Design Happenings

Upcoming design related events in NYC

• IOT/NYC Water Hackathon
  Friday, March 23rd to Sunday, March 4th

  Come hack water with Pachube, Ushahidi, DontFlush.Me, and PublicLaboratory.org. We will be exploring how we can build our own investigative tools, create rugged sensors that can survive in the water for at least 1 month, connect real-time data and citizen observed reports with a Pachube<->Ushahidi linkup, crowdsource water quality information, and generally create systems that engage people with their waterways here in NYC.

  We will start with an evening mixer on Friday night to form groups and talk about projects, hack through Saturday and Sunday, and show our work in a public session on Sunday afternoon.

  For those of you with existing tools or strategies that could be useful, please tell us about it in the comments below, and come with a short IGNITE talk to give Friday night.

• Print/Out
  Through May 14

  Over the last two decades, geopolitical borders have shifted and new technologies have forged channels of communication around the world. Printed materials, in both innovative and traditional forms, have played a key role in this exchange of ideas and sources. This exhibition examines the evolution of artistic practices related to the print medium, from the resurgence of traditional printmaking techniques—often used alongside digital technologies—to the proliferation of self-published artists’ projects. Bringing together some 70 series or projects drawn substantially from MoMA’s extensive collection of prints and books, with the addition of several important loans, the exhibition features major artists and publishing projects, such as Ai Weiwei, Trisha Donnelly, Martin Kippenberger, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Lucy McKenzie, Aleksandra Mir, Museum in Progress, Edition Jacob Samuel, Thomas Schütte, SUPERFLEX, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Christopher Wool, among many others.
