How Artist JR Is Helping Connect Our Humanity Through Street Art | TED + GBS Present Torchbearers

Art has the power to change the way we view the world. It has the ability to bring us together and reflect our humanity on a grand scale. With his global art project, artist and TED Prize winner JR is turning the world inside out, in a big way. He’s using photography as a vehicle for change by, quite literally, putting a face to an issue. His team travels the world taking portraits of people and printing them on large-scale paper to then post in public spaces. His “Inside Out” public art project works with communities online and around the world to print and display their photos and stories along the streets where they live. His soaring installations shine a light on the unsung and give everyone the dignity they deserve. This Great Big Story was made in collaboration with TED.

JR WOMEN Rio Providencia (2008)

This already exists on Vimeo but i wanted to post it myself because it is such an important piece of work for me. I was commissioned, along with another director Dan Lowe, to make a series of short documentary films following the work of the French street artist JR. This was the final piece we made and arguably the most important. The people we met became such an integral part of how this was made. They welcomed us into their homes and lives for a month, became our camera assistants and taught us how to play football with flare... I will never forget them. This film encompasses alot of the camera language i had been developing in the early 2000's and over the time spent shooting JR's work. The main technique, now called hyperlapse, was utilised in each of the short documentary films and was born out of a series of early experiments which tried to make time-lapse more engaging and less boring for me to shoot....

Projection on the Bridge - Immersive Surfaces - As Above, So Below

www.light-harvest.com We set out to create a one of a kind public art experience, a projection mapping installation for multiple surfaces and multiple dimensions. Created by a hand picked team of artists with sponsorship by AT+T, Senovva, Light Harvest, and Leo Kuelbs. Unfolding like an animated modern Botticelli painting, flowing above our heads and spreading outwards in every direction, “As Above, So Below” immersed viewers in the architecture of the Manhattan Bridge. Audiences physically entered the story and explored the shimmering surface as it ignited with messages and symbols. This originally conceived video mapping project was a challenge offered to a group of artists from varying backgrounds. Led by digital arts pioneers Farkas Fulop and Ryan Uzilevsky, with post production support by Sina Taherkhani, the group created a one-of-a-kind experience. Adding to the fun were Artists Simon Anaya, John Parker, Richard Jochum and Johnny Moreno. The final projection utilized over 25,000 square feet of architectural canvas, and ultimately won "Best In Show" at the Dumbo Arts Festival. This production tested every technique in image-making conceivable in the short time frame, including stop motion animation, and the suspension of over twenty performance artists from fly wires at sixteen feet off the ground. Leo Kuelb is responsible for securing the site and bringing the original team together. He also put together a great international video art showcase between screenings of "As Above, So Below."
