There are no comments on this? Will Wright even demonstrates Spore, and there are still no comments? What's wrong with you people?

Ulrich Obrist's is just a lot of aphorisms on "the future". Oh, and interview marathons centred around "architecture without meaning" which somehow involved "a protest against forgetting"-- as a way to innovate conference technique in ways similar to changes in exhibition space in the 20th century. Or something like that.

Wait, does this mean we have to wait another 5 years for Spore?
