Media Lab researchers, university students from across Europe, and corporate collaborators engage in a dialogue between machines, design, and humans. What are the signals that connect us? How do we make sense of the noise? Participants will collaborate in small teams guided by Media Lab mentors and invited experts. Together, we will create new technologies and use technology in new ways to answer these questions.

Reality Editor is a new kind of tool that empowers users to connect and manipulate the functionality of physical objects. With Reality Editor, the invisible capabilities of objects become visible–and editable. Drag a virtual line from one object to another using a smartphone, and create a new relationship between them. With this simplicity, users can master the entire scope of connected objects.

On July 21, 2016 we announced the creation of a $250K cash prize award for disobedience. This idea came after a realization that there’s a widespread frustration from people trying to figure out how can we effectively harness responsible, ethical disobedience aimed at challenging our norms, rules, or laws to benefit society.

And so we begin the process of searching for the first MIT Media Lab Disobedience Award recipient. The award will go to a person or group engaged in what we believe is extraordinary disobedience for the benefit of society. Specifically, we’d like to call out action that seeks to change society in positive ways and is consistent with a set of key principles. These principles include non-violence, creativity, courage, and taking responsibility for one’s actions. We’re seeking both expected and unexpected nominees. This could include–but isn’t limited to–those engaged in scientific research, civil rights, freedom of speech, human rights, and the freedom to innovate.

How can we design relationships between the most primitive and sophisticated life forms? Can we design wearables embedded with synthetic microorganisms that can enhance and augment biological functionality? Meet Mushtari, a 3D-printed wearable designed as a 58 meter long microbial factory that uses synthetic biology to convert sunlight into useful products for humans and microbes.

Directed by architect and designer Neri Oxman, Living Mushtari was completed by the Mediated Matter group in collaboration with
Stratasys, as a part of the Wanderers collection. Will Patrick of Mediated Matter was the lead researcher on the project. Additional collaborators include Christoph Bader and Dominik Kolb; Prof. Pamela Silver and Stephanie Hays of Harvard Medical School; and Dr. James Weaver of the Harvard Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Mediated Matter researchers included: Will Patrick, Steven Keating, and Sunanda Sharma.

Holosuite is an interactive, end-to-end, 3D telepresence application built for researching the applications of holographic and advanced 3D displays. Two distant 3D worlds are merged seamlessly into one–a local user and a remote user can manipulate, co-visualize, and interact with shared 3D models in a highly realistic and immersive environment.
