We've all seen a kaleidoscope But have you ever seen one made with people? Made without any help from a computer?
Watch this video and look for the assignment below:
TEDxSUMMIT - The Power of X from WE ARE Pi on Vimeo.
A quote from the description of the video:
...they fused architecture, dance, math and magic into a bespoke18-meter high triangular mirrored structure that hovered over a multi-colour moving floor to create the world’s first Human Arabesque (with no computer graphics).An Arabesque is a form of art that reminds me of a kaleidoscope.
The "Power of X" as they say, to me, means "the power of our minds & creativity." The power of our potential.

I never saw a human kailidescope before. But I saw letters made out of humans.I think we can accomplish anything without technology. I would make a revolving picture out of humans. Finally, if I could do anything without a computer, I would build an amazing, famous building
I never saw a human kailidescope before. But I saw a cupcake painting made out of humans.No, I do not think we can accomplish some things without technology because technology makes things easier.I would make an awesome cartoon drawing made out of humans. If I can do anything without an computer I would camp outside in my backyard.
I never saw a human kaleidoscope before. I do not think I can make or accomplish something without technology.But I would make a cool human boxing glove. If technology was gone I would make a tree house.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before.It was very cool.
I think we can accomplish a lot of things without technology. Think about how people did things in the old days. They still were able to do many great things.Technology is a great thing, but we can live without it.
If I were to define my creation, I would describe it as fun. I would like people to have a good time while seeing my creation. My creation would be a human instrument. And all of the people inside, would play the flute to make it sound like one big flute.
If technology were gone, I would make cartoons using lights. I would do this to prove we can do things without technology.
I never saw a human kaleidoscope before. I can't do/accomplish anything without technology. I would make a cartoon drawing of creatures. Or I would go camping.
I haven't seen a human kaleidoscope, besides on the internet. A lot of things are possible without any tech at all. The science fair, for example, a lot of kids used tech, but some didn't. I would actually try to make a kaleidoscope. I define without tech as, couch, chair, curtains. Without tech I would, go and play sports. Lie down on the grass, and watch the clouds. Spy on people (in my family of course.)There are so many different things to do, you just have to look.
No,I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before.
I think I can accomplish doing something without computers.What I would make would be, a kaleidoscope but with my family and more colors.
I have seen what the image in a very small kaleidoscope, and it looks very cool because you see the image your looking at, it's reflected many times, like what you saw in the video.
I think that we can accomplish many things without using computers because back then we didn't have computers to help us in class or look words up without having to go all the way to the library justo search up a word.
Well if I were to make something without using a computer, it would be a remote controlled robot that I would have to design without getting ideas for the computer or learning how to build one for the instructions online. Instead I would learn by reading a lot of books that I find that may have more knowledge that looking things up on the Internet, that may or may not be even true.
If I had the ability to create anything it would be an enormous catapult, because I like things that were made by Leonardo Da Vinci and because I like things fling like catapults and rubber bands.
I have never saw a human kaleidoscope before. That video shows that not everything needs computers and phones. My dad took away my ipad for a week. I had a lot of fun without my ipad and a lot of other people will have fun too. When my grandma was little she did not have computers if she wanted to talk to someone she had to use letters. If I had to invent something I would invent a pillow that viberates.
I have never seen a human telescope before. This shows that even though we have electronics, we don't need it to do everything. I can accomplish many things without electronics. Think about your grandparents or the people that came before you, they did not have a lot or even any electronics and they survived. If I was to invent something non electronic I would invent a car without a motor or anything electronic.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before. I can create and accomplish many things without computers. Likefor instance, I can use a human kaleidoscope to make moving banners for parades. For example, the human kaleidoscope would make a moving banner that says "Macy's Day Parade" on it for the Thanksgiving Parade.I would make my own ink fora pen. I would use wildberries and water. Also, I would make a pen out of a feather. If I could do anything in the world, but couldn't use technology, I would drive somewhere far ( like Philidolphia ) without a GPS.
I have never seen a human kaleidascope before except for in that video. I can probably accomplish many things without a computer. In the time of the Aztec empire and the Egyptian pharoahs, there was no such thing as electronics. I would try to invent a fast moving, non motor or electronic vechile than can fly and comes in all sizes, from the sie of a skateboard to the size of a truck.

I have never seen a human kaleidascope except in that video I sort of could and not accomplish because I love technology but I don't use it every single day
I actually have seen a human kaleidoscope before on youtube. I can accomplish many things without a computer. I would invent a new planet by collecting a lot of land from earth.
This was the first time I have seen anything like this before. My favorite part was the moving floor with the changing colors.
I love crafting and you don’t need a computer to do it. I could cook dinner with my Mom, and we could make delicious meals.
If I couldn’t use a computer to create something amazing, I would work on a big art project. A big art project would allow me to think without a computer and I could use my creativity.
If I was asked to do something without a computer or technology, it would be pretty hard for me. If I had to do without a computer, I would probably go camping. Going camping in the wild would be a beautiful sight. That’s what I would do if there wasn’t technology in this world.
I never saw a human kaleidoscope before. I can do lots of stuff with out technology. If people from the past make lots of cool stuff we can to. People made hand made clothes. Now we make clothes by factories. The thing I can do with out technology is cook with a camp fire. What I will try to make is a hand made yarn notebook. What I will do instead of using technology is play with my brother.
I've never seen a human kaleidoscope. I do not think we can accomplish things without technology. Our food will get spoiled if we did not have a refrigerator. We also would be very cold in the winter without a heater. Most of all, we would not have the internet and would not hear recent news.

I saw 1,000 of girl danceing. they were making different shape. They move fast they grab hand I love how they all danes. There were more girl coming. When it came to the end there were like 50 girl and they all made a exs. After they all left.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope until now.
I think that I can accomplish a lot without technology or a computer.
I think that something you create without a computer that is amazing should be defined as colorful and detailed. I would try to make a lifesized dollhouse without a computer or technology.
I would try to travel around the world without using technology or a computer.
NO I have not seen a human kaleidoscope! The video reminded me of something that I can accomplish! Setting a table for thanksgiving! Why did I think of that? I thought of the similarity in that the video had perfect symmetry and that usually a set table has some type of symmetry. All kidding aside if I were to build something without technology I would make a roof deck! I know that most architectural blueprints
are usually made with computers but they can be made by hand.
P.S. nice clip Mr. Casal! :)
I have not seen a human kaleidoscope until now.
I think that I can accomplish a lot without computers.
I think that something that is created without a comptuer and is amazing can be defined as colorful and detailed.
If I could do anything without computers I would try to travel all aroung the world.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before,actually i have never seen a kaleidoscope.I can create letters,and shapes with humans without computer animation.If you were to ask me to create something amazing without a computer i would define that as putting yourself in the old days where there was no computers.I would try to create cartoon characters out of people or a pencil or paper to entertain.If i can make anything in the world without technology i would make a a unicorn made out of skittles.I would do that by filling plastic bottles with skittles and then putting them into a shape of a unicorn.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before. Obviously we cant live without technology. How did the cavemen survive I don't know but it's a mystery. Without tech we wouldn't have cars to drive us. O.K let me put it this way, imagine going on a road trip to Alabama can you walk those miles!Without technology we wouldn't be able to sew. Would you like going around town with loincloths. Heck without tech we wouldn't be able to write this online. So there you have it without technology our live's would stink!
No, I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before. I think we can accomplish some things without technology but not all. For instance sports, we do not need a computer to swing the bat at the ball. We need heat in the winter and coldness in the summer. We do need technology to accomplish some things but not all.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before and I thought the video was very interesting.I think that we could accomplish things without technology because many things before technology. With computers I could create a stick house.
We still can do lots of things without technology like playing games, learning, ect. We don't need to to type things when we can just write it. We can accomplish so much without technology. Besides me using my iPad for homework.
I have not seen a human kaleidoscope, but I think it would be very interesting. Kaleidoscopes are fascinating. The video reminds me of the advertisement for sneakers that is on a billboard near Penn Station.
Even without computers, you can still create entertainment and fun.
If I had to make something amazing I would make a sculpture out of either wood or clay.
If I could do anything w/o a computer, I would go for a bike ride and play tennis.
Yes I have seen a kaleidoscope before but I have not seen a human kaleidoscope.If there were no animation on the computer I would draw my own animations.
I would try to make my very own cup cake recipe without the computer. If there were no t.v. or intertainment Iwould create a show with my hands or something similar to that.

I never saw a human kaleidoscope before.If I had to do something without using a computer I would be a model or be a famous swimmer.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope before.I think we can do lots of things without computers. We can walk,talk,and play games without computers.If there was no such thing as computers I would read books all the time. Something that I want to do without a computer is run a store.
I have seen a human kaleidoscope. I it was awesome. If I was asked to create something awesome without a computer, I would just draw many things until something awesome come ups. If I couldn't do anything with a computer, I would run or play soccer.
I have never seen a human kaleidoscope. I could accomplish making a video without computer anamations. If I had to do something without a computer I would ride my bike or scooter. If I had to make something without a computer I would use wood and define it as sculpting with wood together with shapes. If I had to do something without a computer I would exercise and go to the gym.
That is awesome!!!! Oh my goodness! it must have been so hard to do! It also must have been hard too... I wish I could have done that!
