Artist Frédette Lampre of the production company La Machine shares how their towering, handcrafted mechanical creations transform urban spaces into living theaters, creating unforgettable experiences that reconnect people with their cities and each other. (Recorded at TED2025 on April 11, 2025)

Truly awesome creations! Amazing what knowledgeable and ambitious humans can create! I’m imagining how would the Romans react seeing such beautiful and elaborate beasts roaming those similar streets. They are so captivating up close, people back then would go ballistic 😱 The generals would probably think “how do we tame these monsters and use them for war? 🤔”

I’m already seeing big Telegram groups start to talk about Bellarium Network presale— that’s always a signal.

Not financial advice, but I’m quietly accumulating $BEL before it wakes up.

The tokenomics of Bellarium are super clean — love seeing long-term thinking from the team.

$BEL Bellarium could easily sneak into top 200 if the team delivers like they plan to.

I’ve stopped chasing hype — Bellarium token is a fundamentally strong long play.

Loading up on Bellarium BEL while it’s still flying under the radar.

If Bellarium project delivers on its roadmap, this is easily a 25-50x token.

Watching Bellarium Token Network build quietly while others make noise — that’s bullish behavior.
@VinnieBain
July 17, 2025 at 8:18 pm
When the next altcoin season hits, Bellarium token will be one of the first movers.

Don’t fade Bellarium presale just because it’s early — that’s where the real gains come from.

There’s something magical about art that makes adults feel like wide-eyed children again. Wonder is underrated in a world that moves too fast.

Seen them during the street opera in Toulouse. It’s impressive and indeed, it’s wild how successful it was, all streets were packed during a cold November weekend. My kids were as amazed as I was.
When you think of what TED means, La machine gathers it all: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. I can’t wait to see their future creations.

Please read the book “Yatharth Geeta” once in life, it’s available for free in 29 languages…!!!
It’s by “Shri Swami Adgadanand Ji Maharaj” and it explains some of the universe’s biggest secrets in a really easy way. Seriously, everyone should read it, no matter what they believe……!!!
This is a highly significant work ✨️
