Viridian design movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Viridian design movement is an aesthetic movement centered around bright green environmentalist and technogaian concepts. It ties together environmental design, techno-progressivism, and global citizenship.[1]
It was founded in 1998 by Bruce Sterling, an Austin-based postcyberpunk science fiction author. Sterling remains the central figure in the movement to this day, with Alex Steffen perhaps the next best-known. Some frequent contributors to Sterling's Viridian notes formed the Worldchanging blog.[2][3]
Sociologist James Hughes has identified the Viridian design movement as a current within the democratic transhumanist ideology and movement.[4]
