IL DEPISTAGGIO MENTALE | Tiziano Grigioni | TEDxTrento


in an ordinary city
it’s seven o’clock in the morning of a day
whatever in a month whatever you are
I’m bou on a bus any summer
going to the office or an office
whatever no lady does not come down to
next
Here is your cell phone already starting to
vibrate of the first notifications of the
day of notifications anyway but
notification that you can not, however
ignore
you’re right there alisa responding to
your first messages of the day of the
messages whenever the bus is braking
suddenly someone hits you and apologizes
get off your stop that you go to
usual edicolante a newsagent
whatever to buy yours
favorite newspaper a daily or
whatever but here is any one
ordinary day is about to transform
in a moment that you despite
you will hardly forget
put your hand to the wallet and do not
you found yet you were so convinced of
have brought it with you safely
in your pocket and it’s there that comes to me
in mind that distinguished gentleman that later
having visited, a gentleman apologized
distinguished any gentlemen are titian
grisons and are one of those that have
decided to make your wallet the
own salary
yes, exactly, madam, I’m a pickpocket
but not a pickpocket any not
I’m a stage pickpocket
this means that on stage rubo
objects from people’s pockets but the
my ego feeds so much of it
applause as to make me discover
immediately to about the theft of
applause of a freshly stolen one thanks
my discipline in jargon is defined
pickpocketing and it’s definitely art
very similar to illusionism here but
how is it possible that a guy so much
absurd tanned like me I mean
you saw what a beard I can put on you
hands in your pocket and to be taken away from you
without knowing your belongings
thanks to what the Americans
define misdirection the misdirection
mental real art of
direct and condition the attention
viewers are therefore possible
really check the attention
of the human being
to the point of predicting its own
attitudes based on our stimuli
the answer is yes it is possible and not
you must certainly be a superhero of
stanley to do it in spite of me
despite it looks like a cartoon
animated misdirection it is obvious not
there is a button on off able to
activate or deactivate ours
mental surveillance
yet the miss direction and under the
everyone’s eyes constantly all of you
sitting in the stalls too
we are unaware victims there
distract continuously
oh my God I have a white hair in my beard
I have not even turned 30 and I pass
the next two hours before the
mirror to see this slow decline
from a young bearded thief to a copy over
hipster of santa claus we are distracted by
I continue also for the most futile reasons
everyone’s problem is that
we are in this modern age
constantly targeted by
information like darts as he did there
they arrive
the trouble is that we can not
focus no one no one else no
we receive them all and everyone together with that
point not to focus ours
pay attention to that really
important or anyway on what
we prefer
I’ll give you an example imagined for
favor of living in one in a small way
small town a small village where everyone there
they know and everyone knows each other
you do not have one at your disposal
great variety of entertainment and
a few books from your library
Private you know them ormea memory lives
quiet no boring I would dare to say for one
diabolik from exposure like the
undersigned
here you now imagine living instead in
a great metropolis expanding like
gotham city
exact to the city ​​of batman where nobody
he knows you and every person he has
met
a potential enemy friend lover places
to visit dangers from dodging and from
sidestep
here this is your mind a one
city ​​a metropolis in perennial
24 hour expansion also during the
hours of sleep
translated into the concrete when he called on
stage a spectator and I try to
steal his wallet and so on
the first thing I do is see if
in the pocket , some objects beyond
of the wallet or my dear friend that
nice jacket after I can ask you
where he bought it and here it is
the attention of the spectator and on the
jacket
indeed almost pleased he is asking me
of the bought this jacket mine
wife made me compliments
he’s complimenting me
this superb jacket then the idea
to be robbed is totally out
of cognitive schemes as well as these
hairs are out of mediating from mine
the glands hairy friend mino
consider money and here’s from
jacket the attention goes to the wallet
but he does not realize that with the other
hand just stolen the smartphone
from the pocket
here is this feeling of estrangement
you are not familiar how many times you arrive
at the end of the day at home with this sense
of emptiness
maybe you had set yourself some
goals and you have not brought them to
term because because you are a point
let yourself be dragged by events from
situations you have not focused on
your attention
but you let yourself put barriers
from your distractions of everyday life
for example arrived in the office arrived
in the office and on the desk found is
already red two – headed riccardo yellow leaves
called back and the firm something wants a
new quote
turn on the pc and find seven emails a
to answer, you must answer immediately
and then again you call news notifications
communications finally the lunch break
and what do you check facebook then
more news and communications notifications
and still the ghana recipe for the
carbonara because there is a carbonara
vegan the umpteenth priest who admitted
rich and poor songs
the friend your former classmate
that invites you to his wedding in
common with communion of goods while
the friend in communication von post irritated
because the mutual friend does not have it
invited in common to the marriage with
communion of goods and still their purpose
the 37th cover for the same always
identical volume of harry potter flight more
hotel in zanzibar all included 350 euros
hashtag hello
click here to know how to do and photos
of kittens
everyone likes photos of kittens
lady an old vase on tv one
white cat with blue eyes
no the priest who sings rich and
poor as he did
here is obviously the lunch break
you have not even given a bite to the
your sandwich is reasoning for
excess this is true but also one
any kind of little day stellar yes
of difficulty of unexpected events
carelessness
I am young and millennia to the then born
at the turn of the 90s and 2000s are
accustomed or at least I declare myself
used to living to notice in this
fast-paced sea that every day there
in reality it is not at all like that
it’s not like that all of us there
let me distract precisely in the first place why
no one requires us to control
e-mails seven times a minute
nobody forbids us to turn off the wifi
for at least a handful of hours a day
yet phone rings dealing with it
I take and I put like in the photo in which
I have been paid above all if in the
photos there are kittens is impossible
really do without it but impossible
do without it but then how long we do
we subtract ourselves because of this
that we talk about the feeling of time
empty that you try at the end of the day is the
same feeling of emptiness that they feel
your pockets
after a scam encounter with the
subscribed but far more important than
a smartphone is the object of the
your lack
yes gentlemen I’m talking about the currency anymore
precious that we all have the time
how much is therefore the time that
we lose
according to a 2016 market research
conducted by media key xché is an agency
of US influencer marketing yes
estimate that we spend about two hours a
day on social networks in particular on
youtube facebook and instagram
this is done by making a quick calculation
that we spend on the networks of
social communication 5 years and 4 years
months of our life
whereas at least three years there
I’m definitely going to comb my beard
the sand stock in the hourglass is
actually running out
5 years and 4 months my friends five years e
four months in 5 years and 4 months we could
go on foot on the great wall
Chinese back and forth three times
in 5 years and 4 months we can go on
moon 32 times in 5 years and 4 months
we could watch all the simpsons
episodes of special episodes included 215
times 5 years and 4 months
the problem is that we believe we are
in a frenetic modernity
actually we are in a frenzy
modernity but it is not to blame
others often find ourselves seeing us
as I do not know victims of inattention
and never as guilty of distraction
always victims despite now if there
notice the advertisements you see on TV
they last a tenth of those that passed
twenty years ago as our threshold
attentive is always shorter and of the
same thing I do when I put
hands in people’s pockets
I work on this work on this
here man has always been constant
search for sensory stimuli that
they come from outside too
involuntarily think that already in the
1600 a random person such blaise
pascal said that the trouble of the man who
he can not sit still in one
room alone and how to give him wrong
but how to succumb then to this
lack of time how to make sure that the
our attention defenses are walls of
reinforced concrete
here it appears my should meanwhile
to know how to discern all that is useful and
pleasant from what is superfluous indeed
do not forget the pleasant one
forget the pleasant as the beer
at the pub with friends on Saturday night or
holiday with your sweetie
especially if in zanzibar 350 euros e
wants to bring everything understood and
obviously when you hear learned to
recognize the sensations that
experiment in your head when
feel that you are going to distract you from detachment
break 25 minutes and then go back to work
this will ensure that you will always be more
satisfied with your work and that
you can follow your passions
but how to bring all this back to art
cheating stage theft
gentlemen I spoke too much
there is a volunteer among you
they said that the ted staff has
a victim chosen for me a victim
that will lend itself to this show and
that me
just this time without tip to
content of his pockets where you are

while French can leave the

how does the thief to appropriate the
objects of the victim through that
which is defined as a method for rom but not
it has nothing to do with the California of
Trentino draw distraction reaction
distraction goal or what a beautiful jacket
learned more than francesco I can see it
wonderful and here now its threshold
of attention is totally distant
from the fact that I want to steal the
portfolios absolutely reaction
francesco just think of something else
realizes I’m checking the
content of his friends inside pockets
my
goal the thief appropriates
of the victim’s object or at least
this would happen if we were on the bus
instead of being on stage, it seemed to me
discounted the bad steal things from you
rightly on the perfect right stage
