Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.21,0:00:54.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So after having been doing this\Nfor so many years,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.66,0:00:57.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to share with you,\Nwhat did I learn
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.16,0:01:00.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of 20 years of playing with bananas.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.30,0:01:02.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.30,0:01:06.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I learned that all artists play:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.10,0:01:08.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Picasso played with food,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.36,0:01:10.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)\NPicasso played with objects,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.98,0:01:14.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because artists know that playfulness
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.66,0:01:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a fertile ground for creativity.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.83,0:01:23.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Picasso made this head of a bull,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.30,0:01:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he wasn't using his amazing talent\Nin drawing,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.29,0:01:31.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he was just using his ability\Nto look at the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.65,0:01:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a playful way, in a different way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.96,0:01:38.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And perhaps we can not learn\Nto draw like Picasso,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.88,0:01:41.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we can learn, perhaps,\Nto look at the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.94,0:01:44.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a little bit different way —
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.18,0:01:50.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the way Picasso did\Nwhen he created this sculpture.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.26,0:01:54.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's look at the definition\Nof seeing:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.04,0:01:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like what Paul Valery wrote,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.18,0:02:02.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"To see is to forget the name\Nof what we are looking at."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.17,0:02:06.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What Valery is talking about,\Nis forgetting a label.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.43,0:02:09.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To name something, is a direct path.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.54,0:02:13.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once we understand it, we move on.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.02,0:02:17.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what if we refrain from naming,\Nwe stay with it,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.13,0:02:21.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we explore it, we take the winding road,\Nwe wonder around?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.39,0:02:24.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We might then discover something new,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.02,0:02:25.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which we haven't seen before.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.78,0:02:29.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe we will make some\Nplayful new association.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.79,0:02:33.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A good way to practice this,\Nis to look for faces —
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.88,0:02:38.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't mean faces like this,\NI mean faces like that!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.88,0:02:42.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The world is filled with faces.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.56,0:02:44.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.61,0:02:47.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the bathroom in my house.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.47,0:02:51.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And once we see faces,\Nwe are forgetting for a millisecond,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.68,0:02:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the name of that\Nwhich we are looking at.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.47,0:03:01.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, by now you can tell\Nthat I am a sucker for playfulness.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.80,0:03:04.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's true, and it is because
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.58,0:03:09.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,playfulness made a big change\Nin my own life.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.26,0:03:12.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was born and grew up\Nin Uruguay, South America,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.77,0:03:15.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I always drew.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.10,0:03:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is my 4th grade teacher\Nwhom I drew.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.66,0:03:22.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's probably the oldest caricature\NI have.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.13,0:03:26.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Uruguay there are many cows,\Nso I drew cows.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.23,0:03:30.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I even drew steaks,\N(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.54,0:03:33.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Gauchos on horses,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.83,0:03:37.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when I was 11,\Nwe came to live in Israel —
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.63,0:03:40.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the subject matter slightly changed.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.10,0:03:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.10,0:03:45.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But not my passion —\NI wanted to be a caricaturist.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.80,0:03:50.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I looked at the newspapers,\NI copied what other people were doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.58,0:03:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But life has a way of happening to you,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.72,0:03:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so when I finally wanted\Nto go and study,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.88,0:03:57.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was already in my mid-20s
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.99,0:04:02.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my talent was kind of iffy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.06,0:04:05.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I missed many hours of practice
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.55,0:04:07.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I'd been doing other things.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.34,0:04:11.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a matter a fact, I was rejected from\Nthe Bezalel Art School, not far from here.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.74,0:04:15.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I had to go and study in New York.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.50,0:04:20.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I arrived in New York,\N(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.62,0:04:23.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I realized that I did suck!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.70,0:04:25.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.51,0:04:29.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of the people around me\Ndrew much better than me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.88,0:04:34.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was doing this kind of lame cartoons,\Nwhile the real pros,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.70,0:04:37.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I was seeing in the newspapers
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.09,0:04:39.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were amazing pieces of art,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.41,0:04:44.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by wonderful artists like:\NSteve Brodner, like Philip Berk.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.18,0:04:46.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that made me feel like this:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.96,0:04:49.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is me, depressed in New York.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.65,0:04:52.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I was frustrated, I was pesimistic,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.95,0:04:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had hit a wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.58,0:05:00.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, if you remember the diagram\Nfrom before,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.18,0:05:03.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the direct path was not working\Nfor me anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.34,0:05:07.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had to take a different path —\NI had to start wandering around,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.37,0:05:13.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking for other ways to find\Nmy own way of making caricatures.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.74,0:05:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as we all know,\Nwhen we get off the main road,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.05,0:05:20.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is where some treasures might be.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.95,0:05:23.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I did find some treasures.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.66,0:05:25.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first treasure that I found —
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.63,0:05:30.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found it in the picture collection\Nof the Mid-Manhattan Library.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.29,0:05:34.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was an old poster for the movie\N"The Great Dictator" by Charlie Chaplin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.67,0:05:37.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I don't know who the artist was —
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.94,0:05:39.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"designer unknown" it said,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.90,0:05:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it was amazing to me, how the designer\Nwith so little said so much —
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.68,0:05:50.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,both a portrait of Adolf Hilter\Nand of Charlie Chaplin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.70,0:05:52.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I needed to see this,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.97,0:05:56.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that made me understand\Nthat it wasn't about technique —
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.38,0:05:59.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was about communication,\Nand it was about
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.30,0:06:03.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,finding your own way of doing things.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.13,0:06:04.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second treasure that I found,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.96,0:06:07.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as I was drawing Saddam Hussein,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.36,0:06:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was the first Gulf War, 1990,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.74,0:06:15.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was living at the time with a girlfriend\Nwho was a heavy smoker,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.10,0:06:17.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there were matches\Nall around the house.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.74,0:06:20.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And suddenly, I picked up those matches
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.81,0:06:23.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I put it on the face\Nof Saddam Hussein,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.85,0:06:26.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I made the mustache with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.18,0:06:29.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I did it because I thought\Nthe form was the correct one,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.46,0:06:33.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but only later I realized\Nthat there was an idea —
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.97,0:06:38.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the matches where basically explaining
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.38,0:06:42.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this man had just started a war.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.82,0:06:51.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wouldn't have found\Nthe poster or the matches
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.04,0:06:55.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if everything would've been well\Nwith my road,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.44,0:06:58.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I would've stayed in the direct road.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.18,0:07:01.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, looking back\Ntwenty something years,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.41,0:07:05.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know now that I was blessed\Nby hardships.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.36,0:07:13.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By the way, Edward de Bono\Nwho coined the phrase "Lateral Thinking",
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.88,0:07:15.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he calls the opposite of this,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.90,0:07:18.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be "Blocked by Adequacy".
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.59,0:07:20.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When everything is sort of adequate,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.96,0:07:22.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe not great, but not bad,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.62,0:07:25.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you don't have an urge\Nto look for other solutions.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.86,0:07:30.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in my case, being blessed by hardships\Nmade me look outside.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.89,0:07:33.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I made a collage.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.68,0:07:36.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started making collages,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.44,0:07:40.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I realized that collage\Nis the ultimate playful technique.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.45,0:07:44.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can not make a collage\Non a direct path.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.26,0:07:46.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You need to wander around –
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.32,0:07:48.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to find something here,\Nto find something there,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.46,0:07:53.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when you put it all together,\Nyou create something new.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.11,0:07:59.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I realized that this way of working,\Nreally, really suited me.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.62,0:08:05.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I felt very comfortable\Nin this way of working.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.46,0:08:14.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was really about trial and error —
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.54,0:08:17.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about trying things,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.21,0:08:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and about allowing myself\Nto make mistakes.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.52,0:08:24.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of the objects that I try\Ndo not work,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.34,0:08:27.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I need to go through\Nlike twenty or thirty

Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.46,0:08:32.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just as in the eyes of Einstein,
