Tempest - Techno-illusionistMarco Tempest is a cyber illusionist, combining magic and technology to produce astonishing illusions.
Why you should listen
The Swiss magician began his performing career as a stage magician and manipulator, winning awards and establishing an international reputation. His interest in computer-generated imageryled him to incorporate video and digital technology in his work — and eventually to the development of a new form of contemporary illusion. The expansion of the Internet and social media provided more opportunities for digital illusions and ways of interacting with audiences and creating magically augmented realities. Tempest is a keen advocate of the open source community, working with artists, writers and technologists to create new experiences and research the practical uses of the technology of illusion. He is a Director’s Fellow at the MIT Media Lab.
