The line between life and not-life Martin Hanczyc of the Center for Fundamental Living Technology (FLinT) in Denmark, shows off protocells - simple chemical blobs that display life-like behavior - in his TED talk. The protocells move around, feed on energy, dance with each other, merge, split up again and very much resemble digital artificial life environments. I am looking forward to a point where wetware labs become more and more common in the art-tech scene, and coders get their hands dirty with chemicals and primordial goo.

David Brooks: The social animal Great TED talk by New York Times columnist David Brooks titled The Social Animal. He talks about how our society is based on reason, while our emotions are mostly smarter than our reasoning. How you should have a couple of good night sleeps before making big decisions, to give our unconscious the opportunity to work away on the issue, before communicating back the results in form of intuition and emotion.
