Ono što su astronauti osjetili kada su vidjeli Zemlju iz svemira, zauvijek ih je promijenilo. Autor i umjetnik Benjamin Grant želi izazvati isti nadmoćni osjećaj i ljepotu u svakome od nas kroz niz zapanjujućih satelitskih snimki koje prikazuju kakav utjecaj ljudska bića imaju na planet. "Ako usvojimo širu perspektivu, prihvatimo istinu o tome što se uistinu događa i razmislimo o dugoročnom zdravlju našeg planeta, stvorit ćemo bolju, sigurniju i pametniju budućnost za naš jedan, jedini dom", navodi Grant.

to create one expansive

03:24
each roughly the size of an ambulance,

03:35
Now, what does this mean?
60
203280
1560
Što sve to znači?
03:37
Each of these satellites
is equipped with a camera

2376
Svaki je od tih satelita
opremljen kamerom

03:40
that has a focal length of 16 meters,
62
208000
2896
03:42
so that's roughly 290 times greater
63

što je otprilike 290 puta veće

03:57
we could take a picture of a football,

That's 450 kilometers away.
69
233040
2560
Radi se o udaljenosti od 450 kilometara.
04:08
That's incredibly powerful technology.
70
236560
2936
To je nevjerojatno snažna tehnologija.
04:11
And I decided at the beginning
of this project
of this project
71
239520
2496
Na početku ovoga projekta odlučio sam
04:14
that I would use
that incredible technology

72
242040
2456
da ću koristiti
tu nevjerojatnu tehnologiju

04:16
to focus on the places
73
244520
1896
kako bih se usredotočio na mjesta
04:18
where humans have impacted the planet.

04:32
we build cities, we move around,

gradimo gradove, selimo se,
04:35
we create waste.
79
263360
1336
stvaramo otpad.
04:36
And in the process
of doing all of these things,
of doing all of these things,
80
264720
3296
U tijeku događanja svega ovoga,
04:40
we shape landscapes and seascapes

the UN has built this area

Stoga, ako imate jedan ovakav prikaz,
tada imate jedan trenutak u vremenu.
08:38
you have a moment in time.
158

08:41
If we have two overviews, however,

we are able to tell stories
about changes in time.

and when we compare it to an image
captured just this year in 2017,

i kada usporedimo ovaj prikaz
s prikazom iz ove, 2017. godine,
s prikazom iz ove, 2017. godine,
vidimo izgrađeni izbjeglički kamp Zaatari.
10:24
we see the construction

ne biste mogli niti zamisliti
10:35
there is no way
that you could have imagined

193
623680
2176
10:37
what the places I just showed you

And that's the tension
I want to create with my work,
I want to create with my work,
198
639480

Taj učinak želim postići svojim radom,
10:54
because I believe
it is that contemplation,
it is that contemplation,
199
642320
3136
jer vjerujem da se promišljanjem,
tim unutarnjim dijalogom,
10:57
that internal dialogue
200
645480
1936
možemo dovesti do većeg

11:04
I believe that viewing the Earth
from the overview perspective

203
652960
2936
postalo važnije nego ikad prije.
11:07
is more important now than ever before.

if we can adopt
a more expansive perspective,
a more expansive perspective,
211
677400
3456
ako usvojimo širu perspektivu,
prihvatimo istinu o tome što se događa
11:32
embrace the truth of what is going on
