BFI 2014 FULLER CHALLENGE

Entry April 5, 2014

The ENERGY NODE Project

A Global outreach project to participate in a common activity, then to document and communicate their experience with that activity. In the process it might give us a NEW perspective on our own experience! The strategy is to bring awareness to one’s “Self” through the discovery of “Otherness”.

The Energy Node Project is a World Traveling Exhibit/Workshop. It’s self-contained, lightweight and easy to handle... And it’s full of timeless “Treasures”.

The concept is to box up and send this kit-of-parts building system around the World, allowing each Host to unpack the kit-of-parts, assemble the structure, disassemble the structure, document their experience, post their results on-line, and then pack up and send The Energy Node Project on to the next welcoming Host.

ENERGY NODE Binary Building System is an extremely lightweight and remarkably strong building system that is comprised of only TWO repeating elements...

The SPACE-TIME VECTOR and the ENERGY NODE!

The vector is a typical 2” diameter kraft paper mailing tube. The node is a custom designed rigid polyurethane foam casting. Together the two become an all-space-filling, binary building system.

Activities are structured around the Isotropic Vector Matrix to explore and interact with the operational patterning of Universe and unlock primordial intelligence (best described in Synergetics, RBF). The Binary Building System is designed to make it inherently simple and “intuitive” to assemble. Interacting with the system is a sensational exercise that allows you to perceive the intelligence of the Energy Nodes as they demonstrate the ability to self-align, self-connect, self-correct and self-organize!

NO QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY!

This is EXPERIENCE based learning!!

The ULTIMATE tool for...

building a FRAMEWORK for LEARNING!!

 

It has been a privilege to participate in this prestiges exercise of "Doing Your Own Thinking!"

I did my best to fully implement Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science practices. Most importantly... I paid attention to and documented the Design Process! This has been an enlightening experience and I am thrilled to share this with everyone... Around the World!

Please visit The ENERGY NODE Project page, featured on the Home page. It has a lot more information with all the Project Updates, photos and videos. You'll see that there many twists and turns along the way... but they have all led me to here!

Thank you for your consideration.
