Talk to Me explores the communication between people and things. All objects contain information that goes well beyond their immediate use or appearance. In some cases, objects like cell phones and computers exist to provide us with access to complex systems and networks, behaving as gateways and interpreters. Whether openly and actively, or in subtle, subliminal ways, things talk to us, and designers help us develop and improvise the dialogue.
Se Manhattan fosse mais perto dava lá um pulo.
Porque é mesmo interessante ver como em tão pouco tempo, tantos novos meios, e alguns abstractos há 5 anos, hoje são possíveis.
E claro com toda a ajuda dos designers que tornam a comunicação muito mais natural (digo eu).
Tambem curto muito o site e o registo continuo que eles fizeram. Apesar de, como dizes, fisicamente nao ser acessivel, o site tem alto conteudo e apanha muito bem os projectos
em 2008 houve esta exposiçao, tambem da Paola Antonelli:

E muito da mesma onda, e tambem vale muito a pena dar uma vista de olhos.
o catalogo da exposiçao (da irma boom) esta muito fixe tambem

The Archigram Archival Project (AAP) is a purely digital resource, displaying digital versions of works held in many different collections. The main collections are the Archigram Archive, held and run by Dennis Crompton and the Ron Herron Archive, held and run by Simon Herron, but work from other personal Archigram collections and public collections has also been made available through this current project.
Almost 10,000 items are included in this archive, including digital versions of drawings, collages, paintings, photographs, magazines, articles, slides and multi-media material, accompanied by original texts by Archigram wherever these are available. Around half of these items belong to the 202 projects currently listed and given project numbers by Dennis Crompton in the Archigram Archives. The rest are supporting and contextual material such as letters, photos, texts and additional projects provided by the depositors.
The AAP focuses on the main Archigram period of 1961-1974, but includes all the projects, both before and after these dates, which have been included in the project list of the Archigram Archives at the time of doing the project. The main omissions from the Archigram Archival Project website are the films, television programmes and audio-visual material which for technical or copyright reasons cannot be included at this stage. Some projects and project material have been lost over the years; both we and Archigram members would welcome approaches from anyone holding material or copies of material which is not included here.
