The scenius
Seeing this concept flourishing in Farcaster is both a fascinating promise, a joy, and a sense of accomplishment. Not for me, but for an artist I admire.
The concept of scenius was invented by Brian Eno, the creator of ambient music and a pioneer of generative art.
It is a combination of the words “scene” and “genius.” The idea is that major changes, such as famous works of art, are often the result of a group of people at a given moment in time, whose ideas influence each other and generate a loop of innovation that leads to historic advances.
We can say that the scenius is the creative intelligence of a community.
I also see this idea as an act of conceptual art that is succeeding in transforming our vision of reality.
Cheers to all artists, builders and thinkers that make the scenius vibrant.
