“Design: If it’s well done, it’s an emotional experience.” Dubai’s Museum of the Future’s Brendan McGetrick on technology and curiosity as human experiences.

The Lighthouse Conversations with Hashem Montasser

Our guest this week is Brendan McGetrick, internationally renowned writer, curator, and the creative director of Dubai’s Museum of the Future. Hashem and Brendan chat about how his early days in journalism with renowned architect Rem Koolhaas kick started a long standing interest in design and culture. They also delve into the philosophy of 1960s psychedelic culture, what technology means to our collective experience, why curiosity is our most valuable human trait and how Brendan’s work provides ways for museum visitors to access the hope within.
