frontwheeldrive.com: peter lunenfeld interview
Lunenfeld talks about what he calls Vapour Theory: where people get caught up in the hype about the possibilities of a new technology or medium to the point that they lose sight of its actualities. He uses VR and the .com boom and bust to illustrate his point, but notes that “Often, it’s after the general public’s attention has been raised and then dashed that artists, technologists, and yes, even entrepreneurs, can go back into the wreckage and make interesting, even lasting interventions.”
