På internettet kan en ny "ven" kun være et klik væk, men den ægte forbindelse er sværere at finde og at udtrykke. Ze Frank viser en medley af skøre internet legetøjer, der kræver stor involvering -- og det belønner dig med noget mere nærende. Du er inviteret. Hvis du lover at dele.

Hver eneste præsentation har brug for det her slide.
00:18
(Laughter)
1
3000
2000
(latter)
00:20
It's beautiful, isn't it?
2
5000
2000
Det er smukt, ikke?
00:22
Do you see?
3
7000
2000
Ser du det?
00:24
All the points, all the lines --
4
9000
2000
Alle punkterne, alle linierne
00:26
it's incredible.
5
11000
2000
Det er utroligt.
00:28
It is the network;
6
13000
2000
Det er et netværk.
00:30
and in my case, the network has been important in media,
7
15000
2000
Og i mit tilfælde er netværket blevet en vigtig del af media,
00:32
because I get to connect to people.
8
17000
3000
fordi jeg får lov til at komme i kontakt med folk.
00:35
Isn't it amazing?
9
20000
2000
Er det ikke fantastisk?
00:37
Through that, I connect to people.
10
22000
3000
Gennem det kommer jeg i kontakt med folk.
00:40
And the way that I've been doing it
11
25000
2000
Og den måde jeg har gjort det på
00:42
has been multifaceted.
12
27000
2000
har fået mange facetter.
00:44
For example, I get people to dress up their vacuum cleaners.
13
29000
3000
For eksempel får jeg folk til at klæde deres støvsuger ud.
00:47
(Laughter)
14
32000
5000
(Latter)
00:52
I put together projects like Earth Sandwich,
15
37000
2000
Jeg sætter projekter sammen. Såsom Earth Sandwich,
00:54
where I ask people
16
39000
2000
hvor jeg spørger folk om
00:56
to try and simultaneously place
17
41000
2000
at prøve på samme tid at placere
00:58
two pieces of bread
18
43000
2000
to stykker brød
01:00
perfectly opposite each other on the Earth.
19
45000
2000
præcist modsat af hinanden på jorden.
01:02
And people started laying bread in tribute,
20
47000
3000
Og folk begyndte at ligge toastbrød på jorden som hyldest.
01:05
and eventually a team was able to do it
21
50000
2000
Og i sidste ende lykkedes det et team at gøre det
01:07
between New Zealand and Spain.
22
52000
3000
mellem New Zealand og Spanien.
01:10
It's pretty incredible -- the video's online.
23
55000
3000
Det er ret utroligt. Videoen er på nettet.
01:13
Connecting to people in projects
24
58000
2000
At forbinde folk i projekter
01:15
like YoungmeNowme for example.
25
60000
2000
som YoungmeNowme for eksemple.
01:17
In YoungmeNowme, the audience was asked
26
62000
2000
I YoungmeNowme blev tilskuerne spurgt
01:19
to find a childhood photograph of themselves
27
64000
3000
om at finde et barndomsfotografi af dem selv
01:22
and restage it as an adult.
28
67000
3000
og gendanne det som voksen.
01:25
(Laughter)
29
70000
12000
(Latter)
01:37
This is the same person --
30
82000
2000
Denne samme person -
01:39
top photo, James, bottom photo, [Jennifer].
31
84000
3000
øverste billede, James, nederste billede, Jennifer.
01:42
Poignant.
32
87000
2000
Gribende.
01:44
This was a Mother's Day gift.
33
89000
2000
Dette var en mors dag gave.
01:46
(Laughter)
34
91000
2000
(Latter)
01:48
Particularly creepy.
35
93000
2000
Specielt uhyggeligt.
01:50
(Applause)
36
95000
2000
(Applaus)
01:52
(Laughter)
37
97000
2000
(Latter)
01:54
My favorite of these photos, which I couldn't find,
38
99000
2000
Mit favoritbillede, som jeg ikke kunne finde,
01:56
is there's a picture of a 30 year-old woman or so
39
101000
3000
er det her billede af en ca. 30 årig kvinde
01:59
with a little baby on her lap,
40
104000
2000
med en lille baby på hendes skød,
02:01
and the next photo is a 220-lb man
41
106000
3000
og det næste billede er en 100 kg mand
02:04
with a tiny, little old lady peaking over his shoulder.
42
109000
3000
med en lille bitte gammel kvinde kiggende over hans skulder.
02:08
But this project changed the way
43
113000
2000
Men det her projekt ændrede måden,
02:10
that I thought about connecting to people.
44
115000
2000
jeg så på forbindelser mellem mennesker.
02:12
This is project called Ray.
45
117000
2000
Det her projekt hedder Ray.
02:14
And what happened was I was sent this piece of audio
46
119000
3000
Og det der skete var, at jeg fik det her stykke med lyd tilsendt,
02:17
and had no idea who generated the audio.
47
122000
2000
og jeg havde ingen ide om, hvem der havde lavet lydstykket.
02:19
Somebody said, "You have to listen to this."
48
124000
3000
Nogen sagde, "Du bliver nødt til at lytte til det her."
02:22
And this is what came to me.
49
127000
2000
Og dette var hvad der kom til mig.
02:24
Recording: Hi, my name is Ray,
50
129000
2000
Optagelse: Hej, mit navn er Ray,
02:26
and on yesterday my daughter called me
51
131000
2000
og i går ringede min datter til mig,
02:28
because she was stressed out
52
133000
2000
fordi hun var stresset,
02:30
because of things that were going on on her job
53
135000
2000
på grund af de ting der foregik på hendes job,
02:32
that she felt was quite unfair.
54
137000
3000
som hun synes var ret unfair.
02:35
Being quite disturbed, she called for comfort,
55
140000
2000
Værende ret frastødt ringede hun til mig for at få trøst.
02:37
and I didn't really know what to tell her,
56
142000
2000
Og jeg vidste ikke rigtig, hvad jeg skulle sige,
02:39
because we have to deal with so much mess in our society.
57
144000
3000
fordi vi er nødt til at leve med so meget rod i vores samfund.
02:42
So I was led to write this song just for her,
58
147000
3000
Så jeg blev ledt til at skrive en sang til hende,
02:46
just to give her some encouragement
59
151000
2000
bare for at give hende noget opmuntring,
02:48
while dealing with stress and pressures on her job.
60
153000
3000
samtidig med at håndtere stress og pres på hendes arbejdspress.
02:51
And I figured I'd put it on the Internet
61
156000
2000
Og jeg synes, at jeg ville putte den på internettet
02:53
for all employees under stress
62
158000
2000
til alle ansatte under stress,
02:55
to help you better deal with what you're going through on your job.
63
160000
3000
som en hjælp til jer, til at håndtere det I går igennem på jeres arbejde.
02:58
Here's how the song goes.
64
163000
2000
Sådan lyder den.
03:00
♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
65
165000
6000
♫Jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫
03:06
♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
66
171000
7000
♫Åh, jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫
03:14
♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫
67
179000
4000
♫Åh, hvis du ikke lader mig være i fred,♫
03:18
♫ you gonna have to send me home ♫
68
183000
3000
♫bliver du nødt til at sende mig hjem♫
03:21
♫ 'Cause I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
69
186000
5000
♫for jeg er er ved at smække en en flad♫
03:26
Now you might not be able to sing that out loud,
70
191000
3000
Altså du kan nok ikke synge den højt,
03:29
but you can hum it to yourself, and you know what the words are.
71
194000
3000
men du kan nynne den for sig selv, og du ved selv hvad ordene er.
03:32
And let it give you some strength to get the next few moments on your job.
72
197000
3000
Og lad det give dig midt støtte til at klare de næste timer på arbejde.
03:35
All right. Stay strong. Peace.
73
200000
3000
Okay. Forbliv stærk. Peace.
03:38
Ze Frank: So -- yeah.
74
203000
2000
Ze Frank: Så - ja.
03:40
No, no, no, shush. We've got to go quickly.
75
205000
3000
Nej, nej nej, shhh. Vi bliver nødt til at være hurtige.
03:44
So I was so moved by this --
76
209000
2000
Så jeg var rørt over det her.
03:46
this is incredible. This was connecting, right.
77
211000
2000
Det er utroligt. Det var forbindelse, ikke?
03:48
This was, at a distance,
78
213000
2000
Dette var, på afstand,
03:50
realizing that someone was feeling something,
79
215000
2000
at indse at en eller anden følte et eller andet,
03:52
wanting to affect them in a particular way,
80
217000
2000
og viljen til at påvirke dem på en bestemt måde,
03:54
using media to do it, putting it online
81
219000
2000
under brugen af et media. Sætte det på nettet
03:56
and realizing that there was a greater impact.
82
221000
2000
og indse at det har haft en større indvirkning.
03:58
This was incredible; this is what I wanted to do.
83
223000
2000
Det var utroligt. Det var hvad, jeg ønskede at gøre.
04:00
So the first thing I thought of is we have to thank him.
84
225000
2000
Så den første ting jeg tænkte på er, at vi bliver nødt til at takke ham.
04:02
And I asked my audience, I said, "Listen to this piece of audio.
85
227000
2000
Og jeg henvendte mig til mine tilskuere, jeg sagde, "Lyt til det her lydklip.
04:04
We have to remix it. He's got a great voice.
86
229000
3000
Vi bliver nødt til at remixe det. Han har en god stemme.
04:07
It's actually in the key of B flat.
87
232000
3000
Jeg er faktisk i b dur.
04:10
And have to do something with it."
88
235000
2000
Og har noget at gøre med det."
04:12
Hundreds of remixes came back -- lots of different attempts.
89
237000
3000
Hunderede af remix kom tilbage - mange forskellige forsøg.
04:15
One stood out in particular.
90
240000
2000
En stod i særdeleshed ud.
04:17
It was done by a guy named Goose.
91
242000
3000
Den var lavet af en mand der hed Goose.
04:20
Remix: ♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
92
245000
7000
Remix: ♫Jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫
04:27
♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
93
252000
8000
♫Åh, jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫
04:36
♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫
94
261000
4000
♫Åh, hvis du ikke lader mig være i fred♫
04:40
♫ You gonna have to send me home ♫
95
265000
4000
♫bliver du nødt til at sende mig hjem♫
04:44
♫ Cuz I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫
96
269000
6000
♫For jeg er ved at smække en en flad ♫
04:59
♫ I'm about to whip some ♫ --
97
284000
4000
♫Jeg er ved at smække♫ --
05:03
ZF: Great, so it was incredible.
98
288000
2000
ZF: Godt. Så det var utroligt.
05:05
That song -- (Applause) Thank you.
99
290000
3000
Denne sang -- (Applause) Tak.
05:08
So that song, somebody told me that it was at a baseball game
100
293000
3000
Så den sang, noget fortalte mig, at den var med til en basketbold kamp
05:11
in Kansas City.
101
296000
2000
i Kansas City.
05:13
In the end,
102
298000
2000
Til slut,
05:15
it was one of the top downloads
103
300000
2000
var den en af de mest downloadede
05:17
on a whole bunch of music streaming services.
104
302000
2000
på en hel masse internet streaming sider.
05:19
And so I said, "Let's put this together in an album."
105
304000
3000
Og så sagde jeg, "Lad os sætte der her sammen i et album"
05:22
And the audience came together, and they designed an album cover.
106
307000
2000
Og publikum slog sig sammen, og de designede et album cover.
05:24
And I said, "If you put it all on this, I'm going to deliver it to him,
107
309000
3000
Og jeg sagde, "Hvis i samler det hele på den her, så afleverer jeg det til ham,
05:27
if you can figure out who this person is,"
108
312000
3000
hvis i kan finde ud af hvem denne person er,"
05:30
because all I had was his name -- Ray --
109
315000
3000
fordi alt jeg havde var hans navn, Ray,
05:33
and this little piece of audio
110
318000
2000
og det her lille lydklip
05:35
and the fact that his daughter was upset.
111
320000
3000
og det at hans datter var ked af det.
05:38
In two weeks, they found him.
112
323000
2000
I løbet af to uger, fandt de ham.
05:40
I received and email and it said,
113
325000
2000
Jeg modtog en email, der sagde,
05:42
"Hi, I'm Ray.
114
327000
2000
"Hej. Jeg er Ray.
05:44
I heard you were looking for me."
115
329000
2000
Jeg hører at du leder efter mig."
05:46
(Laughter)
116
331000
2000
(Latter)
05:48
And I was like, "Yeah, Ray.
117
333000
2000
Og jeg var sådan, "Yeah, Ray.
05:50
It's been an interesting two weeks."
118
335000
3000
Det var været nogle interessante to uger."
05:53
And so I flew to St. Louis
119
338000
2000
Og så fløj jeg til St. Louis
05:55
and met Ray,
120
340000
2000
og mødte Ray,
05:57
and he's a preacher --
121
342000
2000
og han er en præst.
05:59
(Laughter)
122
344000
2000
(latter)
06:02
among other things.
123
347000
2000
Blandt andet.
06:04
So but anyways, here's the thing --
124
349000
2000
Men her er problemet,
06:06
is it reminds me of this,
125
351000
2000
det minder mig om det her,
06:08
which is a sign that you see in Amsterdam on every street corner.
126
353000
3000
som er et skilt, man kan se på hvert gadehjørne i Amsterdam.
06:11
And it's sort of a metaphor for me for the virtual world.
127
356000
3000
Og for mig er det en slags metafor for den virtuelle verden.
06:14
I look at this photo, and he seems really interested
128
359000
3000
Jeg ser på de her billede, og han virker så interesseret
06:17
in what's going on with that button,
129
362000
2000
i, hvad der sker med den knap,
06:19
but it doesn't seem like he is really that interested in crossing the street.
130
364000
3000
men det virker ikke, som om han er særlig interesseret i at krydse gaden.
06:22
(Laughter)
131
367000
2000
(Latter)
06:24
And it makes me think of this.
132
369000
2000
Og det får mig til at tænke på det her.
06:26
On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones,
133
371000
3000
På hvert et gadehjørne står folk og kigger på deres mobiltelefon,
06:29
and it's easy to dismiss this
134
374000
2000
og det er nemt at lægge det til side,
06:31
as some sort of bad trend
135
376000
2000
som værne en dårlig trend
06:33
in human culture.
136
378000
2000
i menneskelig kultur.
06:35
But the truth is
137
380000
2000
Men sandheden er,
06:37
life is being lived there.
138
382000
2000
at et liv bliver levet der.
06:39
When they smile --
139
384000
2000
Når de smiler,
06:41
right, you've seen people stop --
140
386000
3000
ikke?, man har set folk stoppe -
06:44
all of a sudden, life is being lived there,
141
389000
2000
lige pludseligt. Et liv bliver levet der,
06:46
somewhere up in that weird, dense network.
142
391000
3000
et eller andet sted i det underlige komprimerede netværk.
06:50
And this is it, right, to feel and be felt.
143
395000
3000
Og det er det, ikke, at føle og blive følt.
06:53
It's the fundamental force
144
398000
2000
Det er den fundamentale kraft,
06:55
that we're all after.
145
400000
2000
som vi alle leder efter.
06:57
We can build all sorts of environments
146
402000
2000
Vi kan bygge alle mulige slags miljøer
06:59
to make it a little bit easier,
147
404000
2000
til at gøre det lidt nemmere,
07:01
but ultimately, what we're trying to do
148
406000
2000
men ultimativt, det vi prøver på at gøre
07:03
is really connect with one other person.
149
408000
3000
er egentlig at komme i kontakt med hinanden.
07:06
And that's not always going to happen in physical spaces.
150
411000
2000
Og det sker ikke altid i fysiske omgivelser.
07:08
It's also going to now happen in virtual spaces,
151
413000
3000
Det sker nu også i virtuelle verdener,
07:11
and we have to get better at figuring that out.
152
416000
2000
og vi skal blive bedre til at regne det ud.
07:13
I think, of the people that build all this technology in the network,
153
418000
3000
Jeg synes, at alle dem der bygger teknologi til netværk,
07:16
a lot of them aren't very good
154
421000
2000
mange af dem ikke er særlig gode til
07:18
at connecting with people.
155
423000
2000
at komme i kontakt med folk.
07:20
This is kind of like something I used to do
156
425000
2000
Det er lid,t som noget jeg engang gjorde
07:22
in third grade.
157
427000
2000
i 3. klasse.
07:24
(Laughter)
158
429000
2000
(Latter)
07:26
So here's a series of projects
159
431000
2000
Så her er en lang række af projekter
07:28
over the last few years
160
433000
2000
over de sidste år,
07:30
where I've been inspired by trying to figure out
161
435000
3000
hvor jeg er blevet inspireret til at prøve på at regne ud,
07:33
how to really facilitate close connection.
162
438000
3000
hvordan man skaber tætte forbindelser.
07:36
Sometimes they're very, very simple things.
163
441000
2000
Nogle gange er det meget simple ting.
07:38
A Childhood Walk, which is a project
164
443000
2000
A Childhood Walk, som er et projekt,
07:40
where I ask people to remember a walk
165
445000
2000
hvor jeg spurgte folk om de kunne huske en gåtur,
07:42
that they used to take as a child over and over again
166
447000
3000
som de, igen og igen, var vant til at gå som barn,
07:45
that was sort of meaningless --
167
450000
2000
som var lidt meningsløs,
07:47
like on the route to the bus stop, to a neighbor's house,
168
452000
3000
lige som en rute til busstoppet, til en nabos hus
07:50
and take it inside of Google Streetview.
169
455000
2000
og ligge det ind på Google Streetview.
07:52
And I promise you,
170
457000
2000
Og jeg lover jer,
07:54
if you take that walk inside Google Streetview,
171
459000
2000
hvis du går en tur inde i Google Streetview,
07:56
you come to a moment
172
461000
2000
så vil du på et tidspunkt,
07:58
where something comes back
173
463000
2000
opleve at noget kommer tilbage,
08:00
and hits you in the face.
174
465000
2000
og det skyller ind over dig.
08:02
And I collected those moments --
175
467000
2000
Og jeg samlede disse tidspunkter -
08:04
the photos inside Google Streetview
176
469000
2000
billederne inde i Google Streetview
08:06
and the memories, specifically.
177
471000
2000
og disse tidspunkter, specielt.
08:08
"Our conversation started with me saying, 'I'm bored,'
178
473000
3000
"Vores samtale startede med at jeg sagde, "Jeg keder mig",
08:11
and her replying, 'When I'm bored I eat pretzels.'
179
476000
2000
og at hun svarede, "Når jeg keder mig spiser jeg kringler."
08:13
I remember this distinctly because it came up a lot."
180
478000
3000
jeg husker det her specielt fordi det ofte skete"
08:16
"Right after he told me and my brother
181
481000
2000
"Lige efter han fortalt mig og min bror,
08:18
he was going to be separating from my mom,
182
483000
2000
at han og min mor ville have en separation,
08:20
I remember walking to a convenience store
183
485000
2000
husker jeg at gå ind i kiosken
08:22
and getting a cherry cola."
184
487000
2000
og købe en cherry cola."
08:24
"They used some of the morbidly artist footage,
185
489000
2000
"De brugte nogle morbide, artistiske optagelser,
08:26
a close-up of Chad's shoes in the middle of the highway.
186
491000
2000
et close-up fotografi af Chads sko midt på motorvejen.
08:28
I guess the shoes came off when he was hit.
187
493000
3000
Jeg tror de faldt af, da han blev ramt.
08:31
He slept over at my house once, and he left his pillow.
188
496000
3000
Han sov hos mig engang, og han efterlod hans pude.
08:34
It had 'Chad' written in magic marker on it.
189
499000
2000
Der stod 'Chad' skevet med sprittusch på den.
08:36
He died long after he left the pillow at my house,
190
501000
2000
Han døde lang tid efter, han efterlod puden hos mig,
08:38
but we never got around to returning it."
191
503000
2000
men jeg fik aldrig afleveret den tilbage."
08:40
Sometimes they're a little bit more abstract.
192
505000
2000
Nogle gange er de lidt mere abstrakte.
08:42
This is Pain Pack.
193
507000
2000
Dette er Pain Pack.
08:44
Right after September 11th, last year,
194
509000
2000
Kort til efter den 11. september, sidste år,
08:46
I was thinking about pain and the way that we disperse it,
195
511000
2000
tænkte jeg over smerte, og måde vi dispensere den på,
08:48
the way that we excise it from our bodies.
196
513000
3000
måden hvorpå vi udskiller det fra vores krop.
08:51
So what I did is I opened up a hotline --
197
516000
2000
Så det jeg gjorde var,at jeg åbnede en hotline,
08:53
a hotline where people could leave voicemails of their pain,
198
518000
3000
en hotline hvor folk kunne efterlade voicemails om deres smerte,
08:56
not necessarily related to that event.
199
521000
3000
ikke nødvendigvis relateret til den begivenhed.
08:59
And people called in and left messages like this.
200
524000
3000
Og folk ringede ind og efterlod beskeder som denne.
09:03
Recording: Okay, here's something.
201
528000
2000
Optagelse: Okay, her er noget.
09:07
I'm not alone,
202
532000
2000
Jeg er ikke alene,
09:09
and I am loved.
203
534000
2000
og jeg er elsket.
09:11
I'm really fortunate.
204
536000
3000
Jeg er virkelig heldig.
09:15
But sometimes I feel really lonely.
205
540000
3000
Men nogen gange føler jeg mig virkelig ensom.
09:19
And when I feel that way
206
544000
3000
Og når jeg har det sådan,
09:25
even the smallest act of kindness
207
550000
3000
kan selv den mindste gode gerning
09:28
can make me cry.
208
553000
2000
få mig til at græde.
09:30
Like even people in convenience stores
209
555000
2000
Lige som når folk i kiosker
09:32
saying, "Have a nice day,"
210
557000
3000
siger, "Ha' en god dag,",
09:35
when they're accidentally looking me in the eye.
211
560000
4000
når de tilfældigvis ser mig i øjnene.
09:41
ZF: So what I did was I took those voicemails,
212
566000
2000
ZF: Så hvad jeg gjorde med de her voicemails,
09:43
and with their permission, converted them to MP3s
213
568000
3000
og med deres tilladelse, var at konvertere dem til MP3 filer,
09:46
and distributed them to sound editors
214
571000
2000
og distributerede dem til lyd editorer,
09:48
who created short sounds
215
573000
2000
som lavede korte lyde
09:50
using just those voicemails.
216
575000
3000
kun ud af de voicemails.
09:54
And those were then distributed to DJs
217
579000
3000
Og de var distribueret til DJ's,
09:57
who have made hundreds of songs
218
582000
3000
som havde lavet hundrede af sange
10:00
using that source material.
219
585000
3000
under brug af det materiale.
10:05
(Music)
220
590000
2000
(Music)
10:07
We don't have time to play much of it.
221
592000
2000
Vi har ikke meget tid til at lege med det.
10:09
You can look at it online.
222
594000
2000
I kan se det online.
10:11
"From 52 to 48 with love"
223
596000
2000
"Kærlig hilsen fra 52 til 48"
10:13
was a project around the time of the last election cycle,
224
598000
3000
var et projekt i tiden omkring den sidste valgperiode,
10:16
where McCain and Obama both,
225
601000
2000
hvor McCain og Obama begge
10:18
in their speeches after the election, talked about reconciliation,
226
603000
3000
i deres taler, efter valget, talte om deres forsoning,
10:21
and I was like, "What the hell
227
606000
2000
og jeg tænkte, "Hvordan helvede
10:23
does that look like?"
228
608000
2000
ser det ud?"
10:25
So I thought, "Well let's just give it a try.
229
610000
2000
Så jeg tænkte, "Tja, lad os give det et forsøg.
10:27
Let's have people hold up signs about reconciliation."
230
612000
3000
Lad os sætte folk til at holde skilte op med forsoninger."
10:30
And so some really nice things came together.
231
615000
2000
Og så kom der nogle rigtig fine ting ud af det.
10:32
"I voted blue. I voted red.
232
617000
2000
"Jeg stemte blåt, jeg stemte rødt.
10:34
Together, for our future."
233
619000
2000
Sammen for vores fremtid."
10:36
These are very, very cute little things right.
234
621000
3000
De er meget, meget, søde, små ting, ikke.
10:39
Some came from the winning party.
235
624000
2000
Nogle kom fra det vindende parti.
10:41
"Dear 48, I promise to listen to you, to fight for you, to respect you always."
236
626000
3000
"Kære 48, jeg lover at lytte til jer, at kæmpe for jer, at respektere jer altid."
10:44
Some came from the party who had just lost.
237
629000
2000
Nogle kom fra partiet som lige havde tabt.
10:46
"From a 48 to a 52, may your party's leadership be as classy as you,
238
631000
3000
"Fra en 48'er til en 52'er, må jeres partis lederskab være lige så elegant som jer,
10:49
but I doubt it."
239
634000
2000
men jeg tvivler."
10:52
But the truth was that as this start becoming popular,
240
637000
3000
Men sandheden var, at som det her begyndte at blive populært,
10:55
a couple rightwing blogs and some message boards
241
640000
2000
fandt nogle højreorienterede blogs og nogle forumer det
10:57
apparently found it to be a little patronizing,
242
642000
2000
åbenbart en lille smule nedladende,
10:59
which I could also see.
243
644000
2000
hvilket jeg også godt kunne se.
11:01
And so I started getting amazing amounts of hate mail,
244
646000
3000
Og så begyndte jeg at få utrolig mange hadebreve,
11:04
death threats even.
245
649000
2000
dødstrudsler endda.
11:06
And one guy in particular kept on writing me these pretty awful messages,
246
651000
3000
Og i høj grad en blev en mand ved med at skrive nogle ret grusomme beskeder,
11:09
and he was dressed as Batman.
247
654000
3000
og han var klædt ud som Batman.
11:12
And he said, "I'm dressed as Batman to hide my identity."
248
657000
3000
Og han sagde, "Jeg er klædt ud som Batman for at skjule min identitet."
11:15
Just in case I thought the real Batman
249
660000
2000
I tilfælde af at jeg troede, at det var den rigtige Batman,
11:17
was coming after me;
250
662000
2000
der var efter mig.
11:19
which actually made me feel a little better --
251
664000
2000
Hvilket faktisk fik mig til at føle mig lidt bedre tilpas.
11:21
like, "Phew, it's not him."
252
666000
2000
Sådan, "Puh, det er ikke ham."
11:23
So what I did --
253
668000
2000
Så hvad jeg gjorde -
11:25
unfortunately, I was harboring all this kind of
254
670000
2000
desværre husede jeg alle slags
11:27
awful experience and this pain inside of me,
255
672000
3000
dårlige oplevelser og den her smerte inden i,
11:30
and it started to eat away at my psyche.
256
675000
3000
og det startede at påvirke min psyke.
11:33
And I was protecting the project from it, I realized. I was protecting it --
257
678000
3000
Og som jeg beskyttede projektet imod det, indså jeg. Jeg beskyttede det.
11:36
I didn't want this special, little group of photographs
258
681000
3000
Jeg ville ikke have, at denne specielle, lille gruppe af fotografier
11:39
to get sullied in some way.
259
684000
2000
skulle blive besudlet på nogen måde.
11:41
So what I did, I took all those emails,
260
686000
3000
Så det jeg gjorde var, at jeg tog alle de her emails,
11:44
and I put them together into something called Angrigami,
261
689000
3000
og jeg satte dem sammen til noget, der hed Angrigami,
11:47
which was an origami template
262
692000
2000
hvilket var en origami skabelon
11:49
made out of this sort of vile stuff.
263
694000
2000
lavet ud af de her modbydelige ting.
11:51
And I asked people to send me beautiful things
264
696000
2000
Og jeg spurgte folk om, de ville sende smukke ting
11:53
made out of the Angrigami.
265
698000
2000
lavet ud af Angrigamien.
11:55
(Laughter)
266
700000
5000
(Latter)
12:02
But this was the emotional moment.
267
707000
3000
Men dette var en emotionelt øjeblik.
12:05
One of my viewer's uncles died on a particular day
268
710000
3000
En af mine seers onkel døde præcis på den dag,
12:08
and he chose to commemorate it with a piece of hate.
269
713000
3000
og han valgte at mindes det men et stykke af had.
12:11
It's amazing.
270
716000
2000
Det er fantastisk.
12:13
The last thing I'm going to tell you about is a series of projects
271
718000
3000
Det sidste jeg vil fortælle jer om, er en serie af projekter,
12:16
called Songs You Already Know,
272
721000
3000
der hedder Song You Already Know,
12:19
where the idea was,
273
724000
2000
hvor ideen bag var,
12:21
I was trying to figure out to address
274
726000
2000
jeg prøvede på at finde en måde at udtrykke
12:23
particular kinds of emotions with group projects.
275
728000
3000
specifikke følelser med gruppe projekter.
12:26
So one of them was fairly straightforward.
276
731000
2000
Så en af dem var rimelig ligetil.
12:28
A guy said that his daughter got scared at night
277
733000
2000
En mand sagde, at han datter blev bange om natten,
12:30
and could I write a song for her, his daughter.
278
735000
2000
og om jeg kunne skrive en sang for hende, hans datter.
12:32
And I said, "Oh yeah,
279
737000
2000
Og jeg sagde, øh ja,
12:34
I'll try to write a mantra that she can sing to herself
280
739000
2000
jeg vil prøve at skrive et mantra, som hun kan synge til sig selv,
12:36
to help herself go to sleep."
281
741000
2000
for at hjælpe sig selv til at sove.
12:38
And this was "Scared."
282
743000
2000
Og dette var "Bange."
12:54
(Video) ♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫
283
759000
4000
(Video) ♫ Dette er en sang, jeg synger, når jeg er bange for noget ♫
12:58
♫ I don't know why but it helps me get over it ♫
284
763000
4000
♫ Jeg ved ikke hvorfor, men den hjælper mig med at komme over det ♫
13:02
♫ The words of the song just move me along ♫
285
767000
4000
♫ Ordene i sangen får mig til at fortsætte ♫
13:06
♫ And somehow I get over it ♫
286
771000
3000
♫ Og på en eller anden måde kommer jeg over det ♫
13:10
♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫
287
775000
3000
♫ I det mindste har jeg succes i livet ♫
13:13
♫ I keep on trying despite ♫
288
778000
4000
♫ Jeg bliver ved med at prøve trods alt ♫
13:17
♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫
289
782000
4000
♫ I det mindste har jeg succes i livet ♫
13:21
♫ I keep on trying despite ♫
290
786000
3000
♫ Jeg bliver ved med at prøve trods alt ♫
13:24
♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫
291
789000
4000
♫ Dette er en sang, jeg synger, når jeg er bange for noget ♫
13:28
Okay, so I wrote that song, right. Thank you.
292
793000
4000
Okay, så jeg skrev den her sang, ikke. Tak skal I have.
13:32
So the nice thing was is he walked by his daughter's room at some point,
293
797000
3000
Så det bedste var, at han gik forbi hans datters værelse på et tidspunkt,
13:35
and she actually was singing that song to herself.
294
800000
2000
og hun sang faktisk sangen til sig selv.
13:37
So I was like, "Awesome. This is great."
295
802000
2000
Så jeg var sådan, "Fedt. Det her er godt."
13:39
And then I got this email. And there's a little bit of a back story to this.
296
804000
2000
Og så fik jeg den her email. Og der er en lille historie bag den.
13:41
And I don't have much time.
297
806000
2000
Og jeg har ikke meget tid.
13:43
But the idea was that at one point
298
808000
2000
Men ideen var, på det her tidspunkt, at
13:45
I did a project called Facebook Me Equals You,
299
810000
2000
jeg lavede et projekt, som hed Facebook Me Equals You,
13:47
where I wanted to experience what it was like
300
812000
2000
hvor jeg ville prøve, hvordan det var
13:49
to live as another person.
301
814000
2000
at leve som en anden person.
13:51
So I asked for people's usernames and passwords to be sent to me.
302
816000
3000
Så jeg spurgte efter at få tilsendt nogle menneskers brugernavne og kodeord.
13:54
And I got a lot, like 30 in a half an hour.
303
819000
3000
Og efter jeg fik en masse, ca. 30 inden for en halv time.
13:57
And I shut that part down.
304
822000
2000
Og jeg lukkede for den del.
13:59
And I chose two people to be,
305
824000
2000
Og valgte to mennesker at være,
14:01
and I asked them to send me descriptions
306
826000
2000
og jeg bad dem sende en beskrivelse
14:03
of how to act as them on Facebook.
307
828000
2000
af, hvordan jeg skulle opføre mig på Facebook.
14:05
One person sent me a very detailed description;
308
830000
2000
En af personerne sendte mig en meget detaljeret beskrivelse.
14:07
the other person didn't.
309
832000
2000
Den anden gjorde ikke.
14:09
And the person who didn't, it turned out,
310
834000
2000
Og den person der ikke gjorde, viste sig at,
14:11
had just moved to a new city and taken on a new job.
311
836000
2000
personen lige havde flyttet til en ny by og startet på et nyt job.
14:13
So, you know, people were writing me and saying, "How's your new job?"
312
838000
3000
Så, du ved, folk skrev og spurgte, "Hvordan er dit nye arbejde?"
14:16
I was like, "I don't know.
313
841000
2000
Og jeg var sådan, "Det ved jeg ikke,
14:18
Didn't know I had one."
314
843000
2000
jeg vidste ikke jeg havde et."
14:20
But anyway, this same person, Laura,
315
845000
3000
Men uanset hvad, denne samme person, Laura,
14:23
ended up emailing me a little bit after that project.
316
848000
3000
endte med at emaile mig et lille stykke tid efter projektet.
14:26
And I felt badly for not having done a good job.
317
851000
3000
Og jeg havde det dårligt, fordi jeg ikke havde gjort det ret godt.
14:29
And she said, "I'm really anxious, I just moved to a new town, I have this new job,
318
854000
3000
Og hun sagde, "Jeg er virkelig ængstelig, jeg er lige flyttet til en ny by, jeg har det her nye arbejde,
14:32
and I've just had this incredible amount of anxiety."
319
857000
3000
og jeg er utrolig ængstelig."
14:35
So she had seen the "Scared" song and wondered if I could do something.
320
860000
3000
Så hun havde set "Bange"-sangen og tænkte om, jeg kunne gøre noget.
14:38
So I asked her, "What does it feel like when you feel this way?"
321
863000
3000
Så jeg spurgte hende, "Hvordan føles det, når du har det sådan?"
14:41
And she wrote a sort of descriptive set
322
866000
2000
Og hun skrev en slags beskrivelse
14:43
of what it felt like to have had this anxiety.
323
868000
3000
af, hvordan det føles af have ængstelighed.
14:46
And so what I decided to do.
324
871000
2000
Og hvad jeg besluttede mig for at gøre.
14:48
I said, "Okay, I'll think about it."
325
873000
2000
Jeg sagde, "Okay, jeg vil tænke over det."
14:50
And so quietly in the background, I started sending people this.
326
875000
3000
Og så stille i baggrunden, startede jeg at sende folk det her.
14:57
(Audio) ♫ Hey ♫
327
882000
2000
(Lyd) ♫ Hey ♫
14:59
♫ You're okay ♫
328
884000
3000
♫ Du er okay ♫
15:03
♫ You'll be fine ♫
329
888000
3000
♫ Du klarer den ♫
15:06
So I asked people
330
891000
2000
Så jeg spurgte folk,
15:08
whether they had basic audio capabilities,
331
893000
3000
om de havde basale lydkapaciteter,
15:11
just so they could sing along to the song with headphones on,
332
896000
3000
bare så de kunne synge med på sangen med hovedtelefoner på,
15:14
so I could just get their voices back.
333
899000
2000
så jeg kunne få deres stemmer sendt tilbage.
15:16
And this is the kind of thing that I got back.
334
901000
3000
Og det her er den slags ting jeg fik tilbage.
15:21
Recording: ♫ Hey ♫
335
906000
3000
Optagelse: ♫ Hey ♫
15:24
♫ You're okay ♫
336
909000
3000
♫ Du er okay ♫
15:28
♫ You'll be fine ♫
337
913000
3000
♫ Du klarer den ♫
15:31
ZF: So that's one of the better ones, really.
338
916000
2000
ZF: Så det var en af de bedre, helt ærligt.
15:33
But what's awesome is, as I started getting more and more and more of them,
339
918000
3000
Men det fede er, som jeg startede at få flere og flere og flere af dem,
15:36
all of a sudden I had 30, 40 voices from around the world.
340
921000
3000
havde jeg lige pludselig 30, 40 stemmer fra hele verden.
15:40
And when you put them together, something magical happens,
341
925000
3000
Og når du sætter dem sammen, sker der noget magisk,
15:43
something absolutely incredible happens,
342
928000
2000
noget helt utroligt sker,
15:45
and all of a sudden I get a chorus from around the world.
343
930000
3000
og lige pludselig fik jeg et omkvæd fra hele verden.
15:48
And what was really great is, I'm putting all this work together in the background,
344
933000
3000
Og det der er virkelig godt er, jeg satte alt det her sammen i baggrunden,
15:51
and Laura sent me a follow-up email because a good month had passed by.
345
936000
3000
og Laura sendte mig følgende email, fordi en god måned var gået.
15:54
And she said, "I know you've forgotten about me.
346
939000
3000
Og hun sagde, "Jeg ved at, at du har glemt alt om mig
15:57
I just want to say thanks for even considering it."
347
942000
3000
jeg ville bare sige tak, fordi du overvejede det."
16:01
And then a few days later I sent her this.
348
946000
3000
Og få dage senere sendte jeg hende der her.
16:06
(Audio) ♫ Right now, it feels like I forgot to turn the light on ♫
349
951000
7000
(Lyd) ♫ Lige nu føles det som om, jeg har glemt at tænde lyset ♫
16:14
♫ And things that looked so good yesterday ♫
350
959000
4000
♫ Og alt det der så godt ud i går ♫
16:18
♫ are now shades of gray ♫
351
963000
3000
♫ er skiftet til triste syn ♫
16:21
♫ And it seems like the world is spinning ♫
352
966000
4000
♫ Og det føles som om verden snurrer, ♫
16:25
♫ while I'm standing still ♫
353
970000
3000
♫ mens jeg står stille♫
16:28
♫ Or maybe I am spinning I can't tell ♫
354
973000
5000
♫ Eller måske er det mig der snurrer, jeg ved det ikke ♫
16:33
♫ And then you say ♫
355
978000
2000
♫ Og så siger du ♫
16:35
♫ Hey ♫

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ze Frank - Humorist, web artistZe Frank rose to fame on a viral video -- in 2001! He has been making online comedy, web toys and massively shared experiences (like the addictive Young Me Now Me) ever since.
Why you should listen
Ever since his "How to Dance Properly" viral video -- born as a party invite for 17 friends -- hit the Web in 2001, Ze Frank has been making people giggle, guffaw and gasp out loud whilst procrastinating at work. He defines, in many ways, the genre of online comedy, and continues to innovate madly on the form.
In 2006 he launched a year-long daily video blog called The Show with Ze Frank, which Slate.com called "the best sustained comedy run in the history of the Web." His rapid-fire delivery and absurd explorations in audience participation (like Earth Sandwich) has influenced a generation of digital native YouTubers. Perhap his most brilliant move: calling on fans to write the show for him. Using collaborative tools, online viewers collectively put words in his mouth (and props in his lap); he faithfully performed this wiki-comedy each week for his "Fabuloso Friday" show.
In 2008, along with Erik Kastner, Frank launched Colowars, the first massively multiplayer game on Twitter, which featured two months of sponsored online events and competitions. Recently he has worked with his audience to create a series of projects based on shared emotions such as pain, fear and the pang of nostalgia. Frank works as a consultant to range of industries on audience engagement and is a public speaker on the subject of the virtual life.
In 2012 he returned to the internet airwaves with "A Show." About which a MetaFilter commenter wrote:
If this were a cult, I would join.
If this were a religion, I would attend services.
If this were a band, I would not torrent the albums, but buy them, full price, from a local independent record store.
If this were a telethon, I would buy multiple tote bags.
Welcome back, Ze.
