My name is Amit. And 18 months ago, I had another job at Google, and I pitched this idea of doing something with museums and art to my boss who's actually here, and she allowed me to do it. And it took 18 months. A lot of fun, negotiations and stories, I can tell you, with 17 very interesting museums from nine countries. But I'm going to focus on the demo. There are a lot of stories about why we did this.
Minu nimi on Amit. 18 kuud tagasi töötasin ma Google'is teises ametis ja hakkasin rääkima ideest võtta midagi ette seoses muuseumide ja kunstiga oma bossile, kes on ka tegelikult siin, ja ta lubas mul seda teha. Selleks kulus 18 kuud. Võiksin teile rääkida lõbusatest läbirääkimistest 17 väga huvitava muuseumiga üheksast riigist. Kuid ma keskendun parem demole. On mitu selgitust, miks me seda tegime,
I think my personal story is explained very simply on the slide, and it's access. And I grew up in India. I had a great education -- I'm not complaining -- but I didn't have access to a lot of these museums and these artworks. And so when I started traveling and going to these museums, I started learning a lot. And while working at Google, I tried to put this desire to make it more accessible with technology together. So we formed a team, a great team of people, and we started doing this.
aga minu isiklik põhjus on selgelt näha sellel slaidil - kunsti kättesaadavus. Kasvasin üles Indias. Ma sain hea hariduse - ma ei kurda - kuid mul ei olnud ligipääsu paljudele muuseumidele ja kunstiteostele. Kui ma hakkasin reisima ja neid muuseume külastama, õppisin ma väga palju. Ja Google'is töötades püüan ma oma südamesoovi - muuta ligipääs kättesaadavamaks - ning tehnika ühte liita. Panimegi kokku meeskonna suurepärastest inimestest ja hakkasime pihta.
I'm going to probably get into the demo and then tell you a couple of the interesting things we've had since launch. So, simple: you come to GoogleArtProject.com. You look around at all these museums here. You've got the Uffizi, you've got the MoMA, the Hermitage, the Rijks, the Van Gogh. I'm going to actually get to one of my favorites, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Two ways of going in -- very simple. Click and, bang, you're in this museum. It doesn't matter where you are -- Bombay, Mexico, it doesn't really matter. You move around, you have fun. You want to navigate around the museum? Open the plan up, and, in one click, jump. You're in there, you want to go to the end of the corridor. Keep going. Have fun. Explore.
Ma parem näitan teile demo ja räägin siis paar huvitavat asja, mis meil on ette tulnud. Niisiis - avate saidi GoogleArtProject.com. Te saate kõiki neid muuseume siin vaadata. Siin on Uffizi, moodsa kunsti muuseum, Ermitaaž, Rijks muuseum, Van Gogh. Ma lähen külastan nüüd üht oma lemmikut - New Yorgi Metropolitan kunstimuuseumi. Siseneda on väga lihtne. Üks hiireklikk ja hopsti! oledki muuseumis. Pole mingit tähtsust, kus sa asud - Mumbais, Mehhikos - see pole tähtis. Sa liigud ringi, sul on põnev. Tahate muuseumis ringi käia? Võtke plaan lahti ja hüpake - ühe hiireklikiga. Oletegi sees, nüüd tahate minna koridori lõppu. Minge. Nautige! Uurige.
(Applause)
(Aplaus)
Thanks. I haven't come to the best part.
Tänan. Ma pole parema osani veel jõudnud.
(Laughter)

So now I'm in front of one of my favorite paintings, "The Harvesters" by Pieter Bruegel at the Met. I see this plus sign. If the museum has given us the image, you click on it. Now this is one of the images. So this is all of the meta-data information. For those of you who are truly interested in art, you can click this -- but I'm going to click this off right now. And this is one of these images that we captured in what we call gigapixel technology. So this image, for example, has close to, I think, around 10 billion pixels. And I get a lot of people asking me: "What do you get for 10 billion pixels?" So I'm going to try and show you what you really get for 10 billion pixels. You can zoom around very simply. You see some fun stuff happening here. I love this guy; his expression is priceless.
Nüüd olen ma ühe oma lemmikmaali ees, Pieter Breugeli "Viljakoristajad" Metropolitanis. Siin on näha + märk. Kui muuseum on meile pildi andnud, klikkige sellel. See siin on üks piltidest. Kõrval on metaandmed. Need, kes on kunstist tõeliselt huvitatud, saavad sellel klikkida - mina klikin selle praegu eest ära. See on üks piltidest, mis on pildistatud nn gigapiksel-tehnoloogias. See pilt on näiteks umbes 10 miljardit pikslit. Paljud inimesed küsivad minult: "Mida see 10 miljardit pikslit annab?" Ma proovin nüüd teile näidata, mida 10 miljardit pikslit annab. Suumimine käib väga lihtsalt. Siin on väga lõbusad stseenid. See sell mulle hirmsasti meeldib, tema ilme on võrratu.
But then you really want to go deep. And so I started playing around, and I found something going on over here. And I was like, "Hold on. That sounds interesting." Went in, and I started noticing that these kids were actually beating something. I did a little research, spoke to a couple of my contacts at the Met, and actually found out that this is a game called squall, which involves beating a goose with a stick on Shrove Tuesday. And apparently it was quite popular. I don't know why they did it, but I learned something about it. Now just to get really deep in, you can really get to the cracks. Now just to give you some perspective, I'm going to zoom out so you really see what you get. Here is where we were, and this is the painting.
Siis tuleb tuju tõesti sügavale pildi sisse minna. Ma hakkasin igal pool ringi vaatama ja leidsin, et siin toimub midagi. Mõtlesin endamisi: "Oot-oot, see tundub huvitav." Suumisin veel ja sain aru, et need lapsed peksavad midagi. Uurisin veidi, rääkisin paari tuttavaga muuseumist ja sain teada, et see on üks mäng, kus keppidega pekstakse hane vastlapäeval. See oli ilmselt üpris populaarne mäng. Ma ei tea küll, miks nad seda tegid, kuid ma sain selle kohta üht-teist teada. Kui veel väga sügavale minna, jõuate pragudeni välja. Et anda ettekujutust, kus me olime, suumin ma nüüd välja, siis saate aru, mis kõik on võimalik. Siin me olime - ja see on terve maal.
(Applause)
(Aplaus)
The best is yet to come -- so in a second. So now let's just quickly jump into the MoMA, again in New York. So another one of my favorites, "The Starry Night." Now the example I showed you was all about finding details. But what if you want to see brush strokes? And what if you want to see how Van Gogh actually created this masterpiece? You zoom in. You really go in. I'm going to go to one of my favorite parts in this painting, and I'm really going to get to the cracks. This is "The Starry Night," I think, never seen like this before.
Need on alles õied - marjad kohe tulevad. Hüppame nüüd kiiresti New Yorgi moodsa kunsti muuseumi. Veel üks minu lemmikutest, "Tähine öö". Eelmises näites avastasime detaile. Aga äkki te tahaksite näha pintslilööke? Äkki tahate näha, kuidas Van Gogh tegelikult oma šedöövri maalis? Te suumite sügavale pildi sisse. Ma lähen oma lemmikkohta sellel maalil. Ma lähen tõesti pragudeni välja. See on "Tähine öö", mida keegi pole enne sellisena näinud.
I'm going to show you my other favorite feature. There's a lot of other stuff here, but I don't have time. This is the real cool part. It's called Collections. Any one of you, anybody -- doesn't matter if you're rich, if you're poor, if you have a fancy house -- doesn't matter. You can go and create your own museum online -- create your own collection across all these images. Very simply, you go in -- and I've created this, called The Power of Zoom -- you can just zoom around. This is "The Ambassadors," based in the National Gallery. You can annotate the stuff, send it to your friends and really get a conversation going about what you're feeling when you go through these masterpieces.
Ma näitan teile veel üht oma lemmikvõimalust. Siin on palju muud, kuid mul pole aega. See on eriti äge osa. Selle nimi on Kunstikogud. Ükskõik kes teist, igaüks - ei tähenda, oled sa rikas või vaene, on sul uhke maja või mitte - pole vahet. Sa võid luua endale internetis oma muuseumi - omaenda kunstikogu, tehes valiku kõigi piltide hulgast. Väga lihtne, sisened - ma tegin nn Power of Zoom võimaluse - saate suumides liikuda. See on "Saadikud", mis asub Rahvusgaleriis. Te saate kirjutada arvustusi, saata sõpradele, tekitada arutelu selle üle, mida te tunnete neid meistriteoseid vaadates.
So I think, in conclusion, for me, the main thing is that all the amazing stuff here does not really come from Google. It doesn't, in my opinion, even come from the museums. I probably shouldn't say that. It really comes from these artists. And that's been my humbling experience in this. I mean, I hope in this digital medium that we do justice to their artwork and represent it properly online. And the biggest question I get asked nowadays is, "Did you do this to replicate the experience of going to a museum?" And the answer is no. It's to supplement the experience.
Kokkuvõtteks, minu meelest on põhiline, et see fantastiline asi ei tule tegelikult mitte Google'ilt. See ei tule minu arvates isegi mitte muuseumidelt. Ma ei tohiks seda vist küll öelda. Vaid see tuleb tegelikult neilt kunstnikelt. Ja see on minus aukartust tekitanud. Ma tahan loota, et selle digitaalse vahenduse kaudu me kohtleme neid kunstiteoseid õiglaselt ja esitleme neid väärikalt internetis. Suurim küsimus, mida mulle ikka esitatakse, on: "Kas tegite seda selleks, et matkida muuseumis käimise elamust?" Vastus on - ei. See on mõeldud elamust täiendama.
And that's it. Thank you.
See ongi kõik. Tänan teid.
