The Viridian Design Movement was started by Bruce Sterling. The goal was to build an art movement "with an expiration date," focused on climate change and destructive weather. Like any movement, the Viridians eschew neutrality for a tenacious focus on some key principles. However, they may be round where you expect them to be square, and spiky where you expect them to be soft. This is an environmental movement with three noticeable differences: no patience with fuzzy mysticism, a focus on the old (not the hip youngsters), and a willingness to play ball with law enforcement and armed services.

Message from Ann Bishop:

"I created this iLab to help CIRN members share ideas, readings, syllabi, news and events.

If you are looking for CIRN's main website, go to http://www.ciresearch.net/

to start using this iLab...

To upload a file or post to the Bulletin Board, you first need to create your iLab login (click on the login button above). Then email me (abishop@uiuc.edu) to tell me you've completed your login and i'll add you as a member of the CIRN iLab. Once I've done that, you can start posting.

iLab software can't promise 24/7 100% service, but we've been using it for courses, research groups and community projects for several years now. iLabs is a collaborative project created by people from all walks of life; it is maintained as a research and learning activity of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions."
