Here is a TV commercial for Apple Computers from the 1990’s called “Think Different”. The concept bears revisiting because many people now need to recapture the artist within to reinvent their personal life, their work life or their organization.
The one-minute commercial features black and white video footage of significant historical Change Artists of the past, including (in order):
1. Albert Einstein
2. Bob Dylan
3. Martin Luther King, Jr.
4. Richard Branson
5. John Lennon (with Yoko Ono)
6. R. Buckminster Fuller
7. Thomas Edison
8. Muhammad Ali
9. Ted Turner
10. Maria Callas
11. Mahatma Gandhi
12. Amelia Earhart
13. Alfred Hitchcock
14. Martha Graham
15. Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog)
16. Frank Lloyd Wright
17. Pablo Picasso
The commercial ends with an image of a young girl, Shaan Sahota, opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her.
