ted talks : JR

03.07.2011 · Posted in artist, street art

Today has been a crazy day, so I leave you with this video. You are prob­a­bly famil­iar with TED Talks, an annual con­fer­ence that is devoted to the notion of “Ideas Worth Spread­ing”. It’s gen­er­ally a pretty amaz­ing con­fer­ence that really leaves you thank­ful that peo­ple are still will­ing to think out­side the box.

Annu­ally, one indi­vid­ual is awarded $100,000 to help achieve their wish to save the world. This year, a semi-anonymous French street artist, JR, won. Using a cam­era, wheat-pasting, and a crew to help him, he pastes pho­tos on mas­sive can­vases through­out the world. It is pretty incred­i­ble and worth the 24 minute view­ing. Check it out below:
