PHOTOS: The wild world of art meets connected devices

July 23, 2011

The Museum of Modern Art in New York will open up an exhibit about the art of connected devices, called Talk to Me, on Sunday. It’s got around 200 pieces that are anywhere from thought-provoking, to weird, to beautiful, to hilarious. (I posted some of the more sustainable-oriented ones here).

Flip through the slide show below to see pieces like a choking cell phone, a sneezing radio, the Avatar Machine, anonymous peer-to-peer sharing USB ports injected into walls, and an expressions dispatcher to help aid your emotions in the age of reliance on digital screens.
