Shea Hembrey: How I Became 100 Artists, is the third episode in the season 1 of the TED Talks: Artistry and Illusion. The episode features Shea Hembrey, an American conceptual artist who creates works in a wide variety of mediums. In this TED Talk, Hembrey tells the story of how he became 100 artists in order to better understand the art world.

Hembrey starts by explaining that he became frustrated with the art world and its focus on a few big name artists. He wanted to explore the work of unknown artists and bring their creations to light. To do this, he decided to become 100 different artists with different backgrounds, styles, and techniques.

Hembrey spent years researching and creating each artist. He gave each artist a backstory and a unique style, which he then expressed through their artwork. He even created art movements and exhibitions for each artist.

Throughout the talk, Hembrey shows examples of the work of several of his created artists, each with their own distinct style and technique. Some of the artists he created are well-known, such as a Japanese artist who creates incredibly intricate sculptures of insects. Others are less known but equally fascinating, like an artist who creates realistic looking food out of glass.

Hembrey's talk is not only informative but also entertaining. He has a great sense of humor and is clearly passionate about his work. He encourages viewers to think differently about the art world and to explore the work of lesser-known artists.

Overall, Shea Hembrey: How I Became 100 Artists is a fascinating look into the mind of an artist who is not afraid to break the rules and push the boundaries of what is possible. It is an inspiring talk that will leave viewers feeling excited about the possibility of discovering new and unknown artists.
