Art can fail | JR

The role of an artist is to be ever-changing, with room to fail, while advertising leaves no room for failure. In this passionate talk street artist and TED Prize winner JR discloses why he chooses not to let brands fund his international art projects. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by JR . Filmed at TED2014. NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
