Love this vocabulary. Been a fan of Eno for decades, never heard this! Ruby

In exchange for a small royalty fee, the State could provide free patent services. The royalties would affirm the existence of a collective intelligence or what the artist Brian Eno calls "scenius" from which an individual genius emerges. Brian Eno on genius vs “scenius”: What really happened was that there was sometimes very fertile scenes involving lots and lots of people – some of them artists, some of them collectors, some of them curators, thinkers, theorists, people who were fashionable and knew what the hip things were – all sorts of people who created a kind of ecology of talent. And out of that ecology arose some wonderful work. ... So I came up with this word “scenius” – and scenius is the intelligence of a whole… operation or group of people. And I think that’s a more useful way to think about culture, actually. I think that – let’s forget the idea of “genius” for a little while, let’s think about the whole ecology of ideas that give rise to good new thoughts and good new work."
