"4 A.M. Mystery" - A TED Talk Parodying Conspiracy Theorists

Rives exposes the secrets of 4 a.m., on TED.com 



The slam poet/tech artist/paper sculptor Rives does eight minutes of lyrical origami, folding history into a series of coincidences surrounding that most surreal of hours: 4 o’clock in the morning. This elusive hour, both very late and very early, appears often in art and literature as a way to describe the most extreme states of affairs. Rives — aided by a nimble mind and extensive online research — reveals 4 a.m. as an iconic moment, drawing hilarious historical connections. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 09:17.)
