Design and the Elastic Mind

This exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments to human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use. The site features 300 works, including fifty projects that were not included in the exhibition, all accessible from a single page interface. Lines connecting works by related tags allow for freeflowing exploration, while thematic groupings create an underlying structure. The site was conceived of as another work in the exhibition rather than an accompanying resource.
