According to TED.com: “Using animation, projections and her own moving shadow, Miwa Matreyek performs a gorgeous, meditative piece about inner and outer discovery. Take a quiet 10 minutes and dive in. With music from Anna Oxygen, Mirah, Caroline Lufkin and Mileece.”
“Miwa Matreyek’s work blurs the line between real and unreal. In live works that integrate animation, performance, and video installation, she explores how animation changes when it is combined with body and space (and vice versa). In her video projects, animation takes on a more physical and present quality, while body and space take on a more fantastical quality.”
Enjoy this delightful presentation!
For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”

While not a mandala artist, Lisa Park is creating something so unique with the interface of her emotions, technology and a circular array of bowls of water that I wanted to share it with you.
Seeing this first on Facebook, I found that the video below is part of a collection by Mana Contemporary on Vimeo.
In this video Lisa Park demonstrates and explains “Eunoia II”, a performance piece using an EEG headset to obtain real-time feedback of her brainwaves and emotional reactions. Emotional data picked up by the EEG headset gets translated into sound waves that create vibrations in the pools of water placed on top of speakers. Fascinating! Enjoy!

According to ted.com: “When Sue Austin got a power chair 16 years ago, she felt a tremendous sense of freedom — yet others looked at her as though she had lost something. In her art, she aims to convey the spirit of wonder she feels wheeling through the world. Includes thrilling footage of an underwater wheelchair that lets her explore ocean beds, drifting through schools of fish, floating free in 360 degrees. (Filmed at TEDxWomen.)”
“In repurposing her wheelchair to create fantastical art, Sue Austin reshapes how we think about disability.”
This is a fascinating perspective on what life in a wheelchair can truly be. Enjoy.
