Today I watched a TED talks by Adam Savage titled “My obsession with objects and the stories they tell”. I was quite surprised by the outcome of the video as it wasn’t what I expected and proves that people can be obsessed with objects and react to that in various ways. Adam spoke about his obsession with the Dodo bird. He collects hundreds of images of things that he is obsessed with like the Dodo bird, cockpits etc. Whilst playing with his child with some modelling clay he decided he wanted to make his own Dod bird skeleton. With the various images he had collected, he mapped out the structure of the skeleton to exact size and modelled it himself.
Adam ended his talk with “achieving the end of the exercise was never the point of the exercise to begin with.”
