Design and The Elastic Mind

I can’t get to New York to see the MoMA’s Design and the Elastic Mind though I can access the impressive website and I have interviewed the curator.
Reading through the site and my notes on the interview led me to the Scripted by Purpose, a design blog and there was a post by Aranda/Lasch. Aranda/Lasch are architects but the blog post I hit upon as soon as I got there was on the photography of snow flakes. Well, you can sense already the intrigue.
Here is a snowflake. Beautiful I’m sure you will agree.
And the minds behind Aranda/Lasch must be beautiful too. One of their exhibits is this - Rules of Six.
It seems to be an experiment in generative structures using an algorithm that…. I shouldn’t pretend to know.

This is one of the most mindful and mind expansive exhibits I have seen in a long time. I have been there three times and I can say without a doubt I have left feeling a bit different each time. Many would consider this exhibition to be more scientific than art centered but I gotta tell you the curators here have bridged the gap between art and science in a most beautiful and eloquent way. Its great, after having seen a show, to want to learn more about it and its fun when you catch yourself in deep thought because you find yourself exploring more of these possibilities. This show is expansive on many levels and folks thats always a good thing.
