Amar Bose was born in Pennsylvania of 1929. But his parents were immigrants from India

Amar Bose went on to get a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT. While he was working as a professor, he became dissatisfied with a high-end set of speakers he had purchased and started tinkering. His research into acoustics and speaker technology would lead to the first Bose speakers, renowned today for their ability to accurately recreate sound as it was meant to be heard. Today Bose employs almost 12,000 people, has contracts with both NASA and the military, is highly sought after in the commercial market, and brought in more than $3 billion worth of revenue in 2015.

Kimsooja was born in 1957 in Taegu, South Korea. She earned a BFA (1980) and MA (1984) from Hong-Ik University, Seoul. Kimsooja’s videos and installations blur the boundaries between aesthetics and transcendent experience through their use of repetitive actions, meditative practices, and serial forms. In many pieces, everyday actions—such as sewing or doing laundry—become two- and three-dimensional or performative activities. This work combines and transposes six national flags that, together, form a new transnational flag. They are layered in alphabetical order by country, including nations that are not internationally recognized. &nbsp;I wanted to present the flags as indistinguishable cross-pollinating visual symbols, to empty and reconfigure their purported intent — as symbols of state sovereignty and nationhood — in order to blur and transcend national borders. This work is a call for coexistence, for an ideal world in which individuals can unite in celebration of our distinctions and of our common humanity.

Yang got both his bachelor's and master's in electrical engineering at Stanford University. There, he met David Filo, and together they cofounded Yahoo!, arguably the biggest internet portal in the '90s. Yang stepped down as Yahoo CEO in 2009 and left the company in 2012.
