Design USA, when the Ipod Touch content is better than the objects featured in the room, is it still a good “exhibition”? We should invent a new name for “that”.
Yesterday, while it was pouring as hell, I checked out Design USA: contemporary innovation at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum.
It’s like a giant “names-to-know list, so you don’t sound too stupid in posh events”.
It’s not about what you actually see in the exhibition- there are no so many objects featured. The interested part relies much more on the Ipod Touch content with many artists’ interviews and so on. Hence, my fundamental question: Should we even call that an exhibition?

(I’ll post my “best of list” as soon as I find it in my mess.)
