Mystery (A TED Remix)

/

Something that is not fully understood. Something that baffles. Something that eludes comprehension. Something that sparks curiosity. Something puzzling, wanting to be solved. Something not seen but felt. Something known only through faith. 

Life is full of unanswered questions. 

The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes.) Each conference is structured around an overarching idea. A TED Remix is a new juxtaposition of talks around a specific theme.

Maya Angelou was once asked if she knew the meaning of life. She said she didn’t know the meaning of life but that she knew how to live a good life. The answer was simple. Four words. Live your life with passion, compassion, humor and style.

When surrounded by a wilderness of ideas, it is not enough to have a focused thought, one must take action and produce resourcefully, reliably and smartly. Since everything is media and everyone and everything is a brand, I seek to explore the ways in which artists, artisans and technicians are progressively searching, respecting the past, to intelligently express their creativity with a passion for culture, technology, marketing and advertising.
