About 400 TED fans, Fairchild members and people keen to share ideas assembled under a huge marquee, sipped on TEDxtinis and enjoyed moonlit tours of the gardens while discussing how to sustain, protect and develop Miami.

After two simulcast events — TED 2011 and TED Global — and our main event at the New World Center in September, this intellectual garden party at Fairchild gave attendees an insight into how local thought leader’s ideas are so closely connected to some of the most amazing talks available to watch on TED.com. The format was totally different and took us on journey from pollen to re_creational architecture to solving what appear to be complex problems with uniquely simple solutions.
Thanks to everyone for their support and participation in TEDxMIA at Fairchild — and all of the other TEDxMIA events in 2011.

The world’s ugliest music has gone viral! At TEDxMIA 2011 in September, we were entertained with a number of musical elements. The strangest of those was the Perfect Ping, a totally random piece of music based on prime number theory, and the sonar ping, composed by a mathematician.
TEDxMIA speaker and mathematics professor Scott Rickard’s talk on The World’s Ugliest Music is up there with some of the most watched TEDx talks. Additionally, Newshour on the BBC World Service will be talking to him about “What is ‘ugly music’?” on Sunday, November 6.
Check out Newshour and the BBC World Service for more information and to listen to the radio piece about ‘ugly music.’
