Hey, during my study break this am I was looking at the MoMA website and I found so many interesting things. They have this exhibit called SAFE: design takes on.....something I can't remember right now, but it is really good way to waste a couple of hours because afterwards you can rationalize the whole thing by telling yourself, well, I'm just so artsy and cool and my soul probably needed that.
These are stuffed animals that represent different microbes. The grey one is a dust mite, the fringey one has something to do with GI distress, etc.
My first thought was "wow how cool" and my second one was, "what kind of people buy stuff like this?" and then I became embarrassed and looked at something else.
I didn't look at the whole website but my favorite stuff was by a guy named Matthiew Lehaunner. He's in the Objets Therapeutiques section...he has these ideas about the experience of taking antibiotics that are really fascinating. If you look at it, also check out the urban shelters section. I'd post the link but I'm too lazy and I'm sick of this for now.
One other thing I'm trying not to waste time on right now: the Ricky Gervais podcasts.
