There are no
mistakes on the
bandstand
Stefon
Harris
at TED |
In
November
2011
jazz
musician
Stefon
Harris
was one
of the
presenters
at the
prestigious
TED
conference.
He
explored
the
proposition
"There
are no
mistakes
on the
bandstand".
What is
a
mistake?
By
talking
through
examples
with his
improvisational
Jazz
quartet,
he walks
us to a
profound
truth:
many
actions
are
perceived
as
mistakes
only
because
we don't
react to
them
appropriately. |

Non-Newtonian
Fluid on
a
Speaker
Cone
Corn
starch
is a
shear
thickening
non-Newtonian
fluid
meaning
that it
becomes
more
viscous
when it
is
disturbed.
When
it's hit
repeatedly
by
something
like a
speaker
cone it
forms
weird
tendrils.
The
video
was shot
at 30
fps and
the
speaker
cone was
vibrating
at 30 Hz
which is
why
there is
no blur.
This is
the
original
video
with the
actual
sound of
the
speaker.
