Exhibits

Vijee Venkatraman writes for BetaBoston about the "Local Warming" exhibit developed by the MIT SENSEable City Lab. The system uses a WiFi-based tracking system that follows people and provides local heating through lamps.

Boston Globe reporter Cate McQuiad writes about “Vocal Vibrations,” the musical installation and exhibit featuring works by MIT Professors Tod Machover and Neri Oxman. “I was interested in a space where the music and the environment is very soft. To allow the general public to be directly involved in making music,” explains Machover. 

Boston Globe reporter Cate McQuaid writes about the growing popularity of performance art at Boston-area museums, highlighting the MIT List Visual Arts Center’s long tradition of presenting the medium. “But the List, at an institution as forward-thinking as MIT, is exceptional,” writes McQuaid. 

Matthew Guerrieri of The Boston Globe writes about “Open Tunings,” a three-month project at the MIT List Visual Arts Center to “explore the various ways in which the ephemeral forms of sound and performance can inhabit the exhibition space.”

Cate McQuaid of The Boston Globe writes about artist Sergei Tcherepnin’s multi-sensory installation at the MIT List Visual Arts Center. The exhibit features copper sculptures that emit sound and can be interacted with.

The exhibit “features work by an international array of artists who apply such critical awareness to their art and their place in society that they keep stepping away, to reappraise and to escape labels and easy reads,” writes Cate McQuaid of the “9 Artists” exhibit at the MIT List Visual Arts Center. 

Boston Globe reporter Mark Feeney reports on “Daguerre’s American Legacy: Photographic Portraits (1840-1900) From the Wm. B. Becker Collection,” which is on display at the MIT Museum through January 4.
