    Esther Wojcicki | World Renowned Educationist |Talks of Unleashing Creativity To Raise Successful People
    May 24 2024
    Neil Koenig, Senior TV Series Producer and ideaXme interviewer in conversation with Esther Wojcicki, Chief Education Advisor at Knack and Chief Academic Advisor at Pressto.ai. Neil Koenig comments: What’s the most difficult job in the world? President, astronaut, neurosurgeon? No - according to the educator, journalist and author Esther Wojcicki, “it’s being a parent”. As she explains, “most young people don't realise it, but when you become a parent you're signing up for a lifetime of worry…you’re going to want to help your child forever”. But, she adds, the rewards of parenthood far outweigh any downsides: “there’s nothing more exciting than having a great family”. In this interview with me for ideaXme, Esther Wojcicki talks about her career in education; why she believes a more “hands-off” approach is better for kids than being a so-called “helicopter” parent; and some of her many other ventures, such as her work with the Creative Commons project. She also discusses her best-selling book “How to Raise Successful People”, in which she sets out how parents can not only help their children to achieve their full potential, but can also have a great time in the process.

    Art Moves Forward | ART on THE MART | MEGA Chicago Initiative Attracts Global Audiences and Artists
    May 3 2024

    Neil Koenig, Senior TV Series Producer and ideaXme board advisor interviews Cynthia Noble, Executive Director, Vornado Arts and ART on THE MART. 🎨 🌍 📣

    "Please note that the Poetry Foundation is no longer going ahead this Fall. “The Poetry Foundation collaboration is now going ahead in 2025, however the collaborating artists will be announced next year.” ART on THE MART.

    Neil comments:

    Think of public art, and sculptures or statues might first come to mind. But how about something bigger than two American football fields? That’s the size of ART on THE MART, one of the largest digital art projects in the world.The endeavour began in 2018, with digital art works being displayed on the facade of Chicago’s Merchandise Mart, at one time the biggest building in the world. For Cynthia Noble, the initiative’s founding executive director, it offers artists the chance to explore what might be described as “a new medium...it offers a great chance to experiment”. Amongst those who have contributed works so far are artists including Charles Atlas, Derrick Adams, Nick Cave, and many more. In this interview with me for ideaXme, Cynthia Noble talks about how she came to be involved with launching ART on THE MART, the role that public art can play in the life of cities everywhere, forthcoming works by artists such as Nora Turato and Yinka Illori, and how she sees the emerging field of “media architecture” developing in the future.

  • Anthony McCall Artist | Exploring SOLID-LIGHT

    Anthony McCall Artist | Exploring SOLID-LIGHT
    Sep 18 2023
    Neil Koenig, ideaXme Board Advisor and former Senior BBC Series Producer interviews Artist, Anthony McCall. Neil comments: In the face of today’s flood of information from the internet and social media, it can sometimes take courage to retain belief in the strength of self-generated ideas. But for some, it can pay off. As the British artist Anthony McCall explains, “there's a certain moment in any artist’s life where your own ideas become more vivid than anyone else’s, for yourself”. Anthony McCall is certainly no stranger to vivid ideas. His ground-breaking piece from 1973, “Line Describing a Cone”, has had a big impact not only on his own output, but also on the work of many other artists. After studying graphic design at Ravensbourne college in the 1960s, Anthony McCall moved to New York in the early 1970s, and he has lived and worked there ever since. He is perhaps best known for his “solid light” installations. His work has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions at institutions all over the world and can be found in the collections of many major museums. In this interview with me for ideaXme, Anthony McCall talks about how he first became interested in becoming an artist, how he approaches the process of creating his works, and about his future plans, including an upcoming show at Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, and a major exhibition which will be celebrating his work and his influence on other artists, at Tate Modern in London in summer 2024. ANTHONY McCALL BIOGRAPHY: McCall, was born St Paul’s Cray, England, in 1946. He lives and works in Manhattan. McCall is known for his ‘solid-light’ installations, a series that he began in 1973 with “Line Describing a Cone,” in which a volumetric form composed of projected light slowly evolves in three-dimensional space.
