Wilson at the March 2007 Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) Conference where his 'wish' of creating the Encyclopedia of Life was awarded the TED Prize.  Avenue A | Razorfish took on the conceptual design of the website, its promotional video, and the design of the temporary website pro-bono; assembling a team of 7 designers to complete the task in 3 weeks.
