Paola Antonelli on MoMA, video games and catching the waves of life

On Design with Justyna Green

Paola Antonelli is the senior curator at The Museum of Modern Art in the Department of Architecture & Design, as well as MoMA’s founding director of Research & Development.

In our conversation Paola discusses her role at MoMA, the current exhibition Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design and digital collections. A lovely part of our conversation is also getting to know Paola personally and learning about how her career and life choices came to be. She uses a beautiful metaphor of catching a wave which I know will resonate with you.
