Hello everyone
Well now I come to talk about a topic
the central theme of these talks
when they told me it was Luis flowers
I could avoid thinking about the double meaning
of this word not on the one hand is the
how to rediscover lost enthusiasm
not like getting back a force that
maybe we have left behind and for
another side in the world of media
digital when you refresh your browser
it’s like he has that fear that he does not
appear what was before
then it ‘s like giving a restart to your
hard drive and start from scratch and
I wanted to talk to you a little, see what to do
when precisely life is
present something that we have to start
from the from scratch and was not what
we had planned then he wants
talk a little about some things that
have happened that have happened to me and how
surpass then very much like what we
they counted in the morning
I also had a career crisis
all the life here of I wanted to study
marketing and I thought that was my
way and when I was studying
precisely in between in 94
long ago the internet pages
they were having their fashion every
time the pages were like more
Interactive had a little more
design as you see almost nothing design
this is the amazon page the first
that they had the 94 and I started
very interested in technology and
design and I know I have tried to do
my coconut uas of not having between go to
spend more semester if you’re going to like
more your career do not worry if you do not
I did not like it
but it was that I saw that I did not have
same passion as others of my
colleagues that really interested me
more subjects that were not career
that want to race
so then I did have a great
crisis of what to do
I decided to finish but when I finished I said
I’m going to give a recital I have to start
again and find what what
what I want to do and then in a way
how very funny life led me to
research about the university of
NY
I’m a super movie fan and he calls me
much attention that many of the
interesting characters as directors
Writers factors had come out
bengoa and one of the new university
york and it says good something has to have
the university to produce this
so creative people martin scorsese
oliver stone the brothers coen philip
seymour hoffman very many and I got to
investigate what programs they had and why
there I found one with a name that
I said I do not know what this is but to see me
like interactive telecommunications
and it was described as designed in the
future
I said I do not know what the future is but I
I want to design it I do not want to be there and
good started then my process should
enter the university
the grace is that the program was
super crazy and I loved being surrounded
of artists and engineers in
electronics and people of all kinds of
vacances but at the same time I had to
pay me elvira and then I started to
work at the university of new york
and it was precisely because of my visa
for my visa data I could only
work at the same university
then I started working on pages
from Internet
I started as from the position as well as
that of the assistant of the assistant of the
tester and I went up to do
Mr. Programmer of all the
pages of the university
we are talking about a page that
has more than two thousand pages to two thousand
sections of content and we manage to win
our programming team
around 6
different prizes in programming
educational sites and good for me this one
it was an achievement in the sense that never
had been programming and then
everything was like a bit of self – learning
and at the same time I was working
also he was discovering the
city
I became like the habit of being
carrying a video camera and a
photo camera all the time with me
it was in times that there were no cell phones
with cameras and it took hours and
from the pebble to the sky
the most clicks filled the twin towers
or anything but I did not know for
what or what was going so that I was going to use them
but I liked to go catching and carry
as a record of everything that was
doing
also towards himself things like that he gave me
raritas that I would not do better to sit
in a cafeteria and pointed
other people’s conversations
I did not know what I was going to do with that but
I like to take that record
later I will tell you that he took everything
that and well unfortunately I had to
give another restart to my life came the
September 11 , 2001 and many
people changed our lives and not
necessarily because I was at a
block until today or like 10 but not
It was close but because you put on
ask what I do here really
this busy life of chaos is what
what I want is to make a city with
a lot of activity and suddenly it arrives
a moment that makes you question
that maybe that was not all that
that there was something else to do and
then after four years of
live there I decided to start again not
says where do I start I do not know what I want
but I want the opposite of what
I’m doing right now it ‘s life
took to montepulciano a town in
Italy is basically known for its
good food, good wines and life
quiet and then everything I knew
What I wanted to leave was technology
a time of disconnecting me medical will go
to a
yesterday to study how to make mosaic
Byzantine and I spent it building
without touching a computer for many
months
time later I saw that there really was
replaced the digital pixels by
the physical pixels because
basically the same thing what was
doing simply in a way
completely manual disconnected from the
technology as he spent my sabbatical year
let’s say how I resumed many forces and
I decided to return to Mexico
I started working in different
projects like you enter in a rhythm of
very heavy work for you where
be I realized it was not so much
the stress of the city if it was not my
own stress and years later once
I felt bad I went to the doctor and it turns out
month you’re pregnant and put a good
news that we wanted to have a baby
but the bad news was that it was a
pregnancy of high-risk pregnancies
baby strap a lot less than 10% danger
likely to live with
next eight months
You have to spend them in bed lying down
do not stop at all
I could not even go back to the
office to pay my computer
say goodbye to the people with whom
I worked
nothing from there to bed and it sounds good not
spend eight months in bed ten minutes
what father did you miss all the
movies that you wanted to see what it was
very fan of the cinema but the truth is that
they are not not as fun as it sounds
because you’re like forced to that
break
your body is resting but you
mind is not resting on the contrary
you are full of anguish with this
responsibility that if you do something
wrong
the baby dies then I had to
start a recital of my life is not
physically for ba not in in a
restaurant and mentally full of chaos and
well this led me to retake all
those photos videos texts that I recorded
I like a little girl years before and I
I put to work in making projects for
artistic projects that I like to
me edit video and how good I am
brought this was that I started going into
contests
for example this was the winner of
contemporary art meeting
here in the state of puebla and then
had an outlet for all emotions
then it’s the restart was something something that
helped me survive the truth is that
those months
on the other hand I also started doing
a lot of work equal of web pages
on social issues that is I
I want projects that mean something
for someone to help spread
good ideas then being there
in bed I worked in the computer and
I used to make programs
applications for organizations
well I do not take them off and the suspense the
baby, well, after all, it came out
all right
and there is already six years and
have been the only times he has had
to start again the truth is that
all during our whole life we have
those those events that change us or
simply those moments when you do not
you are convinced that what you are
making you wonder what it is
my function in life and I wanted
then share some things from the
that have helped me out
ahead
one is activate your passions that sounds
it also sounds in a double sense but not
is that
here it means that it is very easy to be
virtual activists I do not see in
facebook, how is it possible that the
Bullfights are such a crime
we share a crime or not and then I see
abandoned puppies there’s this one
adopt in this little dog so this one does not
I put my face sad because the project
I was but really how can we
bring all those ideas all
everything is enthusiasm to real life how
we can be political activists
cultural activities but take it to
do some
Egypt because we can not do the best that
love for the puppies that you know that I
I’m in the design because maybe
some website where people can
upload photos and videos of the puppies that
found and help and find them a
home or why I ‘m not going to support a place
a shelter where you are taking care of your
eternal animals then carry
our projects to action
another thing that I think is very effective
to get out of these holes
existential is to do something new though
we all have that kind of thing that all
the life that we did but for
some reason we never did that
do them because time and life goes by
it becomes increasingly busy girl
I never did today I always wanted to play piano
what father piano
now you get into a class you start
practical crafts like the looks
a tutorial puts a workshop whatever
but it’s something that you have to
leave your comfort zone other
find the balance all day by
example we are assuming that we are
in classes
you are listening to everything that the
teacher or maybe you go and talk with
A friend is telling you something, your friend
then you go to your house at the best time or
netflix and the movies and listen
music that is entering and entering and
entering information but it is that it is
coming out of you that you are producing
find the balance between those entries
of information with those outputs of
information as you express your
feelings how do you get everything
do you have
become a person who produces that
creates although I know write a paragraph of
something but you have something that really is
as a channel to get all your
emotions develops projects
personal
personal projects are those
that they do not have to respond to any
customer teacher friend family already know
that the typical one when the designer
journalistically
that happens a lot to us and those projects
Personal are things that only the
It is for you because you are passionate
because you want to learn the best more
of a topic but they do not respond
absolutely nobody better than you that
is going to be that you fill a gap that
the best you did not know what there was but
that is feeding you the soul of a
very enriching way finds
those things that those issues
those things that you are passionate about and
try to develop projects for that
For example, it detects a problem in your
community and try to solve it
I think a lot of today’s papers
have been precisely that they found a
problem and they tried to solve what the
way that for them it was was better in
you remember when they were little
and they played in the sand or in the logo with
the corn and it’s with play dough and what
he least cared about getting dirty
I returned to that very basic part of
we have humans to play never
forget to stop having fun and
play the when we do something manual
our mind goes through a process in which
It is cleared and you had a thousand problems already
they forgot at least for a little while
but try to use your hands and other
perhaps a very important one is never
stop being a student
I hope is that when you graduated from
suddenly all the knowledge is already
and nothing else but to apply it but
reality is that he starts the
principle of learning is exactly
when graduating because there already the
responsibility does not fall teachers
it does not fall into the uni is that it does not
He said
here on how and what I want to learn
I want to surround myself with more people
smart that I who knows more than
can serve as mentors
I want to take tutorials I want to make a
specialization that I want to do as
I will continue learning and what is it
what I want to keep learning is part
of the one of the most motivations
great in life
and good a hard one is not
disconnect you try to drop the
releasing the compu phone for a while
the best is difficult for you at first
Challenge yourself one hour then two hours no
there was a dialogue one weekend and
then maybe you make it a
vacation on the beach without being
checking everything that happens here helps you
the disconnect of the technology you
helps to see the more human side of
things helps you see landscapes with the
eyes but with the camera more trips
creative creative travel no no
it means that you have to go to the other
side of the world to find you but that
You can go for a trip to 40
minutes from here to a small town and and
talk with people to see what’s in the
streets in the cafes or just
listen to other ideas have other
people to try to talk with them
that motivates them and try to establish
those connections in your daily life do not
you have and be like feeding your
spirit and also your human side that
it is always a complement and finally
he used barack obama’s words
do not forget rainy whoever it is
If you are unique there is no one like you and
the authentic being is what at the end of
accounts to carry to establish
connections with the world and with others
and really make a change agent
many
