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.
