My name is Amit.

2000
Minu nimi on Amit.
00:17
And 18 months ago, I had another job at Google,
1
2000
3000
18 kuud tagasi töötasin ma Google'is teises ametis
00:20
and I pitched this idea
2
5000
2000
ja hakkasin rääkima ideest
00:22
of doing something with museums and art
3
7000
3000
võtta midagi ette seoses muuseumide ja kunstiga
00:25
to my boss who's actually here,
4
10000
2000
oma bossile, kes on ka tegelikult siin,
00:27
and she allowed me to do it.
5
12000
2000
ja ta lubas mul seda teha.
00:29
And it took 18 months.
6
14000
2000
Selleks kulus 18 kuud.
00:31
A lot of fun, negotiations and stories, I can tell you,
7
16000
2000
Võiksin teile rääkida lõbusatest läbirääkimistest
00:33
with 17 very interesting museums from nine countries.
8
18000
3000
17 väga huvitava muuseumiga üheksast riigist.
00:36
But I'm going to focus on the demo.
9
21000
3000
Kuid ma keskendun parem demole.
00:39
There are a lot of stories about why we did this.
10
24000
3000
On mitu selgitust, miks me seda tegime,
00:42
I think my personal story is explained very simply on the slide,
11
27000
3000
aga minu isiklik põhjus on selgelt näha sellel slaidil -
00:45
and it's access.
12
30000
2000
kunsti kättesaadavus.
00:47
And I grew up in India.
13
32000
2000
Kasvasin üles Indias.
00:49
I had a great education -- I'm not complaining --
14
34000
3000
Ma sain hea hariduse - ma ei kurda -
00:52
but I didn't have access to a lot of these museums and these artworks.
15
37000
3000
kuid mul ei olnud ligipääsu paljudele muuseumidele ja kunstiteostele.
00:55
And so when I started traveling and going to these museums,
16
40000
3000
Kui ma hakkasin reisima ja neid muuseume külastama,
00:58
I started learning a lot.
17
43000
2000
õppisin ma väga palju.
01:00
And while working at Google,
18
45000
2000
Ja Google'is töötades
01:02
I tried to put this desire
19
47000
2000
püüan ma oma südamesoovi -
01:04
to make it more accessible with technology together.
20
49000
3000
muuta ligipääs kättesaadavamaks - ning tehnika ühte liita.
01:07
So we formed a team, a great team of people,
21
52000
3000
Panimegi kokku meeskonna suurepärastest inimestest
01:10
and we started doing this.
22
55000
2000
ja hakkasime pihta.
01:12
I'm going to probably get into the demo
23
57000
2000
Ma parem näitan teile demo
01:14
and then tell you a couple of the interesting things
24
59000
2000
ja räägin siis paar huvitavat asja,
01:16
we've had since launch.
25
61000
2000
mis meil on ette tulnud.
01:18
So, simple: you come to GoogleArtProject.com.
26
63000
4000
Niisiis - avate saidi GoogleArtProject.com.
01:22
You look around at all these museums here.
27
67000
2000
Te saate kõiki neid muuseume siin vaadata.
01:24
You've got the Uffizi, you've got the MoMA,
28
69000
2000
Siin on Uffizi, moodsa kunsti muuseum,
01:26
the Hermitage, the Rijks, the Van Gogh.
29
71000
2000
Ermitaaž, Rijks muuseum, Van Gogh.
01:28
I'm going to actually get to one of my favorites,
30
73000
3000
Ma lähen külastan nüüd üht oma lemmikut -
01:31
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
31
76000
3000
New Yorgi Metropolitan kunstimuuseumi.
01:34
Two ways of going in -- very simple.
32
79000
3000
Siseneda on väga lihtne.
01:37
Click and, bang, you're in this museum.
33
82000
2000
Üks hiireklikk ja hopsti! oledki muuseumis.
01:39
It doesn't matter where you are --
34
84000
2000
Pole mingit tähtsust, kus sa asud -
01:41
Bombay, Mexico, it doesn't really matter.
35
86000
2000
Mumbais, Mehhikos - see pole tähtis.
01:43
You move around, you have fun.
36
88000
2000
Sa liigud ringi, sul on põnev.
01:45
You want to navigate around the museum?
37
90000
2000
Tahate muuseumis ringi käia?
01:47
Open the plan up,
38
92000
2000
Võtke plaan lahti
01:49
and, in one click, jump.
39
94000
2000
ja hüpake - ühe hiireklikiga.
01:51
You're in there, you want to go to the end of the corridor.
40
96000
2000
Oletegi sees, nüüd tahate minna koridori lõppu.
01:53
Keep going. Have fun.
41
98000
2000
Minge. Nautige!
01:55
Explore.
42
100000
2000
Uurige.
01:57
(Applause)
43
102000
6000
(Aplaus)
02:03
Thanks. I haven't come to the best part.
44
108000
2000
Tänan. Ma pole parema osani veel jõudnud.
02:05
(Laughter)
45
110000
2000
(Naer)
02:07
So now I'm in front of one of my favorite paintings,
46
112000
3000
Nüüd olen ma ühe oma lemmikmaali ees,
02:10
"The Harvesters" by Pieter Bruegel at the Met.
47
115000
2000
Pieter Breugeli "Viljakoristajad" Metropolitanis.
02:12
I see this plus sign.
48
117000
2000
Siin on näha + märk.
02:14
If the museum has given us the image, you click on it.
49
119000
2000
Kui muuseum on meile pildi andnud, klikkige sellel.
02:16
Now this is one of the images.
50
121000
2000
See siin on üks piltidest.
02:18
So this is all of the meta-data information.
51
123000
2000
Kõrval on metaandmed.
02:20
For those of you who are truly interested in art,
52
125000
2000
Need, kes on kunstist tõeliselt huvitatud,
02:22
you can click this -- but I'm going to click this off right now.
53
127000
3000
saavad sellel klikkida - mina klikin selle praegu eest ära.
02:25
And this is one of these images that we captured
54
130000
2000
See on üks piltidest, mis on pildistatud
02:27
in what we call gigapixel technology.
55
132000
2000
nn gigapiksel-tehnoloogias.
02:29
So this image, for example,
56
134000
2000
See pilt on näiteks
02:31
has close to, I think, around 10 billion pixels.
57
136000
2000
umbes 10 miljardit pikslit.
02:33
And I get a lot of people asking me:
58
138000
2000
Paljud inimesed küsivad minult:
02:35
"What do you get for 10 billion pixels?"
59
140000
2000
"Mida see 10 miljardit pikslit annab?"
02:37
So I'm going to try and show you what you really get for 10 billion pixels.
60
142000
3000
Ma proovin nüüd teile näidata, mida 10 miljardit pikslit annab.
02:40
You can zoom around very simply.
61
145000
2000
Suumimine käib väga lihtsalt.
02:42
You see some fun stuff happening here.
62
147000
2000
Siin on väga lõbusad stseenid.
02:44
I love this guy; his expression is priceless.
63
149000
3000
See sell mulle hirmsasti meeldib, tema ilme on võrratu.
02:47
But then you really want to go deep.
64
152000
2000
Siis tuleb tuju tõesti sügavale pildi sisse minna.
02:49
And so I started playing around,
65
154000
2000
Ma hakkasin igal pool ringi vaatama
02:51
and I found something going on over here.
66
156000
3000
ja leidsin, et siin toimub midagi.
02:54
And I was like, "Hold on. That sounds interesting."
67
159000
3000
Mõtlesin endamisi: "Oot-oot, see tundub huvitav."
02:57
Went in, and I started noticing
68
162000
2000
Suumisin veel ja sain aru,
02:59
that these kids were actually beating something.
69
164000
3000
et need lapsed peksavad midagi.
03:02
I did a little research, spoke to a couple of my contacts at the Met,
70
167000
3000
Uurisin veidi, rääkisin paari tuttavaga muuseumist
03:05
and actually found out that this is a game
71
170000
2000
ja sain teada, et see on üks mäng,
03:07
called squall,
72
172000
2000
kus keppidega
03:09
which involves beating a goose with a stick
73
174000
2000
pekstakse hane
03:11
on Shrove Tuesday.
74
176000
2000
vastlapäeval.
03:13
And apparently it was quite popular.
75
178000
2000
See oli ilmselt üpris populaarne mäng.
03:15
I don't know why they did it,
76
180000
2000
Ma ei tea küll, miks nad seda tegid,
03:17
but I learned something about it.
77
182000
2000
kuid ma sain selle kohta üht-teist teada.
03:19
Now just to get really deep in, you can really get to the cracks.
78
184000
3000
Kui veel väga sügavale minna, jõuate pragudeni välja.
03:22
Now just to give you some perspective,
79
187000
2000
Et anda ettekujutust, kus me olime,
03:24
I'm going to zoom out so you really see what you get.
80
189000
3000
suumin ma nüüd välja, siis saate aru, mis kõik on võimalik.
03:27
Here is where we were,
81
192000
2000
Siin me olime -
03:29
and this is the painting.
82
194000
3000
ja see on terve maal.
03:32
(Applause)
83
197000
8000
(Aplaus)
03:40
The best is yet to come -- so in a second.
84
205000
3000
Need on alles õied - marjad kohe tulevad.
03:43
So now let's just quickly
85
208000
2000
Hüppame nüüd kiiresti
03:45
jump into the MoMA, again in New York.
86
210000
3000
New Yorgi moodsa kunsti muuseumi.
03:48
So another one of my favorites, "The Starry Night."
87
213000
2000
Veel üks minu lemmikutest, "Tähine öö".
03:50
Now the example I showed you was all about finding details.
88
215000
3000
Eelmises näites avastasime detaile.
03:53
But what if you want to see brush strokes?
89
218000
2000
Aga äkki te tahaksite näha pintslilööke?
03:55
And what if you want to see
90
220000
2000
Äkki tahate näha,
03:57
how Van Gogh actually created this masterpiece?
91
222000
2000
kuidas Van Gogh tegelikult oma šedöövri maalis?
03:59
You zoom in. You really go in.
92
224000
2000
Te suumite sügavale pildi sisse.
04:01
I'm going to go to one of my favorite parts in this painting,
93
226000
3000
Ma lähen oma lemmikkohta sellel maalil.
04:04
and I'm really going to get to the cracks.
94
229000
3000
Ma lähen tõesti pragudeni välja.
04:07
This is "The Starry Night,"
95
232000
2000
See on "Tähine öö",
04:09
I think, never seen like this before.
96
234000
3000
mida keegi pole enne sellisena näinud.
04:12
I'm going to show you my other favorite feature.
97
237000
2000
Ma näitan teile veel üht oma lemmikvõimalust.
04:14
There's a lot of other stuff here, but I don't have time.
98
239000
2000
Siin on palju muud, kuid mul pole aega.
04:16
This is the real cool part. It's called Collections.
99
241000
3000
See on eriti äge osa. Selle nimi on Kunstikogud.
04:19
Any one of you, anybody --
100
244000
2000
Ükskõik kes teist, igaüks -
04:21
doesn't matter if you're rich, if you're poor,
101
246000
2000
ei tähenda, oled sa rikas või vaene,
04:23
if you have a fancy house -- doesn't matter.
102
248000
3000
on sul uhke maja või mitte - pole vahet.
04:26
You can go and create your own museum online --
103
251000
2000
Sa võid luua endale internetis oma muuseumi -
04:28
create your own collection across all these images.
104
253000
3000
omaenda kunstikogu, tehes valiku kõigi piltide hulgast.
04:31
Very simply, you go in --
105
256000
2000
Väga lihtne, sisened -
04:33
and I've created this, called The Power of Zoom --
106
258000
2000
ma tegin nn Power of Zoom võimaluse -
04:35
you can just zoom around.
107
260000
2000
saate suumides liikuda.
04:37
This is "The Ambassadors," based in the National Gallery.
108
262000
2000
See on "Saadikud", mis asub Rahvusgaleriis.
04:39
You can annotate the stuff, send it to your friends
109
264000
3000
Te saate kirjutada arvustusi, saata sõpradele,
04:42
and really get a conversation going
110
267000
2000
tekitada arutelu selle üle,
04:44
about what you're feeling
111
269000
2000
mida te tunnete
04:46
when you go through these masterpieces.
112
271000
2000
neid meistriteoseid vaadates.
04:48
So I think, in conclusion,
113
273000
2000
Kokkuvõtteks,
04:50
for me, the main thing
114
275000
2000
minu meelest on põhiline,
04:52
is that all the amazing stuff here does not really come from Google.
115
277000
3000
et see fantastiline asi ei tule tegelikult mitte Google'ilt.
04:55
It doesn't, in my opinion, even come from the museums.
116
280000
2000
See ei tule minu arvates isegi mitte muuseumidelt.
04:57
I probably shouldn't say that.
117
282000
2000
Ma ei tohiks seda vist küll öelda.
04:59
It really comes from these artists.
118
284000
2000
Vaid see tuleb tegelikult neilt kunstnikelt.
05:01
And that's been my humbling experience in this.
119
286000
3000
Ja see on minus aukartust tekitanud.
05:04
I mean, I hope in this digital medium
120
289000
2000
Ma tahan loota, et selle digitaalse vahenduse kaudu
05:06
that we do justice to their artwork
121
291000
2000
me kohtleme neid kunstiteoseid õiglaselt
05:08
and represent it properly online.
122
293000
3000
ja esitleme neid väärikalt internetis.
05:11
And the biggest question I get asked nowadays
123
296000
2000
Suurim küsimus, mida mulle ikka esitatakse, on:
05:13
is, "Did you do this
124
298000
2000
"Kas tegite seda selleks,
05:15
to replicate the experience of going to a museum?"
125
300000
2000
et matkida muuseumis käimise elamust?"
05:17
And the answer is no.
126
302000
2000
Vastus on - ei.
05:19
It's to supplement the experience.
127
304000
2000
See on mõeldud elamust täiendama.
05:21
And that's it. Thank you.
128
306000
2000
See ongi kõik. Tänan teid.
05:23
(Applause)
129
308000
2000
(Aplaus)
05:25
Thank you.
130
310000
2000
Tänan.
05:27
(Applause)
131
312000
