51
1972
我是凯莉·安德森。
00:19
I work as an artist艺术家 and designer设计师.
1
2573
2113
我是艺术家和设计师。
00:21
And I like to try to find
the hidden talents人才 of everyday每天 things.
2
4710
4186
我想尝试发现
日常物品中隐藏的闪光点。
00:25
So before I get started开始,
3
9354
1480
在我开始之前,
00:27
I want to show显示 you a fast快速 smattering一知半解
of some examples例子 of what I do.
4
10858
3972
我想先快速展示一下
我的所做的一些东西。
00:32
But this talk today今天
is really less about what I make
5
15877
2618
我所做的东西并不是很重要,
00:35
and is more about why I make these things.
6
18519
2408
重要的是为什么我做这些东西。
00:38
So, I get to tinker修补匠
with everyday每天 experiences经验.
7
22172
3502
我可以把玩日常经历。
00:43
As we go through通过 our everyday每天 lives生活,
8
26809
1851
在我们的日常生活中,
00:45
visual视觉 and experiential体验 things
exert发挥 this invisible无形 authority权威
9
28684
4061
视觉和感官无时无刻的
控制着我们的大脑。
00:49
over our brains大脑 at all times.
10
32769
2401
00:51
And they yield产量 this power功率
in subtle微妙 and sneaky偷偷摸摸 ways方法.
11
35194
2572
它们微妙而隐秘地工作。
00:54
So visuals视觉效果, for example, speak说话 volumes
through通过 these teeny蝇头, tiny details细节,
12
38195
4804
视觉,打个比方,
通过这些很小很小的细节,
00:59
codified编纂 in things like type类型,
13
43023
2472
并编程为类型、
01:03
shape形状,
14
47188
1272
形状、
01:05
color颜色
15
49469
1150
颜色、
01:08
and texture质地.
16
51931
1185
和质地。
01:10
So these small, picky挑剔 things
form形成 the vocabulary词汇
17
53513
4377
所以这些微妙的东西
形成了一个词汇表,
01:14
that come together一起 and make the sentences句子,
18
57914
2073
能够组合并创造句子,
01:17
enabling启用 us to make
tangible有形 things like ...
19
61091
2620
让我们能够制造有形的物体,
01:21
a solar-powered太阳能 Popsicle冰棒 truck卡车.
20
65227
1713
比如一个太阳能的冰淇淋车。
01:23
(Laughter笑声)
21

1047
(笑声)
01:24
It educates受教育者 the public上市
about renewable可再生 energy能源.
22
68035
2340
它让公众了解可再生能源。
01:26
It's basically基本上 a physical物理
infographic资料图 on wheels车轮.
23
70399
2861
它就像一个在轮子上的信息图表。
01:30
And this unexpected意外 pairing配对
of sugar, bright colors颜色
24
73934
3866
这个出人意料的搭配:
甜甜的糖、明亮的颜色、
01:34
and the threat威胁 of humanity's人类的
self-inflicted自作自受 demise让位
25
77824
3458
和人类自己造成的灾难,
01:37
actually其实 makes品牌 for a pretty漂亮
convincing使人信服 argument论据 for solar太阳能.
26
81306
3019
为太阳能做了很有力的宣传。
01:43
People arrive到达 at experiences经验
like these with expectations期望.
27
86562
3540
人们满怀期望来到这样的活动。
01:47
And when we make things,
28
90553
1162
当我们制造这些东西时,
01:48
we're actively积极地 choosing选择
what to do with those expectations期望.
29
91739
3523
我们积极地应对人们的期待。
01:52
In my work, I want to create创建
disruptive破坏性 wonder奇迹.
30
96355
3480
在我的工作中,
我想要创造出乎意料的东西。
01:56
I want to confound混淆 these expectations期望,
31
99859
2643
我想要打乱这些期待,
01:59
because I think that every一切 day,
32
102526
2208
因为我认为,每天
02:01
fundamental基本的 things
and experiences经验 frame reality现实
33
104758
3803
常见的东西和经历塑造着现实,
02:05
in a way that we often经常 take for granted理所当然.
34
108585
2052
让我们已经习以为常了。
02:07
The small things we make
35
111304
2026
我们制作的物品
02:09
can work to reinforce加强
our assumptions假设 about the world世界.
36
113354
3352
能够加深我们对世界的印象,
02:14
Or small things can come out of left field领域
37
117964
3198
或者,它们能够超乎平常,
02:17
and draw us into reassessing重新评估
our complacent自满 expectations期望 about reality现实.
38
121186
3993
让我们重新评估
我们对现实的期望。
02:22
This doesn't happen发生 often经常,
but when it does, it's awesome真棒.
39
126240
3179
这不经常发生,
但是如果发生了,结果真的很棒。
02:26
Because then, these small things act法案
as sort分类 of a humble谦卑 back door
40
129939
3670
因为这些小物品就像是一把钥匙,
02:30
into understanding理解 a reality现实
that's infinitely无限地 surprising奇怪.
41
133633
3477
打开了这个大千世界的大门。
02:35
So, as a little demonstration示范,
42
139383
1674
这是一个展示,
02:37
back to the most basic基本
and fundamental基本的 part部分 of myself again:
43
141081
3038
关于我最基本的一些理念:
02:40
my name名称, kellianderson凯利安德森.comCOM,
spelled拼写 out in block letters.
44
144143
3554
我的名字,
kellianderson.com,用方块字母展现。
02:44
This is how people find me in the world世界.
45
148207
1943
这是人们找到我的方式,
02:46
It means手段 me.
46
150174
1172
这意味着我这个人。
02:48
But in a more objective目的 sense,
47
152068
1725
从一个更客观的角度看,
02:50
it's really just this random随机
jumble混乱 of letters
48
153817
2183
这其实只是一些任意的字母,
02:52
that I've confined受限 to
the single possibility可能性 of making制造 my name名称.
49
156024
3296
只是我认为它们
想表达的是我的名字。
02:56
So naturally自然, I wondered想知道:
What else其他 can these letters spell拼写?
50
159918
3013
所以,我想,
这些字母还能拼出什么呢?
02:59
Turns out, all kinds
of interesting有趣 phrases短语, like ...
51
162955
4273
其实,它们能拼出
各种有趣的句子,比如,
03:06
"Ken doll娃娃 is near dot comCOM."
52
169732
2733
“肯尼玩偶在附近.com”
03:08
(Laughter笑声)
53
172489
1505
(笑声)
03:11
A little bit creepy爬行.
54
174853
1786
有一点吓人。
03:14
And "A colder更冷 melon skin皮肤."
55
178474
2133
或者“一个更冷的西瓜皮”。
03:18
Period.
56
181503
1154
”句号“
03:19
(Laughter笑声)
57
182681
1114
(笑声)
03:20
Far better use of those
kellianderson凯利安德森.comCOM letters,
58
183819
2412
这比kellianderson.com要有趣的多。
03:22
I'm sure you'll你会 agree同意.
59
186255
1623
我相信你会同意。
03:26
This is a dumb game游戏,
but it underscores下划线 a belief信仰 I have,
60
189545
4105
这是一个傻傻的游戏,
但是这强调了一个我的想法,
03:30
that the world世界 is full充分 of order订购
61
193674
1687
世界上充满了秩序,
03:31
that doesn't necessarily一定
deserve值得 our respect尊重.
62
195385
2795
但是它们并不一定需要被遵守。
03:34
Sometimes有时, there's meaning含义, justice正义
and logic逻辑 present当下 in the way things are.
63
198204
4353
有时候,
世界上有固定的意思、公平和逻辑。
03:39
But sometimes有时 there just isn't.
64
203163
1742
但是有的时候就没有。
03:42
I think that the moment时刻 we realize实现 this
is the moment时刻 we become成为 creative创作的 people,
65
205579
4196
我认为我们意识到这一点的时候,
我们就能成为创造力强的人,
03:46
because it prompts提示 us to mess食堂 things up
66
209799
2764
因为它让我们打乱一些东西,
03:49
and do something better
with the basic基本 pieces of experience经验.
67
212587
3164
让我们重新了解我们的经历。
03:54
What I'm after in my work,
really, is this:
68
217823
3609
我工作实际上所寻找的
03:57
the hidden talents人才 of everyday每天 things --
69
221456
2290
是日常物品中隐藏的闪光点,
04:00
all of those overlooked忽视 powers权力
bestowed追封 on the things that surround环绕 us
70
224236
3506
我们周围物体中所有被忽视的力量,
04:04
by the wonders奇迹 of physics物理,
the complexities复杂性 of cultural文化 associations协会
71
227766
4570
通过物理的神奇,文化的多变,
04:08
and a gazillion极大数 other
only partially部分 chartable图表 things.
72
232360
3380
和非常多其他无形的东西。
04:13
So today今天, I want to show显示 you
three projects项目
73
236563
2218
所以今天,我想展示三个项目,
04:15
that reconsider重新考虑 the vast广大 properties性能
of commonplace平凡 experience经验
74
238805
4462
它们完全重塑了日常经历的体验,
04:19
and try to do something better
by doing something more absurd荒诞.
75
243291
4171
并尝试做出一些更为荒谬的事情。
04:25
This first project项目 is a holiday假日 card
I made制作 for my friends朋友.
76
248864
3538
第一个项目是我给我朋友做的节日卡。
04:28
My goal目标 in this was
to get people to notice注意
77
252426
2485
我的目标是让人们意识到
04:31
this going-through-the-motions通过动作 holiday假日
thing that I'm sure we've我们已经 all felt before.
78
254935
4246
这种我们都体验过的走马光花式的节日。
04:36
And I did that through通过 a holiday假日 card,
79
259624
2464
这就是这个节日卡的目的所在,
04:38
of course课程.
80
262112
1495
理所当然。
04:40
From the outside, it looks容貌 pretty漂亮 normal正常.
81
263631
2177
从外观上看,它看着很普通。
04:43
But paper has this memory记忆;
82
267019
2460
但是纸有这种记忆功能,
04:46
paper never forgets忘记 how it was bent弯曲.
83
269503
2154
纸会记住折痕。
04:48
I was able能够 to use that material材料 memory记忆
84
271681
1968
我用了这种记忆功能
04:50
to guide指南 the recipient接受者
through通过 the experience经验 of the card.
85
273673
2816
来引导接受者使用这张卡。
04:53
So when you first pick it up,
86
276513
1626
所以当你第一次打开它,
04:54
while floppy软盘, it's clear明确 it wants
to bend弯曲 in all of these certain某些 ways方法.
87
278163
3664
摊平,很明显你需要顺着折痕。
04:58
As people tinker修补匠 with it,
88
281851
1695
当人们继续折的时候,
05:00
they discover发现 that bending弯曲 the card
brings带来 them through通过 this simple简单 story故事.
89
283570
3930
他们会了解这个简短的故事。
05:05
And as you can see,
it's a story故事 about itself本身.
90
288729
3135
你能看到,这个故事会回到起点。
05:08
(Laughter笑声)
91
291888
3135
(笑声)
05:11
This card is literally按照字面
a four-frame四帧 documentary记录
92
295047
3789
这张卡是一个四个画面的纪录片
05:15
about receiving接收 the card.
93
298860
1831
关于收到这场卡。
05:17
(Laughter笑声)
94
300715
2557
(笑声)
05:20
So it's a recursive递归 experience经验.
95
304499
2112
所以这是一个循环的过程。
05:23
(Applause掌声)
96
306635
1371
(鼓掌)
05:24
Oh, well, thank you.
97
308030
1760
谢谢。
05:28
This excites的激励 me, because it's a recursive递归
experience经验 of a holiday假日 card
98
312252
3490
这让我很激动,
因为这正是节日卡的循环过程,
05:32
that gets得到 the viewer观众 to feel
this repetitive重复 ritual仪式
99
315766
2412
让人们意识到
送节日卡这种多余的仪式。
05:34
of all holiday假日 cards.
100
318202
1370
05:37
And it begins开始 life
as a humble谦卑 piece of paper
101
320503
2369
从一张普通的纸开始,
05:39
that came来了 out of my inkjet喷墨 printer打印机.
102
322896
1784
从我的打印机开始。
05:41
I think that's pretty漂亮 cool.
103
325412
1657
我觉得这挺酷的。
05:45
In a sense, that project项目 was all about
ritual仪式 becoming变得 empty gesture手势.
104
328820
5539
可以说,这张卡想表达的是
有些仪式是没有意义的。
05:50
And it speaks说话 to the fact事实 that the more
an experience经验 repeats重复 itself本身,
105
334383
4192
当一个仪式被不断重复,
它的意义也越来越小。
05:55
the less it means手段 --
106
338599
1185
05:56
(Laughter笑声)
107
339808
1048
(笑声)
05:57
because we begin开始 to take it for granted理所当然.
108
340880
2628
因为我们会认为它是理所当然的。
06:00
And that's why cliches陈词滥调 aren't interesting有趣,
109
343532
2041
这是为什么陈词滥调很没无趣。
06:02
and why people get in
car汽车 wrecks沉船 near their homes家园.
110
345597
2357
为什么人们会在家门口出车祸。
06:04
When we experience经验 things
over and over again,
111
347978
2191
当我们重复不断的经历一件事情,
06:06
they just lose失去 their gravity重力.
112
350193
1634
这些事情就失去了吸引力。
06:09
So while paper does have
113
353207
1251
虽然纸真的
06:10
all of these astonishing惊人,
overlooked忽视 capabilities功能,
114
354482
3233
有很多被人遗忘的能力,
06:15
it takes a hell地狱 of a lot of intervention介入
into getting得到 us to see it as new again.
115
358534
3908
但是还是需要很多努力
才能把它们发掘出来。
06:19
This next下一个 project项目 I want to show显示 you
is a wedding婚礼 invitation请帖,
116
363313
3489
我想要展示的
下一个项目是一个婚礼请柬。
06:23
which哪一个 is a format格式
practically几乎 begging乞讨 for reinvention再造.
117
366826
3151
请柬真的有很多可以改变的地方。
06:26
(Laughter笑声)
118
370001
1702
(笑声)
06:28
This is a card I made制作
for my friends朋友 Mike麦克风 and Karen卡伦,
119
371727
2519
我为了我的朋友
麦克和凯伦做了这张卡,
06:30
who happen发生 to be really awesome真棒 people.
120
374270
2127
他们人真的很好,
06:33
Far more awesome真棒, in fact事实,
than the format格式 of wedding婚礼 invitations邀请函.
121
377118
3163
比婚礼请柬还要更好。
06:36
So it was a really good excuse借口
to push the boundaries边界 of this format格式.
122
380305
3331
所以在请柬上做
修改是很显而易见的事情。
06:41
And as far as how to push it,
123
384783
1485
至于如何修改,
06:42
the facts事实 of our shared共享
history历史 made制作 it clear明确
124
386292
2346
我们以往的经历
06:45
that this card should be about music音乐.
125
388662
1991
告诉我这张请柬应该和音乐有关。
06:47
We're all total music音乐 nerds书呆子,
126
390677
2007
我们都特别喜欢音乐,
06:49
and Karen卡伦 and Mike麦克风
have even recorded记录 songs歌曲 together一起.
127
392708
2666
凯伦和麦克以前一起录过歌。
06:52
But you know, you also find inspiration灵感
in the darnedest达尔内斯特 of places地方.
128
396128
4106
我在最不令人注意的地方找到了灵感,
06:57
And we found发现 some
with this guy, Mr先生. Wizard巫师 --
129
400766
3706
我找到了巫师先生,
07:00
(Laughter笑声)
130
404496
1176
(笑声)
他有一个令人喜爱的电视节目,
07:02
who had a much-beloved深受爱戴 TV电视 show显示,
131
405696
1626
07:03
teaching教学 kids孩子 about the science科学
behind背后 everyday每天 things.
132
407346
2923
教导孩子关于日常生活里的科学。
07:06
And I remembered记得 this episode插曲
that demonstrated证明 sound声音 is physical物理,
133
410293
3775
我记得有一集用一个简单的实验,
表明了声音是实体的。
07:10
with this simple简单 experiment实验.
134
414092
1589
07:12
He rolled热轧 up a cone锥体 of paper,
he taped录音 it shut关闭,
135
416408
2440
他卷了一张纸,用胶带粘好,
07:15
he taped录音 a needle to the end结束 of it,
and -- voilvoilà! -- it was a record记录 player播放机.
136
418872
5096
并粘上一根针,就变成了一个留声机。
07:21
I remember记得 seeing眼看 this as a kid孩子,
and it totally完全 blew自爆 my mind心神.
137
424554
4129
我记得在我小的时候,这让我茅塞顿开。
07:25
If you can make a record记录 player播放机
out of a piece of paper
138
429368
2620
如果你可以用一张纸和一根针
07:28
and a sewing针线活 needle,
139
432012
1156
制作一个留声机,
07:29
what isn't possible可能 out of the world世界?
140
433192
2077
世界上还有什么不可能的呢?
07:32
So I explained解释 this idea理念
to Mike麦克风 and Karen卡伦,
141
436058
2352
我向麦克和凯伦讲了这个主意,
07:34
and we all decided决定
that it would be way better
142
438434
2176
我们决定寄给宾客留声机的主意,
07:37
to make their guests宾客 paper record记录 players玩家,
143
440634
2143
比传统而无聊的请柬
07:39
rather than traditional传统,
boring无聊 invitations邀请函.
144
442801
2057
要有意思的多。
07:41
We started开始 getting得到 really, really excited兴奋.
145
444882
2448
我们非常的激动。
07:43
And I started开始 getting得到 really nervous紧张,
146
447354
1906
但我开始有点紧张,
07:45
because I'm the one
who had to actually其实 make it work.
147
449284
2579
因为我还要研究实施方案。
07:48
So I began开始 spending开支 an inordinate过度的 amount
of time thinking思维 about needles:
148
451887
3895
我开始花大量的时间研究针,
07:52
Like, would we find needles
with the right fidelity保真度?
149
455806
2639
比如,什么针有最好的硬度?
07:55
I started开始 calling调用 paper suppliers供应商,
150
459047
1651
我给纸供应商打电话,
07:57
looking for the paper
with the best最好 audio音频 properties性能.
151
460722
2492
想要找到音质最好的纸。
07:59
(Laughter笑声)
152
463238
1189
(笑声)
08:00
And they thought I was crazy.
153
464451
1656
他们觉得我疯了。
08:05
Meanwhile与此同时, Mike麦克风 and Karen卡伦
were recording记录 a song歌曲,
154
468504
2365
同时,麦克和凯伦录了一首歌,
08:07
which哪一个 they had mastered掌握
to a clear明确 flexi灵活 disc圆盘.
155
470893
2364
录在一张弹性盘上。
08:10
I had this black-and-white黑与白
character字符 printed印刷的 on it,
156
473770
2628
上面印有黑白的人物,
08:12
so that way, when the disc圆盘 is turned转身,
157
476422
1859
所以,当这张盘在转的时候,
08:14
it completes完成 the couple一对
in all of these different不同 guises伪装.
158
478305
2934
这对夫妻穿着不同的服装。
08:17
(Laughter笑声)
159
481263
1780
(笑声)
08:20
So we did it, we really did it!
160
484356
1546
我们做到了,我们真的做到了!
08:22
We made制作 a paper record记录 player播放机 --
161
485926
1810
我们做了一个纸留声机,
08:24
200 recipient-operated沉淀者经营
paper record记录 players玩家.
162
487760
3292
两百个人工操作的留声机。
08:27
This is an actual实际 recording记录
of how it sounds声音.
163
491076
2935
它听起来是这样的,
08:30
And then it segues塞格 into
the real真实 song歌曲 for comparison对照.
164
494035
3300
还有和真的歌曲的对比。
08:36
(Music音乐 and singing唱歌)
165
500446
1679
(音乐和歌声)
09:00
(Music音乐 ends结束)
166
523873
1498
(音乐结束)
09:03
We were so excited兴奋
when we finally最后 got that to work.
167
526785
2512
我们真的很激动我们做到了。
09:05
(Laughter笑声)
168
529321
1545
(笑声)
09:07
And I was excited兴奋 that we uncovered裸露
this hidden talent天赋 of paper
169
530890
3448
我很激动我在这个过程中,
揭示纸隐藏的闪光点。
09:10
in the process处理.
170
534362
1279
09:13
I also love that project项目
because it brings带来 attention注意 to the fact事实
171
537405
3919
我喜欢这个项目还因为
09:17
that we approach途径 media媒体
with all these expectations期望
172
541348
2744
它揭示了我们对媒体
09:20
that we do not necessarily一定 need.
173
544116
2162
有不必要的期待。
09:23
We have assumptions假设
about material材料 experience经验,
174
547313
2704
我们对物体有臆测,
09:26
like that paper should be silent无声
or that websites网站 should be flat平面.
175
550041
3294
比如纸应该是没有声音的,
或者网站应该是二维的。
09:30
But we also have these assumptions假设 --
176
554191
1905
但是我们也有一些臆测
09:32
(Laughter笑声)
177
556120
1254
(笑声)
09:33
that should be a lot scarier可怕
in a democracy民主,
178
557398
2736
在一个民主社会,是很可怕的。
09:36
because they're like
these little thought loopholes漏洞.
179
560158
2519
因为这些想法让我们深陷其中。
09:39
We sleepwalk梦游 through通过 our assumptions假设
about the authority权威 in media媒体
180
562701
3108
我们沉浸在我们对媒体的臆想中,
09:42
and assumptions假设 put forth向前 about political政治
realities现实 by media媒体, like newspapers报纸.
181
565833
4989
我们认为报纸和其他媒体
所传播的都是事实。
09:47
But I, for one, have faith信仰
in these small, hacked砍死 experiences经验
182
571427
4306
但是,我想用这些小小的项目,
09:52
to inspire启发 a sense of skepticism怀疑论
183
575757
2168
来对我们所接收到的有限的现实
09:54
at this limited有限 reality现实 we've我们已经 been handed.
184
577949
2593
提出质疑。
09:57
And this next下一个 project项目
demonstrates演示 just that.
185
581026
2947
下一个项目的意义正为如此。
10:02
Imagine想像 your normal正常, everyday每天
commuter-newspaper-reading通勤报纸阅读 ritual仪式.
186
585510
3489
想象你每天读报纸的习惯。
10:06
But what if you are handed a paper filled填充
with stories故事 from an alternate备用 reality现实?
187
589852
5263
如果你收到一张报纸
来自另外一个虚构的现实,
10:11
(Laughter笑声)
188
595139
2038
(笑声)
具体来说,
比如一个疯子故意修改一张报纸
10:13
Specifically特别: What if some crazy person
had meticulously精心 recreated重建 a typical典型 paper
189
597201
4692
10:18
depicting描绘 an alternate备用 reality现实?
190
601917
2466
描绘一个虚构的现实?
10:22
This is something we actually其实 did do
in the fall秋季 of 2008,
191
606121
3422
我们真的在2008年秋天做了这个,
10:26
in a project项目 that was conceptualized概念化
by artist艺术家 Steve史蒂夫 Lambert兰伯特,
192
609567
2859
艺术家史蒂夫·兰伯特实施了这个项目,
10:28
organized有组织的 by The Yes Men男人
193
612450
1375
和其他两位艺术家,
10:30
and executed执行 by many许多, many许多 people,
some of whom are me.
194
613849
4055
并由包括我的很多人执行。
10:35
We made制作 a perfectly完美 counterfeited伪造
"New York纽约 Times."
195
618511
3142
我们造假了一份纽约时报,
10:38
We didn't ask anyone任何人
for permission允许, we just did it.
196
622288
2558
我们没有请求许可,我们直接做了。
10:41
(Laughter笑声)
197
624870
1044
(笑声)
10:42
We had it mass-produced大规模生产的,
198
625938
1221
报纸被大量生产,
10:43
and we put it in the hands of hundreds数以百计
of thousands数千 of commuters乘客
199
627183
3102
并在一个周四的早上,
10:46
on a Thursday星期四 morning早上 in New York纽约 City.
200
630309
2172
被递给了上十万纽约的行人。
10:49
(Laughter笑声)
201
632505
1211
(笑声)
10:50
(Applause掌声 and cheers干杯)
202
633740
2728
(鼓掌和欢呼)
10:52
Thanks谢谢!
203
636492
1151
谢谢!
10:54
(Applause掌声)
204
637667
1511
(鼓掌)
10:58
"Why?," you might威力 ask.
205
641573
1444
你可能会问为什么。
10:59
"Why make a fake newspaper报纸?"
206
643041
2516
为什么要造假一份报纸?
11:04
Well, quite相当 frankly坦率地说, because the real真实
newspaper报纸 is depressing压抑.
207
648079
3277
坦白来说,因为真的报纸很让人失望。
我们表面上住在一个民主社会,
11:07
We ostensibly表面上 live生活 in a democracy民主
208
651380
1835
11:09
where we should have some say
in what happens发生 in the world世界.
209
653239
2802
我们应该对世界上的事情有发言权。
11:12
But the truth真相 is, we never see the stories故事
we want to see in the newspaper报纸.
210
656065
3575
但是事实上,
我们在报纸上看不到我们想看的故事。
11:16
So we made制作 a paper with only good news新闻.
211
660198
2503
所以我们的报纸只有好消息。
11:19
(Laughter笑声)
212
662725
1031
(笑声)
11:20
We put in all the policy政策 ideas思路
we thought would actually其实 help the world世界.
213
663780
3603
包含着我们认为会帮助全人类的政策。
11:23
Years年份 before the withdrawal退出
was even discussed讨论,
214
667407
3127
在伊拉克战争结束的好几年前,
11:27
we ended结束 the war战争 in Iraq伊拉克.
215
670558
2008
我们就结束了这场战争。
11:29
Years年份 before Occupy占据 Wall Street,
216
673226
1752
在占领华尔街行动之前,
11:31
we put in a maximum最大值 wage工资 law --
217
675002
2007
我们设定了最高薪资,
11:33
(Laughter笑声)
218
677033
1312
(笑声)
11:36
to end结束 the ginormous极大的相 wage工资 inequities不公平
219
679682
1924
来消灭低收入和高收入人群
11:38
between之间 the lowest最低 and highest最高
income收入 earners.
220
681630
2171
巨大的收入不平衡。
11:42
We returned civics公民 class
to high school学校 curriculum课程.
221
685525
2940
我们在高中课程
重新加入公民课。
11:44
(Laughter笑声)
222
688489
1773
(笑声)
11:46
See? These are good ideas思路!
223
690286
1410
这些是好主意!
11:48
So then students学生们 would know
how their government政府 works作品 again.
224
691720
2994
学生就可以了解
政府是如何运作的。
11:53
There's a very important重要 difference区别
between之间 these two papers文件.
225
696744
3321
这两张报纸之间有很多重要区别。
11:56
(Laughter笑声)
226
700089
1802
(笑声)
11:58
While the real真实 "New York纽约 Times"
has this slogan口号 of,
227
701915
3238
纽约时报真实的标语是
12:01
"All the News新闻 that's Fit适合 to Print打印,"
228
705177
2201
“所有需要被刊登的新闻。”
12:03
we offered提供 a more
forward-thinking前瞻思维 message信息 of,
229
707402
2364
我们想出了一个更好的标语:
12:06
"All the News新闻 We Hope希望 to Print打印."
230
709790
2134
“所有我们希望被刊登的新闻。”
12:08
(Laughter笑声)
231
711948
1214
(笑声)
12:09
And that's because our paper is postdated后日期
six months个月 into the future未来,
232
713186
3335
这是因为我们的报纸
预测了半年后的未来,
12:13
so when people are handed
these on the street,
233
716545
2170
所以当街上的人们收到这份报纸时,
12:15
they were literally按照字面 getting得到 an artifact神器
from the utopian乌托邦 future未来,
234
718739
3779
他们收到的实际上是理想的未来,
12:19
sort分类 of a blueprint蓝图
for an attainably可获得 utopian乌托邦 future未来
235
722542
2541
一个创造理想未来的蓝图,
12:21
brought about by this very important重要 idea理念
of popular流行 pressure压力.
236
725107
3398
由所有民众一起实现的未来。
12:26
And our hoax恶作剧 worked工作 perfectly完美.
237
729931
2025
我们的恶作剧很成功。
12:28
We suspended暂停 people
in this strange奇怪 mental心理 space空间,
238
731980
2354
我们带人们进入了一种奇怪的空间,
12:30
because while the stories故事
in the paper couldn't不能 be real真实,
239
734358
2736
因为报纸上的这些故事不可能是真的,
12:33
it just felt so perfectly完美,
impeccably无可挑剔 real真实.
240
737118
3023
但是它们感觉很完美也很真实。
12:36
Here's这里的 a video视频 showing展示 --
241
740165
2019
这是一个视频展示...
12:38
(Laughter笑声)
242
742208
2198
(笑声)
12:40
yes, we did that! --
243
744430
1800
我们真的这么做了!
12:42
showing展示 the first few少数 seconds
of conflicted冲突 belief信仰,
244
746254
2431
视频展示了人们冲突的想法,
12:45
where people could feel
for a moment时刻 what --
245
748709
2147
他们真实感觉到了...
12:47
(Laughter笑声)
246
750880
2449
(笑声)
12:56
Yes!
247
759996
1219
12:58
(Laughter笑声)
248
761960
2000
13:06
This guy's家伙 good.
249
769866
1367
这挺好笑的。
13:09
(Laughter笑声)
250
773439
2000
(笑声)
13:13
But in order订购 to get this type类型 of reaction反应,
251
777453
3113
但是为了得到这样的反应,
13:17
our paper had to be radically根本 believable可信的.
252
780590
3838
我们的报纸一定要有可信度。
13:20
And Daniel丹尼尔 Dunnam敦南, my other half, and I
formed形成 the believability可信度 team球队.
253
784452
4285
丹尼尔·丹纳姆,我的丈夫,
和我一起保证了可信度。
13:26
He made制作 sure that the typography活版印刷,
254
789728
1869
他确保字体、排版、味道
13:28
the layout布局, the smell
of the ink墨水 -- everything --
255
791621
2330
和用墨等等,
13:30
was just like a real真实 "New York纽约 Times."
256
793975
1840
都和真的纽约时报一样。
13:32
And I supplied供应 fake advertisements广告
from the utopian乌托邦 future未来.
257
795839
4963
我添加了来自未来的虚构广告。
13:37
(Laughter笑声)
258
800826
1571
(笑声)
13:38
We decided决定 that the utopian乌托邦 future未来
would be a perfect完善 venue会场
259
802421
2800
我们决定理想未来应该
13:41
to help these companies公司
who had doneDONE wrong错误 in the past过去
260
805245
2554
帮助犯过错的公司
13:44
try making制造 amends赔偿 for that wrongdoing坏事.
261
807823
1876
来弥补以前的错误,
13:46
(Laughter笑声)
262
809723
1485
(笑声)
13:47
And we do this through通过 the vocabulary词汇
of their own拥有 advertising广告.
263
811232
3514
通过他们广告里的句子。
13:51
So for Ikea宜家, what if
instead代替 of cheap低廉 furniture家具,
264
815280
3701
想象宜家不卖便宜家具,
而卖私人的风电场。
13:55
you could buy购买 your own拥有 wind farm农场?
265
819005
1780
13:57
It comes flat-packed扁平包装,
clearly明确地 easy简单 to assemble集合 --
266
820809
3939
扁平包装,且易于组装,
14:01
(Laughter笑声)
267
824772
3009
(笑声)
14:04
with that little zigzag蜿蜒 tool工具
and the wooden pegs.
268
827805
2319
还有小之字形工具和木钉。
14:06
That would be awesome真棒, right?
269
830148
1572
这会很棒,对吗?
14:09
More nefarious邪恶 are companies公司
like De Beers啤酒,
270
833068
2038
其他名声更差的公司,
像戴比尔斯,
14:11
who are making制造 amends赔偿
for their sale拍卖 of blood血液 diamonds钻石
271
835130
2581
为了弥补他们通过剥削得到的钻石,
14:14
by donating捐赠 prosthetics假肢
to war-torn兵连祸结 African非洲人 countries国家.
272
837735
2643
他们向战火中的非洲捐赠了假肢。
14:19
And this is our take
on a used car汽车 dealership经销商 ad广告.
273
842726
2305
这是我们旧车店的广告。
14:21
They're now offering
a "cash现金 for polluters污染者" program程序.
274
845055
2490
他们提供“以污染源换现金”的项目。
14:24
So now you can trade贸易 in your car汽车
275
847569
2018
你可以拿你的车,
14:26
for a non-polluting无污染
type类型 of transportation运输:
276
849611
3542
来换一个不污染环境的交通工具:
14:29
a bicycle自行车!
277
853177
1325
一辆自行车!
14:31
(Laughter笑声)
278
854526
1848
(笑声)
14:32
And here's这里的 my favorite喜爱, Dr博士. Zizmor齐兹摩尔,

856398
2309
这是我最喜欢的一个,
滋尔滋摩尔医生,
14:35
who is giving you
a beautiful美丽, clear明确 conscience良心.
280
858731
3165
给你一个美丽的良知。
14:38
If you haven't没有 taken采取 a ride
on the New York纽约 City subway地铁,
281
861920
2699
如果你没有坐过纽约地铁,
14:41
you may可能 not know Dr博士. Z.
282
864643
1506
你可能不认识这个医生。
14:42
But if you have, then you do,
283
866173
1847
如果你坐过,你一定会认识他。
14:44
because his cheesy俊俏的 rainbow彩虹 ads广告
are everywhere到处.
284
868044
3423
因为到处都有他俗气的彩虹广告。
14:48
But now he is foregoing上述
these superficial services服务.
285
872149
2401
但他现在放弃了这个肤浅的工作。
14:51
He's no longer cleaning清洁的 up your face面对,
286
874574
2243
他不再清洁你的皮肤,
14:53
now he's cleaning清洁的 up our mess食堂 in Iraq伊拉克.
287
876841
