An exploration of how an education in the arts might challenge a culture of increasing standardization and intellectual conformity.

Justin Lincoln is an assistant professor of art at Whitman and an experimental video artist and educator. His work explores intersections between technology, education, art and life, and he says his artistic and teaching practices are "exploratory, experimental, and open systems." He attended California Institute of the Arts, Virginia Commonwealth University and Longwood College. His work has been shown in New York, Boston, Minneapolis and the U.K, and he has shown for four consecutive years at the prestigious Dallas VideoFest.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
