Susana Soares - BEE’s Project - Face Object
In a reflection of our even design-driven lifestyle, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York just opened its newest exhibition last month. Titled Design and the Elastic Mind, the exhibition highlights the intricate relationship between design, science, and innovation. Over 200 objects, including 4 special commissions, created by designers, architects, engineers, and those in the science/technology field, are all on display. The exhibition is divided into 3 parts: small scale in addressing the growing interests in nano-technology. Human scale in ever blurring boundaries between human and machine. And large scale, the modern struggle of individualism and pluralism, which increase exponentially with the advent of the Internet. In conjunction with physical exhibition in New York City. MoMA launched a special website designed by Yugo Nakamura, the person behind the interactive website for Japanese apparel label Uniqlo. Desing and the Elastic Mind will be on display till May 12th.
