U umetničkoj školi, ruka Fila Hensena počela je da podrhtava i to ga je sprečavalo da se bavi slikarstvom koje je toliko voleo. Hensen je bio van sebe i nije se više osećao korisnim. To osećanje je trajalo sve dok mu neurolog nije preporučio da sebe prihvati u potpunosti i da se uzdigne iznad te svoje mane koju je do tada shvatao samo kao jedno veliko ograničenje.

So, when I was in art school,
0

1789
Kada sam bio u umetničkoj školi,
00:14
I developed a shake in my hand,
1
2665
1419
počela je da mi podrhtava ruka,
00:16
and this was the straightest line I could draw.
2
4084
3032
i ovako je izgledala najbolja prava linija
koju sam umeo da nacrtam.
koju sam umeo da nacrtam.
00:19
Now in hindsight, it was actually good for some things,

2651
Kada se osvrnem na taj period,
moja ruka bila je za neke stvari korisna.
moja ruka bila je za neke stvari korisna.
00:21
like mixing a can of paint or shaking a Polaroid,

3189
Na primer, za mućkanje kantice
sa farbom ili sušenje polaroid slike.
sa farbom ili sušenje polaroid slike.
00:24
but at the time this was really doomsday.
5
12956
2698
Ali u isto vreme bila je i mana
00:27
This was the destruction of my dream of becoming an artist.
6
15654
3617
koja je sprečavala da postanem umetnik.
00:31
The shake developed out of, really,
7
19271
2370
Podrhtavanje ruke nastalo je iz moje želje
00:33
a single-minded pursuit of pointillism,
8
21641
1907
da što bolje razumem
posebnu slikarsku tehniku - pointilizam,
posebnu slikarsku tehniku - pointilizam,
00:35
just years of making tiny, tiny dots.
9
23548
2554
iz godina crtanja vrlo malih tačaka.
00:38
And eventually these dots went from being perfectly round
10
26102
3894
Vremenom ove moje tačke
zbog podrhtavanja ruke
zbog podrhtavanja ruke
00:41
to looking more like tadpoles, because of the shake.
11
29996
3688
izgledale su više kao mrlje.
00:45
So to compensate, I'd hold the pen tighter,
12
33684
2245
Da bih to ispravio,
počeo sam jako da stiskam olovku,
počeo sam jako da stiskam olovku,
00:47
and this progressively made the shake worse,
13
35929
2315
zbog čega mi je ruka sve više drhtala
00:50
so I'd hold the pen tighter still.
14
38244
2272
i zbog čega sam ja nastavio
još vise da stiskam olovku.
još vise da stiskam olovku.
00:52
And this became a vicious cycle that ended up
15
40516
2216
Ovaj proces se vrteo u krug,
00:54
causing so much pain and joint issues,
16
42732
2224
ruka me je bolela
i imao sam problem sa tetivama.
i imao sam problem sa tetivama.
00:56
I had trouble holding anything.
17
44956
2216
Nisam skoro ništa mogao da držim.
00:59
And after spending all my life wanting to do art,
18
47172
3385
Nakon moje silne želje
da postanem slikar,
da postanem slikar,
01:02
I left art school, and then I left art completely.
19
50557
4611
napustio sam umetničku školu
i potom u potpunosti i samo slikanje.
i potom u potpunosti i samo slikanje.
01:07
But after a few years, I just couldn't stay away from art,
20
55168
2460
Nakon nekoliko godina,
nisam mogao više da izdržim bez umetnosti.
nisam mogao više da izdržim bez umetnosti.
01:09
and I decided to go to a neurologist about the shake
21
57628
2292
Obratio sam se neurologu
01:11
and discovered I had permanent nerve damage.
22
59920
2860
koji mi je rekao
da sam u potpunosti oštetio živac u ruci.
da sam u potpunosti oštetio živac u ruci.
01:14
And he actually took one look at my squiggly line,
23
62780
2729
Potom je video
jednu od krivih linija koju sam nacrtao i rekao:
jednu od krivih linija koju sam nacrtao i rekao:
01:17
and said, "Well, why don't you just embrace the shake?"
24
65509
3423
"Zašto ne bi prihvatio sebe
takvim kakav jesi?"
takvim kakav jesi?"
01:20
So I did. I went home, I grabbed a pencil,
25
68932
2610
Poslušao sam ga.
Otišao sam kući, uzeo olovku
Otišao sam kući, uzeo olovku
01:23
and I just started letting my hand shake and shake.
26
71542
1908
i dopustio mojoj ruci da se trese.
01:25
I was making all these scribble pictures.
27
73450
2094
Nacrtao sam nekoliko skica
drhtavom rukom.
drhtavom rukom.
01:27
And even though it wasn't the kind of art
28
75544
1830
Iako moje skice nisu bile
nalik slikama
nalik slikama
01:29
that I was ultimately passionate about, it felt great.
29
77374
3656
kojima sam se divio,
osećao sam se odlično.
osećao sam se odlično.
01:33
And more importantly, once I embraced the shake,
30
81030
2479
Što je još važnije,
kada sam prihvatio sebe u potpunosti,
kada sam prihvatio sebe u potpunosti,
01:35
I realized I could still make art.
31
83509
2375
shvatio sam da mogu
da nastavim da slikam.
da nastavim da slikam.
01:37
I just had to find a different approach
32
85884
1270
Trebalo je samo da nađem
drukčiji pristup
drukčiji pristup
01:39
to making the art that I wanted.
33
87154
2353
kako bih mogao da slikam
onako kako sam ja to želeo.
onako kako sam ja to želeo.
01:41
Now, I still enjoyed the fragmentation of pointillism,
34
89507
2840
Jos uvek uživam u pointilizmu
01:44
seeing these little tiny dots come together
35
92347
1829
gledajući kako se te male tačke
grupišu u veće,
grupišu u veće,
01:46
to make this unified whole.
36
94176
1981
a potom i u jednu celinu.
01:48
So I began experimenting with other ways to fragment images
37
96157
2951
Potom sam počeo
da eksperimentišem sa drugim načinima slikanja
da eksperimentišem sa drugim načinima slikanja
01:51
where the shake wouldn't affect the work,
38
99108
2178
kod kojih podrhtaj ruke
ne bi uticao na kvalitet slike.
ne bi uticao na kvalitet slike.
01:53
like dipping my feet in paint and walking on a canvas,
39
101286
4477
Kao, na primer,
slikanje pomoću stopala
slikanje pomoću stopala
01:57
or, in a 3D structure consisting of two-by-fours,
40
105763
3698
ili slikanje trodimenzionog objekta
02:01
creating a 2D image by burning it with a blowtorch.
41
109461
5463
koji bi postao dvodimenzioni
koristeći posebnu tehniku paljenja.
koristeći posebnu tehniku paljenja.
02:06
I discovered that, if I worked on a larger scale and with bigger materials,
42
114924
3344
Shvatio sam da ako budem radio
sa većim materijalima,
sa većim materijalima,
02:10
my hand really wouldn't hurt,
43
118268
2408
ruka me neće boleti.
02:12
and after having gone from a single approach to art,
44
120676
3600
Nakon mog jednosmernog
shvatanja umetnosti,
shvatanja umetnosti,
02:16
I ended up having an approach to creativity
45
124276
2251
razvio sam neki
potpuno drugi oblik kreativnosti
potpuno drugi oblik kreativnosti
02:18
that completely changed my artistic horizons.
46
126527
3701
koji je promenio
moj pogled na umetnost.
moj pogled na umetnost.
02:22
This was the first time I'd encountered this idea
47
130228
1920
Tada sam prvi put video
02:24
that embracing a limitation could actually drive creativity.
48
132148
5472
da ako prihvatim svoju manu
mogu da postanem kreativniji.
mogu da postanem kreativniji.
02:29
At the time, I was finishing up school,
49
137620
2416
U tom periodu je trebalo
da završim umetničku školu
da završim umetničku školu
02:32
and I was so excited to get a real job and finally afford new art supplies.
50
140036
3608
i bio sam uzbuđen jer ću se zaposliti
i moći da kupim slikarski pribor.
i moći da kupim slikarski pribor.
02:35
I had this horrible little set of tools, and I felt like
51
143644
3761
Do tada sam imao samo skroman pribor
i osećao sam
i osećao sam
02:39
I could do so much more with the supplies
52
147405
2110
da bih uz pomoć pravog pribora,
02:41
I thought an artist was supposed to have.
53
149515
2532
koji bi svaki umetnik trebalo da ima,
mogao postići znatno više.
mogao postići znatno više.
02:44
I actually didn't even have a regular pair of scissors.
54
152047
2205
Nisam čak imao ni prave makaze.
02:46
I was using these metal shears until I stole a pair
55
154252
2512
Koristio sam neke neprilagođene
sve dok jedne nisam ukrao
sve dok jedne nisam ukrao
02:48
from the office that I worked at.
56
156764
2248
iz kancelarije u kojoj sam radio.
02:51
So I got out of school, I got a job, I got a paycheck,
57
159012
2932
Završio sam školu,
dobio sam posao, a sa njim i prvi ček
dobio sam posao, a sa njim i prvi ček
02:53
I got myself to the art store,
58
161944
1654
i hitro sam otišao do radnje
02:55
and I just went nuts buying supplies.
59
163598
3114
gde sam kupio mnogo toga za slikanje.
02:58
And then when I got home, I sat down
60
166712
1628
Kada sam došao kući,
03:00
and I set myself to task to really try to create something
61
168340
3108
zadao sam sebi zadatak
03:03
just completely outside of the box.
62
171448
2764
da nacrtam nešto zaista neobično.
03:06
But I sat there for hours, and nothing came to mind.
63
174212
4424
Uzaludno sam satima sedeo.
03:10
The same thing the next day, and then the next,
64
178636
2547
Isto se ponovilo i sutradan
i dan nakon toga,
i dan nakon toga,
03:13
quickly slipping into a creative slump.
65
181183
3689
a ja sam počeo da gubim veru u sebe.
03:16
And I was in a dark place for a long time, unable to create.
66
184872
4248
Dugo je trajao ovaj osećaj.
03:21
And it didn't make any sense, because I was finally able
67
189120
2574
Nije imalo smisla,
jer napokon sam mogao da se izdržavam
jer napokon sam mogao da se izdržavam
03:23
to support my art, and yet I was creatively blank.
68
191694
4374
ali je to bilo nebitno.
Nisam bio kreativan.
Nisam bio kreativan.
03:28
But as I searched around in the darkness,
69
196068
2212
Kada sam počeo da analiziram svoj osećaj,
03:30
I realized I was actually paralyzed by all of the choices
70
198280
3528
shvatio sam da me je mučio
silan broj mogućnosti
silan broj mogućnosti
03:33
that I never had before.
71
201808
2568
koje ranije nisam imao.
03:36
And it was then that I thought back to my jittery hands.
72
204376
3723
Tada sam se setio mog drhtanja
i poruke
i poruke
03:40
Embrace the shake.
73
208099
2717
''Prihvati sebe''.
03:42
And I realized, if I ever wanted my creativity back,
74
210816
2676
Shvatio sam da ako želim
da povratim moju kreativnost,
da povratim moju kreativnost,
03:45
I had to quit trying so hard to think outside of the box
75
213492
3764
treba da prestanem sebe da silim
u želji da nacrtam nešto neobično.
u želji da nacrtam nešto neobično.
03:49
and get back into it.
76
217256
2716
Treba samo da počnem sa običnim.
03:51
I wondered, could you become more creative, then,
77
219972
2086
Razmišljao sam da li čovek
postaje kreativan
postaje kreativan
03:54
by looking for limitations?
78
222058
2898
ako traga za svojim manama.
03:56
What if I could only create with a dollar's worth of supplies?
79
224956
5181
Šta recimo ako imam mogućnost
da slikam koristeći samo vrlo jeftin pribor?
da slikam koristeći samo vrlo jeftin pribor?
04:02
At this point, I was spending a lot of my evenings in --
80
230137
2273
U tom periodu često sam
večeri provodio u kafiću Starbaks
večeri provodio u kafiću Starbaks
04:04
well, I guess I still spend a lot of my evenings in Starbucks —
81
232410
2773
gde idem i dan danas.
04:07
but I know you can ask for an extra cup if you want one,
82
235183
3208
Ako vam treba, možete uzeti
dodatnu čašu
dodatnu čašu
04:10
so I decided to ask for 50.
83
238391
2393
pa sam naručio 50.
04:12
Surprisingly, they just handed them right over,
84
240784
1783
Iznenađujuće, svih 50 su mi dali.
04:14
and then with some pencils I already had,
85
242567
1988
Potom sam uz pomoć olovaka
04:16
I made this project for only 80 cents.
86
244555
3180
nacrtao nešto uz pomoć pribora
koji me je koštao samo 80 centi.
koji me je koštao samo 80 centi.
04:19
It really became a moment of clarification for me
87
247735
2536
Postalo mi je jasno
04:22
that we need to first be limited
88
250271
2880
da čoveku nešto
prvo treba da bude oduzeto
prvo treba da bude oduzeto
04:25
in order to become limitless.
89
253151
3048
kako bi shvatio da ga to oduzeto
ne može sprečiti da se ostvari.
ne može sprečiti da se ostvari.
04:28
I took this approach of thinking inside the box
90
256199
2008
Potom sam počeo da razmišljam
04:30
to my canvas, and wondered what if, instead of
91
258207
1903
šta ako nacrtam nešto obično,
04:32
painting on a canvas, I could only paint on my chest?
92
260110
3329
ali ne na platnu već na svojim grudima.
04:35
So I painted 30 images, one layer at a time,
93
263439
2584
Pa sam nacrtao 30 skica,
sloj po sloj,
sloj po sloj,
04:38
one on top of another,
94
266023
1200
jedna na drugu.
04:39
with each picture representing an influence in my life.
95
267223
4500
Svaka je predstavljala
neki događaj u mom životu.
neki događaj u mom životu.
04:43
Or what if, instead of painting with a brush,
96
271723
2652
Ili recimo,
šta ako umesto četkice,
šta ako umesto četkice,
04:46
I could only paint with karate chops? (Laughter)
97
274375
2752
počnem da slikam koristeći
pokrete kao u karateu? (Smeh)
pokrete kao u karateu? (Smeh)
04:49
So I'd dip my hands in paint,
98
277127
1476
Umočio sam ruke u farbu
04:50
and I just attacked the canvas,
99
278603
1420
i napao sam platno
04:52
and I actually hit so hard that I bruised a joint in my pinkie
100
280023
2709
toliko da sam dobio masnice
na malom prstu
na malom prstu
04:54
and it was stuck straight for a couple of weeks.
101
282732
2932
i nisam mogao da ga
pomerim nekoliko nedelja.
pomerim nekoliko nedelja.
04:57
(Laughter) (Applause)
102
285664
3363
(Smeh) (Aplauz)
05:01
Or, what if instead of relying on myself,
103
289027
4205
Ili recimo,
šta ako se umesto na sebe,
šta ako se umesto na sebe,
05:05
I had to rely on other people
104
293232
1933
oslonim na druge
05:07
to create the content for the art?
105
295165
2652
kako bi mi pomogli
da dobijem nove ideje?
da dobijem nove ideje?
05:09
So for six days, I lived in front of a webcam.
106
297817
2791
Šest dana sam sedeo
ispred laptop kamere,
ispred laptop kamere,
05:12
I slept on the floor and I ate takeout,
107
300608
2640
spavao sam na podu
i neredovno jeo,
i neredovno jeo,
05:15
and I asked people to call me and share a story with me
108
303248
2305
i tražio od ljudi
da sa mnom podele priču
da sa mnom podele priču
05:17
about a life-changing moment.
109
305553
2683
koja im je promenila život.
05:20
Their stories became the art
110
308236
2452
Njihove priče postale su umetnost
05:22
as I wrote them onto the revolving canvas.
111
310688
3512
jer sam njihove reči
ispisivao na platno koje se okreće.
ispisivao na platno koje se okreće.
05:26
(Applause)
112
314200
4465
(Aplauz)
05:30
Or what if instead of making art to display,
113
318665
4496
Šta recimo da
umesto izlaganja umetničkih dela
umesto izlaganja umetničkih dela
05:35
I had to destroy it?
114
323161
2263
ja odlučim da ih uništim
kada ih nacrtam?
kada ih nacrtam?
05:37
This seemed like the ultimate limitation,
115
325424
2272
Za mene je to izgledalo
vrlo interesantno,
vrlo interesantno,
05:39
being an artist without art.
116
327696
2492
biti umetnik bez svog dela.
05:42
This destruction idea turned into a yearlong project
117
330188
2548
Ova ideja pratila me je godinu dana.
05:44
that I called Goodbye Art,
118
332736
1353
Pretvorila se u projekat
koji sam zvao "Zbogom umetnosti".
koji sam zvao "Zbogom umetnosti".
05:46
where each and every piece of art had to be destroyed after its creation.
119
334089
4696
Svako delo uništavao bih
nakon njegove izrade.
nakon njegove izrade.
05:50
In the beginning of Goodbye Art, I focused on
120
338785
1491
U početku ovog projekta
nastojao sam
nastojao sam
05:52
forced destruction, like this image of Jimi Hendrix,
121
340276
2727
da na silu uništim dela
kao recimo ovog Džimija Hendriksa
kao recimo ovog Džimija Hendriksa
05:55
made with over 7,000 matches.
122

od 7000 šibica.
od 7000 šibica.
05:57
(Laughter)
123
345808
1166
(Smeh)
05:58
Then I opened it up to creating art that was destroyed naturally.
124
346974
3189
Potom sam pravio dela
koja bi se prirodnim putem uništila.
koja bi se prirodnim putem uništila.
06:02
I looked for temporary materials,
125
350163
2613
Tragao sam za kratkotrajnim materijalima,
06:04
like spitting out food --
126
352776
2174
kao recimo pljuvanje hrane -
06:06
(Laughter) —
127
354950
4062
(Smeh)
06:11
sidewalk chalk
128
359012
3213
kreda sa trotoara
06:14
and even frozen wine.
129
362225
4536
ili čak zamrznuto vino.
06:18
The last iteration of destruction
130
366761
2061
Poslednji deo projekta
06:20
was to try to produce something that didn't actually exist in the first place.
131
368822
4043
bio je da napravim nešto
što uopšte nikada nije ni postojalo.
što uopšte nikada nije ni postojalo.
06:24
So I organized candles on a table, I lit them, and then blew them out,
132
372865
3343
Postavio sam sveće na sto,
zapalio ih, a potom i ugasio.
zapalio ih, a potom i ugasio.
06:28
then repeated this process over and over with the same set of candles,
133
376208
3640
Potom sam isto to ponovio
sa istim brojem sveća,
sa istim brojem sveća,
06:31
then assembled the videos into the larger image.
134
379848
3913
a zatim od toga napravio veću sliku.
06:35
So the end image was never visible as a physical whole.
135
383761
4519
Ona nije
sama po sebi nikada postojala.
sama po sebi nikada postojala.
06:40
It was destroyed before it ever existed.
136
388280
3842
Bila je uništena
pre nego što je i nastala.
pre nego što je i nastala.
06:44
In the course of this Goodbye Art series,
137
392122
2486
Tokom mog projekta
"Zbogom umetnosti",
"Zbogom umetnosti",
06:46
I created 23 different pieces
138
394608
2832
napravio sam 23 različita dela,
06:49
with nothing left to physically display.
139
397440
3312
a ništa iza njih nije ostalo.
06:52
What I thought would be the ultimate limitation
140
400752
2424
Ono što sam smatrao
za ograničenost
za ograničenost
06:55
actually turned out to be the ultimate liberation,
141
403176
2928
postalo je sloboda.
06:58
as each time I created,
142
406104
2203
Svaki put kada bih nešto stvorio,
07:00
the destruction brought me back to a neutral place
143
408307
2012
proces uništenja
me je doveo na neutralno mesto
me je doveo na neutralno mesto
07:02
where I felt refreshed and ready to start the next project.
144
410319
4285
gde sam se osećao spremnim
da započnem novo delo.
da započnem novo delo.
07:06
It did not happen overnight.
145
414604
2356
Naravno, nije sve ovo išlo sa lakoćom.
07:08
There were times when my projects failed to get off the ground,
146
416960
2051
Bilo je momenata kada
nisam bio motivisan da radim
nisam bio motivisan da radim
07:11
or, even worse, after spending tons of time on them
147
419011
2789
ili još gore,
kada sam određeno vreme proveo radeći
kada sam određeno vreme proveo radeći
07:13
the end image was kind of embarrassing.
148
421800
2512
ali je krajnji rezultat bio mizeran.
07:16
But having committed to the process, I continued on,
149
424312
2720
Ali, pošto sam sebi zadao cilj,
nastavio sam
nastavio sam
07:19
and something really surprising came out of this.
150
427032
2011
i nešto iznenađujuće
je proizašlo iz svega ovoga.
je proizašlo iz svega ovoga.
07:21
As I destroyed each project,
151
429043
2966
Kako sam uništavao dela,
07:24
I was learning to let go,
152
432009
2832
učio sam da se odvojim od stvari
07:26
let go of outcomes, let go of failures,
153
434841
3511
od krajnjeg cilja,
neuspeha
neuspeha
07:30
and let go of imperfections.
154
438352
2523
i mana.
07:32
And in return, I found a process of creating art
155
440875
2429
Za uzvrat našao sam proces
stvaranja umetnosti
stvaranja umetnosti
07:35
that's perpetual and unencumbered by results.
156
443304
4225
koji je neograničen
i na koji ne utiče krajnji rezultat
i na koji ne utiče krajnji rezultat
07:39
I found myself in a state of constant creation,
157
447529
2029
Postao sam motivisan
07:41
thinking only of what's next
158
449558
2498
i stalno razmišljao
šta ću sledeće da nacrtam i stvorim.
šta ću sledeće da nacrtam i stvorim.
07:44
and coming up with more ideas than ever.
159
452056
2896
Imao sam napokon silne ideje.
07:46
When I think back to my three years away from art,
160
454952
2485
Kada počnem da mislim
o moje tri godine tokom kojih nisam stvarao,
o moje tri godine tokom kojih nisam stvarao,
07:49
away from my dream, just going through the motions,
161
457437
3251
tokom kojih sam bio daleko od mog sna
radeći sve automatski
radeći sve automatski
07:52
instead of trying to find a different way to continue that dream,
162
460688
3752
umesto da sam pokušao da nađem
drukčiji pristup da svoj san ostvarim
drukčiji pristup da svoj san ostvarim
07:56
I just quit, I gave up.
163
464440
3200
ja sam jednostavno odustao.
07:59
And what if I didn't embrace the shake?
164
467640
3616
A šta da sebe nisam prihvatio u potpunosti?
08:03
Because embracing the shake for me
165
471256
1197
Jer, za mene,
prihvatanje sebe
prihvatanje sebe
08:04
wasn't just about art and having art skills.
166
472453
2640
nije bilo samo u vidu umetnosti.
08:07
It turned out to be about life, and having life skills.
167
475093
4435
Počelo je to prihvatanje da znači
prihvatanje života takvim kakav on jeste.
prihvatanje života takvim kakav on jeste.
08:11
Because ultimately, most of what we do
168
479528
2511
Na kraju krajeva,
ono što radimo
ono što radimo
08:14
takes place here, inside the box, with limited resources.
169
482039
5572
dešava se ovde,
sa ograničenim sredstvima.
sa ograničenim sredstvima.
08:19
Learning to be creative within the confines of our limitations
170
487611
3669
Kada čovek nauči da iskoristi svoje mane
i uprkos njima bude kreativan,
i uprkos njima bude kreativan,
08:23
is the best hope we have to transform ourselves
171
491280
4079
na pravom je putu da se promeni
08:27
and, collectively, transform our world.
172
495359
3865
i da promeni ljude oko sebe.
08:31
Looking at limitations as a source of creativity
173
499224
4168
Gledajući na moje mane
kao izvor kreativnosti
kao izvor kreativnosti
08:35
changed the course of my life.
174
503392
2856
promenio sam svoj život.
08:38
Now, when I run into a barrier
175
506248
1691
Sada, kada naiđem na prepreku
08:39
or I find myself creatively stumped,
176
507939
3109
i izgubim motivaciju
08:43
I sometimes still struggle,
177
511048
1554
naravno da se mučim
08:44
but I continue to show up for the process
178
512602
2094
ali nastavljam da se borim
08:46
and try to remind myself of the possibilities,
179
514696
3497
i da sebe podsećam
da postoji bezbroj mogućnosti
da postoji bezbroj mogućnosti
08:50
like using hundreds of real, live worms to make an image,
180
518193
4595
kao recimo, kada koristim
stotine crva da napravim skicu
stotine crva da napravim skicu
08:54
using a pushpin to tattoo a banana,
181
522788
4387
ili kada putem spajalice
crtam na banani
crtam na banani
08:59
or painting a picture with hamburger grease.
182
527175
6023
ili kada slikam, koristeći mast
koja je ostala od hamburgera.
koja je ostala od hamburgera.
09:05
(Laughter)
183
533198
1854
(Smeh)
09:07
One of my most recent endeavors
184
535052
1607
U poslednje vreme
09:08
is to try to translate the habits of creativity that I've learned
185
536659
3444
trudim se da to što sam naučio
u vezi sa kreativnošću
u vezi sa kreativnošću
09:12
into something others can replicate.
186
540103
3184
prenesem na druge kako bi
i oni mogli moje znanje da iskoriste.
i oni mogli moje znanje da iskoriste.
09:15
Limitations may be the most unlikely of places
187
543287
3857
Znam da izgleda kao da mane
09:19
to harness creativity, but perhaps
188
547144
3394
nisu izvor kreativnosti
ali moguće je
ali moguće je
09:22
one of the best ways to get ourselves out of ruts,
189
550538
3670
da je jedan od najboljih načina
da sebe izbavimo iz krize
da sebe izbavimo iz krize
09:26
rethink categories and challenge accepted norms.
190
554208
3903
ako počnemo drukčije da razmišljamo.
09:30
And instead of telling each other to seize the day,
191
558111
3859
Umesto da jedni drugima
dajemo savet da uživamo u svakom trenutku
dajemo savet da uživamo u svakom trenutku
09:33
maybe we can remind ourselves every day
192
561970
3963
možda bi trebalo
da se podsetimo
da se podsetimo
09:37
to seize the limitation.
193
565933
2514
da prihvatimo ograničenja
koje nam život nameće.
koje nam život nameće.
09:40
Thank you.
194
568447
1467
Hvala vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Phil Hansen - Multimedia artistTaking a cue from his own artistic journey, Phil Hansen challenges us to spark our creativity by thinking inside the box.
Why you should listen
As an art student, Phil Hansen’s intense style of pointillism led to a tremor in his hand and a diagnosis of nerve damage. Devastated, he dropped out and lost his way ... until a neurologist suggested he “embrace the shake.” That piece of advice tweaked Hansen’s point of view and sent him on a quest to invent different approaches to making art by embracing personal and universal limitations.
Hansen challenged himself to create art using unconventional materials (dandelion puffs, matches, live worms, hamburger grease) and canvases (a stack of Satrbucks cups, his torso, bananas). The resulting time-lapse videos of his creative processes are his meta-art, showing that art is action, not just results. Through an integrated view of what sparks creativity, Hansen has devoted himself to teaching others the approaches to creativity that have changed both his outlook and his artistic endeavors. You can read more in his 2012 book, Tattoo a Banana.
Hansen has just started a new project via Kickstarter, inviting people to share their stories of overcoming limitations with him. Anyone who calls him at 651-321-4996 and tells him their story will become a part of the work, the creation of which is watchable on a live feed.
