Geodesics

Naomi Reis' "Geodesics" series

The "Geodesics" series is a tribute to the spirit of investigation into the frontiers of science and engineering, in particular the innovations of Buckminster Fuller, a futurist and early advocate of sustainability who coined the phrase "spaceship Earth.” His geodesic spheres became symbols of an optimistic movement toward an improved future, a utopian quest to improve the world through efficient and better design. As curator Nicole Caruth writes about the series, “Geodesic Spheres embody many different ideas about digital systems and globalization, the architectures of the web, and to the unknowns of future technologies.”
