On April 27th at 6pm at the 50 Water St showroom, join Inform for a talk from Senior Curator of the Department of Architecture & Design as well as the Director of R&D at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Paola Antonelli.
A designer today can choose to focus on interaction, interfaces, the web, visualization, socially minded infrastructures, immersive spaces, biodesign, sustainability, video games, critical scenarios, and, yes, even products and furniture. A remarkable thinker on design, Antonelli explores these recent innovations, which draw on past pioneers in the field, in order to expand our understanding of the fundamental role of design in contemporary culture.
