Let’s Begin…
Artist and TED Fellow Aparna Rao reimagines the familiar in surprising, often humorous ways. With her collaborator Soren Pors, Rao creates high-tech art installations -- a typewriter that sends emails, a camera that tracks you through the room only to make you invisible on screen -- that put a playful spin on ordinary objects and interactions.
Many of Pors & Rao’s pieces are playful. Do you think “playful” is an adjective that many people would associate with the art that’s found in galleries and museums? Why or why not? What are some other adjectives that people might use?
