TED îl vizitează pe Tom Shannon la studioul său din Manhattan pentru a privi îndeaproape arta lui de inspirație științifică. Conversația revelatoare și personală cu John Hockenberry arată cum interacționează în viața și meșteșugul artistului forțele naturii și tremurăturile unui început de Parkinson.

Tom Shannon's mixed-material sculpture seems to levitate -- often it actually does -- thanks to powerful magnets and clever arrangements of suspension wire. He designed the TED Prize trophy. Full bio »

Journalist and commentator John Hockenberry has reported from all over the world in virtually every medium. He's the author of "Moving Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs and Declarations of Independence." Full bio »
