Look Up
The YouTube short film ‘Look Up’ went viral on the internet since it was first published on April 25th 2014, so far gaining around 32 million views online.
Why?
Because the film explores the artefact of a mobile phone.
The films makes an implication that we are all slaves to our own creative innovations. That, we’ve become zombies obsess with technology and social media and the way it connects us people. The film also explores how we are anti-social when we are surrounded by people, which may lead to the loneliness we feel deep within while we are connecting with other people.

TED Talk: Bring On The Learning Evolution
Bring on the learning evolution
The speaker of the TED Talk guest is Ken Robinson and he explores the learning evolution in education, arguing that we are living organic lives. Robinson suggests that schools and colleges must cultivate students creativity for the future.
Robison discusses the idea of linearity in his speech, making the statement the following statement:
‘Life is not linear , its organic. We create our lives semiotically as we explore our talents in relations to the circumstances they help to create for us. But you know, we are become more obsess with this linear narrative, and probably the pinnacle of this is getting you an education at college.’
We know the routine of our daily lives, that the rhythm of our lives are not dictated by linearity and expectations but by spontaneity.
Robinson’s statement somewhat relates to our Korsakow films, that is, that we don’t know what we are going to watch or when we do. What we do know however, is the emerging pattern of the evolution of a Korsakow film as we actively immerse ourselves by watching it. For example, if a Korkakow film is based on the pattern of ‘lists’, as we engage ourselves in the interactive documentary, we can begin to get a sense of what the filmmaker is trying to show us. Such as, if the Korsakow film was about a list of farm animals, viewers will be watching clip-lets of animals feeding in barnyards and playing in mud, etc.
This TED Talk was incredibly engaging to watch. Robinson speaks plain English, making the video more understandable, sometimes, I do have trouble understanding what speakers are talking about. His charisma enthrals his audience, making them laugh with his honest small jokes, maybe it’s mainly because his pure British accent. To me, it’s all about his charm that makes the video effortless to watch.
So far, the video has been watched by a total of around 4,853,000 people from around the world.

Lately, I’ve been a bit consumed by TED Talk videos. Recently, I’ve watched a TED Talk with James Cameron as the speaker, he talks about his life experience both as a scuba diver and a filmmaker. As a child growing up, he loved exploring the great outdoors and drawing up strange creatures inspired by all the science fiction books he read. He had aspired to be a scuba diver as a teenager, but managed to be a world-renown director as an adult. His curiosities with the ocean have always fascinated Cameron. Using his wild imagination, he fantasized and managed to create and built his films through his vision, this is evident in Cameron’s blockbuster films such as Avatar and Titanic. To Cameron, science fiction is a form of escape. Cameron makes the impossible, possible. The thrill of constructing an entirely whole new world, a world that no one has seen before, pushing the limits of human creativity.
Just like Korsakow, we are constantly pushing ourselves to be creative on the simple platform. Cameron notes that anyone can create anything out of their imagination, it’s all about how we go forth and see whether we use our imagination as a stepping stone to build something. The possibilities of lists in Korsarkow may be poetic and infinite, it’s about how comply with patterns and narratives that makes our K-Films interesting and create purpose.
