TED PRIZE WINNER JR WANTS YOU TO TURN THE WORLD 'INSIDE OUT'

JR presented his wish last night to a captive TED audience and streamed live for anyone with an internet connection to see.  A truly inspiring artist, his wish is for the whole world to participate in his next art project titled 'Inside Out.' JR has already lined up the man behind Google Street view—along with countless other philanthropists in attendance last night—to document and catalog his project online.
