R.
Buckminster Fuller Centennial Symposium & Celebration,
BBC Scotland Interview
Dear GENI
Friend,
Hundreds
of people from around the world have just left San
Diego after celebrating the Centennial
of Buckminster Fuller. The impact of this gathering
will be felt for years to come. Unleashing so many
new trimtabs
is bound to generate the Design
Science Revolution we advocate.
GENI was
honored to coordinate this unique global event which
spanned four universities and Balboa Park. The Dymaxion
Car, Film
Festival and Bucky
for Kids Festival were a big hit. Many of the
seminars were standing room only, and the Opening
and Closing Ceremonies were very special production
events. Soon we will have both audio and video tapes
available for those who could not attend.
As our
thanks for your continued support over the years,
we've enclosed Bucky's statement on Integrity.
This was our final piece of the entire event, with
Bucky on screen speaking to each of us in a very personal
way. The question of the moment was, If
the success or failure of the planet depended on you,
what is spontaneously arousable in you?
In addition,
the exposure of our work jumped to a new level this
week in the scientific world. A copy of New
Scientist is enclosed, and the global energy
grid was the cover story! Two days later, BBC Scotland
called for an interview.
We expected
there to be a bounce from the Bucky Centennial, but
we didn't think it would be so big and so soon. Thanks
to you, this year should be the most important time
for our work, ever.
