Mitchell, Director ? MIT Design Laboratory, MIT Media Lab Smart Cities Group To what extent can Digital Design impact society and the built environment as we conceive and experience it? And, how do current digital methodologies enable architects, engineers, and visionaries to achieve their ideas in ways that differ significantly from those of the past? The recent work of the Smart Cities group at MIT?s Media Laboratory has focused upon radically rethinking urban mobility for the digital era, taking advantage of new technologies to achieve enhanced levels of mobility while reducing overall energy consumption, carbon emissions, and urban congestion. Please join us for a very special evening with William J. Mitchell, Director of MIT?s Design Laboratory and the MIT Media Laboratory?s Smart Cities research group, as he discusses the folding, electric, shared-use City Car developed in collaboration with General Motors, the Media Scooter developed in collaboration with SYM, and other projects. Speaker William J. Mitchell is the Alexander Dreyfoos Professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences at MIT, Director of the MIT Design Laboratory, and Director of the MIT Media Laboratory?s Smart Cities research group. His research focuses upon new strategies for architectural design and production, digital media, and cities in the era of large-scale digital networks. Among his publications are: Imagining MIT: Designing a Campus for the 21st Century (2007), Placing Words: Symbols, Space, and the City (2005), City of Bits: Space, Place, and the Infobahn (1995), and The Reconfigured Eye: Visual Truth in the Post-Photographic Era (1992) ? all from the MIT Press. He has been a regular columnist for the Royal Institute of British Architects Journal, and for Building Design magazine, London. >From 1992 to 2003 he served as Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT, and was Architectural Advisor to the President of MIT during its recent major building campaign. Previously he held faculty positions at UCLA ? where he was Head of the Architecture/Urban Design Program, Cambridge, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He received his architectural training at the University of Melbourne and at Yale. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. For more information on William J. Mitchell and the Smart Cities, you may visit: http://web.media.mit.edu/~wjm/ http://cities.media.mit.edu/ Please note: This event will begin promptly at 6:00pm and end at 8:00pm.

Featuring music by DJ Beautiful Crissy. http://3ldnyc.com/ *** Building MIDI Music & Video Controllers: Creating a Sensor Instrument with MidiTron Tue-Thu, Oct 9-11, 6:30-9:30 pm Instructor: Leif Krinkle Imagine waving your hand and having an orchestra at your fingertips or tapping on a surface to explore a video archive. This is all possible through the use of MIDI and sensor-based technology. In three sessions, you will design and build a controller to create your art with the easy-to-use MidiTron interface (http://miditron.com). Emphasis will be on hands-on learning. Basic electronics and Max/MSP/Jitter (http://cycling74.com/products/maxmsp) programming will also be covered. No previous knowledge of electronics, sensors or programming is assumed. Background information will be covered and the bulk of the class will be focused on building a working controller that you will take home and begin to create with. Examples of previous project ideas include a shoe that creates notes for each step and a glove that determines lighting cues in a theatrical performance. This is of interest to Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Actors, Engineers, Programmers, Lighting, Sound and Graphic Designers and others. Cost: $495 including MidiTron & sensors http://lemurbots.org to register *** Microcontroller Progamming for Artists: Introduction to the Arduino System Mon-Wed, Oct 1-3, 6:30-9:30 pm Instructor: Roberto Osorio-Goenaga Have you ever wanted to build a robot or an interactive art installation? Have you ever wondered how LEDs, sensors and motors work? Through collaborative exercises and the development of a final project you will learn how to program and prototype with an Arduino microcontroller (http://arduino.cc). This class is geared towards beginners, and no prior knowledge of electronics or programming is required. This class will demonstrate programming and electronics basics through hands-on microcontroller projects. You will learn digital and analog input and output techniques for controlling motors and interpreting sensors, as well as the programming skills necessary to use these components effectively. We will also explore advanced concepts in interface, motion and display based on student interest. By the end of this class students will have a firm understanding of how microcontrollers, sensors and actuators work and how to utilize these tools in their own creative projects. Cost: $375 including Arduino board & materials http://lemurbots.org to register *** Dorkbot-nyc People doing strange things with electricity Wednesday, Oct 3, 7pm at Location One in Soho http://dorkbot.org Dorkbot-nyc is a monthly meeting of artists (sound/image/movement/whatever), designers, engineers, students, scientists, and other interested parties from the New York area who are involved in the creative use of electricity. Dorkbot meetings are free and open to the public. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
