Art, Architecture and Models of Hyperbolic Energy
Erik Demaine
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
The Contemporary Geometric Beadwork (CGB) project, led by Kate McKinnon, is a global team of solvers involving hundreds of thousands of mathematical beaders around the world.
The project has published two books featuring revolutionary approaches to traditional constructions, and are about to publish a new volume demonstrating hyperbolic energy models and new approaches to growing engineering linkages.
Ten members of the GCB team will be at MIT for the entire month of January to collaborate and teach students and faculty how to create their forms and to help related their discvoeries to tother ongoing studies of topology, origami, mathematics, spiderwebs, knots, architecture and physics of energetic forms.
This will be the team's second appreance at MIT IAP.
There is no enrollment or material fee required to participate and students may drop in to any session.

Fibers are a universal material which can be formed into, among other things, clothing, tools, and structures. Knitting is a historically rich, technical tradition in which fibers are manipulated into a piece of fabric through a system of interlocking loops.
In this beginner workshop, participant will receive instruction in the core skills of knitting: casting on, basic stitches, and casting off. The workshop will mix demonstration, hands-on instruction, and on-on-one technical help. The goal is to learn the main steps of knitwear production, to acquire basic handwork skills, and to discuss next steps for continuing the craft.

We invite the MIT community to develop and fabricate interactive furniture to be installed as Pop-Up placemaking at Grove Hall, Dorchester. This will be a 4-day long furniture making workshop.
The workshop is conceived for MIT community to work on a real-time public place rejuvenation project at the city scale with local Boston residents. The site for the workshop is located in the Dorchester neighborhood at Grove Hall. A little-used lot opposite to the Boston Public Library, Grove Hall Branch has been selected to be converted as a park by the City of Boston in partnership with the Trust for Public Land. The site is in close proximity to a Senior Center, a High School and a Shopping Center. The conversion process will take 3 to 4 years. In the interim, PLA.CE! Is engaged in designing Pop-Up activities and events, including developing Pop-Up public furniture for the lot.

Play has been studied as a very powerful and engaging activity with a lot of benefits. In this class, we will explore the idea of playful design, trying to come up with prototypes demonstrating new forms of play.
During this class, you will learn more about play. What is it? What makes that activity so engaging? Is play a dedicated activity for childhood?
Together, we will explore the idea of playful objects. What makes a design playful? How can you do it? You will experiment and discover guidelines to design with the idea of play.
This class is a 3-Day workshop dedicated to playful design. Making, ideating, exchanging and exploring are the main activities that we will do in the class.
We will explore playful design through 2 thematics :
Playful Office Supplies
Office supplies can be very boring, mostly functional and not necessarily very user friendly. However, there are quite common material that we use regularly. How might we design office supplies that create playful experiences?
Creativity Room Objects
A creativity room is a space to get inspiration, start using your imagination and design something creative. Creativity rooms are usually very nice spaces, but they have a lack of identity and of tools to guide people. How might we design playful objects that enhance an experience in a creativity room?

Robot Painting
Sang-won Leigh
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Limited to 8 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Fee: $110.00
for Materials
In this class hosted by ArtMatr, students will explore creative painting processes using ArtMatr’s oil-based printing system. The goal of this course is to expose the students to a robotic means of painting and exploration in both technical and artistic directions.
Students will have access to conventional drawing software such as Photoshop as well as programming environments in Processing, Javascript, and potentially more for controlling the system. ArtMatr will provide a printing system for the students to share.
Students are encouraged to closely exchange ideas with peers and form collaborative projects. Expected outcomes include artworks made using the system, script-based generative painting, and mechanical hacks for interesting effects – but not limited to those.
The course will be led by Sang-won Leigh, a recent PhD graduate from the MIT Media Lab and current head designer at ArtMatr.
There will also be guest lectures by Matthew Ritchie (MIT Visiting Artist), Eric Fischl, and Barnaby Furnas.
This class is only open for MIT undergraduate and graduate students.

What is the link between outer space technology and the sex industry when Las Vegas strippers accept online Bitcoin payment via QR Tattoos?
Adaptive Actions (AA) is looking for new contributions for its online platform and upcoming publication. In preparation for AA's Space and the City Camp (MIT campus April 2019), we are hosting a brainstorming session in order to gather the urbano-space enthusiasts on campus.
Cities are designed using some of the most creative and revolutionary science and technology. Outer space science and technology plays a central role in the design and development of urban, architectural and transportation systems yet its impact often goes unnoticed. For instance, satellite technology is used to track movement of bodies and goods and to predict urban forecast. GPS are used daily by urban dwellers to orient their mobility. Aerospace techniques are used to design buildings and transportation systems. Urban infrastructures are thus in close connection with the space industry. They are also in relation with outer space’s extreme and adverse conditions (imposed movement, uniformization, hyper acceleration, increased precarity and divisions). How can we resist the impact of space technology and invent productive tools to shape our cities.
Join us at Space and the City to brainstorm/discuss/speculate/invent alternate modes of urban inhabitation informed by the power of outer space technology on urban infrastructures.

Synthesizing Human and Robot Movements for Art Production
Seth Riskin, Manager, MIT Museum Studio
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: none
During this five-afternoon workshop participants will be introduced to the creative misuse of an industrial, six-axis robot arm. After initial hardware and software tutorials, participants will have an open-ended opportunity to explore the artistic possibilities—painting, drawing, light art—afforded by a Universal Robots UR5 in the MIT Museum Studio/Compton Gallery 10-150.
A selection of physical and digital tools developed by Artmatr, an international community of artists and engineers working to merge digital technology with traditional painting methods, will be provided. Participants will also be encouraged to develop their own tools or modify those given. Experience in computer programming is helpful but not required. Attendance at all five-afternoon workshops is recommended for full engagement with the toolset.
Enrollment in the workshop will be capped at 12 to allow for all participants to have time to produce work with the UR5.
