Design and the Elastic Mind
MOMA have established a seriously inspiring online exhibition to accompany ‘Design and the Elastic Mind‘. It explores the impact that technology, science and (increasingly) digital media has had on all aspects of design, from visualisation to bio-mimicry.
The interface is richly packed with content and whilst I found it a bit hard to navigate at first, once I let myself wander around the site as if in a real-world museum, the process of discovery took me on a very enjoyable journey. Every exhibit I visit is joined to the next with a line, looping across the index to show me what I’ve looked at. There are 300 projects on display online, which is 50 more than the physical exhibition.
It’s hard to pick a favourite, but after my journey on the tube this morning, I think I have to go for the Flyhead Helmet from the Environmental Transformer project.
Which exhibit would you choose?
