Taking Imagination Seriously

I viewed this TED talk this morning, it is a great talk.

American artist Janet Echelman reshapes urban airspace with monumental, fluidly moving sculpture that responds to environmental forces including wind, water, and sunlight.

Challenges:
But there was no engineering software to model something porous, and moving...
There was no language to translate this ancient handcrafts...
I didn't know where to begin, but I said "Yes".

We had to create it.

Bringing imagination, to live.
Sharing the re-discovery of wonder.
