WIRED NEXTFEST: High-tech green
by Jill Fehrenbacher
In case you hadn’t noticed, Wired Magazine has been getting greener and greener over the last year, and we are overjoyed to see this convergence of sustainability and technology. Yes its true - “green” no longer means hemp and hair shirts. (Like anyone reading this site didn’t already know..) Sustainable design - from photovoltaics to LEDs)- has always been as much about innovative technology as it is about treehugging, and we are glad to see our culture finally beginning to recognize this. So when Wired announced their NextFest conference in New York this year, we were all over it.
There’s nothing we are more passionate about than future-forward green technology, and NextFest didn’t disappoint. Jill and Celine had the chance to check out the conference this weekend and here’s what they saw..
Michael McDonough’s Arc-house exhibition
Edenspace’s Hydroponic Butter Lettuce
The Poweraware Cord
A view down to the Nextfest floor.
Of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play “Brain-Ball“! Here’s Jill and Celine duking it out WITH THEIR MINDS!
