Summary: "A Modern Geoscope", with Bonnie DeVarco and David McConville. Today's interview features guests Bonnie DeVarco, digital visual artist and former archivist for Buckminster Fuller’s papers, and David McConville, also a visual artist and co-founder of “The Elumenati” (at www.elumenati.com), a firm specializing in the design of immersive visual environments. Since 1962 when Buckminster Fuller first went public with the idea of a Geoscope, many have been fascinated with his vision for a “giant, 200-foot diameter, miniature earth” that would provide an “electronic” visual representation of everything from weather to the various ways we human beings impact our “Spaceship Earth” on a daily basis. Listen to this week’s interview to learn how, thanks to a creative re-visioning of his concept and the application of the latest digital visualization technologies, Fuller’s Geoscope will be coming to life soon in ways far more powerful than his own original conception.
