"BUCKY - a one-man performance"
1999-11-13 until 0000-00-00
ARTSCI'99
New York, NY, USA United States of America

This New York premier is being featured in conjunction with the ARTSCI'99 Symposium produced by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) and The Cooper Union and is a one-time only event. Meet R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, businessman, poet and philosopher; clearly one of the most exciting minds of our century. Brad Armstrong's characterization evokes the essence of one of Bucky's infamous lecture/talks: congenial, entertaining, wide ranging, humanistic and sharp-witted. Using colorful props and projections, BUCKY takes the audience on a transformative journey into the playful mind of a genius at work. Here is a man who set out to change the course of history, not through politics but through invention. The physical objects he created like the geodesic dome and Dymaxion map deliberately and spontaneously re-orient us to reality. Bucky most treasured human beings' unique ability to understand and participate in the underlying patterns of the universe. It was his unshakable belief that each of us here on Spaceship Earth has a singular contribution to make toward bettering the whole planet's welfare - and that exactly that, and no less, is the success for which mankind is designed.

Through the powerful universal principles that Buckminster Fuller discovered and utilized during his lifetime, namely, Synergy, Precession, Ephemeralization, and Acceleration of Acceleration, we can explain and predict some of the fastest mutating, richest and most inclusive patterns of behaviors operating throughout the universe. Learning and applying Bucky's principles enables us to move forward in our stewardship of the earth with extraordinary innovation, speed and integrity.
