The Architecture and Design department of the Museum of Modern Art is pleased to present the Talk to Me: A Symposium, a series of discussions and presentations by designers, thinkers and writers within and outside of the current exhibition.
...whether openly and actively or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us, and whether tangible and intangible, and at all scales—from a spoon to the city, the government, and the Web, and from buildings to communities, social networks, systems, and artificial worlds—they communicate.

The event kicks off on the evening of Tuesday, October 18, with a keynote address by "our [Paola Antonelli & the Design Department's] idols, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich of WNYC's Radiolab, the famed radio show that celebrates curiosity and ingenuity, in complete and glorious disregard of prejudice and disciplinary boundaries."
