Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.66,0:00:42.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he borrowed baselines and melodies\Nfrom the famous works,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.97,0:02:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the best way\NI know to collect ideas is to read.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.46,0:02:09.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what better thing to read\Nthan a daily dispatch of human experience

Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.35,0:02:17.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, in 2005, I was right out of college,\Nright out of undergrad,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.45,0:02:23.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would sit, I would stare\Nat the Microsoft Word screen,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.32,0:02:27.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that little cursor would blink at me\Nas if it were taunting me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.81,0:02:32.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And writing, which is once\Ngiven me great joy, it was now --

Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.54,0:02:37.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So one day,\NI was staring at that screen
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.10,0:02:38.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I looked over at the recycle bin
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.89,0:02:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with that stack full of papers,\Nand I thought, "Here am I. Here I am,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.80,0:02:48.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And right next to me or thousands of them,\Nand they've delivered

Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.00,0:02:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought I might steal a few,\Nand this is what I did:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.00,0:02:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I picked up my marker\Nthat I use for drawing,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.17,0:03:00.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I started making boxes\Naround words that popped out at me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.83,0:03:06.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I start connecting those words\Ninto little phrases and funny sayings.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.14,0:03:12.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I was done, I blacked out all\Nthe words I didn't need.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.44,0:03:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is what it looks like.\NIt looks like as if the CIA did haiku.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.88,0:03:21.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.39,0:03:23.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I really wasn't sure\Nwhat I was doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.78,0:03:27.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All I knew was that it felt really good\Nto watch some of those words
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.45,0:03:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,disappear under that marker line.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.43,0:03:34.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what I did, was I started posting\Nthem to my blog
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.78,0:03:37.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I called them newspaper\Nblackout poems.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.29,0:03:40.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And slowly over time,\Nthey spread around the Internet
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.30,0:03:43.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I collected them in\Nmy first book Newspaper Blackout.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.88,0:03:48.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I thought I was ripping off\Nthe Government.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.35,0:03:54.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's John Lennon's FBI file on the left\Nand the blackout poem on the right.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.61,0:03:58.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But over time I started getting\Nall kinds of emails and tweets
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.93,0:04:04.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and other comments that my work\Nwas completely unoriginal.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.95,0:04:08.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the artist that people pointed to\Nthe most was this brilliant
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.79,0:04:11.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,British artist named Tom Phillips.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.67,0:04:15.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Back in the sixties Tom Phillips\Nwalked into a bookstore,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.42,0:04:18.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he picked up the first\NVictorian novel he found.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.42,0:04:20.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he went home,\Nand he started drawing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.59,0:04:22.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and painting of the pages.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.55,0:04:24.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you can see, he left words,\Nmuch like I do,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.95,0:04:31.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he left words floating in his art pieces.\NAnd he's done this for forty years.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.47,0:04:35.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,His projects called "A Humument".\NAnd you could look it up --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.90,0:04:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's been a lifelong project for him.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.54,0:04:42.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I discovered about Tom Phillips\Nis that he actually got the idea
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.23,0:04:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for his forty-year project by reading\Na Paris Review interview
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.54,0:04:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the writer William Burroughs,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.48,0:04:51.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when Burroughs was talking about\Nhis cut-up method of writing,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.73,0:04:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is when you take\Na piece of writing, cut it up
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.67,0:04:58.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and reconfigure the pieces\Nto make a new piece of writing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.12,0:05:01.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Funny enough, when I started\Nresearching Burroughs,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.26,0:05:03.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found out that Burroughs got the idea
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.09,0:05:07.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the cut-out technique\Nfrom his friend Brion Gysin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.64,0:05:13.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Brion Gysin was a painter at the time.\NAnd he's preparing a canvas
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.29,0:05:17.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when he was cutting the canvas,\Nhe cut through a stack of newspapers
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.11,0:05:20.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the way the newspaper strips\Nfloated and the words worked together,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.36,0:05:24.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gave him an idea of how to make poetry.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.62,0:05:27.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then, you do a little bit\Nmore research
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.87,0:05:29.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you find out that\Nthirty years before that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.82,0:05:31.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that thirty years before that,\Nthere was a poet named Tristan Tzara
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.70,0:05:35.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who in Paris, went onstage,\Ngot a hat, got a newspaper,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.63,0:05:37.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cut up the newspaper,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.54,0:05:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,put the pieces in the hat,\Npulled them out one by one
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.26,0:05:43.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and read them as a poem.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.09,0:05:48.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I traced things all the way back\Nto the 1760s
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.19,0:05:52.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where neighbor of Benjamin Franklin\Nnamed Caleb Whitford --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.56,0:05:55.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in those old days,\Nthe newspaper was fairly new
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.39,0:05:57.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the columns were very skinny,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.39,0:06:00.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so what Caleb did is\Nhe read across the columns
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.39,0:06:03.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of reading them top to bottom.\NAnd he would get all these
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.92,0:06:07.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,funny combinations and he'd crack up\Nhis friends in the pub.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.70,0:06:11.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And eventually he published\Na broadsheet of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.41,0:06:16.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So not only was my idea completely\Nunoriginal,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.14,0:06:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it turns out there was a 250 year old history\Nof finding poetry in the newspaper.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.59,0:06:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what am I supposed to do?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.68,0:06:31.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead of getting discouraged I kept on,\Nbecause I know something
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.47,0:06:34.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a lot of artists know\Nbut few will admit to.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.70,0:06:39.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is nothing is completely original.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.44,0:06:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All creative work builds on\Nwhat came before.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.91,0:06:47.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every new idea is just\Na remix or mash-up
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.78,0:06:50.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of one or two previous ideas.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.89,0:06:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a bit of what I'm talking about.\NThey teach you this in art school.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.18,0:07:00.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Draw a line.\NDraw another line next to it.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.67,0:07:04.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well there is the first line you drew.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.88,0:07:07.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there's the second line you drew.
