think like an artist
me in my case since childhood always
I was
studied dance dance painting
and still I always felt art as
a distant concept even isolated from my
everyday life
now out of respect for those who study the
art
very disciplined to those who exercise it
as a full-time profession
the focus of this talk is not
convince everyone that we are
artists
if not invite them to think how
if we all do with this ability to
imagine of questioning of exploring
my question is what converts us from
soon
of actions reactions
my hypothesis is riis
all the decisions we make and for
so the limitations that we have
are influenced by this idea of
risk
I’m risking being here with me
you this day
this issue that I am risking the
get dressed this way by saying or not
speak one’s mind
the fear of being questioned judged
even somehow
[Music]
blocked by the world
it takes us away from thinking like artists of
understand risk as part of our
school hand
there is a book of the ipax work that is called
what God laughs about
in this book the protagonist
accompanied by a guide
what is helping him to redefine some
concepts of life
among them fear
in one of the in one of the scenes
the guide asks the protagonist to
walks on a wooden plank
is on the plank floor more
which the protagonist
the next scene is
it is between 12
the roof with eta
the guide asks you again to do
exactly the same
obviously the protagonist looks out and
of the precipice and they are going to be
I’m not going to fall, I ‘m going to break all
bones I’m going to die my mom that’s going to
be my mom is very scared and very
depressed and I was going to pick up my dog
imagine all the fears that happened
by the head
have not even tried
now my proposal
analogies see art as
we can not explore and experience
question
without dying in the attempt
with this in mind a group of colleagues and
I’ve been two years
we develop a space for young people
university where the most important thing
is to detonate questions generate scenarios
new
and sorry to imagine art as a
risk controlled tool
the results have been very interesting
we found in the art is connection
between ideas and stories
between emotions and means of expression
between questions and possibility
now our intention
because one already there are universities schools
what does he do
last two
just for example your project
they saw in the city a half ex
the urban movement a language
graphic
the platform that they are
presenting
is a platform open to any
person in any part of the world
allows register
record your movements along the
day in a city
this platform then sends the
information a vehicle that what
does is draw on a blank canvas
the entire journey of these people in
real time
now for this project and they used the
art as a creative process that
detonated a relevant question
they used technology as a means
to connect already the human network as a
space to enhance this work of art
Now I am like many other projects
they are just the prototype what we are looking for
be an education model
under the philosophy under the definition
art of seth godin with a strategist
of marketing
we have taken the art of us as a
condition accessible to all and the
definition in the next art is something
what do we humans do
risking us to fail with the objective
to motivate today or influence other beings
humans
there goes again arts something I would like
Even if I do not see them raise their hands
who from here has ever done something
even raising your hand is worth
what do we human beings do
again raise your hand who from here
It is a human being to turn to the sides
see if everyone raised their hands
risking us to fail and not
I will ask to raise their hands but
assume that we have all failed
once and that we will continue doing it
with the objective of leading or motivating
other human beings
now again our goal is not
form artists but imagine the
possibilities that are detonated when thinking
how we want to see art like this
piece that connects body mind and soul
the setting with us
invited to think as artists to
remember that we were all created with
this ability to question imagine and
create but in art a place where
we can take risks and be part of
this collective evolution
thank you very much
[Applause]
