- Where does OK Go come up with ideas like dancing in zero gravity, performing in ultra slow motion or constructing a warehouse-sized Rube Goldberg machine for their music videos? In between live performances of "This Too Shall Pass" and "The One Moment," lead singer and director Damian Kulash takes us inside the band's creative process, showing us how to look for wonder and surprise.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

I like how instead of using a power point he just used the band
OkGo... Would you expect anything else? 😂👍😂👍
Yeah. All of them can play.
@@christopheralthouse6378 s**"
Absolute Genius, it's so much more surprising this way, and that just happens to be his point.
I think that’s part of what having a band is for, TBH.
Knowing that's what his childhood bedroom looked like makes so much sense now.
Imagine getting to have a mini concert AND a Ted talk from ok go, that would be amazing
This guy would be an engineer if he weren't in a band.
Ask Martin Molin.
This guy is an engineer and he's in a band #ftfy
The science of all the engineering, and the vision to make it artistically beautiful.
OK Go are one of the greatest audio-visual artists out there
💯
Can't beat a PowerPoint presentation.
Unless you're OK Go.
In which case, you make YOURSELF the PowerPoint presentation! 😂😂😂😂
OKGO has always been power and ON POINT!
Huge respect for them man... Their videos are insanely creative!!!!!!
Nobody makes music videos like them, the type of effort they put in is beyond any well produced and choreographed commercial music video, they do real art.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat and they just did that on the stage with this ted talk. Amazing creativity... or is it just finding the stuff now?
Indeed - how they did their talk is how they do the videos: this one step more than necessary for purely functional reasons. So instead of showing the videos, they play the soundtrack live in front of an audience, which is the most classic one-take one can imagine.
That's ted talk, I ever seem: Their video, their talk show, Their songs ... all of them that's produce by Creative's Superman. "HYPNOSIS,hypnosis!!!"
oh. i thought i am only person living in your country run and see this fantastic program. welcome
7:16 "It doesn't feel like you thought of that puzzle piece; it feels like you found it."
7:28 "We're usually looking for this specific feeling, which is WONDER. And there's always a component of SURPRISE to wonder. So we're not just looking for good ideas; we're looking for ideas that surprises us in some way."
9:18 "The chance of getting all 130 things to not fail at the same time, is .9 (for 90%) to the 130th power. So calculate that out and you get .000001 (...) so your chance for success is literally one in a million."
11:10 "So what we do is we try to identify some place where there might just be a ton of those untried ideas. We try to find a sandbox and then we gamble a whole bunch of our resources on getting in that sandbox and playing."
12:05 "This may seem to you like testing, but it really isn't because at this point we don't yet know what our idea is. (...) We're just playing."
???
This is inspiring! :)
Glad to see TED going back to its inspirational roots.
okay, I am 53 and was diagnosed with ADHD, finally, at age 51. Better late than never, right? Suddenly my whole life made a whole lot more sense. What he describes about playing visual games is totally what I've done my whole life. I'm always noticing things and playing visual games. I'm an artist so I really relate to this whole presentation!
I have always been the same way. Never diagnosed, I just don't care.
But I also completely lack creativity, so I missed that boat.
I wish all my college courses were like this presentation...
If there were a college course and each class were a presentation and discussion of an OK Go music video, then what class would it be? Choreography? Physics?
@@josh0g Interdisciplinary, obvs. Let the dancers and physics majors and engineers all put their noggins together for a final project.
I'm currently watching this video as a prequarter assignment in college 😂
@@finpin2622 Same! :)
The most underrated band ever
his body language are telling that he's a person with creative mind and his mind keep running calculating and finding ideas.
or just trying to make plants on the background look like ponytails sticking out of the aidience's heads
Or his actual language...shows that? Hello? Have you seen their videos?
@@tyl3raz7 Both!
Right
Besides the really good inspiring talk and the amazing videos, I'm kinda impressed they managed to synchronise to the videos live
i figured i was weird for being so impressed by it LOL
Beyond creative that i feel like crying for real. They are so passionate about arts and visuals!!! Wow! INFINITE RESPECT FOR THESE GUYS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED
For me their music and videos are something gorgeous, something that inspire me so much I just want to do really great things immediately. There is no only about beautiful picture of the video but deep sense of every song. Just thank you, guys, I hope someday I will make my ideas come real!
Анастасія Іванків that's how I exactly feel about this band, pretty clever.
Так, я з вами годен!
My brother picks on me for being obsessed with Ok Go and my brain be like... “you have no idea”
i don't even know where to start to understand how they calculate the numbers to create the last video..
they get to slow things down and speed it up a little bit afterwards, the speed isn't necessarily constant. They just need to make sure that things are supposed to be simultaneous really are simultaneous.
In the making of, they said they timed it down to the millisecond so that everything would sync up when run at "normal" speed.
that's an awesome video
TONS of behind-the-scenes videos about their work. In one, it is remarked that split-second timing such as the yellowish water balloons had not been calculated since the days of the Manhattan Project.
Yeah, I need to see the giant spreadsheet, 😅
The One Moment video is just mind-bogglingly amazing to watch!! I love hearing about their creative process. And as someone already commented, seeing Damian's bedroom as a teenager, it all makes so much sense that his brain works in beautiful, crazy, creative ways! If he wasn't doing what he *is* doing, he might be an evil genius (think Gru from 'Despicable Me') bent on world domination! LOL!
Just genius. Their videos are simply superb and always make me smile. So glad I became aware of them.
One other thing that impresses me is that they're capable of playing each other's instruments. I had enough difficulty learning the piano.
I had no idea this song could be any better.... these fellas have a real gift.
i wish my degree had just been watching this video, it literally tells you how to design in a much more accurate and productive way than the methods we were taught. and is way closer to the way i create solutions and fix problems. the idea is never planned in a lovely strict process rather stumbled upon and discovered... ive never thought of it this way before but it really does sum up how ive always gone about designing anything. always been a fan of the band and this ted talk confirms why i'll continue to be
Love this, they show me how to un-conform again. I've worked in corporate America for 12 years and feel the creativity slowly sucked out of me. My bedroom was so similar to his! What's more, even greater amounts of visual oddities covering every wall, oh and lots of glow-in-dark puff paints on the ceiling as well 😂😂 Thank you for keeping the cogs inspired!!!
omg this is how my mind works too!!! i'm autistic and I think like this a lot like when i'm on google images and I think that gem would match with that rock or something like that!!!
AAA dude me too and I have Apsergers!!!!
Such a creative group of musicians, artists and tinkerers!
The world needs far more people like OK GO!
Thank you Ted for posting this great video.
That save at 16:40 though. I thought that he'd mess up for sure after mixing up the 2nd and 3rd line of the chorus but he played it off well with a little laugh.
I wondered why he cracked up. I've heard this song many times and didn't notice he accidentally switched the two lines. Makes more sense now why the others give him a slightly confused look.
@@mulrich Same! Completely didn't notice
Truly underrated group. Absolutely uplifting and positive! I adore them
This is the only ted talk I can watch all the way through
Miles i
Lol
Even the presentation was different , unique and amazing.
And using the instrument to make sound effect also was amazing, you are brilliant guys!
Even, their presentation was very creative ... awesome
I wish that I had the same thinking that he has. The creativity as a kid never left him.
I was always a fan of this band, but when I saw this video two ish years ago it solidified my love. This performance of the one moment blows my mind
Those videos are great enough in their own right, but the fact that they can play in time to them live is just the cherry on top
That MV is just pure order and chaos
He seems humble in spite of the genius video ideas that they've created....
This is TRUE ART!
I LOVE these guys!
First saw OK Go half a decade ago and haven't been regretted nor disappointed the entire time. Finally the question inside my mind magically reached here on TED. Half a decade... worth the wait :)
He looks so happy to perform and i really like that
"Nothing better than a giant spreadsheet" this is why i love them
Holy crap can you imagine the cleanup???
They sure don't. Thinking of the ramifications is the surest killer of creativity. That is why meticulous people and clean freaks have such a hard time with creativity.
@@tigretora1 Just burn it all down.
Or, ya know, start with a broom.
this is one of the best ted talk, i ever seen.....marvelous
These guys are underrated geniuses, every music video is an amazing piece of art
Dude....I do the same exact thing...I thought I was the only one. I've known about this band for about a year now and never watched this video until now. Woah
one of my favourite TED talks ever...watched this live in a cinema in the UK and it was so inspiring!
one of my FAVORITE groups - - music and SCIENCE - together
These guys are incredible. Smart, talented and entertaining. They need thier own tv show or something.
Andy playing the xylophone is my new favorite thing
I love how he explained the difference between playing in a sandbox vs coming up with an idea.
Wow, I like how they made their lecture presentation... as uniquely choreograph like their music video!!!
By far my favorite recording of this too shall pass
I'm early on TED channel, my fav channel, and OK Go, my fav band. wow
terbang kebawah
Me too.
I don't think I've ever clicked on anything faster
terbang kebawah
somehow, i cant believe there's indonesian (cmiiw) loves this band.
yea I'm indonesian haha
ted is your favorite channel?
im sorry
This was amazing, insightful, smart and fun! Plus some pretty darn good music! Thank you!
All I saw the words Ok Go in my notifications and was like I have to watch this video
it is such a great pleasure to see this Ted Talk, as I just found OK Go this year, 2024, and the music videos of OK Go Band might be some of the most interesting, unexpected music videos
anyone else low key think Damien is a genius?
OK Go is the only group of people ever who are optimistic about a 27% chance. Maybe that's why they always surprise us.
最初はいい曲！すげェPV！！って思っても言ってることや歌詞がわかるとまた新しくこういう意味だったのかっていう新鮮さがあります！
今までも大好きだったけどもっと好きになれます(笑)
コメント欄英語ばっかでなに書いてあるのかさっぱりだけれども！
I love OK-Go！！
Vogel Industrie 愛してるぜ
And this is the coolest presentation ever.
You are all geniuses, OK GO! I reacted to this. love the eye candy in your videos.
Ok wow, they're actually amazing live.
Indie artists tend to be, though it's now cheaper and easier to tweak music in post-production than it was a decade or two ago.
One of my favourite talks. Fantastic.
Just another reason why these gentlemen are my favourite band
Ohhh here it goes, here it goes, here it goes AGAIN.
This is a really great TED talk.
What a brilliant mind he has! Even his presentation is so in-sync
Woo hoo I just shared one moment with a photographer
His response: "no, don't tell me" then sat open mouthed the rest of the time
This is so amazingly interesting. I love finding out what makes this band tick. I’ve followed them since they came out and they’re so cool. He is brilliant. I’m curious if the rest of the band gets frustrated or overwhelmed with his ideas at all, or are they are all similarly minded. ❤ Thank you for this.
Amazing. New lesson added. Planning is real important for a creative design.
This is one of the first videos I found that I'm frustrated I can't like more than once. Not only is it my favorite band, AND a TED talk, AND a great message... MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS!
Tim's socks give me life.
There's just something about this TED talk. I come back to it at least once a month.
Your vids are amazing and the people are amazing engineers, artists, musicians, and architects.
I knew it to be a Rock star is about excel spreadsheets planing :) 4.2 seconds is cool video.
Hi Ted-Team,
could you please move the video suggestion at the end a little to the top? It hides the last part of the music video in that corner. Thanks!
You are my heros guys!!
Wow! the "domino effect"...with pulsating music to back it up :) Wonderful!!! Great going guys!
This has to be one the best talks ever given by musical artists! mega kudos!
OK Go are the kings of music videos
Even the musical tone of the ending ted track thingy sounded in tune with the song. and in tempo.
why did this get mild applause?
this is hope for humanity
I love this band for so many reasons besides their incredible music
these guys are so inventive.- awesome seeing them live their best life - so happy for them!
It was obvious the first time I saw/heard these guys that they are great musicians/singers but I just knew they were also (very) smart...this talk proved it.
They're freaking amazing! Every single music video of them are mind blowing, so glad to see them on Ted, which just happens to be one of the most amazing talk organisation in my opinion.
I still can't comprehend their level of creativity.
And now I love this band even more.
These guys… current greats of our time in art. Undervalued.
I do the same thing that Damon does with lining objects up. I thought I was the only one!
Imdad so do i.
Damn, this band is bound for greatness.
OK Go music videos are the clearest and best of where science and art intersect in pop culture.
Because when you watch them there is the science of the calculation, physics, optical illusion, and so many other aspects, but there's also the overall vision that results in something artistically beautiful.
Holy crap I did this too and I honestly didn’t think anyone else did this lol. I’m not where close to this guys talent level but I’m happy I’m not the only one who does this.
What comes to mind is that many ideas come from 'conceptual' or 'intuitive' processes - not linear processes. Say N vs S on Myers Briggs.
Step 1: Be giant nerds!
I mean, marching bands, NASA, math?
bruh
There are many characteritics we could say to describe this video but I would say INSPIRED!!!!!!!
I still remember being mesmorized by the A Million Ways video. And now look at all they've done.
Yay, I was a fan since 2010, loved their music and their unique charm with it, relying not on appealing to pop culture but instead keeping their own ideas and emotions in their music. I love the complexity of their videos, both as a lover of their music and as an engineer who enjoys complexity.
Keep doing what your doing and thanks TED.
For 11 Years my favorite band
I loved them so much, they make me want to be more crative.
at the end I just said.. Wow. Couldnt even find a word to describe
This is beyond amazing! So inspiring!
Love this band so much
