Check out the trailer for this documentary about Ray Kurzweil. Directed by Barry Ptolemy, it premiered last week at the Tribeca Film Festival.

See this work, by Carolina Vallejo entitled “Absurdables”. Obviously, I resonate with this, through the connection to my own work (using Instructables with certain projects).

Taken from literary works Absurdables play homage to writers by appropriating their work, augmenting it with pictures and comments. We create every Absurdable following the rules to create successful instructables, inserting ourselves in the community and making a parody of it.

This exhibition from 2009 represents a merger of two really wonderful things: The curatorial strategy of Dunne and Raby (focusing on critical design and the speculative) and the Science Gallery in Dublin (a museum space representing specifically work that deals in contemporary scientific issues).
