|
|
| A new video "traces the technical process behind 'Remembering the Future,' the woven work by Janet Echelman at the MIT Museum." The piece, which was developed during Echelman's MIT Center for Arts, Science, and Technology residency in collaboration with Associate Professor Caitlin Mueller, "uses braided fibers to translate climate data into a suspended artwork." The museum operates, in the words of MIT Museum Director Michael John Gorman, as "a playground for ideas, as a living lab." |

| | | | In this episode of the Chalk Radio podcast from MIT OpenCourseWare, host Sarah Hansen talks with MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, head of the MIT Department of Economics, about how his passion for health care drives his work in the field. He describes how people are using basic models of economics in everyday life without knowing it, trade-offs and opportunity costs, as well as the role of AI in the economy. |
