Aaron Koblin is the bridge between creativity and data. If you know his work, nothing new here, except he's presenting it at TED! His work and data visualization is set to become much more relevant in the next few years, humanizing data and creating more sense through storytelling.
Art is often a reaction to the world we live in and as the world around us is shifting, not just in terms of technology but also within behaviour, it's really exciting to see how the art world is embracing and experimenting within it. Not that artists are new to embracing technology, but there are much more possibilities opening up. It's interesting to see how these individual perceptions and technologies are illustrated and explored within the art world. Art often influences the advertising world (amongst other fields) due to style, original techniques and thinking, I look forward to seeing more artistic reactions to the behavioral shifts to the world we are currently moving more into. On the other hand, I like my classics so I imagine that original thinking and simplicity will be most influential to me. One of the best things about art is that it's open to interpretation. This is a great little documentary that doesn't try to answer all the questions, but rather bring them to the table. A lot of great and influential speakers/artists in there as well ;-) I'm not sure if I totally agree with Aaron Koblin and his opening line about time, maybe he has more time than most?
A taste of the future and things to come. This will develop into something great... either by Google or someone else. But it still has a big wow factor if you think about the technology ;-)
