He seems to talk about things, objects, shapes, forms, etc as if they are mostly detached from the polysemic nature of language. Perhaps that's why everything seems unfamiliar and alien-like....until the last few minutes when everything digressed into koons-esque techno-kitsch, which really made me appreciate the purity of the alien shapes. But arent these alien shapes really just the result of the latest technology, if so, I suspect in the next decade a lot of this will seem "dated".

@xpez If you watch folds, blobs, and boxes Lynn actually says that digital architecture is at the stage of the blobby ford taurus of the mid 90's. so, hes aware. I agree too, a lot of what he is proposing and doing is lacking in the concept area and heavy on the 'look what we can do'.
