MIT Center for Art, Science, and Technology
The Center for Art, Science, and Technology (MIT CAST) facilitates
and creates opportunities for exchange and collaboration among
artists, engineers, and scientists. A joint initiative of the Office
of the Provost, the School of Architecture and Planning, and the
School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, the center is committed
to fostering a culture where the arts, science and technology
thrive as interrelated, mutually informing modes of exploration,
knowledge and discovery.
CAST’s activities include:
- Soliciting and supporting cross-disciplinary curricular initiatives
that integrate the arts into the core curriculum and create new
artistic work or materials, media, and technologies for artistic
expression
- Spearheading a visiting artists program that emphasizes creative
process, extensive interaction with MIT faculty, students, and researchers,
and cross-fertilization among disciplines
- Assisting in the presentation and curation of performing and
visual arts or design relevant to the research of engineers, scientists,
and the MIT community as a whole
- Disseminating the creative and intellectual production supported
by the center to the public through performances, exhibitions, installations,
and a biennial symposium
- Supporting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers whose work
advances the the mission of the center
The faculty director of CAST is Professor
