The Museum of Modern Art in New York was in the news recently for acquiring the @ sign. Always a pioneer, Paola Antonelli has also recently announced their upcoming show Talk to Me which opens in July 2011. The official description says it is an "exhibition on the communication between people and objects" and that it will "feature a wide range of objects, from interfaces to products to diagrams, visualizations, perhaps even vehicles and furniture..."

What is most exciting is the way they are creating the exhibition. A full 500+ days in advance, they are utilizing the internet in an industry-leading way by soliciting projects, ideas and research to include. The entire process of curating the show is being assisted by and revealed to the public like nothing before it, all through the digital channel.

Their blog, linked above, is also an excellent gallery of the integration of digital and physical, and I expect to refer to objects I find there often.
