Minimalism

When less is enough, less is incredibly impressive.

This group of musicians (Wiktoria Chrobak-Mielec, Rafał Tyliba and Maciej Hałoń) study at the Academy of Music in Cracow under the instruction of Jan Pilch and Stanisław Welanyk. The ensemble has been together since 2007.

TEDxKrakow

In late October, a small dream of mine was realized when I was accepted as a guest to TEDxKraków, the 2nd annual local TEDx event held at the Manggha Centre for Japanese Art and Technology -- a magnificent example of architecture that sits as a jewel of design overlooking the Wisła river and Wawel Castle.   The event’s focus was “The New Normal” -- what the world will look like after these few years of various ongoing geopolitical, financial and environmental crises. Attendence equalled about 200 guests to see the 12 speakers (six English and five Polish, with live interpretation for all) and four musical performances over the course of one day. The speakers were very well chosen, with a mixture of local, regional and humanity-wide focus, on varying topics of interest that all moved the social conversation forward.

  These TEDxKrakow Talks stood out for me:

  Ramon Tancinco - Kraków: Europe's Silicon Valley? Why not!  I was captivated to learn the facts of what made Silicon Valley, was fascinated by the comparison to Kraków and emboldened in my work to be a part of the opportunity here. TEDx:  Former US Army Captain and now Head of Strategy Business Development for Central and Eastern Europe for Cisco Systems, Ramon is deeply convinced of Kraków's potential to be a European Silicon Valley. Passionate about technology, entrepreneurship and Kraków, his energy and enthusiasm have helped bring public institutions, businesses and individuals together to work towards creating a more entrepreneur-friendly environment. Edward Lucas - Eastern Europe: An outdated concept For those of us who don’t know much about Poland and the surrounding areas. This is probably the singularly most educating talk on the area. Highly recommeneded. TEDx:  Edward Lucas is The Economist’s Central and Eastern European correspondent and is deputy editor of the International section. Over his career as a journalist, he has covered Russia and Central and Eastern Europe and has unique insights into the political and economic climate of the former communist countries and how developments there will affect the West. Foreign Policy magazine named him in their Who's Who of Foreign Policy Tweeters in Europe. Edward's talk was about Eastern Europe -- a concept that never really existed, doesn't exist now and certainly shouldn't exist in our "new normal" and his aim is to persuade everyone to stop using it. Srdja Popovic: How to topple a dictator Excellent review of new tactics for public uprisings in this new world. Note: This speaker recently was featured on the main TED.com website, and has been viewed over a hundred thousand times! TEDx:  Srdja Popovic led the nonviolent movement that took down Milosevic in Serbia in 2000. Here, he lays out the plans, skills and tools each social movement needs -- from nonviolent tactics to a sense of humor. Cecylia Malik - The real butterfly effect This woman is an amazing example of the change that one person with a passion can achieve. Cecylia discovered that a building development was going to be built right up to the edge of a magnificaent outdoor sanctuary on the outskirts of Krakow. (Some of you might remember us swimming at this abandoned rock quarry last summer, see our post here.) Watch as hundreds and hundreds of peaceful protesters descend on the area dressed as blue butterflies, which her group the Modraszek Collective was named after. Very inspiring! TEDx:  Cecylia galvanised the citizens of Kraków and started a beautifully civilised dialogue with the city authorities on the subject of our public spaces, achieving what years of letter-writing and complying with formal process couldn't. Amadrums Trio - Minimalist percussion I thoroughly enjoyed this trio and found them to be an exceptional mash-up of minimalism meets Stomp! TEDx:  The Amadrums Trio made up of musicians studying at the Academy of Music in Kraków. The group deliberately chooses pieces that reflect an eclectic mixture of styles and fresh inspirations and has a fine repertoire that includes contemporary percussion and compositions with elements of musical theatre, electronics and jazz. Trine Hahnemann - The Nordic Diet Lunch was provided by Trine’s crew, producing the most incredible tasting finger food delights! Her talk is on how a part of a culture is preserved in its food, with an encouragement to eat local and fresh foods. See how its done right from this expert caterer who’s toured with the Rolling Stones among others. (Check out some recipes here.) TEDx:  Trine has worked as a chef for over 20 years and has cooked thousands of meals, working with farmers, scientists, architects and people all over the world to improve food culture. Her dream is that everybody in the world gets one decent meal a day. Her books have introduced many people to the New Nordic movement that has come to influence so many of the world's top kitchens over the last few years. New Nordic is about cooking, connecting with the landscape and the farmer and growing our food and eating in a sustainable way. What's surprising is that it doesn't come from France or Italy, the cradles of classical cuisine, but from the cold northern Scandinavian countries. Like Poland, these are countries where the food culture is old, but the restaurant culture is new. Wojtek Ozimek - Life is a game Fascinating to see how gaming is being brought into the real world -- especially like with his example about how to decrease speeding. TEDx:  Wojtek is the founder of one2tribe, a game design company whose products have been played by million of people and not just for fun -- one2tribe also works in advergaming and gamification, mainly for the telecom and financial services industries. Wojciech believes that the gamification (pronounced: GAME-ification), by which we mean the transfer of ideas that have been tried and tested in the world of electronic entertainment (e.g. acquiring points, levels and achievements) will only become more pervasive in our everyday lives and the real world. But what is the real world? Where does this trend of gamification come from? How can games help business build a better relationship with customers? And can we even map our lives onto a game? Agata Wilam - Poland's only university for children So wonderful to see someone going to such extraordinary lengths to expand the minds of children. TEDx: Agata Wilam is the cofounder of the first university for kids in Poland. It invites scientists, artists, politicians and other leaders to give lectures and workshops for children. Since it was founded in 2007, the Children's University has prepared activities on a vast array of subjects for over 10,000 children. What do children and scientists have in common? The answer is: their curiosity knows no limits. The Children's University brings together these two groups of explorers with surprising results. The young ones listen carefully and ask questions, which the adults answer truthfully. Borders are pushed further and further, imagination expands and the children gain the courage to explore the world around them.
