Through May 12 a must see exhibition will be displayed at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). Perfectly Curated by Paola Antonelli, the exhibition The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use.
The spectacular Web site http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2008/elasticmind/# presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition.
As Paola Antonelli says in her essay "the exploration of the promising relationship between science and design is of particular relevance. While technology still traditionally acts as the interface, the conversation between design and science has become more direct and focused. What the computer has done for designers, the nanoscale is doing for scientists: It is giving them a whole new taste of the power of unobstructed design and manufacture (...) Nanotechnology, in particular, offers the promise of the principle of self-assembly and self-organization that one can find in cells, mole cules, and galaxies; the idea that you would need only to give the components of an object a little push for the object to come together and reorganize in different configurations could have profound impli - cations for the environment, including energy and material savings."
The prototipe image of the new Nokia Morph mobile phone is an example of how nanotech. will change the design of our life.
