Brazilian-born, NY-based artist Vik Muniz spoke on creativity at the 2003 TED Conference in Monterey, CA. It's 15 minutes but I assure you it's worth your time! You'll be amused and touched and challenged/inspired about what it means to be creative, what it means to negotiate that space between audience and artist. It's not as straight-forward as we often make it seem. This is the sort of thing I think I aspire to do ... Maybe some day soon?
About Me
- Helen Kim
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- The pursuit of art -- and all its related endeavors -- has been like a pile of dirty laundry in the corner of my mind since I graduated from art school back in 1996. I figured it was high time I started on that pile and resolve some issues. This is my way of documenting my search for meaning and merit in art/creativity and hopefully -- finally -- doing something about that stinko pile. I'd like to see what it feels like to OWN that corner instead of tip-toeing around it like I've been.

Manhattan has such great clouds... gotta love the east coast
so i watched it again since it inspired you so much...they are very seemingly accessible, eventhough there's so much self-referential (art) work. of course it's very intelligent work and he doesn't have to go into any of what's going on on the more conceptual level, but i think they are accessible to a still small audience. i understand where he's coming from all too well, so what i'm still left with is...would this process please God? Is this still perversion of what He meant it to be? i don't know. so why do you have two blogs?
