Days have been taken by an unexpected invitation to exhibit the prototype installation at a TEDx event this coming Sunday, August 4th at Bohemian Hall. A tweet from the TEDx asking if I could get my installation together and show up with it to the Bohemian Hall got me scrambling in fifth gear.
What is TEDx?
In their definition:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At TEDxUpperEastSide, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
Got the film proof from Michigan edited and uploaded; a new one is one its way in time the show. Got a van to schlep everything from my work lab in Brooklyn (at City Tech where I teach) and back. Got a brochure written, designed and printed so give out at the event. Got the nod from the folks at The Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association to deliver on Friday afternoon. Now all I need is the OK from the team leader at TEDxUES.
Went there this morning in the driving rain to see the location and it's totally awesome. The little vid below is the space in the back of the ballroom where, I'm assuming, SIS will reside for a day with me chatting it up with the 100 or so guests expected to hear a group of speakers discuss leadership, arts and culture, sustainability and education, just to name a few topics. A beautiful group of people to rub elbow with for an afternoon.
