Connecting creative minds at MIT💡

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For the past six weeks, MIT has been the place I call home. Huge thanks to the Department of Art, Culture and Technology (ACT) for housing me as a Visiting Postdoc, and to my great hosts Gediminas Urbonas and Tobias Putrih.

Thanks to Zach Lieberman for letting me join your Future Sketches coding and drawing class at MIT Media Lab, to Svetlana Boriskina for opening the doors to your META lab and letting me weave with your incredible fibers, and to Jordan Cox and Connor Moorman from MIT.nano for guiding my X-ray studies and scans of orchids and silver crystals—opening portals to entirely new dimensions.

It’s been an incredible journey through cleanrooms and laboratories, museums and studios. Thanks to everyone I met on the way. May our paths cross again soon!

Today we visited the @mitmuseum @cambridgemass for free thanks to @mitfuturefest. Tomorrow is the last day, but you can always visit the museum any time it’s open. I enjoyed the mix of art & science. The A.I. exhibit was interesting and we spent a lot of time in the ocean exhibit. Tomorrow will also be the family-friendly science carnival for #MITFutureFest. Head to #Cambridge if you’re looking for something to do. #TripIdeasByAmyBoston

Don’t worry, that music isn’t just in your head! Check out jam_bot in the lobby of the MIT Museum, now through October 13.

jam_bot is an AI musical partner created by Grammy-winning keyboardist, composer, and technologist @jcrudess in collaboration with the Responsive Environments Group at @mitmedialab .

jam_bot listens, responds, and creates with musicians in real time—a whole new kind of live musical improvisation. Try it for yourself!

CAST Distinguished Visiting Artist Jordan Rudess will perform two concerts with jam_bot during MIT Future Fest on Saturday, October 3. The 5 pm performance is included with an MIT Future Fest pass, and individual tickets for both performances are also available for those without a pass. Visit arts.mit.edu for more 🎶

As part of the inaugural MIT Future Fest (@mitfuturefest), Kahlil Joseph and the “BLKNWS” team have created a new edition of “BLKNWS®,” featuring conversations with members of the MIT community filmed on campus in August 2026.

Bringing together scholars, scientists, artists, and thinkers from across the Institute, Joseph’s MIT Edition asks what it means to imagine the future from one of the world’s most consequential research communities, and what the intersection of Black intellectual life, technology, and cultural imagination looks like when given a platform at MIT.

Learn more on our website and visit the List Center atrium through Sunday, October 4, 2026 to view the work in person.

Excited to be speaking this Saturday at MIT Future Fest @mitfuturefest

The Body Reimagined: When Anatomy Becomes a Site of Design

Part of a new five-day festival exploring the intersections of design, science, and technology — and the next era of human understanding.

A question at the center of my work: what happens when embodiment itself becomes a site of design?

I’ll be in conversation with Hugh Herr @hugh.herr Professor at the MIT Media Lab, moderated by Paola Antonelli @paolantonelli Senior Curator of Architecture & Design and Director of R&D at MoMA.

From bionics and neural interfaces to new morphologies, embodied architectures, and nonhuman forms of embodiment.

The conversation is part of the public opening of MIT’s new Metropolitan Warehouse and of MIT Future Fest, led by the MIT Museum @mitmuseum in collaboration with MIT Technology Review @technologyreview and MIT Morningside Academy for Design @mitdesignacademy .

Saturday, October 3rd, 1:15pm ET • MET Warehouse
