Author Video Description
Un viaggio tra realtà e illusione, ispirato alla creatività e alla potenza simbolica del linguaggio che attraverso il nominare dà forma al mondo e alla realtà. Scopri come le illusioni possono diventare strumenti di conoscenza e creatività, persino per affrontare problemi concreti e possono diventare stimolo e guida nel viaggio che porta al compimento di noi stessi. Un racconto di magia, design e riflessione sul potere delle nostre visioni (e illusioni) interiori. Mauro Curcuruto è siciliano, vive nei pressi di Taormina e lavora da remoto come Design director in Subsense, una piccola e prestigiosa design firm con sede a Milano.
Niente lauree, si è formato sul campo, tra inciampi e capitomboli, tutti di rango. Quel po’ che sa lo deve a qualche libro e ai maestri incontrati lungo la via. Poi, per darsi un tono, ha conseguito il Master in UX Design presso Talent Garden (MI). Ha una modesta formazione umanistica, un’indole da buono, è curioso e pienissimo di dubbi.
Legge poesia e di rado la scrive. Ha pubblicato la silloge “L’esatta vertigine” (A&B editore). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
