About the speaker
David Delgado loves ideas that elevate our spirit and make us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. As a Visual Strategist with The Studio at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, David draws from his background in anthropology, advertising, and art/science learning to create experiences that activate our imagination and invite us to think more deeply about the questions that drive science and technology forward. A central theme to his work is the relationship between imagination and the desire to explore. Outside of JPL, David works as a independent artist and co-founder of the Museum of Awe, developed to leave visitors feeling the gift and privilege of being alive.
Favorite quotes from this talk See all
I feel like what's being lost in this world is the curiosity to find out and the personal intention to try to figure things out on your own.
Hope is built into our species. . . . Why can't we use that more?
There's a lot of things to be worried about these days, but if you focus on trying to create new things, your curiosity can outgrow your fear.
There are reasons to feel proud to be human. If we can make art about that, if we can focus on those things, if we can just think about it throughout our day, I think it will change us.
