I'm a creative technologist

0
2000
Ja sam kreativni tehnolog
00:20
and the focus of my work is on public installations.
1
2000
5000
i fokus moga rada je na javnim instalacijama.
00:25
One of my driving passions
2
7000
3000
A jedna od strasti koje me vode
00:28
is this idea of exploring nature,
3
10000
2000
je ideja o istraživanju prirode,
00:30
and trying to find hidden data within nature.
4
12000
2000
i nastojanja pronalaženja skrivenih podataka u prirodi.
00:32
It seems to me that there is
5
14000
3000
Čini mi se da postoji
00:35
this latent potential everywhere, all around us.
6
17000
2000
takav latentni potencijal posvuda, svugdje oko nas.
00:37
Everything gives out some kind of data,
7
19000
2000
Sve nam pruža neke podatke,
00:39
whether it's sound or smell or vibration.
8
21000
3000
bila riječ o zvuku ili mirisu ili vibracijama.
00:42
Through my work, I've been
9
24000
2000
U svojem poslu pokušavao sam
00:44
trying to find ways to harness and unveil this.
10
26000
4000
otkriti načine kako ih iskoristiti i razotkriti.
00:48
And so this basically led me to
11
30000
3000
I tako, to me, u biti, odvelo
00:51
a subject called cymatics.
12
33000
2000
u područje pod nazivom simatika.
00:53
Now, cymatics is the process of visualizing sound
13
35000
5000
Simatika je proces vizualizacije zvuka
00:58
by basically vibrating a medium such as sand or water,
14
40000
4000
putem izazivanja vibracija u mediju poput pijeska ili vode,
01:02
as you can see there.
15
44000
2000
kao što možete vidjeti ovdje.
01:04
So, if we have a quick look at the history of cymatics
16
46000
3000
Da bacimo kratak pogled na povijest simatike
01:07
beginning with the observations of resonance,
17
49000
2000
koja je počela s promatranjem rezonancije,
01:09
by Da Vinci, Galileo, the English scientist Robert Hook
18
51000
4000
od strane Da Vincija, Galilea, engleskog znanstvenika Roberta Hooka,
01:13
and then Ernest Chladni.
19
55000
2000
i potom Ernesta Chladnija.
01:15
He created an experiment using a metal plate,
20
57000
3000
On je uradio eksperiment koristeći metalnu ploču,
01:18
covering it with sand and then bowing it
21
60000
3000
prekrivajući je pijeskom i zatim je savijajući,
01:21
to create the Chladni patterns that you see here on the right.
22
63000
5000
da izazove Chladni obrasce koje vidite na desnoj strani.
01:26
Moving on from this, the next person to explore this field
23
68000
3000
Nakon toga, sljedeća osoba koja je istraživala ovo polje
01:29
was a gentleman called Hans Jenny in the 1970s.
24
71000
2000
bio je gospodin Hans Jenny u 1970-tima.
01:31
He actually coined the term cymatics.
25
73000
3000
On je zapravo bio taj koji je skovao izraz simatika.
01:34
Then bringing us into the present day
26
76000
2000
A zatim dolazimo do današnjeg dana
01:36
is a fellow collaborator of mine
27
78000
2000
i moga kolegu suradnika,
01:38
and cymatics expert, John Stewart Reed.
28
80000
3000
stručnjaka za simatiku, Johna Stewarta Reeda.
01:41
He's kindly recreated for us
29
83000
2000
On je za nas ljubazno ponovio
01:43
the Chladni experiment.
30
85000
2000
eksperiment Chladnija.
01:45
What we can see here is
31
87000
2000
Ovdje vidimo
01:47
the metal sheet, this time connected to a sound driver
32
89000
3000
metalnu ploču, sada povezanu sa zvučnim uređajem,
01:50
and being fed by a frequency generator.
33
92000
2000
i napajanom pomoću generatora frekvencija.
01:52
As the frequencies increase,
34
94000
2000
Kako se frekvencije povećavaju,
01:54
so do the complexities of the patterns that appear on the plate.
35
96000
3000
tako se usložnjavaju obrasci koji se pojavljuju na ploči.
01:57
As you can see with your own eyes.
36
99000
5000
Kao što možete vidjeti vlastitim očima.
02:02
(Applause)
37
104000
4000
(Pljesak)
02:06
So, what excites me about cymatics?
38
108000
3000
Dakle, što me oduševljava kod simatike?
02:09
Well, for me cymatics is an almost magical tool.
39
111000
3000
Za mene, simatika je gotovo magično oruđe.
02:12
It's like a looking glass into a hidden world.
40
114000
4000
Ona je poput povećala u skriveni svijet.
02:16
Through the numerous ways that we can apply cymatics,
41
118000
3000
I pomoću različitih načina na koje je možemo primijeniti,
02:19
we can actually start to unveil the substance of things not seen.
42
121000
5000
možemo zapravo početi razotkrivati suštinu stvari koje ne vidimo.
02:24
Devices like the cymascope, which you can see here,
43
126000
2000
Uređaji poput simaskopa kojega vidite ovdje,
02:26
have been used to scientifically observe cymatic patterns.
44
128000
4000
koriste se za znanstveno promatranje simatičkih obrazaca.
02:30
And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.
45
132000
3000
A popis znanstvenih primjena raste svakodnevno.
02:33
For example, in oceanography,
46
135000
3000
Na primjer, u oceanografiji,
02:36
a lexicon of dolphin language is actually being created
47
138000
3000
doista sklapaju leksikon jezika dupina
02:39
by basically visualizing the sonar beams that the dolphins emit.
48
141000
3000
tako što vizualiziraju sonarne zrake koje dupin odašilje.
02:42
And hopefully in the future we'll be able to gain some deeper understanding
49
144000
3000
I nadamo se da ćemo u budućnosti moći steći dublje razumijevanje
02:45
of how they communicate.
50
147000
2000
njihove komunikacije.
02:47
We can also use cymatics for healing and education.
51
149000
2000
Simatiku možemo koristiti i za liječenje i obrazovanje.
02:49
This is an installation developed with school children,
52
151000
2000
Ovo je instalacija razvijena sa školskom djecom.
02:51
where their hands are tracked. It allows them
53
153000
2000
Prate se pokreti njihovih ruku. To im omogućava
02:53
to control and position cymatic patterns
54
155000
2000
da kontroliraju i usmjeravaju simatičke obrasce
02:55
and the reflections that are caused by them.
55
157000
3000
i refleksije koje sami uzrokuju.
02:58
We can also use cymatics as a beautiful natural art form.
56
160000
3000
Također možemo koristiti simatiku i kao lijepi prirodni umjetnički oblik.
03:01
This image here is created from a snippet
57
163000
3000
Ova slika ovdje je stvorena od isječka
03:04
of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony playing through a cymatic device.
58
166000
4000
Beethovenove devete simfonije puštene kroz simatički uređaj.
03:08
So it kind of flips things on its head a little bit.
59
170000
3000
Na neki način ona pomalo izvrće stvari naglavačke.
03:11
This is Pink Floyd's "Machine"
60
173000
2000
A ovo je "Machine" Pink Floyda
03:13
playing in real time through the cymascope.
61
175000
3000
koja svira u stvarnom vremenu kroz simaskop.
03:21
We can also use cymatics as a looking glass into nature.
62
183000
3000
Isto tako, možemo koristiti simatiku i kao povećalo za prirodu.
03:24
And we can actually recreate the archetypal forms of nature.
63
186000
3000
I možemo zapravo ponovno stvoriti arhetipske oblike u prirodi.
03:27
So, for example, here on the left we can see a snowflake as it would appear in nature.
64
189000
4000
Na primjer, na lijevoj strani možemo vidjeti pahuljicu kako bi izgledala u prirodi.
03:31
Then on the right we can see a cymatically created snowflake.
65
193000
3000
A na desnoj vidimo pahuljicu stvorenu simatikom.
03:34
And here is a starfish and a cymatic starfish.
66
196000
2000
A evo i ribe zvijezde i simatičke ribe zvijezde.
03:36
And there is thousands of these.
67
198000
2000
A ima na tisuće ovakvih primjera.
03:38
So what does this all mean?
68
200000
2000
Pa, što sve to znači?
03:40
Well, there is still a lot to explore
69
202000
3000
Pa, još uvijek je ostalo puno za istražiti.
03:43
in its early days. And there's not many people working in this field.
70
205000
2000
U ranoj smo fazi. I nema mnogo ljudi koji rade u ovom polju.
03:45
But consider for a moment that sound does have form.
71
207000
4000
Ali uzmite u obzir za trenutak da zvuk ima oblik.
03:49
We've seen that it can affect matter and cause form within matter.
72
211000
4000
A vidjeli smo da može djelovati na materiju i uzrokovati oblikovanje materije.
03:53
Then sort of take a leap and think about the universe forming.
73
215000
4000
A zatim skočite, da tako kažem, i pomislite na oblikovanje svemira.
03:57
And think about the immense sound of the universe forming.
74
219000
3000
I pomislite na silan zvuk svemira u izgradnji.
04:00
And if we kind of ponder on that, then perhaps
75
222000
2000
Ako o tome razmislimo, onda je možda
04:02
cymatics had an influence on the formation of the universe itself.
76
224000
5000
simatika utjecala i na oblikovanje samog svemira.
04:07
And here is some eye candy for you, from a range of
77
229000
2000
A evo nečega lijepoga za vas, od raznih
04:09
DIY scientists and artists
78
231000
2000
„uradi sam“ znanstvenika i umjetnika
04:11
from all over the globe.
79
233000
2000
sa svih strana zemaljske kugle.
04:13
Cymatics is accessible to everybody.
80
235000
2000
Simatika je dostupna svima.
04:15
I want to urge everybody here to
81
237000
2000
Želio bih potaknuti svakoga ovdje
04:17
apply your passion, your knowledge
82
239000
3000
da primijeni svoju strast, svoje znanje
04:20
and your skills to areas like cymatics.
83
242000
2000
i svoje vještine u područja poput simatike.
04:22
I think collectively we can build a global community.
84
244000
3000
I mislim da kolektivno možemo izgraditi globalnu zajednicu.
04:25
We can inspire each other.
85
247000
2000
Možemo inspirirati jedni druge.
04:27
And we can evolve this exploration
86
249000
2000
I možemo razviti ovo istraživanje
04:29
of the substance of things not seen. Thank you.
87
251000
2000
o suštini stvari koje ne vidimo. Hvala vam.
04:31
(Applause)
