Hole in the wall
Lift has many side effects, most of them unknown to the people who organize the event as they happen after the conference. Companies have been launched, people have been found a new job - or enough energy to launch their own project, couples have met, a Chinese artist even raised funds for his Beijing media festival. There are many stories typical of a large scale gathering of dynamic, creative, and interesting people. Sometimes one of these stories reaches me by chance, and tonight I got a mail from Philippe Tarbouriech, Lifter since 2007 who describes himself as a “photographer with a technology bias, or a technologist with a passion for photography”.
Philippe was so impressed by Sugata Mitra’s presentation of his hole in the wall project (which received more than 25′000 views on liftconference.com and ended up being published on TED talks) that he flew to India to shoot street kids experimenting with self-education. See the album here, and more (amazing) shots from Philippe on his Flickr account.
