Bruce Sterling is giving a lecture this Tuesday, September 26th at the Timken Lecture Hall at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The talk is free and starts at 7pm.
Bruce Sterling is the legendary master of the cyberpunk science fiction genre and a founder of the Viridian Design movement, which explores radical green technologies to deal with impending ecological collapse.
Sterling has written, “Don’t become a well-rounded person. Well-rounded people are smooth and dull. Become a thoroughly spiky person. Grow spikes from every angle. Stick in their throats like a puffer fish… . Learn about the stuff that was buried because it was too experimental or embarrassing or inexplicable.”
In 2005 he was “visionary in residence” at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, Saas-Fee, Switzerland.

And I love how the photo fades to black in the upper right corner (as well as lower corners to a degree) so that Bruce and Xeni bleed into your site itself ;>

Bruce Sterling has figured it out in terms of tracking down a north american design idiology. He is travelling, lecturing his ideas, and collecting a great amount of research via questions from the audience. He’s bouncing his ideas off a room full of people, begging for questions, and compiling a diagnosis of the design world as it relates to futurism. These students are the future of design. This man is a blistering genius.
