We need to talk about TED
Thirty odd years ago when I was one of the few architects in the world using CAD everyday at work, there was a lot of resistance to CAD in the architectural community at large. I wonder how prevalent parametricism will be 25-30 years from now? It wouldn't surprise me if parametricism and CAD come to share a similar history.
On a personal level, I still from time to time find myself (finally) acting on an idea I had 10 or 15 or even 20 years ago. The thing is though, the resultant executions of the years-old-ideas still manage to manifest a quality of innovation. Perhaps it can then be said that innovative ideas may take time to become a 'reality', but the innovation itself does not become old.

...in thinking more about it, the idea of a virtual biennale kind of came to me because I realized that your last two posts about the Bi-City Biennale are being written (I assume) from Los Angeles. That got me thinking about how my virtual experience of the Bi-City Biennale through your posts is even more virtual than I first imagined. Eric (above) wrote your "essay has an overall Wish You Were Here feel," but you weren't even still there yourself. I don't know, it just seemed very inverted, paradoxical even.
Regarding a virtual biennale, I realize that it could never have the live event-ness of a real biennale, nor in any way be a 'machine' to bolster a local economy, but that lack of real place/time and economic drive might just be the underlying theme of any virtual biennale. Also, inversion. Instead of "Wish you were here," it would be more like: let me (virtually) show you what's special about where I'm at, but, to be honest, I'm glad you're not here because if too many people came here, then the special-ness would be lost.
