why picasso wasn't an artist
TRANSCRIPT
WHAT?!Picasso
WASN’T an artist?!
welcome to the moodlab
change
Today I’d like to talk to you about:
…change
and what art has got to do with that…
how do we ‘do’ life?
(yep.. made by Picasso)
but before we can look at change
let’s assess where we’re at now
thejessjournals.blogspot.com
Let’s have a look atthe perfect metaphor for modern life:
from the photo series: “Times Squared”
Times Squarein
New York
every daywe are bombarded with images of
‘how life could be’
a.k.a. you’re not ‘there’… yet?
more stuff : more stress
consumismerism… buying more & more
STUFF
work harder
earn more
spend more
for… more stuff?more happiness?
the work cycle:
we’ve got it all… we’re richer than ever before
HAPPY?
we are living in world of abundace, with an attitude of lack…
technology
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
world population
It’s all on a scale unpresedented in human history
consequences:All that can be automated or outsourced…
ROUTINE is deadly
will be automated & outsourced
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR LIFE?
forget about going on as is…
for one: it’s unsustainable…blogs.telegraph.co.uk
change
re-assess
re-invent
so
YOU
you will need different skills for your future
you will have to:
push the reset button

how to do that?
by making a shift from the left to the right brain
ehm?
Left = replacableOffshoringOutsourcingAutomation
Right = what makes you unique and ‘you’

WE NEED TO
CHANGE &
GET OUT OF OUR MINDS
Sir Ken Robinson : writer of “Out of our Minds”
WHY? Flexibility of mind;
easier to adapt to change
CREATIVITY! INNOVATION! IMAGINATION
Economically / culturally / personallywww.stateofcreativity.com
change=
fear
what happens to lots of people
Let me show an example of….
we focus on thinking, facts, rationality; the left brain side of things…
All this thinking, being ruled by fear
pulls us out of ourselves
we become
phantomsempty shells
lost the steer of our own lives
inner world ≠ outer world
but:It’s ‘5 to 12’
meaning: if you want to cange,now would bea good the time to do it!
make the transit
how to get back in touch with what you really want?
