A library of human imagination by Jay Walls
Posted by Celia Walter | 7 Jan, 2009Jay Walker, curator of the Library of Human Imagination, conducts a surprising show-and-tell session highlighting a few of the intriguing artifacts that backdropped the 2008 TED stage.
From the Comments:
I love the glass bridge and the beautiful, color changing, mural in SO
many languages. From Kanji to Binary... great!. I wish he had shown the
odd Whitminstatin (sp?) patern meteorites often have. Great history!. I
do believe that contact and surrounding youself with original and
inspirational objects can inspire and lead people to new thoughts,
inspiration, and actual motivation. I don't think there are many
sources for motivation.
Thank you TED for once again giving me hope.
Interesting thought... how would you make a message if you wanted to
see it at multiple scales, directions, angles, and durable enough to
percieve at different time frames?
I'm thinking a repeating fractal, like a crystal stored in iron, strong
enough to withstand the heat and pressure of reentry on an extra
terrestrial surface. (like the oddly beautiful pattern found in
meteorites.)
