Design and the Elastic Mind

I went to this exhibit at the MoMA today. It was fantastic. I highly recommend that everyone take a look at it. If you can't make it to the museum, take a look at the online exhibits which are also interesting, though seeing them all in person adds a good bit of context. Some of these things are not as original as others. For example, the Painstation is a rip off of James Bond in Never Say Never Again. But, for the most part, these are some really cool ideas (along with a lot of absolutely certifiable ones)

Some recs: LASER TAG, Sketch Furniture, Flight Patterns and Dressing the Meat of Tommorrow

It also reminded me of a design competition that I had read about. This other exhibit was focused on sustainable gadgets. I thought these were really cool, and am ready to buy myself one of these lamps. These other entries are also really cool.

Anyways, take a look at those, and let me know if you've read anything else cool about how we might be living with technology in the future. And if you get to the MoMA (or the website) let me know what exhibits did you find most interesting.
