Keep your eyes peeled for GROW at the upcoming MoMA exhibit, Design and the Elastic Mind. The exhibit features examples of “disruptive innovation” and SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology) has accomplished just that with GROW, an ivy-like hybrid energy delivery device that provides power via the sun and wind.

MoMA’s ‘Design and the Elastic Mind‘ opens tonight with over 200 objects on display exploring the relationship between design, science and innovation. The exhibition focuses on the role of the designer to help the general public adapt and understand rapid technological advancement and the changing human condition in the contemporary world. (Whew!) Here’s the pitch:
In the past few decades, individuals have experienced dramatic changes in some of the most established dimensions of human life: time, space, matter, and individuality. Working across several time zones, traveling with relative ease between satellite maps and nanoscale images, gleefully drowning in information, acting fast in order to preserve some slow downtime, people cope daily with dozens of changes in scale. Minds adapt and acquire enough elasticity to be able to synthesize such abundance. One of design’s most fundamental tasks is to stand between revolutions and life, and to help people deal with change.
