For TEDxUbud 2017, they’re exploring new frontiers and stepping into the dark. It will be the first nighttime event in the grounds of the incredible Mask and Puppet Museum.
The speakers and performers will explore the ideas of light and darkness—topics will include astronomy, light technology, nocturnal animals, tales we tell in the dark and about the dark, art made with light, and even things we’d rather not shine the light on.
Half of our days are spent in the dark. Humans have been trying to find ways to keep the dark at bay for millennia and some of our most incredible innovations in Technology, Entertainment and Design have come about because of the need to bring light into the world.
Darkness is still a mystery – so much of what happens at night is still a secret – but the dark hours have given us humans the material and space to tell some of our best stories – and TEDxUbud at night will continue that tradition.
TED represents Technology, Entertainment and Design.
TEDx = ideas worth spreading. This is the single concept that has become the heart and soul of more than 16,500 TEDx events around the world. TEDxUbud, like all TEDx events, is about both speakers AND audience. It’s not just about the talks. What happens between the sessions matters no less.
Their job is to make the mix of talks and attendees as creativity-inducing as possible. Multiply this statement by a factor of several hundreds and you get the picture of the energy and vibe of TEDxUbud.
