Lee Boot (00:00): This video that you're looking at with the four circles in it is part of the SEEe Intuit project, as I said. And on that booth that you can see these photographs of, that was on the, the National Mall in, in dc around the edge of the booth were these little peepholes that you could peer into. And through each hole, you could see one of the films that are in these little circles on this video. Now, in this case, I've taken all four of those peephole films and put them on one video for you to look at. So here was the game that we asked visitors to the National Mall that day, to play. If you look at these four little films, these four round films, and try to imagine a single event, a relatively common event that happens really all around the world every day in many communities in many places what could that event be?

(01:06): You're looking at those four images. You're thinking, what, what event could connect all those together? What, what would have to be happening for me to see those, those four scenes all in one place? Each of those films was taken at the same place and time. So of course, the, the, the, the booth that we had in dc people could text their answer to this server and it would appear on this video screen on the booth. We don't have that set up here, but it'll be fun for you to just try to imagine what the answer is. And I'll tell you, it's you ready? Pause this if you don't want to hear it yet. Okay. Now I'm going to tell you, it's simply milking cows in a contemporary dairy farm using the machines they use to milk cows with. And it's early morning and the sun is rising and the cows are there and there's tubes and pipes and noises and all those things. So not something everybody sees every day. So we made it a little bit challenging, but yeah, that's what this is. I hope you had a little fun with that.
