i went to see bruce mau's massive change at the art gallery of ontario. admission is $18, but if you show your amex card, you get 2 free tickets. seeing this exhibit for free is worth it, but i would be hard pressed to justify paying $18 to see it. massive change is an interesting collection of ideas on how to use technology and how it effects the way we live. don't expect to see anything mind blowing or even memorable, but the white room covered in photos might come close. any engineer would enjoy it... they have a display of the progression of segway prototypes and a display of
old computing devices. there is a section on new materials, biotechnology, nano technolgy, basically every option in eng sci. massive change could be called an artistic version of the ontario science center. all things considered - including the free admission - 6.5/10

i also liked the photo room..but i found the collection to contain to many words. just look at the entrance to the whole exhibit the first thing you see is a wall of words. its almost a turn off. i find that its basically pages of his book on a wall. but the idea behind the whole thing is pretty good...
