This guy looks like Christian Slater. I really hate this and it depresses me. He's taking the piss and the TED audience, obviously intelligent people can all feel a collective surperiority to those zany contemporary artists. Really, that's how the rest of the world views us? There are intelligent people involved in contemporary art, why can't intelligent people from other disciplines take it seriously in some way?
thats interesting you sau that - i dint pick up on that but i see that you are right.
but nevertheless i like it cos its DIY. SO in the same way as you say to make the holograms fictionally (which i also tried incidentally), I think thats really what the project is about.
I get frustrated at not being able to do certain projects in the real world and it seems that the only option is to pretend they occur and fake it like in borges.
im sure the project was much more earnest and he was being flippant at the talk cos he was like embarrassed or whatever.
