In this lecture, MIT Professor Hiroshi Ishii will showcase the evolution of TMG's vision from Tangible Bits to Radical Atoms, demonstrating how they make bits (digital information) tangible and atoms dance. Ishii will be joined in conversation by MIT Museum Senior Director of Collections Deborah Douglas.

Through interactive exhibits of Sandscape, inFORM, and TRANSFORM, the group aims to inspire future creators by exploring new forms of human expression, communication, and design. The work highlights the value of transdisciplinary research, where the boundaries between art, design, science, and technologies are blurred. They seek to not only invent but also inspire the next generation through the restoration and preservation of our research artifacts.

This program is being held in conjunction with the Museum's new installation, Radical Atoms, on view on the third floor beginning January 31, 2025.
