Description: Talk to Me explores the communication between people and things. All objects contain information that goes well beyond their immediate use or appearance. In some cases, objects like cell phones and computers exist to provide us with access to complex systems and networks, behaving as gateways and interpreters. Whether openly and actively, or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us, and designers help us develop and improvise the dialogue.

The exhibition focuses on objects that involve a direct interaction, such as interfaces, information systems, visualization design, and communication devices, and on projects that establish an emotional, sensual, or intellectual connection with their users. Examples range from a few iconic products of the late 1960s to several projects currently in development—including computer and machine interfaces, websites, video games, devices and tools, furniture and physical products, and extending to installations and whole environments.

The Department of Architecture and Design is documenting the process of organizing Talk to Me from its early stages through its opening in July 2011 and beyond via an online journal. The site features projects we are currently studying and some we have already selected, along with relevant references and feedback and suggestions from designers and writers. Since we always cast our nets very wide and count on suggestions and opinions from the design community, this step comes very naturally. Besides, communication is what this exhibition is all about.

Venue Description: The Museum of Modern Art, also known as MoMA, offers a rich and panoramic view into modern art in the world. Founded in 1929, it has grown to include more than 135,000 paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, sculptures, films, and design objects. MoMA seeks to create an environment that is responsive to the issues of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public that ranges from scholars to young children.

MoMA has three restaurants on the premises: Café 2 is the museum?s sophisticated cafeteria; Terrace 5 is a full-service café; and The Modern offers the original, Alsatian-inspired cuisine of Chef Gabriel Kreuther, recently awarded three stars by The New York Times.

Museum hours: 10:30am?5:30pm daily; Friday 10:30am?8pm; closed Tuesday.

Admission: $25; $18 seniors; $14 students; free for children younger than 16. Tickets may be purchased online for a discounted price.
