Exploring the ways in which artists, artisans and technicians are intelligently expressing their creativity with a passion for culture, technology, marketing and advertising.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Here is Brown's closing talk of this year's TED conference. Let us be inspired by what she shares and go forth into the world daring greatly.

The Korea National Ballet advertising the newly available in Korea Levi’s Stretch Jean. (via designtaxi.com)
Two brands using ballet in their advertising to demonstrate product benefits. And while the spots are beautiful they come infused with a touch of irony, given how difficult it is actually to market ballet as an art form to the masses.
The Levi’s ad reminds me of the the must-see documentary Pina a tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch directed by Wim Wenders.
AUSTRALIAN RELEASE DATE: 18 August 2011 OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.hopscotchfilms.com.au/films/coming-soon/pina-movie/ PINA is a feature-length dance film in 3D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, featuring the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died in the summer of 2009.
“Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” Pina Bausch
These posters have been making the internet rounds all week. They are spectacular, one of those instances where I find myself thinking I wish I dreamt them up when I was marketing orchestras. They remind me of a passage from Claudia Shear’s Blown Sideways Through Life, where she recounts being a model for a painter and feeling like she was “part of the art, as it happened.”
