The Design Now exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt features scores of artists and design firms, some well known, with the main question of this being how does design affect our lives in contemporary society. I think the visuals offered in the exhibition gave a pretty decent look into this issue.
Overall the show was nice. I was particularly attracted to the magazine display, especially one done by the company Make Magazine, designed by O'Reilly Media and focuses exclusively on increasing your hands-on skills through detailed do-it-yourself projects (mostly electronics related devices).
The exhibition's works for the most part stayed within the realms of graphic design, product design, digitial media, & architecture. Other sections of the exhibit that grabbed my attention were the refugee tents, the IDEO Kidney Transporter, Google Interactive Maps, the NASA Research robot, kidrobot & of course the Joshua Davis drawings.
One quirk I had w/ the show, the annoying security guards and the fact that you couldn't take pics. Other than that, good show.
