Tronic Studio is based in New York and was co-founded by Jesse Seppi & Vivian Rosenthal. Dubbed as 'visual futurists', they bring together various disciplines in the field of design, architecture and film, creating thought provoking work that goes well beyond the canons of branding and visual communication.

In this exclusive interview they explain their background in architecture and their interest in using the moving image as a means to explore the 'virtual and actual divide'. They reveal one of their latest works for the prestigious firm, Herzog + DeMeuron–a stunning 3D visualization for the future 57-story residential building to be constructed in the Tribeca area, New York.

Denver - Civic Center: Denver Art Museum - Frank Gehry's Wiggle Chair

The Wiggle Side Chair, designed by Frank O. Gehry in 1972, was manufactured by Easy Edges Inc. in New York. The chair was constructed of laminated corrugated cardboard and fiberboard, material that became popular in the 1960s as a cheap and light alternative. Gehry discovered the process of gluing layers of corrugated cardboard together to transform massive blocks into furniture. In 1972, he designed a group of low-cost, and light but surprisingly strong and comfortable, seating units called Easy Edges Furniture.

What is Modern?, a temporary exhibition on view at the Denver Art Museum through December 31, 2011, featured imaginative furniture, industrial, and graphic designs that span more than 200 years, from the early 1800s to the present day. The objects—representing a trajectory of innovative thinking and a variety of methods, materials, and concepts—explore the ways in which design has expressed the modern experience.

The Denver Art Museum, a private, non-profit museum, is known for its collection of American Indian art. Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.

In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.
