Check out the mit media laboratory aesthetics + computation group –
there are some groovy spatial experiments going on. benjamin fry’s genome browser
explores urban topographies through the human genome, while afsheen rais-rohani explores modulating architectural surfaces. [ check it ]
All of the media lab’s explorations are pretty damn groovy. I saw John Maeda speak when I worked in San Francisco, and it was a fascinating
hour lecture and following exhibition. [After that we did a Mission Crawl – but
that is a whole ‘nother story] If you have a few hours to burn, there is a great deal of interesting projects
that the students at MIT are doing at this time.
