And then immediately I just started working, you know, you start working in adjacent to the arts.
Kely NascimentoGUEST
And, you know, I worked at my first job out of college was at the Cooper Hewitt Museum.
Kely NascimentoGUEST
And I was working for the buyer of the Cooper Hewitt store, which was really cool because you get to curate the store for the for the every exhibit, which I thought was fascinating and really fun.
Kely NascimentoGUEST
And like that.
Oonagh MurphyGUEST
Um, so a few years ago, um, I ran a, a series called Curator, Computer, Creator.
Oonagh MurphyGUEST
And these events, we held one at the Barbican in London and one at Cooper Hewitt in, uh, New York, and we invited members of the public into a conversation about what AI might mean for their own lives.
Oonagh MurphyGUEST
And so the event we held in the Barbican, for example, was called The Long Table, and it's kind of a fac- facilitation format.
Oonagh MurphyGUEST
You have a long table, you have chairs around it.
Dan GelernterHOST
It's curious, though, because given the scope of their collection, they've done much less well than, say, the Yale Art Galleries in New Haven have a really tremendous design section.
Dan GelernterHOST
You would say that maybe you should go to the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York to see design because, after all, it's a design museum.
Dan GelernterHOST
Cooper Hewitt may be the single worst museum I've ever been, I mean, in New York at least.
Dan GelernterHOST
It's very near the bottom of the list, which is too bad because it's such a wonderful and interesting subject, and it could be the best museum if it tried, but it's not trying.
