1
00:00:01,234 --> 00:00:04,226
THE OCTOPUS
2
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:05,555
Vibrations in the water surrounding a rock
3
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:11,832
brought about by the octopus´ breathing
reveal his presence.
4
00:02:45,465 --> 00:02:47,831
lt sprays its ink.
5
00:03:46,593 --> 00:03:50,222
The closed eye.
6
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:16,154
The open eye, very human.
7
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:30,261
Breathing.
8
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:58,125
lt switches to the siphon
on the other side.
9
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:59,185
The changes in coloration across its body
are the result of the contraction
10
00:05:59,258 --> 00:06:05,959
and expansion of the many colored cells
that dot its skin.
11
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:34,318
A significant enlargement.
12
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,956
eath.
13
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:52,267
THE E

Auatic Ballet

00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:01,198
The audiovisual piece
16
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:03,401
that you watched
17
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,038
has a name...
18
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:08,974
Has a name.
19
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:12,778
lt is called
20
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:17,118
[ Skipped item nr. 20 ]
21
00:14:24,096 --> 00:14:26,394
And this audiovisual piece...
22
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:28,555
This...
23
00:14:29,435 --> 00:14:31,335
l said it correctly, this audiovisual piece
24
00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:34,636
has an objective,
25
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:38,532
to prove
26
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:43,442
that pet fish
27
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:48,786
in home auariums...
28
00:14:50,656 --> 00:14:51,850
Those
29
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,049
pet fish
30
00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:59,289
are hard to see,
31
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:01,732
impossible
32
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:05,160
to count.
33
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:08,998
They are
34
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:11,671
practically,
35
00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:14,444
practically
36
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:18,180
immeasurable,
37
00:15:19,285 --> 00:15:20,411
but
38
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:23,482
not numerous.
39
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,869
As the moderator,
40
00:16:47,539 --> 00:16:50,736
there is something l´d like to add
to Mr. Orlec´s talk.
41
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:56,780
He tells us
that everything comes from the spirit.
42
00:16:57,783 --> 00:17:00,308
All right, but which spirit?
43
00:17:02,121 --> 00:17:03,554
Brandy?
44
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:06,351
Too simple.
45
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,287
l would sooner place the spirit on one side,
46
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:13,956
and the liuid element on the other.
47
00:17:16,268 --> 00:17:17,792
Mr. Matras
48
00:17:18,637 --> 00:17:21,299
tells us that this is all just a metaphor.
49
00:17:23,842 --> 00:17:25,275
Too simple.
50
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,442
Sorry.
51
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:31,612
Too brief.
52
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:36,320
o, sorry. Too uick.
53
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:42,455
Mr. Bauman spoke to us
about liuid society.
54
00:17:43,495 --> 00:17:47,625
He said that society is essentially liuid.
55
00:17:49,134 --> 00:17:51,967
But that´s nothing new.
56
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:56,505
o, sorry.
57
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:59,307
lt´s not very original.
58
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:02,110
o, sorry.
59
00:18:03,882 --> 00:18:05,713
We already know that.
60
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:14,114
Without going any further,
we are composed of water,
61
00:18:15,527 --> 00:18:17,222
encapsulated water,
62
00:18:18,297 --> 00:18:21,061
an element one would be hard pressed
to call solid.
63
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:27,430
You could say that we are a solid,
64
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,703
dreamt up by dreaming liuid.
65
00:18:33,812 --> 00:18:36,576
And that we do nothing more than dance.
66
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:44,085
We are engaged in an amnesic dance.
67
00:18:46,492 --> 00:18:50,019
Amnesic, in the sense of collective.
68
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:57,897
There is a common saying,
´´to have the memory of a goldfish.´´
69
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:03,970
Too simple.
70
00:19:05,878 --> 00:19:08,813
Simple, in the sense of immutable.
71
00:19:10,249 --> 00:19:11,511
o, sorry.
72
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,113
ln the sense of immobile.
73
00:19:18,056 --> 00:19:19,182
o, sorry.
74
00:19:20,692 --> 00:19:21,954
o.
75
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:24,325
o, nothing.
76
00:19:26,031 --> 00:19:27,259
ever mind.

00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:16,115
The scriptures tell us
that God created thirst.
81
00:24:17,823 --> 00:24:22,419
ext, God created the spirit, which appeared
82
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,520
sb sp rns
83
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,097
Liuid became liueur.
84
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:34,904
Making the most of the thirst
he had just created,
85
00:24:35,907 --> 00:24:37,704
God drank that liueur.
86
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:43,908
The spirit entered God´s body.
87
00:24:47,285 --> 00:24:50,448
God became inebriated and he slept.
88
00:24:52,691 --> 00:24:54,386
He dreamt.
89
00:24:58,230 --> 00:25:00,755
ln this dream, he created the world.
90
00:25:02,267 --> 00:25:04,827
lt was the upside-down world.
91
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:10,573
ln this world, thieves were judges,
92
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:15,571
and judges became thieves.
93
00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:21,116
Tigers were cowardly and gentle,
94
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:23,751
and sheep were fierce and courageous.
95
00:25:26,892 --> 00:25:28,757
Cats barked,
96
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:31,157
dogs meowed,
97
00:25:32,764 --> 00:25:35,562
fish ate men.
98
00:25:38,737 --> 00:25:41,570
Fish slept in soft beds,
99
00:25:43,074 --> 00:25:46,874
while men slept submerged in auariums.
100
00:25:48,747 --> 00:25:50,271
The biggest man
101
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:53,342
ate the smaller one.
102
00:25:56,288 --> 00:25:58,518
What´s more, everything was auatic.
103
00:26:01,192 --> 00:26:02,750
Let´s sit.
104
00:27:14,065 --> 00:27:15,930
What do the scriptures wish to tell us?
105
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:23,402
First, that the world was created
by the force of inebriation.
106
00:27:27,412 --> 00:27:31,314
That the world is simply vertigo
brought about by the spirit.
107
00:27:34,753 --> 00:27:38,712
That the spirit mediates
between God and men.
108
00:27:41,593 --> 00:27:45,290
That the creative creator spirit is liuid.
109
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:52,133
That we come from a liuid universe.
110
00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:59,237
That the liuid world is upside-down.
111
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:05,445
Our ancestors, the fish, know this.
112
00:28:08,553 --> 00:28:12,182
Our ancestors, the shrimp,
pretend not to know it.
113
00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:19,788
Our ancestors, the octopuses,
could see this with their own eyes.
114
00:31:45,036 --> 00:31:48,403
The open eye, very human.
115
00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:03,481
Breathing.
116
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,678
Mother Ocean is amniotic.
117
00:32:31,082 --> 00:32:32,344
She
118
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:36,646
gave birth to the creatures
of the upside-down world.
119
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:40,448
Sorry, of the inverted world.
120
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:44,390
Sorry, of the world and its opposite.
121
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:50,534
Sorry, to that which is contrary to the world.
122
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:53,269
Let´s sit.
123
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:01,176
Sorry.
124
00:33:04,482 --> 00:33:07,781
The scriptures teach us
that God created hunger,
125
00:33:07,852 --> 00:33:11,879
and only afterward
did he create hungry animals.
126
00:33:14,625 --> 00:33:17,185
The scriptures teach us
127
00:33:18,596 --> 00:33:23,761
that animals devoured one another.
128
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,708
God created man.
129
00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:35,210
He asked man
130
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,747
to dominate animals.
131
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:41,008
That was rational man.
132
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:47,654
Then he created woman.
133
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:51,522
And man became passionate man.
134
00:33:55,666 --> 00:33:58,226
God ordered man
135
00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:01,229
to eat animals,
136
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,333
and he created hungry man.
137
00:34:07,078 --> 00:34:08,670
Let us be uiet and watch.
138
00:35:13,244 --> 00:35:15,439
This film, as l said,
139
00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:19,215
has set an objective,
140
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:22,175
to prove
141
00:35:23,421 --> 00:35:25,889
that there are
142
00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:28,825
supernumerary fish
143
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:32,096
that appear
144
00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:36,224
and disappear from the world´s auariums.
145
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:40,531
We seek,
146
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:43,640
in this audiovisual piece,
147
00:35:44,742 --> 00:35:46,175
to prove
148
00:35:47,044 --> 00:35:48,636
that those fish
149
00:35:50,014 --> 00:35:51,572
are not alive,
150
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:55,250
that they are,
151
00:35:56,053 --> 00:35:57,611
so to speak,
152
00:35:58,556 --> 00:36:00,114
phantoms.
153
00:36:01,759 --> 00:36:03,192
Phantoms
154
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:07,188
of fish that perhaps
155
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:10,133
we ourselves
156
00:36:11,702 --> 00:36:13,169
may have even eaten.
157
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:19,568
And they would go
to the nearest auarium, that is,
158
00:36:21,212 --> 00:36:26,479
the auarium
where one counts the number of fish.
159
00:36:28,553 --> 00:36:33,149
And they muddle the calculations.
160
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,988
This is, to say the least, a nuisance.
161
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,765
The first time
162
00:36:44,835 --> 00:36:47,133
we observed this phenomenon
163
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:49,569
was in Lyon.
164
00:38:19,530 --> 00:38:22,055
Profssor Enn Mrs,
165
00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:26,962
after carefully observing
166
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:32,100
the fish in his own auariums,
167
00:38:34,178 --> 00:38:38,979
he found that he was having trouble
counting the number of fish he had.
168
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:43,613
He remembered having bought four fish.
169
00:38:44,722 --> 00:38:47,885
Sometimes he counted five,
170
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:53,054
sometimes six, sometimes three.
171
00:38:57,401 --> 00:39:02,134
He brought his auariums and others
172
00:39:03,908 --> 00:39:07,241
to the laboratory
173
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:10,143
where people had already conducted,
174
00:39:11,749 --> 00:39:13,410
people had conducted...
175
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:19,111
People had conducted
176
00:39:21,225 --> 00:39:22,783
troubling experiments
177
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:27,887
with octopuses...
178
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:32,696
With octopuses
179
00:39:35,139 --> 00:39:39,803
that followed a mono diet.
180
00:39:41,512 --> 00:39:43,275
They ate only
181
00:39:44,915 --> 00:39:46,906
water bubbles.
182
00:39:54,625 --> 00:39:58,083
He had the idea of mixing in the octopuses
183
00:39:59,363 --> 00:40:02,161
with the fish.
184
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:07,431
And he observed something astonishing.
185
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:10,673
The octopuses
186
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:15,805
were afraid of the colored fish.
187
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:22,944
They didn´t like the very idea
of the color of fish.
188
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:29,391
We know that octopuses see
in black and white,
189
00:40:30,127 --> 00:40:32,220
so why were they afraid of color?
190
00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:35,596
What was it about the color of fish
191
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,592
which frightened
192
00:40:40,638 --> 00:40:44,802
octopuses that were well-built,
193
00:40:45,910 --> 00:40:48,811
solid, robust?
194
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:24,268
Professor Etienne Matras
195
00:42:25,943 --> 00:42:29,310
studied the phenomenon
196
00:42:29,813 --> 00:42:31,838
for months, every day.
197
00:42:34,018 --> 00:42:35,679
At the same time,
198
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,448
he asked participants,
199
00:42:40,491 --> 00:42:43,289
family members, friends,
200
00:42:43,794 --> 00:42:47,161
other researchers, even children,
201
00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:51,091
even members of the Catholic Church,
202
00:42:53,504 --> 00:42:58,669
to count the fish in the 25 auariums
203
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:01,302
he had at the laboratory.
204
00:43:01,812 --> 00:43:07,375
lt turned out that they were incapable
of counting those fish.
205
00:43:07,451 --> 00:43:11,217
They gave numbers ranging from three
206
00:43:11,288 --> 00:43:14,917
to 15, 1 1, 10.
207
00:43:17,361 --> 00:43:19,352
o one was in agreement.
208
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:24,628
And, surprisingly,
209
00:43:24,702 --> 00:43:28,331
at the end, people had
210
00:43:28,405 --> 00:43:34,469
a sort of hallucination that brought about
211
00:43:35,646 --> 00:43:36,977
our phenomenon.
212
00:43:37,047 --> 00:43:40,244
They were incapable of counting
213
00:43:40,317 --> 00:43:43,718
the number of auariums there were.
214
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,755
l said 27.
215
00:43:46,423 --> 00:43:50,223
Some said 24. Others, 30.
216
00:43:50,561 --> 00:43:54,327
One person even thought
he had counted 100.
217
00:43:55,366 --> 00:43:57,664
So there was something there
218
00:43:58,068 --> 00:44:00,400
to spark a scientist´s interest.
219
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:04,132
So Professor Matras
220
00:44:05,175 --> 00:44:07,166
began to think about
221
00:44:07,244 --> 00:44:09,804
just the fish themselves,
222
00:44:10,714 --> 00:44:14,616
and their sudden appearance
and disappearance.
223
00:44:17,721 --> 00:44:21,714
And he observed once more
224
00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:26,220
that there were fish that appeared
and disappeared,
225
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:30,862
fish one could call ´´phantom fish.´´
226
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:37,167
Where did these phantom fish come from?
227
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:41,209
Of course, the uantum theory
228
00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:45,810
was put forth that these fish
229
00:44:46,216 --> 00:44:50,550
were akin to Schroedinger´s cat,
230
00:44:52,089 --> 00:44:55,388
that they could dissolve in water.
231
00:44:56,260 --> 00:45:00,196
That these fish were, in a way,
232
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,097
soluble.
233
00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:05,201
But there were other theories.
234
00:45:06,070 --> 00:45:08,163
This is where
235
00:45:09,139 --> 00:45:12,973
one of the participants,
one of the researchers, comes in.
236
00:45:13,310 --> 00:45:15,904
He was also a chef.
237
00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:20,381
He thought he recognixed certain fish
238
00:45:20,684 --> 00:45:25,280
that he had been very fond of,
to the point of not wishing
239
00:45:25,989 --> 00:45:28,583
to eat them or have them be eaten.
240
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:34,394
He regarded the fish in the auarium
alive and well,
241
00:45:35,299 --> 00:45:39,793
with some sadness
242
00:45:39,970 --> 00:45:42,700
and reproach.
243
00:45:43,974 --> 00:45:48,741
Those fish had been killed
so they could be eaten.
244
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:52,541
And they did not approve of this.
245
00:45:54,384 --> 00:45:58,343
ature itself did not represent...
246
00:45:58,422 --> 00:46:00,549
The fish did not approve.
247
00:46:02,893 --> 00:46:07,330
So, Professor Matras, a scientist,
248
00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:10,933
nonetheless,
249
00:46:12,269 --> 00:46:14,396
kept his distance.
250
00:46:15,973 --> 00:46:18,373
He kept his distance.
251
00:46:26,850 --> 00:46:28,579
And
252
00:46:32,422 --> 00:46:34,287
he wanted...
253
00:46:34,358 --> 00:46:38,294
He wanted to give this phenomenon a name.
254
00:46:40,130 --> 00:46:44,658
He gave the name ´´auatic indeterminacy´´
255
00:46:45,369 --> 00:46:50,068
to the phenomenon that consisted
of making fish appear
256
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:52,207
and disappear.
257
00:46:57,648 --> 00:47:00,640
Auatic indeterminacy.
258
00:47:25,108 --> 00:47:27,474
Well,
259
00:47:27,945 --> 00:47:30,470
you have seen,
260
00:47:31,448 --> 00:47:35,248
you were able to observe
261
00:47:37,621 --> 00:47:41,250
the plurality and the particularity
262
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,016
of fish.
263
00:47:45,996 --> 00:47:49,864
Of phantom fish, naturally.
264
00:47:51,969 --> 00:47:54,767
ot of real fish.
265
00:47:56,406 --> 00:48:00,843
And yes, supernumeraries
266
00:48:00,978 --> 00:48:05,278
are fish that tend to remain themselves.
267
00:48:09,486 --> 00:48:10,748
This fish,
268
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:13,019
without going any further,
269
00:48:14,124 --> 00:48:18,026
this fish is uniue.
270
00:48:21,698 --> 00:48:23,598
Look.
271
00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:40,072
He is uniue.
272
00:48:41,785 --> 00:48:44,720
He is singular.
273
00:48:48,859 --> 00:48:52,761
But for how long? How long?
274
00:49:03,707 --> 00:49:05,572
ln a certain sense,
275
00:49:07,377 --> 00:49:08,935
there are
276
00:49:10,580 --> 00:49:12,070
no longer fish
277
00:49:13,684 --> 00:49:17,950
that are not phantoms.
278
00:49:18,021 --> 00:49:22,048
All fish are phantom fish, in a certain sense.
279
00:49:23,060 --> 00:49:24,618
ln another sense,
280
00:49:24,695 --> 00:49:27,687
there are fish that are phantoms
and those that are not,
281
00:49:30,801 --> 00:49:32,826
and those that never will be.
282
00:49:33,503 --> 00:49:35,664
When they die,
283
00:49:36,373 --> 00:49:38,967
they die for good. lt´s over.
