New Order Show in MoMA
The New Order show in MoMA right now is what Chris wants to bring us to for the field trip. Luckily I got this chance to watch it this weekend (as well as all the extremely beautiful Matisse works), and no worry, you guys can check the installation pictures online!
The "New" order refers to the order of art in the digital world, and definitely technology has not only changed the media of the art but also the way it created.
This picture of installation is from MoMA and the name of the project is Skittles (2014). Fifteen different smoothies flavors line the shelves of Kline's light box-encased commercial refrigerator. Each bottle lists the unorthodox ingredients contained within, including latex gloves, octopus ink, Ritalin, and fragments of Google Glass eyewear. These high-tech materials, synthetic chemicals, and organic substances evoke specific locations as well as contemporary lifestyles, industries, and brands. With titles like "Big Data" and "Supplements", the indigestible "drinks" in this glowing cooler make plain the ways in which our bodies have been engineered, chemically altered, and transformed by technologies of consumption.
