Art is engineering
From Berlin, to LA, to Japan...just travel and pay attention
Art has changed. It is no longer just the way we have expected it to be – provocative, beautiful or both. Art has been bestowed with high tech engineering over the last half century and suddenly this technology has changed fundamentally what art could be and of course the way we see it.

From Alessi kitchen gadgets to the latest Aston Martin the idea of art and beauty is married to high tech performance. Art, with engineering as its companion, allows for innovation to not lose its sense of beauty.
