The value of trespass | Bradley Garrett | TEDxViennaSalon

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Urban exploration (UE) is the assertion of bodily freedom through the practice of trespass. Governments, corporations, and fellow citizens raise countless borders, and rarely do we discuss whether these borders are ethical, justified or even legal. Often, we're not even aware they exist or how they shape our lives. By hacking the city, UE democratizes urban space and questions the legitimacy of the lines that divide us.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
