Monday in New York

Monday in New York museums are open, and I took the opportunity to see my cousin Nick who has been touring the country, but happened to be in New York coincidentally. This trip was full of coincidences.

At MoMA one of the special exhibits was a rain room. Wherever you stepped, the rain suddenly wasn't there, they warned that you might slightly wet, but after two days of getting rained on, this really didn't really sound appealing to me. Especially a 2+ hour wait. I am too old to wait 2+ hours to get slightly rained on. No thanks.

I did however want to see the Applied Design exhibit. 

What the heck is applied design? I know you had  that question.

I guess the best way to answer that question is to tell you what I saw.
Artfully designed chairs made from unlikely materials
A rolling giant ball made from big plungers that rollover and detonate undetonated mines 
A visualization of the internet
Tetris, super mario brothers
A machine that makes pottery out of sand using sunlight

I don't know if that explains it, but i hope it does. 

This is a chair
