Colouring the invisible, constructing community with art | Julia Vogl | TEDxLSHTM

Art has the power to influence our emotions, to inspire us, to move our imaginations. Yet, Julia Vogl believes it has the power to do much more. She believes public art can build bridges between strangers, that it can foster connections between people and places and that it can create a sense of community by creating platforms for sharing and interacting with one another. Using her own colorful, fun, interactive data visualizations, Julia demonstrates how her ‘social sculptures,’ make community. Julia Vogl’s social sculpture incorporate public engagement, architectural interventions and colour. She is resolved to create experiences and memories for the viewer, prompting discourse, while creating aesthetically rich works and communities. Inspired by political events, social behavior, and the community where the work is sited she aims to create works that reveal underlying cultural values. American and British her public works have been on both sides of the Atlantic. She is not afraid to be ambitious, with a record of scaling buildings and involving thousands of people. She has taken this on in unorthodox environments/communities taking on themes such as London’s Budget, Epilepsy, Language, Home, and Death. Winner of the Catlin Art Prize, Aestheica Prize and several Arts Council Grants she recently received a National Endowment for the Arts grant in the USA for her work in Tysons Virginia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
