Columbus: Inside Out Project – a community art event – was part of the worldwide art initiative, Inside Out. As the brain child of artist/photographer JR, the recipient of the 2011 TED prize, the event called on participants to express themselves through a global art project.

In the spirit of JR’s work – as a French street artist, he uses a camera to show the world its true face by pasting photos of faces on massive canvases – portraits of volunteers at TEDx Columbus, held at COSI, were digitally captured by seven Columbus-based photographers. TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a series of global conferences started by the Sapling Foundation to disseminate “ideas worth spreading.”

TEDx events were created to further TED‘s mission, by offering local communities the opportunity to share dialogue in a setting similar to the larger conferences.

Cool stuff Larry. Helicopters one minute, faces the next… If you were a baseball hitter, you could bat from either side.
Way cool Larry. THKS for sharing images that are so refreshing in contrast to mainstream media. Stephen
