Theme: Ideas Serving Humanity

The tag-line for the first TEDx SEOUL event, Ideas Serving Humanity is originated from 홍익인간(弘益人間), which can be roughly translated into “widely serve humanity.” It denotes virtue of serving people and creating value for the greater good. It is voluntary. It is the art of giving attention, in opposition to crying out for attention. It is about proactive love, unconditional giving and recognizing the beauty around us, which can only be created when one realizes one’s own inner abundance.
It is a core part of Korean identity that goes back 4,500 years. However it has been forgotten through the tragic events of the 20th Century. The collective trauma of colonial rule, devastating war and poverty still lingers. The connotation it holds now for Koreans is reduced to a lost ideal and it is the time to recover its meaning.
So for Korea, it is about renewing its true identity and realizing who we really are. It shares TED’s principle of spreading the idea that inspires people to realize one’s own inner potential and creativity in the service of humanity. 홍익인간 is the past that can project Korea into the future of rich individual creativity and greater global responsibility.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDxSeoul, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSeoul event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

동네건축가, 황두진 건축사무사 대표

건축가 황두진은 한옥으로 더 잘 알려져 있다. <한옥이 돌아왔다>, <당신의 서울은 어디입니까> 등 다양한 집필 활동을 해온 건축가이기도 하다. 사실 우리 건축가들 중에서 개인 설계사무소를 운영하며 자기 건축을 꾸준히 시도하는 건축가들은 많지 않다. 현실적으로 배고픈 길이기 때문이다. 소규모 아뜰리에를 운영하는 건축가 중에서도 전통 건축으로 분류되는 한옥의 원형에 관심을 갖는 건축가는 더욱 흔치 않다. 황두진은 국내 건축가들 중 드물게 한옥을 문화재가 아닌 현대 건축의 테마로 본다. 정지된 전통이 아닌, 현대 건축의 하나로 구현하고 진화시키기 위해 노력하고 있다.

국악인, <아마도 이자람 밴드> 보컬리스트

이자람은 전통 국악인이다. 어렸을 때 ‘예솔이’란 이름으로 춘향가를 완창했다. 서울대와 동대학원에서도 국악을 공부했다. 그러나 그의 판소리는 오늘에도 살아서 펄떡이는 것이 되고자 한다. 그의 주요 공연작인 사천가는 브레히트의 ‘사천의 선인’을 각색한 것으로 오늘날의 세태와 말씨를 반영하고 있다. 사천가에는 촛불집회 이야기도 나오고 소믈리에도 등장한다. 그는 “살사리듬이 필요하면 쓴다.”라고 말한다. 과거의 판소리꾼은 그 리듬을 몰랐지만, 오늘날에는 알기 때문이란다. 그는 진정한 판소리꾼으로 남고 싶어 한다. 그 시대의 아픔을 담아내고 그 시대 사람들을 위로하는 이야기를 전달하는 그런 소리꾼으로.

인간의 얼굴을 한 병원 겸 카페 <제너럴닥터>의 일반의

제네럴닥터의 두 의사 김승범, 정햬진은 모두 “일반의(General Doctor 또는 General Physician)”이다. 이들이 늘 지향하는 핵심 키워드는 "의료""인간""문화" 이다. 지금까지 의료는 가장 비인간적인 방향으로 발전해 왔고 모두 의료가 자동화되고 더욱 분석적이 될 것으로 상상하고 있다. 그러나 의료는 "인간이 인간을 위해 무언가 해 주는 것"으로 그 정의가 확대되어야 하고, 그러기에 의료는 세상의 그 무엇보다 가장 "인간적"이어야 한다. 제너럴닥터의 실험은 여러 의미가 있겠지만, 가장 의사-환자 관계가 안 좋고 뒤틀린 의료 환경인 한국에서 가장 극단적으로 인간적인 의료 환경을 만들어 보려는 시도라고 하는 측면에서의 의미가 있다.

What is TED?

TED is an annual event where some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. “TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it “the ultimate brain spa” and “a four-day journey into the future.” The diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists — is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.

It comes from human beings.The infrastructure that encompasses all human energies will pave the way to the fundamental change that speeds up a new era of innovation. Real-time webs and social web technologies represent what we know for web 3.0 and they are a great infrastructure where human energy will manifest in a near future. Change is already happening. Convergence is happening from the perspective of the users and more powerful services are being demanded. The mindsets that once predominated product development, services, and organization management are changing. And more importantly, the values of firms and organizations are changing. Profit seeking structured behaviors are being designed for bigger values. And in core of those changes are humans. Many new and unimagined phenomena are now happening in the Korean society as human energy is exploding in different ways. And we will feel that vibrant and lively energy."
	Dongwon Hong » Learn more... Hangul typhographer and book designer "Many designers view their work from a global perspective. I do likewise. I have been communicating the potential of Hangul (Korean type) design through my work with Korean typography design, and so Hangul is obviously my obsession. Hangul has weak typographic foundations, and faces many difficulties since typographic methodology was imported and thus more tuned to western type. Still, Hangul has the potential to take its place as a globally recognized type if we can increase the quality of its geometry and communicability. There has been an active movement among designers who work on typography to rediscover its roots. There are geometric refinement stages that type goes through. Hangul design is getting there. Type is becoming more visual and increasingly meaning is being communicated visually. A key feature of Hangul is its precision. Each Hangul character has its unique phonetic attribute. Hangul can even express things that we can't pronounce. We can create symbols for sounds that don't exist and haven't been pronounced. The shapes are derived from the shape the tongue makes as it is pronounced, so visualizing it is easy. Hangul has a lot of potential."
	Chi-bok Song » Learn more... Copywriter and campaign manager for the ex-president Roh Moo-Hyun "If you want to communicate to change, you must remember the subject doesn't contradict itself. You then have to change the angle. When you view a subject from many different angles you form a deeper appreciation. The subject itself gets to see aspects that it was unaware of. When that happens, you start to experience attraction to that subject. If you want to move a lot of people in a short space of time, you must have attraction. A new test forms out of attraction. For example OB Beer was the textbook among beers. They had an absolute dominance in the market. As we were working through the ad campaign for Hite Beer, we could only achieve number one if we could create a new test with a new truth. The new truth lay in the 'water'. Does the quality of the water affect the taste of the beer? This is an new aspect of beer that no-one had considered until then. 'Beer made from 100% natural groundwater'. This propelled Hite Beer number one in just 3 month. The presidential campaign of Roh Moo-Hyun had a similar situation. At that time the issue revolved around, 'who is presidential material?' I changed that to 'who can best serve the people?' We formulated 'The people's president' and 'Think twice and you see Roh Moo-Hyun'. Trying to view the subject from another angle, trying to make attraction, these are attitudes I consider to be at the heart of the creative."

Design educator at Hong-Ik University and former lead designer at Apple "Every time I conduct a student project or professional workshop on design thinking and design process, especially with participants with non-design backgrounds, the results in both the outcomes and the human potential are like magic: it simply works every time and is extremely exciting and inspiring for everyone, especially for myself. I believe that design is a natural, innate human need, ability and activity that we must draw out, foster and develop in everyone for designing a better world. The current trends of comprehensive design thinking, participatory design and the democratization of design are right on target. It is now the task of design educators and trained designers to facilitate and coach that revolution with educational design experiences for all ages."

Journalist and CEO of the citizen-reporting generated OhMyNews.com "We would like to announce a break from 20th Century journalism which has be built by career journalists working for traditional news media. The current news culture only works one-way. It is monopolistic and exclusive. Now every citizen can participate in the creation of news, and we seek to create a new news culture with new news for a new world. This is especially meaningful for Korea, where the news has historically been dominated by conservative voices, now we can create a news media playing field with balanced representation from both the conservative and progressive camps."
	Chang W Kim » Learn more... Blogger of web trend in Asia and founder of TatterTools "Ten years ago, Korea was an innovation powerhouse in the web industry -- The country was filled with entrepreneurship and was churning out some of the most interesting web services before any other countries did. But these days Korea-born innovations are hard to come by. On the contrary, some worry that Korea might be becoming "internet Galapagos", inflicted by walled gardens and lack of entrepreneurial spirits. What happened, and what should Korea do? Are there any signs of hope we can find?"
	Seungbum Kim and Haejin Jung » Learn more... General physician leading a more intimate patient-focused care practice "It is hard to transform the state of the medical examination in Korean society without reforming the way that society understands the medical profession, its culture and its underlying perceptions. One needs to provide an alternative that takes all these factors into account. The term "humane medical examination" may sound a little fuzzy, but we are working through these issues on a day-to-day basis. In our General Doctor practice we show our view of the whole situation. In our practice, we strive to establish an alternative to existing patient-doctor relationship, one that is founded on intimacy and communication. We define our own 'medical practice design', and we base our choices on its principles. In order to create the most humane patient experience through design, we try to restructure the environment, tools and communication in a consistent and meaningful way. The General Doctor Cafe tries to tackle the environment and communication design aspects. In order to bring the medical care environment into alignment, one can question the elements that compose the space we called the hospital by making it look like a cafe or a normal home. A new design in the way that the doctor and patient communicates is a natural by-product of changing the environment. Other considerations may include patients recording their own notes about their conditions, appointment system allocating a full 30 minutes per patient, and even having a pet cat. These things are all a part of our exploration, as is our idea for a stethoscope doll. We took apart the elements and activities that compose a stethoscope experience, and as we were rethinking how to make it more patient-centric, we discovered a simple doll that could transform an cold activity that scare kids into a game that actually involved the kids."

Since then he has been awarded countless major prizes proving the potential of Koreans on the global magic scene. Korean magic has since enjoyed a boom growing from about 20 professionals when Lee started to to about over 2000 today. In Korea he also established a creative new performance form called Magic Concert partnering with media artists to break out of the "performing tricks" stereotype to challenge the boundaries of artistic expression. He has already made numerous contributions to the Korean magic history and continues to magically challenge the impossible.
	Dujin Hwang » Learn more... Cross cultural Architect of modern-traditional Korean residential architecture “[For Korea] 20th century saw a severe battle of self-denial. It jumped from being deeply embedded in Confucian tradition to a country whole-heartedly embracing western modernization, which is quite rare situation. As we look back, this entailed a fair share of loss, but it also required great courage and determination, and through it, Korea emerged as a strong member of the global community. However we are still learning how to reconcile our history and present. Contemporary Koreans can be grouped into 3 types: 19th century-type who those who dwell in the past, 20th century-type who live without knowing what is truly ours, and 21st century-type, which includes traditional musicians such as Lee Ja-Ram, who embrace both the past and the present. This struggle is something many Asian countries have in common. Given Korea’s rapid westernization, I choose to focus on this unique situation and opportunities it affords to experiment towards a new formulation of these conditions. I try to explore ways to effectively bring these conditions together. My works have been modern as in Chunwondang and traditional as illustrated in my book “The Return of Hanok”. But these all resulted from the same process. In the past century, you could deny history, but it cannot be denied any longer. What should be of primary concern for 21st Century Koreans? It is here I seek my focus my work.”
	Jaram Lee » Learn more... Performer of traditional Korean music, and lead vocals for Amado Leejaram Band "Pansori is a performance art. You cannot simply classify it as music. The main strength of pansori lies in its ability to playfully open up and unpacks stories of how one view their generation. Only when it functions in this way can it be fully called pansori. Today's pansori has faithfully maintained its legacy under the name of 'tradition', however in order to 'preserve' it, it has been established as a form, at the detriment of losing its storytelling function. In the past, pansori functioned to give release to those who heard it, today's pansori needs to be a sounding board for the 'here and now'. I do not want pansori to become marginalized but become a popular culture that continues to be loved. However I do not want contemporary pansori to be contaminated or confused with fusion. There are those who half-nakedly perform half-baked works under the guise of fusion. I consistently get calls for fusion performances. Each year I find myself in a continued battle against bias, ignorance and money. The way I want pansori to survive is different. Pansori needs to break free from the grip of formalism and I have tried earnestly to retain its ability to communicate, which I believe is being true to its tradition. I want to focus on pansori's storytelling ability. The importance of song or performance lies in its ability to comfort pain and uplift in the midst of people coming together. Pansori is a music, a performance, a gaze and a story that heals."
