Daan Roosegaarde and Techno-Poetry

The speaker that stood out the most for me today is Daan Roosegaarde. He describes himself as a hippie with a business plan.

 He does what he describes as Techno-Poetry. His projects involve a lot of technology and more so interaction, his Lotus Dome project is a good example. The dome features ultra-light aluminium flowers that fold open as a response to human movement and behaviour creating a spectacular play of light, shadow and pattern.

Here he is talking a little bit about himself and what he designs.

And here is a video showcasing the Lotus Dome
