www.ted.com With his team at SENSEable City Lab, MIT's Carlo Ratti makes cool things by sensing the data we create. He pulls from passive data sets -- like the calls we make, the garbage we throw away -- to create surprising visualizations of city life. And he and his team create dazzling interactive environments from moving water and flying light, powered by simple gestures caught through sensors.

Robert Venturi is the father of postmodern architecture and, along with his partner Denise Scott Brown, has changed how the world thinks about buildings. I got a chance to meet this 86 year old legend recently and found him to be brilliant, funny, and truly an inspiration. In this 22 minute short film (part 1 is about 14 minutes and part 2 is about 7 minutes), I hope to present to you one of the most important creative artists and visionaries Philadelphia has ever produced.

ReplyDeleteThis is so cool and amazing. Imbaha ani oie.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I loved the idea of always sensing and then 'actuating'. But what came after was boring and stupid.
ReplyDelete@Murakamizo You are so right, at the end of the talk I did not understand how is he going to fight climate change with this crap.TED has to check the quality of work.
ReplyDeletewow, the animation of the dancer was so so woeful. I don't understand why some tech people like to show this disgusting low quality awkward body animations.
ReplyDeleteThe flying pixels are so marketing oriented, the cost is huge, a lot of energy wasted. why? they are showing 2D images with it, boring, 3D images are also boring. We don't need flying super expensive pixels, we need projects that could use sensible information about how to think and use energy on cities. Like the f1 but useful
Great talk, but what made me return was his jacket. Does anyone know where I can get it?
ReplyDeleteFuture pollution of corporate visuals.

Here is another reason I love this film, while watching this encore showing Abbey Wambach just scored in the last 15 minutes making it 2 to 1 in the womans world cup!!! Oh, and I also love Woody Allen!!
ReplyDeleteI know little if anything about architecture, but this movie really made me think about the impact it has on our day to day lives. What a great guy Mr. Venturi is. (my cell phone's spell checker keeps trying to correct his name to Mr. Venturing, which is kind of cool.) Great movie, now on to part 2.
ReplyDeleteThis film definitely needs a second viewing! It is jammed packed with information
