In seinem TED-Vortrag spricht Stefan Sagmeister auch über das OUBEY Buch und das MINDKISS Projekt

At every stopover of the OUBEY Global Encounter Tour visitors have the opportunity to do an "Open Encounter" with an unknown painting by OUBEY on their own. This ten year old boy took the chance to do so in December 2015 at our stopover at NIAAD in Uganda.

As I was channel zapping recently I came across the blind auditions of The Voice of Germany and watched them, spellbound by the performance of one of the contestants. The singer was called Ludmilla Larusso, and hadn’t chosen a pop song but an opera aria, Nessun Dorma by Giaccomo Puccini and what she made of it was truly impressive. That by itself should have been extraordinary enough. But when she told us that she only discovered her vocal talent and began singing when she was well over the age of 40, I was really bowled over. And I was also extremely pleased because for me this was a marvellous illustration of one of my principles of life – that it’s never too late to embark on something new.

Beim Besuch einer Ausstellung in der Alten Münze in Berlin geriet ich vor kurzem in ein Kunsterlebnis hinein wie ich es bis dahin nicht kannte. In einem dunklen Raum wurden die Gemälde von berühmten Künstlern auf vier Wänden im Großformat filmisch projiziert. Bilder von Van Gogh, Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet und anderen Künstlern bewegten sich um mich herum. Filmische Projektion anstelle der originalen Werke?! Ist das wirklich gut, fragte ich mich?
