watching Raghava KK claiming to be an artist right after watching the Kate Hartman talk(where she claims to be a 'technologist') was refreshing. I didn't dislike her ideas, but I was amazed at the questions she was trying to raise and how she didn't come up with more relatable solutions... maybe she just needs some human perspective.(I acknowledge that ideas like the plant thing are useful and fun at the same time, and am sure there are similar ideas I haven't heard of from her)
@roidroid Just beacause we don't choose to anthropomorphise things (like, glaciers for example) that have no emotions or consciousness (at least, not in any relatable way) does not make us "Autistics" Matter of fact, that is insulting, both to autistics, the sufferers or a real disease, and to anyone who doesn't think hugging a glacier is a useful way to spend your life. (BTW, it isn't, and convincing someone to pay you for it doesn't change that)
@wendighoul Anthropomorphising things is an innate part of the human psyche, and is apparent everywhere you look in society. examples: every religion ever, naming your car, pareidolia, etcetc.
The sheer levels of seething hatred that the fun & whimsical ideas in this youtube video has inspired in it's audience here, is quite quite sad. i mean holy shit people, what the fuck, shouldn't you all be busy burning down art gallerys, or beating your children, or whatever the fuck you people do
@roidroid Fair enough... ceratinly she doesn't deserve the amount of vitriol directed at her, but you aren't much better are you? Anthromorphising may be normal... but it doesn't mean you're abnormal if you don't, certainly not "autistic". And there is certainly a difference between saying something dumb and pointless is dumb and pointless, and burning down art gallery or beating children. Your insane anger does not diminish theirs, it just add to the total amount.
I'm sorry but these devices do little to nothing to facilitate the way we interact with the world. If you want to have a conversation with yourself, you don't need a stupid looking hat to do it, just speak! if you want to listen to a glacier, you don't need megaphones or heat reflective strips of material to do it, just go and take it in! These inventions are a huge waste of resources and money.
@MrJemmyJoe yeah fuck architects, what do they know? all these years of studying light and space in their fancy-shmancy universities, what a waste of time. I could build a nice looking skyscraper in an afternoon, pff.
Yeah, she's nutty and quirky but mildly interesting for a couple of minutes. But why should we be forced to pay her salary? And to provide her with an office? That's just plain offensive. Can anybody defend such an utter waste of resources?
Gut listener = dressed up stethescope, nothing new there. The soil is drying out and triggering the signal so actually the plant does nothing, no new dynamic there either. She is entertaining though so I guess this falls into TED for that reason, that is if you find a pretentious twat heaping up bullshit entertaining.
This is an example of why art is beautiful. This served no distinct measurable purpose, offered no linear progression towards some end goal, furthered no efforts in any discipline, but it still is something that everyone watching can appreciate.
WTF! Now standup comedy on TED? Stupid presentation.. it seems a waste of human resources funding such ideas. If her intent was not comedy, she is really crazy.
Artist inventing wearable electronics does not seem like a good idea to spread. May be she should join the forces of Apple. Invent an iConnect device like in the Avataar to plug with the opposite sex?
@JohnfjRoi I get that good satire is supposed to be almost indistinguishable from the real thing, but this isn't crazy enough to scream "satire!" to me, and no part of the video's description hints at its supposedly intentionally humorous nature.
Her website also doesn't give me that impression, though honestly I'm not interested enough in the possibility of this all being satirical that I'm going to comb through her work.
@a575981735977018 artists can sometimes get funding thru organizations that support her ideas and concepts. Private or public, depending on the project that she proposes. so while the public wont buy into her ideas, a private collector, or beneficiary might want to invest in furthering her ideas.
"These are initial musings for this project. And, just as with the wall, how I wanted to be more wall-like, with this project I'd actually like to take more of a glacial phase, and so my intent is to, uhm, actually just take the next 10 years, uhm, and, uh, go on a series of collaborative projects where I work, you know, with people from different disciplines - artists, technologists, scientists - to kind of work in this project on how we can improve human-glacier relations."
@Rarae192 I'd totally have her as a girlfriend. "Hi, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Kate. She's actually funny. No, not just in the able-to-laugh-at-your-jokes way, but she's able to be funny all on her own. Yours?"
@Rarae192 Do you really think that would improve my chances in any statistically detectable way? To be honest I'm not sure I know how to pleasure a piece of cloth. In fact, how do I even know it's consenting? I wouldn't want her to think I was a rapist, you know....
@Snagabott Dude, if there's anything this zany bitch is trying to communicate with all of that crazy shit she's putting on, it's, "I need a fuckin' root! Badly." You need to send her a message back, and since she's fond of communicating through that head gear, you need to fuck that head gear. Trust me, if you've got anything in your pants to detect, no matter how statistically insignificant, I'm sure she'll have a hat to detect it. I know women, I almost had sex with one once.
I don't know why there's so many people trying to defend this drivel. Likely they're just self- satisfied contrarians. I'm all for the ideas of wearable technology, but a tea cozy for a stethoscope, or strapping a sheet of ply-wood to your back is not in any way "wearable technology." This was completely juvenile and in no way deserving of a platform like TED. What's next? Someone who draws pictures of clouds because that's a "symbolic representation of how we interact with clouds?" Nonsense!
As a fiscal conservative I agree, to a point. Art has a reputation of inspiring and shaping technology. Much of the sci-fi fiction (literary art) of yesterday inspires the technological innovations of today. You never know how these sorts of artistic movements will shape the future of botany, political science, and fashion... just to name a few. Think bigger :-)
@nomorefood If you didn't notice, I started by saying that I don't mind her thinking and presenting stupid ideas. But to get paid for these stupid ideas, whereas many-many really wonderful ideas are being shot down quoting the lack of money... that's what I complain against. I don't understand why you would pay her to develop something "you never know" (quoting your own words) would be useful, while saying no to life-saving drug research saying "it's recession".
@DonDuracell Her work has been exhibited internationally and featured by the New York Times, BBC, CBC, NPR, in books such as “Fashionable Technology” and “Art Science Now”. Her work is currently on view in the “Talk to Me” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I Loved this talk. People like Kate offer a different, obscure outlook on life, that leads to innervation and new better ways of doing things. Go Kate!
Perhaps I neglect being critical of what is worthy or not worthy of a TedTalk, but I really enjoyed what she brought to the table. While the topic doesn't pertain to any great current event or alarming situation (save retreating glaciers) her art is a really great example of how we're taking advantage of and neglecting all of the resources and technology at our disposal. Personally, I want a wearable wall....
@StuartIsCheese I get the impression that a lot of people who watch this channel are very literal and don't really understand the point of art or novelty.
@celsius233 i would say that is somewhat correct, but its not that i dont understand it, its just that i watch TED to learn about facts, our world and get inside the head of a genius.
@Crazee108 no that was not a fact. its a fact that people *thought* the sun flew around our planet, not that it really did.
a fact is a theory that has been tested many thousand times to be true, and never failed and is considered to be 99.99% correct under any circumstances at the least. and a theory is a hypothesis still being tested, if it fails at some point its no longer a theory. and a hypothesis is the same as an idea.
@celsius233 the fact is that people need fun =) another fact is that more facts can be found trough imagination and fun.. i search, read and see other things that TED for that.. im not the one to say that this shouldnt be on ted, or that she is crazy.. its just not what I want to see when i see a TED video
It was alright and interesting in its own way, but it never really went anywhere. She kept saying "I'm interested in the negative space around the object and how people are transformed by wearing it"...without ever telling us how people are transformed by wearing it. It was just a list of "these are things I've done and been interested in," which doesn't really seem to rise to the level of TED talk worthiness.
Jebus christ, if the talk is not brilliant everybody complains. This stuff used to be only for a select few who paid for it. So stfu and be thankfull TED shares the vids.

@celsius233 the fact is that people need fun =) another fact is that more facts can be found trough imagination and fun.. i search, read and see other things that TED for that.. im not the one to say that this shouldnt be on ted, or that she is crazy.. its just not what I want to see when i see a TED video

It was alright and interesting in its own way, but it never really went anywhere. She kept saying "I'm interested in the negative space around the object and how people are transformed by wearing it"...without ever telling us how people are transformed by wearing it. It was just a list of "these are things I've done and been interested in," which doesn't really seem to rise to the level of TED talk worthiness.

This was very humorous, it's amazing to see all these uptight "if it's not practical it's crap" comments. Is this not Entertainment?
Besides, it's fun to play around with the norms of social interaction.
