Encompassing over 200 individual exhibits, in the late Summer early Fall of 2011, the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, New York put on a new, technology-charged exhibit called "Talk to Me: Design and the Communication Between People and Objects". From herding robots around the permanent collections to playing video games that are broadcast onto televisions in the main lobby of the museum, the creative team at MoMA is attempting to push the envelope of the relationship between art and technology.
Personally, I feel as if the museum is trying to hard and losing sight of the "art" within their exhibits. While yes, the museum's mission is to focus on the innovative, modern art of the new age, is chasing robots and playing video games really instilling this message into visitors? Or is it merely a time of the visitor being able to play throughout the galleries like a child in a toy store? To me, it seems to dumb down art to try and draw in the masses by flashing lights and electric-powered gizmos.
