So, I'm an artist.
0
820
1648
Okay, jeg er kunstner.
00:18
I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising
1
2468
2454
Jeg bor i New York, og jeg har arbejdet i reklamebranchen
00:20
for -- ever since I left school,
2
4922
2645
i -- lige siden jeg kom ud af skolen,
00:23
so about seven, eight years now,
3
7567
1621
det vil sige i cirka syv, otte år,
00:25
and it was draining.
4
9188
1556
og det var opslidende.
00:26
I worked a lot of late nights. I worked a lot of weekends,
5
10744
2713
Jeg arbejdede mange sene nætter. Jeg arbejdede mange weekender,
00:29
and I found myself never having time for all the projects
6
13457
3170
og jeg opdagede at jeg aldrig havde tid til alle de projekter
00:32
that I wanted to work on on my own.
7
16627
2302
som jeg selv havde lyst til at arbejde på.
00:34
And one day I was at work and I saw a talk
8
18929
1962
Og så en dag var jeg på arbejde og så et foredrag
00:36
by Stefan Sagmeister on TED,
9
20891
2231
af Stefan Sagmeister på TED,
00:39
and it was called "The power of time off,"
10
23122
1655
og det hed "Vigtigheden af at holde fri,"
00:40
and he spoke about how every seven years,
11
24777
2636
og han talte om hvordan han hvert syvende år
00:43
he takes a year off from work so he could
12
27413
2107
tager et år fri fra arbejde så han
kan lave sine egne kreative projekter
kan lave sine egne kreative projekter
00:45
do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired,
13
29520
3665
og jeg blev inspireret omgående og jeg sagde bare,
00:49
and I just said, "I have to do that. I have to take a year off.
14
33185
3389
"Det må jeg gøre. Jeg bliver nødt til tage et år fri.
00:52
I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family
15
36574
4479
Jeg skal tage tid til at rejse og tilbringe tid med min familie
00:56
and start my own creative ideas."
16
41053
2286
og starte mine egne kreative ideer."
00:59
So the first of those projects ended up being
17
43339
3639
Så det første af de projekter endte med at være
01:02
something I called "One Second Every Day."
18
46978
3566
noget jeg kaldte "Et Sekund Hver Dag"
01:06
Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life
19
50544
2334
Dybest set optager jeg et sekund af hver dag af mit liv
01:08
for the rest of my life,
20
52878
2735
i resten af mit liv,
01:11
chronologically compiling these one-second
21
55613
2937
og samler kronologisk disse ét sekunders
01:14
tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video
22
58550
4302
bittesmå bidder af mit liv til én eneste fortløbende video
01:18
until, you know, I can't record them anymore.
23
62852
5677
indtil jeg en dag ikke kan optage mere.
01:24
The purpose of this project is, one:
24
68529
2357
Målet med dette projekt er, for det første:
01:26
I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past.
25
70886
4724
jeg hader ikke at kunne huske de ting jeg har lavet tidligere.
01:31
There's all these things that I've done with my life
26
75610
2710
Der er alle mulige ting jeg har gjort i løbet af mit liv
01:34
that I have no recollection of
27
78320
1914
som jeg slet ikke har nogen erindring om
01:36
unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think,
28
80234
1716
medmindre nogen nævner det, og nogle gange tænker jeg,
01:37
"Oh yeah, that's something that I did."
29
81950
3571
"Nå ja, det gjorde jeg faktisk."
01:41
And something that I realized early on in the project
30
85521
1641
Og noget jeg opdagede tidligt i dette projekt
01:43
was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting,
31
87162
2724
var at hvis jeg ikke lavede noget interessant,
01:45
I would probably forget to record the video.
32
89886
2479
glemte jeg sikkert at optage video den dag.
01:48
So the day -- the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me,
33
92365
3473
Så dagen -- den første gang jeg glemte det, blev jeg virkelig ked af det,
01:51
because it's something that I really wanted to --
34
95838
2475
fordi det er noget jeg virkelig gerne ville gøre --
01:54
from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted
35
98313
2196
fra det øjeblik at jeg blev 30,
01:56
to keep this project going until forever,
36
100509
3350
ville jeg gerne holde dette projekt kørende hele livet,
01:59
and having missed that one second, I realized,
37
103859
2446
og at mangle det ene sekund, blev jeg klar over,
02:02
it just kind of created this thing in my head
38
106305
3753
skabte en mekanisme i mit hoved
02:05
where I never forgot ever again.
39
110058
2263
så jeg aldrig nogensinde glemmer det igen.
02:11
So if I live to see 80 years of age,
40
115598
2999
Så hvis jeg bliver 80 år gammel,
02:14
I'm going to have a five-hour video
41
118597
2633
har jeg en fem timers video
02:17
that encapsulates 50 years of my life.
42
121230
2749
der sammenfatter 50 år af mit liv.
02:19
When I turn 40, I'll have a one-hour video
43
123979
2392
Når jeg bliver 40, har jeg en en-times video
02:22
that includes just my 30s.
44
126371
5237
der alene sammenfatter mit liv i trediverne.
02:27
This has really
45
131608
1528
Dette har virkelig oplivet mig fra dag til dag,
02:29
invigorated me day-to-day, when I wake up,
46
133136
3275
og gør at jeg, når jeg vågner, altid prøver
02:32
to try and do something interesting with my day.
47
136411
2887
at gøre noget interessant med min dag.
02:42
Now, one of the things that I have issues with is that,
48
146757
3508
En af de ting som jeg virkelig har et problem med
02:46
as the days and weeks and months go by,
49
150265
4198
er at i takt med at dagene og ugerne og månederne går,
02:50
time just seems to start blurring
50
154463
1817
er det som om tiden bare flyder sammen
02:52
and blending into each other
51
156280
1922
og skellene udhviskes
02:54
and, you know, I hated that,
52
158202
3731
og det hadede jeg virkelig.
02:57
and visualization is the way to trigger memory.
53
161933
5029
og visualisering er måden til at sætte gang i hukommelsen.
03:10
You know, this project for me is a way for me
54
174992
2889
Dette projekt er en måde for mig
03:13
to bridge that gap and remember everything that I've done.
55
177881
3294
at slå bro over det mellemrum og huske alt jeg har lavet.
03:17
Even just this one second allows me to remember
56
181175
2567
Bare dette sekund tillader mig at huske
03:19
everything else I did that one day.
57
183742
2277
alt andet jeg gjorde den dag.
03:21
It's difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
58
186019
2662
Det er svært, nogle gange, at vælge det ene sekund.
03:24
On a good day, I'll have maybe three or four seconds
59
188681
3184
På en god dag, har jeg måske tre eller fire sekunder
03:27
that I really want to choose,
60
191865
1713
som jeg virkelig gerne vil vælge,
03:29
but I'll just have to narrow it down to one,
61
193578
2149
men jeg skal bare vælge en,
03:31
but even narrowing it down to that one allows me
62
195727
1964
og faktisk, selv det at vælge det ene sekund
03:33
to remember the other three anyway.
63
197691
2480
tillader mig at huske de tre andre alligevel.
03:36
It's also kind of a protest, a personal protest,
64
200171
3541
Det er også en form for protest, en personlig protest,
03:39
against the culture we have now where people
65
203712
2395
imod den kultur som vi nu har, hvor mennesker
03:42
just are at concerts with their cell phones out
66
206107
2442
bare er til koncerter med deres mobiltelefon fremme
03:44
recording the whole concert, and they're disturbing you.
67
208549
2149
og optager hele koncerten, og de forstyrrer en.
03:46
They're not even enjoying the show.
68
210698
1235
De nyder ikke engang det der foregår på scenen.
03:47
They're watching the concert through their cell phone.
69
211933
3105
De ser koncerten gennem deres mobiltelefon.
03:50
I hate that. I admittedly used to be that guy a little bit,
70
215038
3968
Det hader jeg. Jeg indrømmer at jeg plejede at være den fyr en smule engang,
03:54
back in the day, and I've decided that the best way
71
219006
2818
og jeg har besluttet, at den bedste metode til at
03:57
for me to still capture and keep a visual memory of my life
72
221824
5581
fange og beholde et visuelt minde for resten af livet,
04:03
and not be that person, is to just record that one second
73
227405
3086
- og ikke være den person med mobiltelefonen -
er bare at optage det ene sekund
er bare at optage det ene sekund
04:06
that will allow me to trigger that memory of,
74
230491
2269
som kan sætte mindet i gang:
04:08
"Yeah, that concert was amazing. I really loved that concert."
75
232760
3375
"Ja, den koncert var fantastisk. Jeg elskede virkelig den koncert."
04:12
And it just takes a quick, quick second.
76
236135
5418
Og det tager kun et kort, kort sekund.
04:17
I was on a three-month road trip this summer.
77
241553
2879
Jeg var på en tre måneders biltur denne sommer.
04:20
It was something that I've been dreaming about doing my whole life,
78
244432
2854
Det var noget jeg har drømt om at gøre hele mit liv,
04:23
just driving around the U.S. and Canada
79
247286
2493
bare køre rundt i USA og Canada
04:25
and just figuring out where to go the next day,
80
249779
3239
og bare finde ud af hvor jeg skulle hen den næste dag,
04:28
and it was kind of outstanding.
81
253018
2605
og det var på en måde enestående.
04:31
I actually ran out, I spent too much money on my road trip
82
255623
3712
Jeg løb faktisk tør, jeg brugte for mange penge på min biltur
04:35
for the savings that I had to take my year off,
83
259335
2990
i forhold til den opsparing jeg havde til at holde et år fri,
04:38
so I had to, I went to Seattle and I spent some time
84
262325
2894
så jeg tog til Seattle og jeg tilbragte noget tid
04:41
with friends working on a really neat project.
85
265219
3550
med venner der arbejdede på et virkelig fedt projekt.
04:52
One of the reasons that I took my year off was to spend more time with my family,
86
276111
3760
En af grundene til jeg tog et års fri var at tilbringe mere tid med min familie,
04:55
and this really tragic thing happened where
87
279871
3410
og denne virkelig tragiske ting skete hvor
04:59
my sister-in-law,
88
283281
1605
min svigerinde,
05:00
her intestine suddenly strangled one day,
89
284886
3436
pludselig fik hun alvorlige maveproblemer en dag,
05:04
and we took her to the emergency room,
90
288322
2778
og vi bragte hende til skadestuen,
05:07
and she was, she was in really bad shape.
91
291100
3292
og det så virkelig skidt ud med hende.
05:10
We almost lost her a couple of times,
92
294392
2075
Vi mistede hende næsten et par gange,
05:12
and I was there with my brother every day.
93
296467
3412
og jeg var der sammen med min bror hver dag.
05:19
It helped me realize something else during this project,
94
303908
2776
Det hjalp mig med at indse noget andet i løbet af dette projekt,
05:22
is that recording that one second on a really bad day
95
306684
6515
nemlig at optage det ene sekund på en virkelig dårlig dag
05:29
is extremely difficult.
96
313199
1233
er ekstremt svært.
05:30
It's not -- we tend to take our cameras out when we're doing awesome things.
97
314432
5197
Det er ikke -- vi har en tendens til at hive vores kamera frem når vi laver fede ting.
05:35
Or we're, "Oh, yeah, this party, let me take a picture."
98
319629
2424
Eller vi tænker, "Jeg er til en fest, lad mig tage et billede."
05:37
But we rarely do that when we're having a bad day,
99
322053
3002
Men det gør vi sjældent når vi har en dårlig dag,
05:40
and something horrible is happening.
100
325055
1881
og der lige er sket noget forfærdeligt.
05:42
And I found that it's actually been very, very important
101
326936
3420
Og jeg fandt ud af at det faktisk har været meget, meget vigtigt
05:46
to record even just that one second of a really bad moment.
102
330356
3544
at optage selv det ene sekund af et virkelig dårligt øjeblik.
05:49
It really helps you appreciate the good times.
103
333900
3701
Det hjælper virkelig en med at værdsætte de gode tider.
05:53
It's not always a good day, so when you have a bad one,
104
337601
4287
Det er ikke altid en god dag, så når man har en dårlig en,
05:57
I think it's important to remember it,
105
341888
1898
mener jeg det er vigtigt at huske den,
05:59
just as much as it is important to remember the [good] days.
106
343786
5624
lige så vel som det er vigtigt at huske de gode dage.
06:13
Now one of the things that I do is I don't use any filters,
107
357480
2866
En af de ting jeg gør, er at jeg ikke bruger filtre,
06:16
I don't use anything to -- I try to capture the moment
108
360346
3779
jeg bruger ikke noget til at -- jeg prøver at fange øjeblikket
06:20
as much as possible as the way that I saw it with my own eyes.
109
364125
5627
så meget som muligt som den måde jeg så det med mine egne øjne på.
06:25
I started a rule of first person perspective.
110
369752
2735
Jeg startede en regel om første persons perspektiv.
06:28
Early on, I think I had a couple of videos where
111
372487
2073
Ret tidligt i projektet havde jeg et par filmklip
06:30
you would see me in it, but I realized that wasn't the way to go.
112
374560
4213
hvor man kunne se mig, men jeg blev klar over at det ikke var måden at gøre det på.
06:34
The way to really remember what I saw
113
378773
1847
Vejen til virkelig at huske det jeg så
06:36
was to record it as I actually saw it.
114
380620
4866
var at optage det som jeg faktisk så det.
06:48
Now a couple of things that I have in my head about this project are,
115
392537
4262
Blandt de ting jeg tænker om dette projekt er
06:52
wouldn't it be interesting if thousands of people were doing this?
116
396799
5975
ville det ikke være interessant hvis tusindevis af mennesker gjorde det samme?
06:58
I turned 31 last week, which is there.
117
402774
6255
Jeg blev 31 sidste uge, som I kan se lige dér.
07:04
I think it would be interesting to see
118
409029
1728
Jeg tror det vil være interessant at se
07:06
what everyone did with a project like this.
119
410757
1848
hvad alle ville gøre med et projekt som dette.
07:08
I think everyone would have a different interpretation of it.
120
412605
1992
Jeg tror alle ville lave forskellige versioner af det.
07:10
I think everyone would benefit from just having that one second to remember every day.
121
414597
4738
Jeg tror alle ville have gavn af at have bare et sekund de skulle huske hver dag.
07:15
Personally, I'm tired of forgetting,
122
419335
2851
Personligt er jeg træt af at glemme,
07:18
and this is a really easy thing to do.
123
422186
2571
og dette er en virkelig nem ting at gøre.
07:20
I mean, we all have HD-capable cameras in our pockets right now --
124
424757
2869
Jeg mener, vi har alle kameraer i lommen der er i stand til at optage i HD --
07:23
most people in this room, I bet --
125
427626
1830
de fleste mennesker i lokalet, vil jeg vædde med --
07:25
and it's something that's --
126
429456
1590
og det er noget der --
07:26
I never want to forget another day that I've ever lived,
127
431046
2258
jeg vil aldrig glemme endnu en dag som jeg har levet,
07:29
and this is my way of doing that,
128
433304
2281
og dette er min måde at gøre det på,
07:31
and it'd be really interesting also to see,
129
435585
2785
og det ville også være rigtig interessant at se,
07:34
if you could just type in on a website,
130
438370
1970
hvis man bare kunne taste det ind på en hjemmeside,
07:36
"June 18, 2018,"
131
440340
3206
"18 juni, 2018,"
07:39
and you would just see a stream of people's lives
132
443546
2351
og man så ville se en strøm af menneskers liv
07:41
on that particular day from all over the world.
133
445897
1694
på den bestemte dag fra hele verden.
07:43
And I don't know, I think this project has a lot of possibilities,
134
447591
3222
Og ja, jeg ved det ikke, men jeg mener dette projekt har mange muligheder,
07:46
and I encourage you all to record just a small snippet of your life every day,
135
450813
3647
og jeg opfordrer jer alle til at optage bare en lille bid af hver dag af jeres liv,
07:50
so you can never forget that that day, you lived.
136
454460
1847
så man aldrig glemmer at man levede den dag.
07:52
Thank you.
137
456307
1704
Tak.
07:53
