http://www.ted.com Artist Kate Hartman uses wearable electronics to explore how we communicate, with ourselves and with the world. In this quirky and thought-proviking talk she shows the "Talk To Yourself Hat", the "Inflatable Heart", the "Glacier Embracing Suit", and other unexpected devices.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

  • THE BITCH HUGS GLACIERS...

  • this really shifts nothing

  • 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)

  • Arduino LilyPad! :-)

  • this women is a tad mental...

  • I swear she is from another universe, I SWEAR OR ALIEN or something like that.

  • Another crappy talk on the descent TED :/
