Buckminster Fuller
1999 meeting with Allegra Snyder Fuller
exploration of structures found in nature with
the goal to find ways to incorporate those
principles to other ways of envisioning the
information body.
"The great aesthetic which will inaugurate the
twenty-first century will be the utterly
invisible quality of intellectual integrity the
integrity of the individual dealing with his
scientific discoveries the integrity of the
individual in dealing with conceptual realization
of comprehensive interrelatedness of all events
the integrity of the individual dealing with the
only experimentally arrived at information
regarding invisible phenomena and finally
integrity of all those who formulate invisibly
within their respective minds and invisibly with
the only mathematically dimensionable, advanced
technologies, on the behalf of their fellow men".
Fuller, 1973

  weightless against the sky. Height 200 feet
  spherical diameter 250 feet. Construction a
  space frame of steel pipes enclosing 1,900 molded
  acrylic panels."

Feeling the invisible The principle of the
Scanning Tunneling Microscope STM A billion times
larger Where the real finger is the Eiffel
tower And an atom is a golf ball Yet nothing is
more different than a golf ball Nothing less
solid Its mainly nothingness

The finger a fine needle terminated by a single
atom

Feeling is seeing Buckminsterfullerine molecules
One nanometer across We are looking at electron
probabilities and waves here Its mainly empty
space!

"water will be to the 21st century what oil was
to the 20th." Who owns water and how much they
are able to charge for it will become the
question of the century. The privatization of
water is already a 400-billion-a-year business.

MISSION OF THE ART SCI CENTERTo pursue,
facilitate and promote research and programs that
demonstrate the potential of media arts and
science collaborations. Media artists and
scientists from the home campus, UCLA, from the
UC system, the national and international
communities will approach the center's intention
to address ethical, social and environmental
issues of contemporary scientific innovations and
artistic projects that respond to cutting-edge
inventions and research.
