This TED Talk is full of bad ideas | Gabe Whaley - TED Talks Daily
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
What if the worst ideas turned out to be the most interesting? Mischief-making artist Gabe Whaley shares how he built a collective of artists whose seemingly bad ideas — like selling 5,000 keys to the same car — often go viral and sell for thousands of dollars. His playful experiments show why it’s worth leaning into the absurd … because you never know what might happen.
