Quando a responsável pela arquitetura e design no Museu de Arte Moderna (MoMA) anunciou a aquisição de 14 jogos de vídeo em 2012, "começou o inferno." Nesta conversa divertida, de longo alcance e profundamente esclarecedora, Paola Antonelli explica porque adora desafiar as ideias pré-concebidas sobre arte e galerias, e descreve o seu desejo ardente de ajudar a estabelecer uma compreensão mais ampla do design.

Porque comprei o Pac-Man para o MoMA

Design shapes every part of daily life, from fonts to furniture to the interactive world of video games. When a major museum added Pac-Man and Tetris to its collection, critics erupted, confusing design with art and missing the deeper point. Selecting and preserving these games required careful criteria and years of research, highlighting interaction design as central to our cultural identity. This bold move expands the definition of what museums can honor, inviting audiences to see design everywhere.
