Hi! So, I’m still at TED Active, but my heart is completely wanting to be in Kitchener for TEDxWaterloo today! I hope you are all having an AMAZING time and taking it ALL in!
There are a lot of really great, interesting people here in Palm Springs – two of them being Amy Krouse-Rosenthal, who spoke at TEDxWaterloo last year! and Dan Jacob, the creator of TEDxToronto!
Totally psyched to attempt to Skype with the crew at the Centre in the Square today – and share with you guys “The Public heART Lost and Found Project” by Amy.
The TEDActive Public Heart project features an interactive art installation — a public “Lost and Found” board where you anonymously speak your heart by sharing what you feel lost about. Other attendees can “find” your message, and offer advice and direction.
Would you like to contribute to the project? Send Amy your messages (lost OR found!) and she will make sure they are added in!
You can read more about the project HERE.
Dan and I, have been having some great brainwaves about how to collaborate across our wicked Waterloo/Toronto/SouthWestern Ontario Region and we’re really excited to come back and tell you guys about JR’s Global Public Art Project “Inside Out”.
Oh man! 2011 is going to be INCREDIBLE! As incredible as TED & TEDACTIVE & TEDxWATERLOO COMBINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
See you soon!
Amy and Dan and Hilary!
PS> Funny Story – for the past 4 hours I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a good connection for this Skype mission… somewhere quiet and well wired… i was at a loss and asked the Universe, “please bring me a magical internet machine…” and TA-DA! Matthew – a TED volunteer brought me a magical internet closet! With a long cord!
We are IN business!!!!!!!
Many thanks to Matthew, TED and Amy and Dan for making this possible.
I seem to have lost some of my childhood … Have been doing all I can to find it again!
