Stefan Sagmeister's Ted Talks was engaging and slightly hilarious. One of the statements that stood out to me was a sort of off hand comment he made about one the the pieces of art that interested him was this:
"If you abstract an image you open as much room for the unrepresentable and are therefore able to involve the viewer more."
I also really enjoyed his list at the end of the talk about things he wanted to try when working on his art. I think it's a really great list that could be incorporated all of our work:
Thinking about ideas and content freely - without the deadline far away
Working without interruption on a single project
Using a wide variety of tools and techniques
Traveling to new places
Working on projects that matter to me
Having things come back from the printer done well
Ken Robinson- Schools Kill Creativity
"If your not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with something original"
"Professors live in their heads (and slightly to one side)"- funny comment never to share with my mother (and English professor).
"Creativity comes about though the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things."
What do I love more than Lost?
I'm IN. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. with J.J. Abrams.
Several basic ideas from his talk:
Infinite possibility
Mystery is more important than knowledge
What are stories but mystery boxes?
Importance of investment of characters
