So, I'm an artist. I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising for -- ever since I left school,
我是一名藝術家。我住在紐約,從事廣告設計,從畢業開始我就一直做這行,
so about seven, eight years now, and it was draining. I worked a lot of late nights.
至今已經七、八年了,慢慢的感覺有點厭倦了。我熬了很多夜,
I worked a lot of weekends, and I found myself never having time for all the projects that I wanted to work on on my own.
在辦公室度過了很多的周末,我發現自己一直沒有時間來做我真正想做的個人項目。
And one day I was at work and I saw a talk by Stefan Sagmeister on TED,
有一天我在工作的時候看到了施德明在TED上的演講,
and it was called "The power of time off," and he spoke about how every seven years,
主題叫“時間流逝的力量”,他提到他每過七年,
he takes a year off from work so he could do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired, and I just said,
就拿出一年時間來休假,拋開工作,做自己的富有創造力的項目,我的思路被他打開了,然后我說:
"I have to do that. I have to take a year off.
“我也要這么干,我要休一年的假。
I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family and start my own creative ideas."
我需要時間旅行,陪伴家人,開始自己的富有創造力的想法。”
So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day."
我的項目中,第一個項目的名字叫“每天一秒鐘”。
Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life,
大意就是我每天都堅持給自己錄一秒鐘的視頻,下半輩子一直堅持下去,
chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until,
慢慢的將這些一秒鐘的視頻拼接起來,將我的生活的片段拼接成一段連續的視頻,
you know, I can't record them anymore.
直到我沒有能力再錄制這些視頻為止。
