The NY Times is raving about a new show, calling it “exhilarating,” at the Museum of Modern Art.

The exhibition titled “Design and the Elastic Mind” has a breathtaking opening sequence. A can of spray paint is moved by pulleys and cables in front of a blank wall. Guided by a computer, the can moves methodically the spell out the show’s title. The show outlines how art can switch from atoms to cities, from historical to modern.

As revolutionary in its own way as MoMA’s “Machine Art” exhibition of 1934, which introduced Modern design to a generation of Americans, the exhibition is packed with individual works of sublime beauty. Like that earlier show, it is shaped by an unwavering faith in the transformative powers of technology. Yet the exhibition’s overarching theme, the ability to switch fluidly from the scale of the atom to the scale of entire cities, may sound a death knell for the tired ideological divides of the last century, between modernity and history, technology and man, individual and collective. It should be required viewing for anyone who believes that our civilization is heading back toward the Dark Ages. (nytimes)
