Paola Antonelli 1: Treat design as art


Paola Antonelli at TED2007
Treat design as art  (transcript)
Summary
I thought why the speaker has collected many funny types of furniture and equipment.
In fact, she has been a design curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art which is very famous. It seems to be called MoMA that means The Museum of Modern Art and to work as a shop to develop and collect modernist art.
Thus I thought that she said that she discovered that she was much more comfortable with objects than with people and she has to face high level designed objects every day. She told us about design hard.
We, people, think that "design" has to have high quality and luxury. It's used expensive materials like we can't use.
However, "design" should be very familiar. The arms are to make things better and to answer human needs.
In this generation, we can think that good design lead us to better lives with low prices.
Around us, there must be the very small things that design makes those very big and meaningful. It works not only on objects but also on behavior.
The speaker tells us that this is the design treating as art.
Nevertheless, the New York's Museum of Modern Art is too famous and too high for us to imagine that there are things that we can use.
Additionally, what more surprises me is that there is the shop: MoMa in Tokyo, Japan also. This has been a first overseas store. I will go there immediately.

P.S. I think that Japanese translation in this TED talk is a mistake about the contemporary art and the modern art.
