Video of the Week: JR’s TED Wish: Turn the World Inside Out with Art

JR’s TED Wish: Turn the World Inside Out with Art
Meet JR, a French street artist with global ambitions. JR travels around the world with his 28mm wide-angle lens trying to capture the unguarded, funny, soulful, and above all, REAL faces of our fellow human beings. He blows up these images and pastes them on urban surfaces for all to see and consider. Images of Parisian thugs are pasted up in bourgeois neighborhoods; photos of Israelis and Palestinians are posted together on both sides of the walls that separate them. In his own words, he wants to “create projects so huge with the community that they are forced to ask themselves questions”.

Every Wednesday, Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams leads an open meditation session in a quiet college classroom where he’s working on his degree. Williams meditates every morning, before practices, and before he heads into the stadium on game day. “For me, [meditation] is like food. It’s spiritual food, and I need to be fed… I just go into the game very clear, with that balance between focus and relaxation.” And with that inner clarity, he can’t help but share with others: “The act of giving is a very healing thing.” [ more ]
