Indeed - how they did their talk is how they do the videos: this one step more than necessary for purely functional reasons. So instead of showing the videos, they play the soundtrack live in front of an audience, which is the most classic one-take one can imagine.

The most underrated band ever

okay, I am 53 and was diagnosed with ADHD, finally, at age 51. Better late than never, right? Suddenly my whole life made a whole lot more sense. What he describes about playing visual games is totally what I've done my whole life. I'm always noticing things and playing visual games. I'm an artist so I really relate to this whole presentation!

@JoshuaTootell

Жыл бұрын

I have always been the same way. Never diagnosed, I just don't care. But I also completely lack creativity, so I missed that boat.

One other thing that impresses me is that they're capable of playing each other's instruments. I had enough difficulty learning the piano.

Beyond creative that i feel like crying for real. They are so passionate about arts and visuals!!! Wow! INFINITE RESPECT FOR THESE GUYS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED

The One Moment video is just mind-bogglingly amazing to watch!! I love hearing about their creative process. And as someone already commented, seeing Damian's bedroom as a teenager, it all makes so much sense that his brain works in beautiful, crazy, creative ways! If he wasn't doing what he *is* doing, he might be an evil genius (think Gru from 'Despicable Me') bent on world domination! LOL!

For me their music and videos are something gorgeous, something that inspire me so much I just want to do really great things immediately. There is no only about beautiful picture of the video but deep sense of every song. Just thank you, guys, I hope someday I will make my ideas come real!

i wish my degree had just been watching this video, it literally tells you how to design in a much more accurate and productive way than the methods we were taught. and is way closer to the way i create solutions and fix problems. the idea is never planned in a lovely strict process rather stumbled upon and discovered... ive never thought of it this way before but it really does sum up how ive always gone about designing anything. always been a fan of the band and this ted talk confirms why i'll continue to be

Love this, they show me how to un-conform again. I've worked in corporate America for 12 years and feel the creativity slowly sucked out of me. My bedroom was so similar to his! What's more, even greater amounts of visual oddities covering every wall, oh and lots of glow-in-dark puff paints on the ceiling as well 😂😂 Thank you for keeping the cogs inspired!!!

That save at 16:40 though. I thought that he'd mess up for sure after mixing up the 2nd and 3rd line of the chorus but he played it off well with a little laugh.

Even the presentation was different , unique and amazing. And using the instrument to make sound effect also was amazing, you are brilliant guys!

Even, their presentation was very creative ... awesome

I wish that I had the same thinking that he has. The creativity as a kid never left him.

anyone else low key think Damien is a genius?

one of my favourite TED talks ever...watched this live in a cinema in the UK and it was so inspiring!

I was always a fan of this band, but when I saw this video two ish years ago it solidified my love. This performance of the one moment blows my mind

He looks so happy to perform and i really like that

this is one of the best ted talk, i ever seen.....marvelous

All I saw the words Ok Go in my notifications and was like I have to watch this video

one of my FAVORITE groups - - music and SCIENCE - together

Those videos are great enough in their own right, but the fact that they can play in time to them live is just the cherry on top

He seems humble in spite of the genius video ideas that they've created.... This is TRUE ART! I LOVE these guys!

Damian kulash = creative superman

First saw OK Go half a decade ago and haven't been regretted nor disappointed the entire time. Finally the question inside my mind magically reached here on TED. Half a decade... worth the wait :)

Dude....I do the same exact thing...I thought I was the only one. I've known about this band for about a year now and never watched this video until now. Woah

And this is the coolest presentation ever.

And now I love this band even more.

Wow, I like how they made their lecture presentation... as uniquely choreograph like their music video!!!

Amazing. New lesson added. Planning is real important for a creative design.

They're freaking amazing! Every single music video of them are mind blowing, so glad to see them on Ted, which just happens to be one of the most amazing talk organisation in my opinion.

SO GLAD OTHER PEOPLE DO THAT WITH OBJECTS!!

This is one of the first videos I found that I'm frustrated I can't like more than once. Not only is it my favorite band, AND a TED talk, AND a great message... MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS!

Just another reason why these gentlemen are my favourite band

Amazing! These guys are simply brilliant!!

this is hope for humanity

I love this band for so many reasons besides their incredible music

They have synchronicity. A band singer whom acknowledges his bandmates and let's them have their turn; wish I could see that here in the USA.

This is so amazingly interesting. I love finding out what makes this band tick. I’ve followed them since they came out and they’re so cool. He is brilliant. I’m curious if the rest of the band gets frustrated or overwhelmed with his ideas at all, or are they are all similarly minded. ❤ Thank you for this.
