Concept and Purpose
This event was originally
conceived to showcase interesting arts and technologies
related to the wind. After the events that impacted America
so deeply, many people felt more urgently than ever the
need to develop more constructive interaction with the world
around us. Thinking of "wind" metaphorically,
our theme expanded to "Winds of Innovation...Winds
of Change".
Our mission is to bring open, creative
people together with art, ideas and technologies that will
inspire and combine to bring positive effects to our social
and physical environment. We have been encouraged by the
many small and large positive efforts around us and hope
this can be forum for many more.
