I've never done tai chi, but from what I gather its movements are slow, flowing and graceful. Tensegrity on the other hand, has many quick striking movements, perhaps closer to kung fu than tai chi.

Taijiquan can be done with exploding power, too. The movements you usually see are in slow motion, but the martial applications are lightning speed. The same movements, different speed. Don't get fooled!

Kung fu... which style are you speaking of? There are like 10,000 of them. Some also train in slow motion as a part of their training. Some Japanese martial arts do so as well. You increase speed when you've really learned the form and can be sure you do it properly and don't just try to hide your mistakes behind speed (and possibly break yourself and/or your training partner).

Tensegrity is about causing an effect on yourself, on your luminous being. The speed and the nature of movements in Tensegrity practice are dictated by different things. You're not doing techniques against an opponent, so the question of speed rests on different matters. Besides, there are also some series of Tensegrity that are slow and restful by nature. Just think about Wheel of Time, Mapping the Body and the Running Man, for example. And you can do all the movements with different types of intensity. This has been exercised in the seminars and workshops as well.
