After watching Raul Cuero's interview we were asked to think about how we could apply some of his concepts to our everyday life. As I watched the interview I wrote down some things that stood out to me and that can easily be applied to my everyday life. He is a true believer that art and technology go hand and hand with each other. I honestly always thought they had some correspondence with each other but after listening to his knowledge I now have a better understanding.
Before the interview started a quote appeared on the screen saying "out of difficulties grow miracles". Raul was born in Columbia and was so poor he could not afford books growing up. As a teen he grew to like basket ball and received a higher education through a sports scholarship. He is now a micro biologist. In this case, art is not with paint and sketches but the art of being able to grow intellectually.
He believes that it is important to have a universal consciousness.
He mentions how creative solutions for life's problems will always be helpful. The only way to be creative with problem solving is by changing the expectations of others. For example, doing something others think that you can not do. Creativity to Raul is innovation and something that is not obvious.
Kids and adults today are at a creative disadvantage because they are born into a life of luxury. When you have everything handed to you there is no need to think outside of the box. Raul believes that doing things with your hands creates new thinking so in order to grow art we need to be working hands on with things.
