As the generation of the new millennium, we are told to push the boundaries of the limitations set by society, whether through the creation of something new and innovative or through solutions of pre-existing problems. As was discussed in class, innovation often arises between the collaboration of two apparent polar opposites, such as engineering and business.
Kinetic Sculptor, Theo Jansen states in the video above, “The walls between art and engineering exists only within our minds.” The limits we set for ourselves as hopeful entrepreneurs, sprouting accountants, or others only defines what we will become in the future. As members of a business community, innovation is something hard to distinguish. How can I create an idea that others will buy into so I can get a rich return? How far am I willing to stretch the limits of reality and my resources to create something others may ridicule or love?
The answer in a willingness to take risks. Be open to failure. And continue to persevere in the face of adversity.
It seems as if everything that is to invent has already been invented; yet when shown man made wonders like Jansen’s ingenious moving structures, it is never impossible to dream.
