TED: Phil Hansen: The Art of the Imperfect

August 1, 2012 By Wendy Campbell

Artist Phil Hansen uses unique media (his torso, x-rays, a tricycle…) to create his version of meta-art, videos that document the creation process – showing that art is action, not just result. Phil is a finalist to give a full TED talk at the TED Conference 2013, so if you like this, please rate it on TED Talent Search.

You can also check out Phil at PhilInTheWhat.com and PhilInTheCircle.com.

She shares three stories inspired by portraits, including the one that led to her best-selling novel “Girl With a Pearl Earring.”
