MOMA show

I went to see the MOMA show Design and the Elastic Mind, I found it overall quite a good show, although I did feel that as the MOMA tends to do they lumped art and design together based on something random in this case technology.  My favorite pieces were Troika piece titled Newton Virus, in which a virus is inserted into a laptop and it causes the Mac user’s interface to fall down and be subjected to Newton’s theory of gravity.  It’s almost a one liner but it’s funny so it gets away with a lot in my book.  On the other hand I felt Simon Haldane Lightweeds was more of a commentary how we experience nature these days and how little of it is real. Lightweeds is a living piece of art they grow indoors but rely on the sun and rain in the real world to do so.  I also enjoyed Flight Patterns by Aaron Koblin it’s an animated piece which documents the flight pattern for domestic flights in a 24-hour span.
