The Mirrorbox: The Story of How Art Became Science: Megan Daalder at TEDxGabriolaIsland

Megan May Daalder is a self-styled guinea pig using performance, video, and scientific curiosity to investigate life on Earth. Her main interest is in probing the human brain and body for inspiration into future possibilities.

In this fascinating talk, Daalder, an artist interested in empathy, discusses the development of the Mirrorbox. She describe the transition of this very special object, which can be seen on stage, from art to science. Daalder questions how her artistic ambition squares with the reality of the world we live in and whether a piece of art can truly become an asset to society.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
