Not all works of art came at the end of the exhibition Design and the Elastic Mind held from February 4 to May 12 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In fact, the opera "victimless Leather, a small jacket made from mouse embryonic stem cells, the nutrients have been removed because it was growing too fast! Artists Oron Catts and Zurr Ionat tell how their work was fed by a tube but having grown up too hastily clogged his apparatus of incubation only five weeks of the installation!
However, the exhibition organized by Paola Antonelli, has found great success (click here to read the reviews). Of particular interest, as stated in the site, the Design for Debate a new practice that devises ways to discuss the social, cultural and ethical issues of emerging technologies by presenting scenarios not only artifacts but also questions that accompany them. These porgetti blatantly put human beings at the center of the universe and search for a consideration of scientific and technological progress while respecting and preserving our essence as individuals.
No doubt a show rich and interesting, and innovative. It is just bitter and disillusioned, another example of brain drain from our country: Paola Antonelli, it is Italian.
