These twisted steel branches are part of Roxy Paine's 'Maelstrom' exhibition at the Met in New York. It's a post-apocalyptic landscape of sorts, a twisted web of manmade branches that extends across the museum's rooftop and forces visitors to navigate their way through the installation as they might a dense forest.
Be sure to check out the video above for the Met's installation footage of Roxy Paine's 'Maelstrom.' The exhibition will run through October 25.
Implications - Recently, the related ideas of dystopian and post-apocalyptic design have taken off. Whether it's a comment on society's current trajectory or not, people find it fascinating. With this in mind, companies that produce content of a dystopian flavor will find that it touches a nerve with people and their wallets.
