In honor of TED, I'm going to highlight a few of the participants that have influenced me in the past few years. I'll start with:
John Maeda
Pure designer/artist. When I create art or design something, I'm using tools that were designed by someone else. I know a little scripting, but even scripts within compositing and 3D programs are limited in the same way GUI interaction is limited. It all operates in a world built by other people. Similar to me playing in a sandbox. I may be able to build the coolest sand castle ever, but I'm limited to the walls of the sandbox and the sand that is in the sandbox.
John Maeda and his crew at MIT create sandboxes and the sand that goes in them. THEN they play.
It's the purest form of next-gen creativity.
