Google Glass is the lead sponsor for the 2015 New Museum Triennial

Via the EVG inbox ... from the New Museum at 235 Bowery...

The New Museum announced today that Google Glass will be the Lead Sponsor of the 2015 Triennial exhibition. The Triennial, a signature initiative of the New Museum, is the only recurring exhibition in New York City devoted to international, emerging artists. The Triennial provides an important platform for a new generation that is shaping the current discourse of contemporary art and the future of culture around the world.

The 2015 Triennial will open next February 2015 and will occupy the entire Museum ...

As part of this partnership, the New Museum will launch a visitor engagement app using Google Glass. The New Museum will introduce Glassware that enhances visitor engagement at the Triennial and enables the public to share their experiences.

How would this not cause serious vision damage with extended use? Having a brightly lit screen an inch away from one eye only? But, hey, if the FDA says it's cool...
