Shhh … it’s time for Secret Voices, the 10th session of TED2013. Get ready to hear stories of the forgotten, marginalized, stigmatized and hidden. Our first speaker while make quite an entrance while the last will give a stirring finish, describing the voices in her head. In between, thoughts on inter-species communication.<\/p>\n
In this session:<\/p>\n
Beijing-based artist Liu Bolin<\/a> silently comments on modern sociopolitical conditions by dissolving into his art.<\/p>\n Diana Reiss<\/a> studies cognition in animals and the evolution of intelligence. She and her colleagues demonstrated that bottlenose dolphins (and Asian elephants) can recognize themselves in the mirror.<\/p>\n Musician Peter Gabriel<\/a> is the co-founder of WITNESS, which distributes digital cameras to empower people to document human-rights abuses. A founder of the band Genesis, Gabriel is now a solo artist and record mogul, championing world music and innovation.<\/p>\n As Director of MIT\u2019s Center for Bits and Atoms, Neil Gershenfeld<\/a> explores the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds.<\/p>\n Computer scientist Vint Cerf<\/a> helped lay the foundations for the internet as we know it.<\/p>\n Shane Koyczan<\/a> makes spoken-word poetry and music. His poem “To This Day” is a powerful story of bullying and survival, illustrated by animators from around the world.<\/p>\n Lakshmi Pratury<\/a> is the host of The INK Conference and was the co-host of TEDIndia 2009.<\/p>\n Born in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee<\/a> left for China in 1997.
