The power to tell the difference: visual literacy in a visual age | Don Levy | TEDxABQSalon

With the incredible power to create visually stunning and realistic environments through today’s technology, Don Levy believes that it is also essential for us to develop our skills in visual literacy. The line between fact and fiction can become blurred when faced with the visual landscapes observed in today’s movies--but the ability to tell the difference between reality and fantasy will continue to grow ever more important as our connection with the global community strengthens and technology continues to improve. After 17 years in senior management positions at Sony Pictures Digital, Don Levy now advises early stage companies, consults to the Entertainment Technology Center@USC, a research center and think tank within the School of Cinematic Arts, teaches entertainment marketing for Boston University's Los Angeles program, is a Thiel Fellowship Community member, and proudly serves on the advisory board of BLUE, the Global Ocean Film Festival and Summit. Don is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, regularly serving on its feature animation nominating committee, and The Television Academy’s Interactive Peer Group. Levy often speaks on the topics of innovation, digital creativity, visual communications and visual effects. 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
