Went to the AGO to see the Massive Change exhibit. Wicked cool stuff, lots of things to make John - who was reluctant to go at first - go oooh and aah. It focuses mainly on design as a means of developing a stable economy and society through things like effective low-cost housing, electric cars, urban planning, and so forth, in a rapidly changing world; plus it also deals with how design has affected our world. Kinda like a "ask not what design can do for you: ask what you can do for design" type of thing.
But my absolute favourite exhibit was the recyclable/biodegradable products. They had sweaters made of plastic pop bottles and a car seat made out of coconut! (Insert Gilligan's Island joke here.) I really liked the styrofoam-like food containers made of potatoes, and plastic food containers made of corn. Wish they had food containers made of steak.
I highly recommend you see this exhibit. Plus, you can take one of their free featherless chicken buttons when you're done. John and I have decided to name the chicken Colonel Mau. Not to be confused with General Mao, the Chinese communist dictato- I mean, liberator.
