The idea of the Santa Fe Complex was to bring together artistically inclined scientists and scientifically inclined artists to collaborate, with the idea of generating ideas or projects that would attract contracts, business and private funding.
Some of the projects that the complex has highlighted in the past included helping Venice, Italy, minimize wake damage in its canals; a high-tech sand box used to simulate wildfires; a project that helped San Francisco track young people in the mental health system and a plan to help the military deal with parts replacement on the battlefield.
This is simple insanity.
Sounds like junior high science fair projects.
