Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA, speaks with The Creator's Project about her upcoming show Talk to Me, exploring the fundamentals of communication between people and objects. Talk to Me opens at the MoMA July 2011.
Antonelli is one of the foremost authorities on the relationship between design, creativity, science and technology. Her 2008 show Design and the Elastic Mind forever changed the way we think about design's place in our world and our lives, and deepened our understanding of the symbiotic relationship between science and design. In Talk to Me, Antonelli seeks to explore how technology is redefining the ever-evolving relationship between people and objects. Technology is humanizing objects, and designers are acting as intermediaries, helping us interpret technology and translate it into a language that we can more intuitively understand.
