Use art to turn the world inside out | JR

French street artist JR uses his camera to show the world its true face, by pasting photos of the human face across massive canvases. At TED2011, he makes his audacious TED Prize wish: to use art to turn the world inside out.

I am a photographer. Currently in end stage liver/kidney failure. I will use the time I have left to use my art to change the world.

Stunning. Stunning work, stunning genius, and stunning that there are no negative comments on the first page right now. Good work, JR. This is fantastic!

I definitely believe in the power of art: creating thought, changing perceptions, being aware, bringing discussion, and making a difference. JR, I am doing something similarly with mental health/illness/anti-stigma awareness through art. Believe in making a difference.

[bboutie]

I have listened to it for 24 minutes and all I can say - THAT IS GENIOUS!

[gnore_me.]

the fact that his identity is still unconfirmed, is honestly amazing. this man is changing the world.

[vanillalevertizen]

This man's boldness is contagious! I will become more bolder with my art.
Lately I've been creating things that focus on "will this be what people LIKE?"
But how about I add some spice. Something that I stand for.
I may not be a photographer but I'll apply that to my own work. Thank you~

Great talk by A great artist. By bringing the art to people who wouldn't normally get to see it he has changed lives!

[reneet]

This is something we can all do, and it's amazing work!

This video is great, JR is a big speaker he shows us that if you want to do something to help the world, you can do it with a simple idea. You don´t need a lot of money to do something really extraordinary, the world needs more of these people, who do something to show to others that everybody are same. that violence or problems that many countries have, can be solve.
