They didn’t invent any techniques or technology, but they raised awareness on what is possible with current technology… “Wait, we can create medical breakthroughs with this stuff?”

So what you’re saying is somebody could make a poison that’s injected into a person and only triggered when a certain radio frequency with enough amplitude is broadcast into their body

How to Invite Creativity into Your Life | Rose B. Simpson, Debbie Millman | TED

CYBER TECH TV

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of the point.) In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025)
