Dalam sesi dialog yang jujur dan menyegarkan, dia mengeksplorasi bagaimana model yang digerakkan oleh atensi milik para perusahaan teknologi raksasa memengaruhi kreativitas kita -- dan berbagi perasaan yang lebih kuat daripada mendapatkan perhatian: memerhatikan.

It's a powerful feeling, to get attention.

Mendapat perhatian adalah perasaan
yang sangat kuat.
yang sangat kuat.
00:28
I'm an actor, so I'm a bit
of an expert on, well, nothing, really.

Saya adalah seorang aktor, jadi --
saya cukup ahli dalam,
sebenarnya tidak dalam apa pun.
sebenarnya tidak dalam apa pun.
00:33
(Laughter)
5
21391
1151
(Tertawa)
Tapi saya tahu rasanya diperhatikan --
00:34
But I do know what it feels like
to get attention --

6
22566
2464
Saya beruntung dapat perhatian lebih
dari yang seharusnya

00:37
I've been lucky in my life
7
25054
1295
00:38
to get a lot more
than my fair share of attention.
than my fair share of attention.
8
26373
2410
00:40
And I'm grateful for that,
9
28807
1699
dan saya bersyukur,
00:42
because like I said,
it's a powerful feeling.
it's a powerful feeling.
10
30530
2515
karena itu adalah perasaan yang
sangat kuat.
sangat kuat.
00:46
But there's another powerful feeling
11
34950
2290
Tapi ada perasaan kuat lainnya
00:49
that I've also been lucky
to experience a lot as an actor.
to experience a lot as an actor.
12
37264
3365
yang untungnya sering saya alami
sebagai seorang aktor.
sebagai seorang aktor.
00:52
And it's funny, it's sort of
the opposite feeling,
the opposite feeling,
13
40653
2357
Lucunya, itu bertolak belakang
karena datangnya bukan dari
mendapat perhatian.
mendapat perhatian.
00:55
because it doesn't come
from getting attention.
from getting attention.
14
43034
2491
00:57
It comes from paying attention.
15
45549
2067
Tapi dari memberi perhatian.
01:00
When I'm acting,
16
48831
1770
Ketika saya berakting,
01:02
I get so focused that I'm only
paying attention to one thing.
paying attention to one thing.
17
50625
4396
saya begitu fokus sehingga saya hanya
memerhatikan satu hal.
memerhatikan satu hal.
01:07
Like when I'm on set
and we're about to shoot
and we're about to shoot
18
55045
3310
Ketika saya berada di lokasi
dan akan mulai syuting
dan akan mulai syuting
01:10
and the first AD calls out "Rolling!"
19
58379
2650
dan asisten sutradara bilang, "Rolling!"
01:13
And then I hear "speed," "marker," "set,"
20
61053
2381
Lalu saya mendengar "speed", "marker",
"set",
"set",
01:15
and then the director calls "Action!"
21
63458
2571
kemudian sutradara berseru, "Action!"
01:18
I've heard that sequence so many times,
22
66053
2004
Saya telah mendengarnya berkali-kali
01:20
like, it's become this Pavlovian
magic spell for me.
magic spell for me.
23
68081
3630
mereka menjadi seperti mantra sihir
Pavlovian bagi saya.
Pavlovian bagi saya.
01:23
"Rolling," "speed," "marker,"
"set" and "action."
"set" and "action."
24
71735
3618
"Rolling," "speed," "marker,"
"set," dan "action."
"set," dan "action."
01:27
Something happens to me,
I can't even help it.
I can't even help it.
25
75377
2754
Sesuatu terjadi pada saya, yang tak
bisa saya tahan
bisa saya tahan
01:30
My attention ...
26
78465
1687
Perhatian saya...
01:33
narrows.
27
81389
1159
menyempit.
01:34
And everything else in the world,
28
82572
1968
Dan segalanya di dunia, yang mengganggu
01:36
anything else that might be bothering me
or might grab my attention,
or might grab my attention,
29
84564
5773
atau mencuri perhatian saya
01:42
it all goes away, and I'm just ... there.
30
90361
4336
semuanya hilang, dan saya ada di situ.
01:48
And that feeling, that is what I love,
31
96347
4207
Itu adalah perasaan yang saya cintai,
01:52
that, to me, is creativity.
32
100578
1347
Bagi saya, itu kreativitas.
01:53
And that's the biggest reason
I'm so grateful that I get to be an actor.
I'm so grateful that I get to be an actor.
33
101949
3485
Dan alasan terbesar kenapa saya
bersyukur menjadi aktor.
bersyukur menjadi aktor.
01:58
So, there's these two powerful feelings.
34
106276
3236
Jadi, ada dua perasaan yang sangat kuat.
02:01
There's getting attention
and paying attention.
and paying attention.
35
109843
3644
Diperhatikan dan memerhatikan.
02:06
Of course, in the last decade or so,
36
114137
1778
Dalam beberapa dekade terakhir,
teknologi baru --
teknologi baru --
02:07
new technology has allowed
more and more people
more and more people
37
115939
2217
membuat lebih banyak orang merasa kuat
karena mendapat perhatian.
karena mendapat perhatian.
02:10
to have this powerful feeling
of getting attention.
of getting attention.
38
118180
3690
02:14
For any kind of creative
expression, not just acting.
expression, not just acting.
39
122228
2484
Untuk berbagai ekspresi kreatif,
tidak hanya akting.
tidak hanya akting.
02:16
It could be writing or photography
or drawing, music -- everything.
or drawing, music -- everything.
40
124736
3590
Bisa berupa menulis, fotografi,
menggambar, musik, semuanya.
menggambar, musik, semuanya.
02:20
The channels of distribution
have been democratized,
have been democratized,
41
128350
3500
Saluran distribusi sudah didemokratisasi,
02:23
and that's a good thing.
42
131874
1600
dan itu adalah hal yang baik.
02:27
But I do think there's
an unintended consequence
an unintended consequence
43
135430
2761
Tapi saya merasa ada konsekuensi
yang tidak diinginkan
yang tidak diinginkan
02:30
for anybody on the planet
with an urge to be creative --
with an urge to be creative --
44
138215
5111
bagi siapa pun dengan dorongan
untuk menjadi kreatif --
untuk menjadi kreatif --
02:35
myself included,
because I'm not immune to this.
because I'm not immune to this.
45
143350
3332
termasuk saya sendiri, karena
saya tidak kebal darinya.
saya tidak kebal darinya.
02:39
I think that our creativity
46
147284
3039
Saya merasa kreativitas kita
02:42
is becoming more and more
of a means to an end --
of a means to an end --
47
150347
4071
telah menjadi lebih ke usaha
untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang lain--
untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang lain--
02:47
and that end is to get attention.
48
155371
3116
dan itu adalah demi mendapatkan atensi.
02:51
And so I feel compelled to speak up
49
159561
1731
Jadi saya merasa terdorong untuk bicara
karena dalam pengalaman saya,
karena dalam pengalaman saya,
02:53
because in my experience,
50
161316
2729
02:56
the more I go after that powerful
feeling of paying attention,
feeling of paying attention,
51
164069
3397
semakin saya mengejar perasaan kuat
dari memerhatikan,
dari memerhatikan,
02:59
the happier I am.
52
167490
1388
saya semakin bahagia.
03:01
But the more I go after
the powerful feeling of getting attention,
the powerful feeling of getting attention,
53
169688
5040
Tapi semakin saya mengejar perasaan
kuat dari mendapat perhatian,
kuat dari mendapat perhatian,
03:06
the unhappier I am.
54
174752
1267
semakin saya tidak bahagia.
03:08
(One person claps)
55
176331
1158
(Seseorang bertepuk tangan)
03:09
And -- thanks.
56
177513
2093
Terima kasih.
03:11
(Laughter)
57
179630
1950
(Tertawa)
(Tepuk tangan)
03:13
(Applause)
58
181604
4629
03:18
So this is something
that goes way back for me.
that goes way back for me.
59
186257
2979
Ini sesuatu yang saya alami dulu sekali.
03:21
I think the first time I can remember
using my acting to get attention,
using my acting to get attention,
60
189260
5008
Pertama kali saya menggunakan
akting untuk mendapat perhatian,
akting untuk mendapat perhatian,
03:26
I was eight years old at summer camp.
61
194292
2332
saya berusia delapan tahun di
perkemahan musim panas.
perkemahan musim panas.
03:28
And I'd been going on auditions
for about a year by then,
for about a year by then,
62
196950
2675
Saya sudah mengikuti audisi sekitar
satu tahun,
satu tahun,
dan saya beruntung mendapatkan
beberapa peran kecil
beberapa peran kecil
03:31
and I'd been lucky to get some small parts
63
199649
2301
03:33
in TV shows and commercials,
64
201974
1794
di acara TV dan iklan,
03:35
and I bragged about it a lot,
that summer at camp.
that summer at camp.
65
203792
4847
jadi saya sering pamer tentang hal itu
di perkemahan.
di perkemahan.
03:40
And at first, it worked.
66
208663
2255
Pertama-tama, itu berhasil.
03:42
The other kids gave me
a bunch of extra attention,
a bunch of extra attention,
67
210942
2707
Anak-anak lain memberikan saya
perhatian lebih,
perhatian lebih,
03:45
because I had been on "Family Ties."
68
213673
2474
karena saya pernah tampil di
"Family Ties."
"Family Ties."
03:48
That's a picture of me on "Family Ties."
69
216506
1927
Itu foto saya di "Family Ties."
(Tertawa)
03:50
(Laughter)
70
218457
1023
Lalu, situasinya berbalik.
03:51
Then, the tide turned --
71
219504
1462
03:52
I think I took it too far
with the bragging.
with the bragging.
72
220990
2071
Saya rasa saya pamer berlebihan.
03:55
And then, the other kids
started to make fun of me.
started to make fun of me.
73
223085
3488
Lalu, mereka mulai mempermainkan saya.
03:59
I remember there was this one girl
I had a crush on, Rocky.
I had a crush on, Rocky.
74
227676
4817
Saya ingat ada anak perempuan yang
saya suka, Rocky.
saya suka, Rocky.
04:04
Her name was Rachel, she went by Rocky.
75
232517
2095
Namanya Rachel, tapi dia dipanggil Rocky.
04:07
And she was beautiful, and she could sing,
76
235045
2642
Dia cantik dan bisa bernyanyi.
04:09
and I was smitten with her,
and I was standing there, bragging.
and I was standing there, bragging.
77
237711
3263
Saya tertarik padanya,
dan saya berdiri di sana, membual.
dan saya berdiri di sana, membual.
04:13
And she turned to me
and she called me a show-off.
and she called me a show-off.
78
241720
2603
Dia berbalik dan memanggil
saya tukang pamer.
saya tukang pamer.
04:16
Which I 100 percent deserved.
79
244641
1933
Yang 100% pantas saya dapatkan.
Tapi rasanya tetap menyakitkan.
04:19
But you know, it still really hurt.
80
247149
2333
Dan --
04:22
And ever since that summer,
81
250056
2111
sejak musim panas itu, saya merasa ragu
untuk mencari perhatian lewat akting.
untuk mencari perhatian lewat akting.
04:24
I've had a certain hesitance
to seek attention for my acting.
to seek attention for my acting.
82
252191
4578
04:29
Sometimes, people would ask me,
83
257517
1764
Kadang, ada yang bertanya,
04:31
"Wait a minute,
if you don't like the attention,
if you don't like the attention,
84
259305
2254
"Jika kau tak suka perhatian,
kenapa jadi aktor?"
kenapa jadi aktor?"
04:33
then why are you an actor?"
85
261583
1293
04:34
And I'd be like,
86
262900
1173
"Karena akting bukan tentang itu, tapi
tentang seni."
tentang seni."
04:36
"Because that's not what acting's about,
man, it's about the art."
man, it's about the art."
87
264097
3175
Mereka pun menjawab, "OK, OK, kawan."
04:39
And they'd be like, "OK, OK, dude."
88
267296
1686
(Tertawa)
04:41
(Laughter)
89
269006
2008
04:43
And then Twitter came out.
90
271038
1733
Lalu Twitter muncul.
04:45
And I got totally hooked on it,
just like everybody else,
just like everybody else,
91
273125
2675
Saya pun ketagihan seperti yang lainnya,
yang membuat saya jadi seorang munafik.
04:47
which made me into a complete hypocrite.
92
275824
1944
Karena saat itu, saya sepenuhnya
memakai akting untuk mendapat perhatian.
memakai akting untuk mendapat perhatian.
04:49
Because at that point,
93
277792
1175
04:50
I was absolutely using my acting
to get attention.
to get attention.
94
278991
2579
04:53
I mean, what, did I think
I was just getting all these followers
I was just getting all these followers
95
281594
3348
Apakah saya mendapatkan banyak pengikut
karena cuitan saya yang cemerlang?
karena cuitan saya yang cemerlang?
04:56
because of my brilliant tweets?
96
284966
2249
04:59
I actually did think that -- I was like --
97
287625
2055
Jujur, saya sempat merasa begitu --
05:01
(Laughter)
98
289704
1008
(Tertawa)
05:02
"They don't just like me
because they saw me in 'Batman,'
because they saw me in 'Batman,'
99
290736
2745
Mereka tak hanya suka karena saya
ada di 'Batman',
ada di 'Batman',
mereka suka yang saya katakan,
saya mahir berkata-kata.
saya mahir berkata-kata.
05:05
they like what I have to say,
I've got a way with words."
I've got a way with words."
100
293505
2770
(Tertawa)
05:08
(Laughter)
101
296299
1659
05:09
And then in no time at all,
102
297982
1301
Tak lama, hal itu mulai memengaruhi
proses kreativitas saya.
proses kreativitas saya.
05:11
it started having an impact
on my dearly beloved creative process.
on my dearly beloved creative process.
103
299307
4229
05:16
It still does.
104
304504
1173
Sampai sekarang masih.
05:17
I try not to let it.
105
305701
1532
Saya usahakan tidak.
05:19
But you know, I'd be sitting there,
like, reading a script.
like, reading a script.
106
307257
3586
Tapi Anda tahu, saya bisa duduk,
membaca naskah.
membaca naskah.
05:23
And instead of thinking,
107
311306
1816
Dan alih-alih berpikir,
05:25
"How can I personally identify
with this character?"
with this character?"
108
313146
2476
Bagaimana saya mengidentifikasi
karakter ini?
karakter ini?
Atau bagaimana penonton bisa merasa
terhubung dengan ceritanya?
terhubung dengan ceritanya?
05:27
Or "How is the audience
going to relate to this story?"
going to relate to this story?"
109
315646
2921
05:30
I'm like, "What are people going to say
about this movie on Twitter?"
about this movie on Twitter?"
110
318591
3269
Saya malah berpikir, apa kata orang
tentang film ini di Twitter?
tentang film ini di Twitter?
05:33
And "What will I say back
111
321884
1268
Jawaban apa yang bagus dan sarkastik
supaya dapat banyak retweet
supaya dapat banyak retweet
05:35
that will be good and snarky enough
to get a lot of retweets,
to get a lot of retweets,
112
323176
2941
tapi tak kelewatan karena orang
suka dicerca,
suka dicerca,
05:38
but not too harsh,
113
326141
1162
dan saya tak mau diacuhkan.
05:39
because people love to get offended,
and I don't want to get canceled?"
and I don't want to get canceled?"
114
327327
3396
Ini adalah hal-hal yang saya pikirkan
ketika --
ketika --
05:42
These are the thoughts that enter my mind
115
330747
2009
ketika saya seharusnya membaca naskah,
mencoba menjadi seorang artis.
mencoba menjadi seorang artis.
05:44
when I'm supposed to be reading a script,
trying to be an artist.
trying to be an artist.
116
332780
3062
Saya di sini bukan untuk mengatakan
teknologi adalah musuh kreativitas.
teknologi adalah musuh kreativitas.
05:47
And I'm not here to tell you
117
335866
1418
05:49
that technology
is the enemy of creativity.
is the enemy of creativity.
118
337308
2369
Bukan begitu.
05:51
I don't think that.
119
339701
1167
Teknologi hanyalah alat.
05:52
I think tech is just a tool.
120
340892
1364
Ia punya potensi mengembangkan kreativitas
manusia yang tak ada sebelumnya.
manusia yang tak ada sebelumnya.
05:54
It has the potential to foster
unprecedented human creativity.
unprecedented human creativity.
121
342280
3924
05:58
Like, I even started
an online community called HITRECORD,
an online community called HITRECORD,
122
346228
3615
Saya bahkan memulai sebuah komunitas
online bernama HITRECORD,
online bernama HITRECORD,
06:01
where people all over the world
123
349867
1520
di mana orang-orang dari seluruh dunia
berkolaborasi dalam proyek kreatif,
berkolaborasi dalam proyek kreatif,
06:03
collaborate on all kinds
of creative projects,
of creative projects,
124
351411
2154
06:05
so I don't think that social media
or smartphones or any technology
or smartphones or any technology
125
353589
5212
jadi saya tidak merasa media sosial,
ponsel atau teknologi apa pun bermasalah,
ponsel atau teknologi apa pun bermasalah,
06:10
is problematic in and of itself.
126
358825
1886
Tapi...
06:14
But ...
127
362620
1150
06:16
if we're going to talk
about the perils of creativity
about the perils of creativity
128
364705
2681
jika kita hendak membahas tentang
bahaya kreativitas
bahaya kreativitas
06:19
becoming a means to get attention,
129
367410
2317
yang menjadi alat untuk mendapatkan
perhatian,
perhatian,
06:21
then we have to talk about
the attention-driven business model
the attention-driven business model
130
369751
4341
tentu kita harus bicara tentang pola
bisnis perusahaan media sosial
bisnis perusahaan media sosial
yang digerakkan oleh atensi.
06:26
of today's big social media
companies, right?
companies, right?
131
374116
2113

06:31
This will be familiar territory
for some of you,
for some of you,
133
379348
2245
Ini akan jadi area yang familiar bagi
sebagian, tapi pertanyaannya relevan,
sebagian, tapi pertanyaannya relevan,
06:33
but it's a really relevant question here:
134
381617
1985
Bagaimana platform media sosial seperti
Instagram menghasilkan uang?
Instagram menghasilkan uang?
06:35
How does a social media platform
135
383626
1594
06:37
like, for example, Instagram, make money?
136
385244
2600
06:40
It's not selling
a photo-sharing service --
a photo-sharing service --
137
388649
2090
Mereka bukan penyedia bisnis
berbagi foto -- itu gratis.
berbagi foto -- itu gratis.
06:42
that part's free.
138
390763
1173
Lalu apa?
06:43
So what is it selling?
139
391960
1175
Mereka menjual atensi.
06:45
It's selling attention.
140
393159
1158
Mereka menjual atensi para pengguna
ke pemasang iklan.
ke pemasang iklan.
06:46
It's selling the attention
of its users to advertisers.
of its users to advertisers.
141
394341
2624
06:48
And there's a lot of discussion right now
142
396989
1953
Ada banyak perbincangan sekarang
tentang seberapa besar atensi yang
diberikan ke hal-hal seperti Instagram
diberikan ke hal-hal seperti Instagram
06:50
about how much attention we're all giving
to things like Instagram,
to things like Instagram,
143
398966
3716
06:54
but my question is:
144
402706
1244
tapi pertanyaan saya,
06:55
How is Instagram getting
so much attention?
so much attention?
145
403974
2654
Bagaimana Instagram mendapatkan
begitu banyak atensi?
begitu banyak atensi?
06:59
We get it for them.
146
407934
1267
Kita yang mendapatkannya untuk mereka.
07:02
Anytime somebody posts on Instagram,
147
410141
2936
Ketika seseorang mengunggah di Instagram,
07:05
they get a certain amount of attention
from their followers,
from their followers,
148
413101
2818
mereka mendapat sejumlah
atensi dari pengikutnya,
atensi dari pengikutnya,
walaupun mereka hanya punya sedikit
atau jutaan pengikut.
atau jutaan pengikut.
07:07
whether they have a few followers
or a few million followers.
or a few million followers.
149
415943
2864
07:10
And the more attention you're able to get,
150
418831
3072
Semakin banyak atensi yang didapat,
makin besar atensi yang Instagram jual.
07:13
the more attention
Instagram is able to sell.
Instagram is able to sell.
151
421927
2789
07:16
So it's in Instagram's interest
152
424740
2301
Jadi Instagram berkepentingan
07:19
for you to get as much
attention as possible.
attention as possible.
153
427065
2488
agar Anda mendapat atensi
sebesar mungkin.
sebesar mungkin.
07:22
And so it trains you
to want that attention,
to want that attention,
154
430256
3402
Mereka melatih Anda menginginkan
atensi itu,
atensi itu,
07:25
to crave it, to feel stressed out
when you're not getting enough of it.
when you're not getting enough of it.
155
433682
3520
mendambakannya, dan merasa frustasi saat
tak cukup mendapatkannya.
tak cukup mendapatkannya.
07:30
Instagram gets its users addicted
156
438457
3524
Instagram membuat para penggunanya
ketagihan
ketagihan
07:34
to the powerful feeling
of getting attention.
of getting attention.
157
442005
2713
akan perasaan kuat dari
mendapatkan atensi.
mendapatkan atensi.
07:38
And I know we all joke, like,
"Oh my God, I'm so addicted to my phone,"
"Oh my God, I'm so addicted to my phone,"
158
446053
3422
Saya tahu kita semua bergurau,
"Ya Tuhan, saya kecanduan ponsel,"
"Ya Tuhan, saya kecanduan ponsel,"
tapi ini adalah kecanduan yang nyata.
07:41
but this is a real addiction.
159
449499
1769
07:43
There's a whole science to it.
160
451292
1467
Ada ilmu yang mendalaminya.
07:44
If you're curious, I recommend
the work of Jaron Lanier,
the work of Jaron Lanier,
161
452783
2698
Kalau penasaran, saya anjurkan
karya Jaron Lanier,
karya Jaron Lanier,
07:47
Tristan Harris, Nir Eyal.
162
455505
2508
Tristan Harris, Nir Eyal.
07:50
But here's what I can tell you.
163
458513
1672
Ini yang bisa saya katakan.
07:52
Being addicted to getting attention
164
460712
2730
Kecanduan mendapat atensi
07:55
is just like being addicted
to anything else.
to anything else.
165
463466
2538
sama saja dengan kecanduan hal lain.
07:58
It's never enough.
166
466028
1200
Rasanya tak pernah cukup.
07:59
You start out and you're thinking,
167
467845
1739
Anda memulai dan berpikir,
08:01
"If only I had 1,000 followers,
that would feel amazing."
that would feel amazing."
168
469608
4073
"Jika saja saya punya 1.000 pengikut,
pasti rasanya luar biasa."
pasti rasanya luar biasa."
08:05
But then you're like, "Well,
once I get to 10,000 followers,"
once I get to 10,000 followers,"
169
473705
3380
Tapi kemudian Anda akan berpikir,
"Begitu saya dapat 10.000 pengikut,"
"Begitu saya dapat 10.000 pengikut,"
08:09
and, "Once I get to 100 --
170
477109
2287
"Begitu saya dapat 100 --
08:11
Once I get to a million followers,
then I'll feel amazing."
then I'll feel amazing."
171
479420
5080
Begitu saya dapat sejuta pengikut,
baru rasanya luar biasa."
baru rasanya luar biasa."
08:18
So I have 4.2 million
followers on Twitter --
followers on Twitter --
172
486389
3023
Saya punya 4,2 juta pengikut di Twitter --
tak pernah saya merasa luar biasa.
08:21
it's never made me feel amazing.
173
489436
1905
08:23
I'm not going to tell you
how many I have on Instagram,
how many I have on Instagram,
174
491365
2612
Saya tak akan beri tahu jumlahnya
di Instagram
di Instagram
karena saya malu akan betapa rendah
angkanya,
angkanya,
08:26
because I feel genuine shame
about how low the number is,
about how low the number is,
175
494001
3289
08:29
because I joined Instagram
after "Batman" came out.
after "Batman" came out.
176
497314
2968
karena saya bergabung di Instagram setelah
"Batman" dirilis.
"Batman" dirilis.
08:32
(Laughter)
177
500306
3468
(Tertawa)
08:35
And I search other actors,
178
503798
1242
Saya mencari aktor lain
08:37
and I see that their number
is higher than mine,
is higher than mine,
179
505064
2259
dan angka mereka lebih tinggi dari saya,
dan itu membuat saya merasa buruk.
08:39
and it makes me feel
terrible about myself.
terrible about myself.
180
507347
2762
08:42
Because the follower count
181
510450
2151
Karena jumlah pengikut
08:44
makes everybody feel terrible
about themselves.
about themselves.
182
512625
2397
membuat siapa saja merasa buruk
akan dirinya sendiri.
akan dirinya sendiri.
08:47
That feeling of inadequacy
is what drives you to post,
is what drives you to post,
183
515046
3118
Perasaan kekurangan itu yang memicu
Anda untuk mengunggah
Anda untuk mengunggah
08:50
so you can get more attention,
184
518188
1524
agar bisa mendapat lebih banyak atensi,
dan itu yang mereka jual,
dan itu yang mereka jual,
08:51
and then that attention that you get
is what these companies sell,
is what these companies sell,
185
519736
3125
itu cara mereka menghasilkan uang.
08:54
that's how they make their money.
186
522885
1828
08:58
So there is no amount
of attention you can get
of attention you can get
187
526067
3611
Jadi, tidak ada jumlah atensi yang
Anda dapat,
Anda dapat,
09:01
where you feel like you've arrived,
188
529702
2276
di mana Anda akan merasa sudah berhasil,
09:04
and you're like, "Ah, I'm good now."
189
532002
2818
ini sudah cukup.
09:07
And of course, there are a lot of actors
who are more famous than I am,
who are more famous than I am,
190
535992
3722
Tentu saja, ada banyak aktor yang
lebih terkenal daripada saya,
lebih terkenal daripada saya,
punya pengikut lebih banyak,
09:11
have more followers than I do,
191
539738
1491
tapi mereka akan mengatakan
hal yang sama.
hal yang sama.
09:13
but I bet you they would tell you
the same thing.
the same thing.
192
541253
2348
Jika kreativitasmu dipicu oleh hasrat
untuk mendapatkan atensi,
untuk mendapatkan atensi,
09:15
If your creativity is driven
by a desire to get attention,
by a desire to get attention,
193
543625
4928
09:20
you're never going to be
creatively fulfilled.
creatively fulfilled.
194
548577
2651
maka kau tak akan pernah merasa
terpenuhi secara kreatif.
terpenuhi secara kreatif.
Tapi saya punya kabar baik.
09:25
But I do have some good news.
195
553123
2532
09:28
There is this other powerful feeling.
196
556457
3007
Ada perasaan kuat lainnya.
09:32
Something else you can do
with your attention
with your attention
197
560290
2160
Yang bisa dilakukan dengan atensi Anda
selain membiarkannya dikendalikan dan
dijual oleh perusahaan IT.
dijual oleh perusahaan IT.
09:34
besides letting a giant tech company
control it and sell it.
control it and sell it.
198
562474
2959
09:38
This is that feeling I was talking about,
199
566347
1960
Inilah perasaan yang saya bicarakan,
kenapa saya mencintai akting--
kenapa saya mencintai akting--
09:40
why I love acting so much --
200
568331
1387
karena saya bisa fokus pada satu hal.
09:41
it's being able to pay attention
to just one thing.
to just one thing.
201
569742
3890
09:47
Turns out there's actually
some science behind this too.
some science behind this too.
202
575331
2705
Ternyata, ada ilmu juga di baliknya.
Psikolog dan ahli saraf --
09:50
Psychologists and neuroscientists --
203
578369
1802
09:52
they study a phenomenon they call flow,
204
580195
2420
mempelajari fenomena yang mereka sebut
"flow",
"flow",
09:54
which is this thing that happens
in the human brain
in the human brain
205
582639
2405
yaitu sesuatu yang terjadi dalam
otak manusia
otak manusia
ketika seseorang hanya berfokus
pada satu hal,
pada satu hal,
09:57
when someone pays attention
to just one thing,
to just one thing,
206
585068
2158
09:59
like something creative,
207
587250
1510
seperti sesuatu yang kreatif,
10:00
and manages not to get distracted
by anything else.
by anything else.
208
588784
3412
dan tidak terganggu oleh hal lain.
10:04
And some say the more regularly
you do this, the happier you'll be.
you do this, the happier you'll be.
209
592958
3933
Ada yang bilang, semakin sering Anda
melakukannya, Anda akan semakin bahagia.
melakukannya, Anda akan semakin bahagia.
10:10
Now I'm not a psychologist
or a neuroscientist.
or a neuroscientist.
210
598498
3032
Saya bukan psikolog atau ahli saraf.
10:13
But I can tell you,
for me, that is very true.
for me, that is very true.
211
601554
3133
Tapi saya bisa bilang, bagi saya,
itu benar adanya.
itu benar adanya.
10:17
It's not always easy, it's hard.
212
605498
2071
Itu tak selalu mudah, bahkan sulit.
10:19
To really pay attention
like this takes practice,
like this takes practice,
213
607593
2698
Memerhatikan seperti ini butuh latihan,
10:22
everybody does it their own way.
214
610315
1564
masing-masing punya cara sendiri.
10:23
But if there's one thing I can share
215
611903
1893
Jika ada satu hal yang bisa saya bagi,
10:25
that I think helps me focus
and really pay attention, it's this:
and really pay attention, it's this:
216
613820
4452
yang membantu saya untuk fokus dan
benar-benar memerhatikan adalah ini:
benar-benar memerhatikan adalah ini:
10:30
I try not to see other creative
people as my competitors.
people as my competitors.
217
618958
4702
Saya berusaha tidak melihat pelaku kreatif
lainnya sebagai saingan.
lainnya sebagai saingan.
10:36
I try to find collaborators.
218
624121
2079
Saya mencoba mencari kolaborator.
10:38
Like, if I'm acting in a scene,
219
626224
2579
Misalnya saya berakting di sebuah adegan,
10:40
if I start seeing the other actors
as my competitors, and I'm like,
as my competitors, and I'm like,
220
628827
3143
jika saya melihat aktor lain sebagai
saingan dan berpikir,
saingan dan berpikir,
"Mereka akan lebih diperhatikan
daripada saya,
daripada saya,
10:43
"God, they're going to get
more attention than I am,
more attention than I am,
221
631994
2469
orang-orang akan membicarakan performa
mereka daripada saya" --
mereka daripada saya" --
10:46
people are going to be talking
about their performance more than mine" --
about their performance more than mine" --
222
634487
3457
Saya sudah kehilangan fokus.
10:49
I've lost my focus.
223
637968
1168
Dan saya mungkin akan payah di
adegan itu.
adegan itu.
10:51
And I'm probably
going to suck in that scene.
going to suck in that scene.
224
639160
2290
10:53
But when I see the other actors
as collaborators,
as collaborators,
225
641474
3905
Tapi ketika saya melihat aktor lain
sebagai kolaborator,
sebagai kolaborator,
10:57
then it becomes almost easy to focus,
226
645403
3750
maka akan jadi mudah untuk fokus,
11:01
because I'm just paying attention to them.
227
649177
2463
karena saya hanya memerhatikan mereka.
11:04
And I don't have to think
about what I'm doing --
about what I'm doing --
228
652641
2298
Saya tak berpikir apa yang saya lakukan,
hanya bereaksi ke mereka
hanya bereaksi ke mereka
11:06
I react to what they're doing,
229
654963
1443
mereka bereaksi ke saya, dan kami
bisa saling menjaga.
bisa saling menjaga.
11:08
they react to what I'm doing,
230
656430
1416
11:09
and we can kind of
keep each other in it together.
keep each other in it together.
231
657870
2628
11:12
But I don't want you to think
it's only actors on a set
it's only actors on a set
232
660522
2644
Tapi saya tak mau Anda berpikir hanya
aktor yang bisa bekerja sama seperti ini.
aktor yang bisa bekerja sama seperti ini.
11:15
that can collaborate in this way.
233
663190
1612
Saya bisa ada di berbagai situasi kreatif.
11:16
I could be in whatever
kind of creative situation.
kind of creative situation.
234
664826
2406
Baik profesional, atau hanya untuk
senang-senang.
senang-senang.
11:19
It could be professional,
could be just for fun.
could be just for fun.
235
667256
2698
11:22
I could be collaborating with people
I'm not even in the same room with.
I'm not even in the same room with.
236
670636
3865
Saya bahkan bisa berkolaborasi dengan
mereka yang tidak seruangan.
mereka yang tidak seruangan.
Bahkan, beberapa karya favorit saya,
11:26
In fact, some of my favorite
things I've ever made,
things I've ever made,
237
674525
2472
dibuat bersama orang-orang yang
belum pernah saya temui.
belum pernah saya temui.
11:29
I made with people
that I never physically met.
that I never physically met.
238
677021
2271
Omong-omong,
11:31
And by the way,
239
679316
1166
ini, bagi saya, adalah keindahan internet.
11:32
this, to me, is the beauty
of the internet.
of the internet.
240
680506
2957
11:35
If we could just stop
competing for attention,
competing for attention,
241
683487
3154
Jika kita bisa berhenti bersaing demi
atensi,
atensi,
11:38
then the internet becomes
a great place to find collaborators.
a great place to find collaborators.
242
686665
3559
maka internet akan jadi tempat yang hebat
untuk mencari kolaborator.
untuk mencari kolaborator.
11:43
And once I'm collaborating
with other people,
with other people,
243
691411
4626
Dan ketika saya berkolaborasi dengan
orang lain,
orang lain,
11:48
whether they're on set,
or online, wherever,
or online, wherever,
244
696061
2568
baik di lokasi syuting, online,
di mana pun,
di mana pun,
11:51
that makes it so much easier
for me to find that flow,
for me to find that flow,
245
699553
3349
akan jadi lebih mudah bagi saya untuk
mencari 'flow' itu,
mencari 'flow' itu,
11:54
because we're all just paying attention
246
702926
2373
karena kita semua hanya memerhatikan
satu hal yang kami ciptakan bersama.
satu hal yang kami ciptakan bersama.
11:57
to the one thing
that we're making together.
that we're making together.
247
705323
2757
12:00
And I fell like I'm part
of something larger than myself,
of something larger than myself,
248
708104
3679
Dan saya merasa sebagai bagian dari
sesuatu yang lebih besar,
sesuatu yang lebih besar,
dan kami saling melindungi satu sama lain
12:03
and we all sort of shield each other
249
711807
2269
12:06
from anything else that might
otherwise grab our attention,
otherwise grab our attention,
250
714100
3342
dari hal-hal yang bisa mencuri
perhatian kami,
perhatian kami,
12:09
and we can all just be there.
251
717466
4474
dan kami bisa hanya ada di sana.
12:15
At least that's what works for me.
252
723763
2267
Setidaknya itu yang bekerja bagi saya.
Kadang-kadang.
12:19
Sometimes.
253
727486
1285
12:20
Sometimes -- it doesn't always work.
254
728795
1727
Kadang -- tak selalu berhasil.
Kadang, saya masih kecanduan hasrat
mendapatkan atensi.
mendapatkan atensi.
12:22
Sometimes, I still totally get
wrapped up in that addictive cycle
wrapped up in that addictive cycle
255
730546
3118
12:25
of wanting to get attention.
256
733688
1406
12:27
I mean, like, even right now,
257
735118
1903
Bahkan seperti sekarang ini,
12:29
can I honestly say there's not
some part of me here who's like,
some part of me here who's like,
258
737045
4005
jujur saya tak bisa bilang bahwa tidak ada
bagian dari diri saya yang berpikir,
bagian dari diri saya yang berpikir,
12:33
"Hey, everybody, look at me,
I'm giving a TED Talk!"
I'm giving a TED Talk!"
259
741074
2849
"Hey, semuanya, lihat, saya bicara
di TED Talk!"
di TED Talk!"
12:35
(Laughter)
260
743947
1246
(Tertawa)
12:37
There is -- there's, you know, some part.
261
745217
2915
Ada bagian yang seperti itu.
12:40
But I can also honestly say
262
748629

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Actor, filmmaker, entrepreneurAs an actor, filmmaker and founder of the online community HITRECORD, Joseph Gordon-Levitt seeks to inspire creativity through collaboration.
Why you should listen
In Joseph Gordon-Levitt's own words: "I'm lucky. I found a creative outlet young. I started working as an actor when I was six years old. When I was 19, I quit acting to go to college. And a few years later (yes, I dropped out) when I tried to get back into it, nobody would give me a part. That really hurt.
"I realized my old creative outlet wouldn't work anymore, because it depended too much on other people. I had to be able to express myself on my own. And my personal metaphor for this was the REC button. 'HIT RECORD,' I'd say to myself. Push the button. Get started. Make something.
"What started as a private rallying cry became a humble website, which grew into a worldwide community of hundreds of thousands, an Emmy-winning production company, and now a new collaborative media platform. Irony is, today's HITRECORD is not about expressing yourself on your own. What we've found over the years is that the best way for many people to find their creative outlet is through collaborating with others."
