Salvatore Iaconesi: What happened when I open-sourced my brain cancer (2015x127)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 16, 2015

When artist Salvatore Iaconesi was diagnosed with brain cancer, he refused to be a passive patient -- which, he points out, means "one who waits." So he hacked his brain scans, posted them online, and invited a global community to pitch in on a "cure." This sometimes meant medical advice, and it sometimes meant art, music, emotional support -- from more than half a million people.
