TEDxBerkeley 2022: Kaleidoscope

The kaleidoscope, a delightfully simple object, offers us a new lens to the world. Take a peek through this assortment of mirrors, shapes, and colors, and your ordinary surroundings are cast in a light that seems nothing short of extraordinary.

Shift the lens, just a bit. A whole new spectrum leaps to life as patterns project themselves in mesmerizing constellations. As everything refracts and revolves around us, we reflect on how the world is - and, more importantly, what it could become.

At TEDxBerkeley 2022, we invite you to bring novel perspectives to light and reimagine the most pressing issues of our time. How can artificial intelligence invert the way we see the world? What happens when we reimagine sustainability? From grassroots activism to equitable health and everything in between, we will explore society’s greatest challenges and shape solutions through new lenses. Just as a kaleidoscope transforms simple beads and mirrors into something beautiful, we will combine each unique perspective into a mosaic of innovative thought.
