In recent years, Lin has focused on a reconsideration of landscape in a time of ecological tension and change.</p> <p>This new body of work engages the issue of our fragile connection to the environment in timely and poetic ways - De Young Museum</p> <p>Born in 1959 in Athens, Ohio, Maya Lin catapulted into the public eye when, as a senior at Yale University, she submitted the winning design in a national competition for a Vietnam Veterans Memorial to be built in Washington, D.C. She was trained as an artist and architect, and her sculptures, parks, monuments, and architectural projects are linked by her ideal of making a place for individuals within the landscape. Lin, a Chinese-American, came from a cultivated and artistic home. Her father was the dean of fine arts at Ohio University; her mother is a professor of literature at Ohio University. She draws inspiration for her sculpture and architecture from culturally diverse sources, including Japanese gardens, Hopewell Indian earthen mounds, and works by American earthworks artists of the 1960s and 1970s. Her most recognizable work, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, allows the names of those lost in combat to speak for themselves. Lin lives in New York and Colorado.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62249-maya-lin-on-the-vietnam-veterans-memorial">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62185-creatives-grow-better-in-the-south-west 2008-11-11T07:04:58Z rubberrepublic <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hgYwTELj-fs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hgYwTELj-fs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62185-creatives-grow-better-in-the-south-west"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/77443" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Behind the scenes tour of of an award-winning creative farm, juicing process and distribution in South West England.

Presidents don't make any decision on that, I was a governor 10 1/2 years [...] I actually dealth with education in a very intense way [...] Nobody ever asked me to design a curriculum for the science textbooks in our schools. Never. Why it continues to come up when I'm a candidate for the presidency, when a president has nothing to do with a curriculum of a school is beyond me. But I think if you're going to ask me that question, you must ask it of every other candidate and get their answers, but I've said for the record, and I'll say again. I believe in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [CROWD: Amen.] I've been unequivocal about that, and I'll remain to be faithful to that view. As I said, I wasn't there when he did it, so how he did it, I don't know. And I'm not going to try to dictate to the science curriculum how it's taught [...] What I believe is not what's going to be taught in the 50 different states, each who design their own curriculum. I believe that education is a state function, not a federal."</p> <p>LABEL: MH IA 12-4 (JJ#5) PLM-clipC</p> <p>To download the high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/192qnej2yf <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/2gl9d3lzvv</p> </div> <a href="/blog/60483-mike-huckabee-press-avail-12-4-07">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/59989-rives-a-3-minute-story-of-mixed-emoticons 2008-11-19T04:27:42Z TED Talks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eYyN_6GmzWI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eYyN_6GmzWI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/59989-rives-a-3-minute-story-of-mixed-emoticons"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/73937" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><a href="http://www.ted.com">www.ted.com</a> Rives -- star of the Bravo special "Ironic Iconic America" -- tells a typographical fairy tale that's short and bittersweet.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/59989-rives-a-3-minute-story-of-mixed-emoticons">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/59162-paul-maccready-nature-vs-humans-and-what-we-can-do-about 2008-11-19T04:27:42Z TED Talks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fu-IhoOsjkU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fu-IhoOsjkU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/59162-paul-maccready-nature-vs-humans-and-what-we-can-do-about"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/72615" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><a href="http://www.ted.com">www.ted.com</a> In 1998, aircraft designer Paul MacCready looks at a planet on which humans have utterly dominated nature, and talks about what we all can do to preserve nature's balance.

This event took place on September 29, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of "emptiness" in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic Games 1998. </p> <p>In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably molded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, alongside Naoto Fukasawa one of the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as "Re-Design: The Daily Products of the 21st Century" of 2000.</p> <p>Kenya Hara (born 1958) is a graphic designer, Professor at the Art University Musashino and communication advisor for MUJI.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/56368-authors-google-kenya-hara">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/56359-caleb-chung-come-play-with-pleo-the-dinosaur 2008-11-19T04:27:44Z TED Talks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BOba_zGoZq8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BOba_zGoZq8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/56359-caleb-chung-come-play-with-pleo-the-dinosaur"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/68540" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><a href="http://www.ted.com">www.ted.com</a> Pleo the robot dinosaur acts like a living pet -- exploring, cuddling, playing, reacting and learning.
