Evan Grant: Making sound visible through cymatics. Douglas Adams: Parrots, the universe and everything. TEDxSF - A Curation Of People And Ideas... Posted by Tom Foremski - June 5, 2011 I've been to several TEDxSF events but the most recent one felt like a breakthrough event because of the mix of people and talks, plus the new venue.
The event was sold out with about 650 tickets for the Yerba Buena location, a larger theater than the Academy of Sciences, where it used to be held. The mix of people was eclectic as always. There were at least two or three talks where I wished for the return of the old Vaudeville stage hook, or maybe a remote controlled trapdoor. Most of the rest of the talks were interesting, intriguing, and some were even brilliant. But it was a packed afternoon, from noon to 6pm, a bit too long. TED talks are a form of modern theater within an old school format in that it's a one-way stage. However, the formulaic format of TED talks is pretty good, so maybe the organizers know not to mess with what works. Among the standout performances: - Dr. Simon Mainwaring. Dave Kim with his violin and box of tricks was excellent.
