Cambridge (MA), May 23, 2014.
Everyone involved in technology and innovation know that the Temple, by definition, is the MIT Media Lab. Just go to 75 Amherst St
Cambridge, MA, come and visit. Everything is completely open, transparent. Hundreds of people who work, discuss, produce, in an almost infinite series of workshops open only divided by glass walls. On the ground floor greets me an exhibition about the project in architecture still under construction. You climb with a spectacular glass elevator that runs silently in the large entrance hall and on each floor are indicated laboratories of all types: Affective Computing, Biomechatronics, Camera Culture, Changing Places, Civic Media, Cognitive Machines, Design Fictions, Fluid Interfaces, High-Low Tech, Human, Dynamics, Information Ecology, Lifelong Kindergarten, Macro Connections, Mediated Matter, Molecular Machines, Object-Based Media, Opera of the Future, Personal Robots, Payful Systens, Responsive Environments, Social Computing, Software Agents, Speech + Mobility, Synthetic Neorobiology, Tangible Media, Viral Spaces. Hundreds, thousands of patents a year are produced by this structure and invade the world through production chains and technology transfer that include these inventions in all domestic appliances, office, small towns that we use every day. I wanted to document the encounter and the visit to the Media Lab with a photo essay that illustrates the extraordinary effervescence of this structure.
