TEDx, Bangalore - My interpretations
TEDx Talks | May 29, 2016 | Elective 2 | tulip sinha
The TEDx event in Bangalore is what I decided to take up as one of my electives.
The diversity of speakers truly stuck to the tag-line the event had been promoting, that of 'fluid'.
What seemed at first as a very erratic mix of speakers and content, actually had underlying patterns that one could decipher if they wanted to.
I decided to put down my own set of interpretations to what I heard and categorized them broadly into DUALITY & DICHOTOMY, which may or may not be congruent with the ideas that the organizers may have had in mind.
The slides below showcase the categories along with mug shots of the speakers whose content I felt fitted that label the best. Thereafter, the essence of the content that was shared by the speakers has been put forth in bullet points.
Each of the categories and the points under them can be sources of debate and further dissection, however, these infographics are only meant to be a quick reckoner for what can be lengthy discussions.  |

How aesthetically you have categorized you interpretation of the 'fluid' Ted X talks!
ReplyDeleteWhat caught my eye were the words, 'Michael-Angelo' phenomenon. Had never heard of this before. Google tells me that, The Michelangelo phenomenon is a phenomenon observed by psychologists in which interdependent individuals influence and "sculpt" each other (to bring out the better in each other, I assume).
Interesting. How many of us really do? Do we sculpt to promote the others growth, or do we chisel and reshape to have them fit into our ways of living? Are we really generous people? Or, are we merely selfish? Is survival of the fittest the antithesis to this phenomenon? And hasn't evolution always been about survival? Yes, sculpting each other to give a better form is true, but do we not practice this only with people who we are not threatened by? Do humans REALLY bring out the best in each other? Questions, my friend, questions. Worth a debate...
Thank you so much Rekha!So glad that you went through it in detail. I sort of revisited the Michael Angelo phenomenon after years of hearing it in my design school. Must have a debate on it!
